[Rural Revitalization] "Smart Technology" Helps Farmers Prepare for Spring Farming

  [Explanation] On April 8, the reporter learned from the government department of Tongjiang City, Heilongjiang Province that in order to help spring ploughing, the city used scientific and technological means such as intelligent seed soaking and germination, rice traceability system, soil testing and formula fertilization to make the black land in Tongjiang Enjoyed the "Science and Technology Dinner", which laid a solid foundation for increasing agricultural production and farmers' income.

  [Explanation] It is understood that due to the heavy snowfall in Tongjiang City in winter and the slow melting rate of snow, the production progress of spring ploughing in the city has been affected.

Therefore, agricultural technicians have adopted a smart agricultural monitoring system, using IoT devices such as collectors and cameras installed in the rice fields to monitor the data and real-time video surveillance of the rice fields.

There is no need to visit the field in person, which greatly reduces the use of labor.

  Through the installation of our IoT platform and base station, we have realized the timely monitoring of water, fertilizer, diseases and insect pests in the process of rice production, and ensured that in the event of an abnormal situation, we can take appropriate measures to deal with it in time, further realizing our Tongjiang River The whole process of rice production can be traced back.

  [Explanation] Compared with the traditional way of germination of rice by farmers in the past, the intelligent germination workshop standardizes the germination method by applying digital and information-based intelligent control methods, which speeds up the germination speed by 4-6 hours, and can increase the average yield of rice per mu 5 %—10%.

And the buds are neat and robust, and the disease resistance is significantly improved.

It is understood that at present, more than 90% of the rice seeds in Tongjiang City are germinated through the intelligent germination workshop.

  Now this temperature sensor is divided into three layers. There are six to eight temperature sensors in each box, which are inserted into the germination tank, and can intelligently monitor the temperature in the tank in real time and adjust it at any time.

If the temperature is abnormal, the console can alarm and adjust the temperature.

Through intelligent seed soaking and germination, it can greatly save farmers' time for seed soaking and improve the progress of preparing for spring ploughing.

  [Explanation] At the same time, Tongjiang City carried out soil testing and formula fertilization technical services in 49 villages in 10 townships and three farming and animal husbandry farms.

For the newly added land with an area of ​​400,000 mu of soil testing and formula fertilization, sampling investigation and testing and analysis will be carried out to provide a basis for farmers to apply fertilizer formula and prepare for spring ploughing reasonably.

  Based on the soil test results and the opinions of experts, we have formulated 2,000 soil test formula fertilization suggestion cards.

At the same time, we also organized technical personnel to go deep into ten towns and towns in the city, and sent the suggestion card directly to the farmers, so that farmers could grasp the nutrient status of their arable land in time and lay the foundation for the next spring ploughing production.

  [Explanation] In addition to scientific fertilizer preparation, Tongjiang City also sprinkled organic fertilizer on the black land in the black land protection and utilization project area, which protected the farming environment and improved the soil structure. Time and cost are saved, and farmers feel "better" in their hearts.

  Every year we fertilize in our own small garden, which does not exist in the land. Now the government gives us this organic fertilizer for free, which reduces the cost of our input. When the grain production increases in autumn, our income will also increase.
