What is smart agriculture?

Smart agriculture refers to the application of agricultural information technology as the core, transforming traditional agriculture through information technology, comprehensively promoting the integrated development of "Internet +" and agricultural production, operation, management, and services, and promoting intelligent production and marketing Networking has reached a new level, promoting new improvements in management efficiency and service convenience, and providing new impetus for accelerating agricultural modernization and the integration of rural primary, secondary and tertiary industries.

With the application of 4G and 5G communication technology, the word wisdom appears frequently in various fields and industries, which has led to deviations in everyone’s understanding and understanding of “wisdom”. In fact, smart agriculture is not simple. Communication technology should not only be used in agriculture, but also a change in the way of agricultural production and management.

Smart agriculture is market-oriented and uses modern science and technology, including: Internet of Things, Internet, mobile Internet, wireless communication technology, etc., to make full and reasonable use and adapt to local conditions to realize the convention of all links and elements of production and operation. Number, the best combination, to achieve the optimal solution of economic, social, ecological multi-dimensional benefits of agricultural model, while satisfying the three to achieve a balanced state.

1. Intelligent greenhouse

Intelligent greenhouse, usually referred to as multi-span greenhouse or modern greenhouse, is an advanced type of facility agriculture and has a comprehensive environmental control system. This system can Directly adjusting indoor temperature, light, water, fertilizer, gas and many other factors can achieve high yields and good economic benefits throughout the year.

With the rapid development of vegetable greenhouse construction in recent years, smart greenhouses have brought impetus to agricultural development. The control of smart greenhouses generally consists of three parts: signal acquisition system, central computer, and control system.

Smart greenhouses are already operated by many agricultural companies. For example, Hebei Guanzhi Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. located in Raoyang County plans to invest 360 million yuan to vigorously develop smart agriculture.

The company relies on the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and adopts advanced management technology to build a modern agricultural high-tech demonstration integrating high-quality fruit and vegetable production, livestock breeding, high-tech display, deep processing of agricultural products, and agricultural tourism. park.

2. Plant protection drones

Plant protection drones not only spray pesticides, but also have functions such as data collection and monitoring. Plant protection drones are unmanned aircraft used for agricultural and forestry plant protection operations. They mainly realize smart agricultural spraying operations through ground remote control or GPS flight control.

Compared with traditional plant protection operations, drone plant protection operations have the characteristics of precise operation, high efficiency, environmental protection, intelligence, and simple operation, saving farmers the cost of large machinery and a lot of manpower.

It is understood that plant protection drones can reduce farmers’ field labor intensity, reduce environmental pollution, and improve the effectiveness of pest control. Each machine can carry 8-10 kilograms of pesticides. It sprays pesticides at low altitude and can complete one acre of land per minute. Its spraying efficiency is 30 times that of traditional manual labor, especially in places with harsh terrain and difficult manual operations. Drones highlight their advantages.
