Smart Agriculture Becomes a New Engine for Rural Revitalization

Despite the scorching sun, it did not hinder the progress of project construction. At the construction site of Lijin County Digital Smart Agricultural Greenhouse Project, the workers are working in a tight and orderly manner, The installation of the greenhouse roof glass and indoor curtain system for the project has been completed. Currently, the installation of side glass in the production service area, the construction of internal pipeline grooves in the greenhouse, and the foundation construction of the fire pool and rainwater recovery pool are underway. The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of August this year, “project leader Wu Yanjun told reporters.
The digital smart agricultural greenhouse project in Lijin County covers an area of about 150 mu, with a planned investment of 181 million yuan. It will mainly build 71000 square meters of Dutch Wenluo style smart glass greenhouse, of which the Growing region covers 64800 square meters, and the production service area covers 6300 square meters. The project will introduce the Dutch greenhouse agricultural facility system to achieve remote supervision and control of the whole process of production management.

After the project is completed and put into use, drip irrigation technology will be used to effectively transport fertilizers and water to the roots of plants that are most needed. Through the water and fertilizer system, the waste liquid can be recovered, disinfected, filtered, and recycled, greatly reducing the water and fertilizer input in the production process. Compared to traditional irrigation methods, it saves water and fertilizer by more than 90%. Through scientific environmental control measures, comprehensive recycling and utilization of rainwater can be achieved, “said Wu Yanjun. According to calculations, compared to traditional field planting, the annual yield of tomatoes in greenhouses of the same area has increased by about 5-6 times, and the amount of irrigation water used is 1/20 of that of traditional methods. This has achieved efficient and environmentally friendly development of tomato production.

While saving water and fertilizer, all greenhouses in the project adopt a double-layer curtain design, with the upper layer shading and the lower layer insulation, which can effectively save energy costs. Moreover, through the application of sustainable green biotechnology, the agricultural production within the project adopts drone natural pollination, does not spray pesticides, and does not use hormones to induce ripening. It can continuously produce high-quality and high market demand fruits and vegetables that meet international health standards, truly achieving instant consumption and green and pollution-free products.

The quality has improved, and sales must also be opened up. After the project is completed and put into operation, sales will mainly rely on multiple online and offline sales channels such as Hema Fresh, Tmall, and Dingdong Maicai. After preliminary calculations, the average yield per mu can reach 40000 kilograms, and the average profit per mu can reach 480000 yuan, with considerable economic benefits. “Wu Yanjun introduced that at the same time, the implementation of the project will effectively drive more than 100 people to find employment, promote the adjustment of the local agricultural industry structure, cultivate and develop new agricultural pillar industries, Improving the added value of agricultural products is of great significance.

Smart agriculture is increasingly becoming a new engine and path for economic development. Lijin County attaches great importance to promoting the digital upgrading of agriculture, constantly promotes the application of Big data, Internet, 5G and other technologies in the agricultural field in combination with the construction of digital countryside, constantly explores the intellectualization of agricultural production and the efficiency of agricultural operation and management, walks out a characteristic road for the development of modern agriculture, promotes the transformation of agricultural production entities from “will” to “smart” farming, and realizes the “simultaneous progress” of scale, mechanization and intelligence, Accelerate the high-quality development of the agricultural industry and boost the Common prosperity of farmers.
