IoT technology applies traditional agriculture to “technical flow”

Insect warning system reduces production losses

“Even every night, the intelligent insect detection light will automatically light and lure, and automatically take pictures, sort and count the pests, and send a picture to the background every half hour.” Recently, Fan Jinsong, the station manager of the Agricultural Bureau of Ruichang City, Jiangxi Province Turn on the phone and say that it can be viewed on the phone in real time through the Internet of Things technology.

Located in the high-yield and high-efficiency demonstration base of the Saihu grain and oil production in Ruichang City, the Yangtze River, the rice field insect warning system has opened the eyes of reporters. Fan Jinsong said that this work required plant protection personnel to collect pests and diseases on the spot, manually sorting and statistic, regardless of the wind and rain, they were all on the scene, and the workload was too large to be accurately counted. Now you can open the phone to view it in real time. You can also share information and ask experts to conduct a remote “consultation” to develop a prevention and treatment plan.

At present, Ruichang City has built 3 sets of insect disease early warning systems, and 3 sets of systems are about to be put into construction. Fan Jinsong said that in the future, farmers can check the insect situation through mobile phones, conduct targeted prevention and control, and reduce production losses.

Internet of Things Technology Promotes Agricultural Modernization

The reporter found that with the promotion of IoT application technology, “mobile phone tools” are gradually moving the traditional agricultural production of “old soil” to “technical flow”.

In a 5,000-square-meter picking shed in Yingtan Dongrui Industrial Co., Ltd., there are two black water pipes in each squatting area that are close to the roots of the crops. There is a small uniform size every 20 cm on the water pipes. hole. "Look, I click on the No. 3 water pipe on the App's intelligent control interface, and then choose the time, here will automatically and accurately fertilize." Wei Yulong, the company's agricultural technician.

Wei Yulong said that in this modern greenhouse, through the Internet of Things technology, temperature, humidity, soil salinity, moisture and other data can be monitored in real time. Production managers can view these data on their mobile phones and remotely control watering and fertilization. At the same time, the plastic film on the top of the greenhouse can be rolled up and spread out by the mobile phone.

And this is just a scene of the intelligent application of this comprehensive agricultural project covering thousands of acres. In the company's total control platform, dozens of sensors installed in various places continuously transmit real-time data, and this platform can also be remotely controlled through the mobile app.

“These data are the basis and prerequisite for our scientific planting and precise management.” Chen Yuping, general manager of the company, said that relying on this system can carry out production management, inventory management and manual management, which not only greatly improves production efficiency, but also reduces the cost of agricultural materials. Improve product quality.

The reporter learned from the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture that 59 of the 100 counties (cities, districts) in Jiangxi have been connected to the Jiangxi Agricultural Internet of Things platform. Internet of Things technology is grown in Daejeon.
