The efficiency of Guangdong rice unmanned farm is 100 times that of manpower.

In 2020, in order to explore and solve the problems of "who will plant the land" and "how to plant the land", Luo, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, a Guangdong rural science and technology correspondent and a professor of South China Agricultural University, and his team set up the first unmanned rice farm in Guangdong, which realized the whole process of rice cultivation, planting, management and harvesting without human operation, and the efficiency of unmanned rice farm was 100 times that of manual operation.

In this live broadcast of "unmanned farm" in Zengcheng Teaching and Research Base of South China Agricultural University, unmanned rotary tillage, unmanned live broadcast on water, unmanned rotary tillage in dry land and unmanned harvesting were displayed respectively. In the process of unmanned harvesting, two unmanned harvesters and 1 unmanned grain truck work together, which fully presents the precise operation function in smart agriculture.

The unmanned master-slave navigation harvesting system in this link consists of an unmanned harvester and an unmanned grain truck. After receiving the instruction, the unmanned harvester entered the field and began to harvest rice. When the granary is almost full, it immediately sends an instruction to the grain truck, waiting for the unmanned grain truck on the farm to automatically drive to the designated unloading position after receiving the unloading instruction.

Advantages of unmanned farms

1, mechanization of production and processing

According to many factors such as the types of crops planted on the farm and the types of farming, the whole process of mechanization can be realized, that is, if the farm is planted, the whole process of planting, management, harvesting and processing can be realized. At present, the farm that truly realizes the whole process of unmanned field crops is still under construction, and the unmanned farm crops is the ultimate development goal.

2. Unmanned operation

In the ideal state, the operation is unmanned: agricultural machinery and equipment start by themselves, drive from the agricultural machinery warehouse to the fields, and complete harvesting, sowing, spraying and other operations by themselves. If there is an accident during the operation, you can also judge and handle it yourself. After finishing the operation, the agricultural machinery returns to the agricultural machinery warehouse for charging or refueling.
