In early spring, the wheat fields in Zhoukou National Agricultural High tech Zone, Henan Province are lush with greenery and full of vitality. A tractor with long arms is shuttling through the fields, spraying even and fine medicinal solutions from the long arms on both sides. But upon closer inspection, this tractor is actually unmanned. What's going on?
It turns out that "strange" is on the earth, but "mysterious" is in the sky. According to Wang Lei, a major grain farmer, this machine is equipped with Beidou automatic navigation equipment and intelligent control system, and there is no need for manual driving during operation, just manually fine-tuning the steering wheel when turning and turning, and the operation speed is fast, the accuracy is high, and the spraying efficiency is not heavy spray and no leakage spray, which greatly improves the spraying efficiency, thereby helping the farmland to increase production and efficiency.
As a major agricultural city, the annual total grain output of about 18 billion jin, is the first grain producing city in Henan Province, the national grain production advanced city, eight counties are the national grain production advanced counties, has made outstanding contributions to the national food security and supply of major agricultural products.
In recent years, Zhoukou City has put forward a leap-forward transformation from "agricultural city" to "agricultural strong city", and is actively docking the national new round of 100 billion pounds of grain production capacity improvement action, stabilizing the area, increasing the yield, consolidating the foundation of grain production, and shouldering the stable and solid task of food security.
To raise individual production and carry heavy responsibilities cannot be separated from the blessing of "AI" intelligence of scientific and technological power.
In the farmland of Wang Lei, a large grain farmer, with the help of the smart agricultural information platform, it is easy to complete the spraying of pesticides by unmanned tractors, and it is also possible to complete farmland irrigation by tapping the mobile phone.
According to reports, the "smart agriculture information platform" uses big data, the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, satellite communication, Beidou navigation, remote sensing and other technologies. Through access to satellite data, field, crop, weather and climate data are collected, and then combined with the data collected by ground monitoring stations for comprehensive calculation and analysis, so as to provide suggestions for field management. On the large screen of the smart platform, the field soil, crop growth, weather and other indicators are clear at a glance.
At present, Zhoukou has built more than 200 agricultural monitoring stations, combining satellite remote sensing and ground sensor data to form a digital map covering the city's cultivated land. "There are early warnings of pests and diseases, and there are reminders of spraying and watering. With the help of AI, big data draws an agricultural information map, and carries out accurate guidance and operations in crop irrigation, fertilization, disease and pest control and other links." Wang Lei, a big grain farmer, said.
"AI" helps, farmland income increases, and more and more "weekly rations" appear in the "rice bowl of Chinese people".
