Smart agriculture showcases its technological prowess

In recent years, Jiangsu Rugao has actively promoted smart agriculture by equipping “rice bags”, “fish baskets”, and “water tanks” with “digital brains” by shuttling back and forth, analyzing water quality with underwater biometric recognition systems and intelligent monitoring equipment, and setting intelligent on-off switches for the “trinity” water-saving irrigation and drainage system based on water level.

The waves of rice roll and the fragrance of rice wafts. With the high-speed rotation of the harvester, Qin Xinghua, the farmer of Runjie Family Farm in Daizhuang Village, was overjoyed. Now it’s purely mechanized harvesting. The 1150 acres of land I contracted for can be harvested by all five harvesters in a week, and the dryers are also running synchronously. Sheyang Chunqiu Rice Industry Co., Ltd. has already booked this year’s rice with us, and the delivery trucks are waiting for loading trucks.

The fundamental solution to the problem of eating lies in technology. Now, in the vast fields of Chengbei Street in different seasons, intelligent harvesters, unmanned plant protection machines, automatic straight spray bar spray, automatic straight high-speed rice transplanters and other new agricultural machinery and equipment have “braved the wind and waves” to highlight their unique work.

Lu Caixia, Deputy Director of the Party and Political Office of Chengbei Street and Head of Agricultural and Rural Bureau’s Agricultural Technology Work, introduced, “Nowadays, the entire process of grain cultivation cannot be separated from the assistance of agricultural mechanization. Therefore, in recent years, we have always adhered to precise service for agricultural production, including seedling raising, sowing, fertilization, plant protection, harvesting, and drying storage. The entire process of mechanization operation is time-saving and labor-saving. This year, the rice planting area of Chengbei Street is about 74000 acres, with a yield of 1300 kilograms per mu. With the help of technology, It is expected to complete all harvesting operations before November 8th.

The fry are all imported from Guangdong, and this type of black fish likes high temperatures. They use self-designed temperature controlled greenhouses to keep the fish pond above 15 degrees Celsius year-round. Compared to local varieties of black fish, southern black fish has better meat texture, stronger disease resistance, and higher yields in high-density growth environments.

Technology empowers the construction of ecological ditches and assists agricultural production. Taking advantage of the high standard farmland construction, the Pudong community bravely takes the lead in exploring the path of “smart irrigation”, and the “trinity” water-saving irrigation and drainage system helps ecological ditches make a stunning appearance.
