Can Internet + be approachable in agriculture? What does smart agriculture look like?

What does intelligent agriculture look like?

How to grow and how to raise, it's all done with one button.

"Mobile navigation for farming is amazing!" On April 14, Deng Fade, a farmer from Qingshubao Village, Changyang Tujia Autonomous County, Hubei Province, stood on his vegetable field and showed to reporters with his mobile phone that the land belonged to several classes of land, how the soil fertility, and what the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be. It's clear on the screen. "in the past, based on experience, there was no formula for vegetable production, but now it uses high technology, saves fertilizer, and can increase production by 700 kilograms per mu!"

"Mobile Navigation farming system" is a software jointly developed by Changyang County Agricultural Bureau and Huazhong Agricultural University. It integrates practical techniques such as soil testing formula, crop cultivation and pest diagnosis. Since September last year, there are 274 computers and more than 12000 mobile phones in the rural areas of the county, and 10% of farmers have benefited from the system.

Walking into Pengdun Village, Zhongxiang City, Jingmen City, the blue waves of Qinglong Lake Reservoir are rippling, and there are several long white poles floating on the surface of the lake. What is this? "this is the sensor. Fish farming is most afraid of anoxic 'turning over ponds'. With this equipment, the water temperature, oxygen content, pH value and other data of 2000 mu of water surface can be seen at any time, when to increase oxygen, when to bait, all with one mouse. " Technician Yu Lei turned on the computer to demonstrate, "if the fish is sick, catch one and put it on the instrument, the image will be transmitted to the Internet of things system, and the microscope can enlarge the diseased part of the fish, so that experts can answer questions in time and tell us what is wrong with the fish." how to treat it. "

The change of the mode of production

Improve labor productivity and open up the "last kilometer" of agrotechnical services

Mobile phones guide farmers to apply fertilizer accurately, the Internet of things to achieve scientific fish farming, watering, fertilization, medicine, are precisely guarded by the Internet. In Hubei, information technology is bringing new changes to traditional agriculture.

Cheng Gang, director of the Agricultural Bureau of Changyang Tujia Autonomous County, said that the biggest advantage of mobile navigation is that it solves the problem of "the last kilometer" of agricultural technology services. Changyang has a small population, and it is too busy to rely on a limited number of agricultural technicians, but every farmer has at least a mobile phone, and many problems can be solved by mobile phone consultation at home. In addition, soil testing and formula fertilization can also reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer and improve the quality and safety of agricultural products.

Faced with the constraints of resource shortage, agriculture urgently needs to improve the level of fine management. In the view of Chen Shiyuan, deputy general manager of Qinglong Lake Agricultural Development Company, the advantage of the Internet of things is to reduce farming costs and to enhance the brand. By interconnecting computers with sensors, he says, you can know what disease the fish are suffering from and what drugs they give, greatly reducing the losses caused by overdose.

Through the technology of the Internet of things to transform agriculture and improve the degree of intelligence of each link, it is helpful to realize "environment measurable, production controllable and quality traceable". Chen Shiyuan said that with the Internet of things, "Pengdun" brand products are added a QR code, scan, what fertilizer, what medicine, consumers can see, although the price is more expensive, it can still sell well.

The production efficiency has been greatly improved. In the thousands of acres of Lenovo blueberry garden in Qujialing, Jingmen City, rows of blueberries are arranged neatly, with long black water pipes and drip irrigation systems in the middle of each row, and white sensors are installed in the fields. Blueberries are very strict with the pH of the soil. The pH value must be kept between 4.5 and 5. Beyond this range, blueberries cannot grow. However, the pH value of the local soil is about 6.5, so the pH must be adjusted at any time. " Lu Gang, the manager of the base, graduated from Qingdao Agricultural University and is very professional in technology.

Lu Gang said that in the past, blueberries had to be taken from the soil at any time to measure the acidity and alkalinity, and a little bit of compost was done in the fields, which cost more than 150 yuan a day. Now, with the click of a mouse, the drip irrigation system in the field can be watered and fertilized automatically, which is much more convenient and more accurate.

At present, there are 38 agricultural Internet of things demonstration bases in Hubei Province, involving 150000 mu of cultivated farmland and more than 20 breeding farms.
