[Well-off China] Xinjiang cotton farmers irrigate the remote realization of smart phones without agricultural tools
[Explanation] The three treasures of "shovel, rubber boots, and flashlight" used by cotton farmers for watering are now hard to find in Letuyi Town, Manas County, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang. Instead, they can be remotely irrigated by using mobile phones. .
[Explanation] Right now, it is the critical period for cotton to set fruit. In the cotton field of the Lesheng Cotton Planting Cooperative in Letuyi Town, Manas County, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang, the chairman of the cooperative, Ma Youhong, is irrigating the cotton field remotely through mobile phone software. Water, nutrients, and drugs are accurately transported to the roots of the crop through drip irrigation The soil improves the accuracy of irrigation, fertilization and pesticide application, and realizes the intelligent cotton production management method that saves water, fertilizer, medicine and labor.

In the past, our cotton was at most 300 kilograms, 350 kilograms, this is more than 200 kilograms, and now it can be increased to 400 to 500 kilograms, so the quality of its cotton is greatly improved.
[Explanation] The reason why cotton is growing well is mainly due to the smart agricultural irrigation water saving system. The intelligent agricultural irrigation water-saving system analyzes the automatic monitoring system, collects soil, climate, and plant-related data, processes the data results and makes irrigation and drainage decisions. The irrigation controller transmits wireless control signals to control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve, and Real-time monitoring of pipeline pressure and flow and other information, and accurate water and fertilizer irrigation of farmland crops.
[Explanation] After using the smart agricultural irrigation and water saving system, the reduction of fertilizers and pesticides has reached about 20%, the utilization rate of fertilizers has increased by 10%, the utilization rate of chemical pesticides has increased by more than 6%, and the average cotton production has increased by 3%. .
