Yubei District, Chongqing City——Exploring and developing high-efficiency agriculture in mountainous areas

Yubei District, Chongqing——

Exploring and developing high-efficiency agriculture in mountainous areas (promoting rural revitalization in an all-round way)

　　In Qinglong Village, Dasheng Town, Yubei District, Chongqing City, citrus forests criss-cross and lush.

　　Under the tree, slender black pipes surround the fruit trees, dripping water and fertilizers precisely to the roots of the trees, saving more than 60% of water than in the past; The arm sprays insecticides evenly on the leaves, and the efficiency is increased by more than 10 times; in the monitoring station on the mountainside of the orchard, the sensor equipment relies on satellite remote sensing, Internet of Things and other technologies to monitor the humidity, light, soil and pests and diseases in the garden in real time. , Early prevention of various disasters.

　　Villager Luo Guangquan pushed aside the leaves and said while pressing the citrus: "The skin is thin and the size is big. This year's harvest is good!"

　　In recent years, Yubei District has sought productivity from science and technology. In view of the complex terrain and scattered land plots of hilly and mountainous areas, it has promoted land transformation according to local conditions, built smart agriculture, and explored new ways to develop high-efficiency agriculture in mountainous areas.

　　Qinglong Village is a typical mountainous and hilly village. In the past, the fields were scattered and the farming conditions were poor. Most of the village's young and middle-aged laborers went out to work, and a lot of land was abandoned.

In January 2018, Qinglong Village seized the opportunity of Yubei District to build a citrus industrial belt along the road from Dasheng Town to Tongjing Town, and began to transform the land of the whole village into an opportunity.

Merge the fragmented cultivated land, make the steep slopes become gentle and scattered into a whole. At the same time, dig trenches and ridges, build mechanical farming roads, and build a standardized mountain orchard of 2,350 mu.

In 2021, the village will play a "combined fist" of science and technology to build a digital modern orchard in hilly and mountainous areas. 11 people can manage 50,000 fruit trees, the cost of orchard management and maintenance will be reduced by 50%, and the average income per mu will increase by more than 10,000 yuan.

　　The more than 2 mu of land contracted by Luo Guangquan has also been transformed into a flat and gentle slope. He joined the professional cooperative in the village as an orchard technician by buying the land as a share.

"There is a salary of 4,000 yuan per month, and the cooperative in the village pays dividends every year. I didn't expect that the land can be planted like this!"

　　"The district has completed a total of 87,000 mu of hilly and mountainous land, which has improved the farming conditions. The 'thin' land has become more 'fertile', and the area has increased by more than 5%." Chen Hua, director of the Yubei District Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, introduced.

　　In Yubei, smart agriculture has yielded fruitful results.

　　In Qianzhan Village, Dasheng Town, the citrus groves are thriving.

Looking at the criss-crossed land, the villagers have a new idea to increase their income.

"The mechanical farming road is so wide, what else can be planted between the two wheels!" Fu Fugang, the general secretary of the village party branch, called villagers and agricultural technicians. After discussion, he decided to "plant citrus on the ridge and bury potatoes in the ditch" to achieve "Two without delay, double income".

　　Today, the seeder is driven all the way from the machine plowing road, and the potatoes are deeply "embedded" in the ground.

What used to be a day's work for two farmers can now be done in minutes with a planter.

　　In Jiangkou Village, Tongjing Town, 5,000 mu of machine-friendly orchards are being developed contiguously, and water and fertilizer integration facilities are installed for precise drip irrigation.

Today, villagers can use the intelligent management and control platform to remotely control agricultural machinery while sitting in the office.

　　Looking at the citrus groves, Chen Hua said that as a national rural revitalization demonstration county establishment unit and a digital village pilot area, Yubei District will accelerate the promotion of agricultural mechanization and intelligence, and improve the level of agricultural technology in mountainous areas.
