CCTV News: Field management is busy during the three summer seasons. In the past two days, winter wheat in many places has entered the grouting period, and a bumper harvest is just around the corner.
Smart irrigation, plant protection drones and other technologies have played an important role in the busy farming industry as always.
Shandong Dongying: Accurate allocation From "watering based on experience" to smart irrigation
The grouting period is a critical stage when the grains accumulate nutrients through photosynthesis after the wheat blossoms, from the shriveled empty shell to the increasing plumpness, which directly determines the grain weight and final yield. At this time, wheat is not only prone to diseases and pests, but also needs to ensure water supply.
In the past two days, more than 400,000 acres of winter wheat in Kenli District, Dongying, Shandong, located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, has entered the grouting period. Thanks to the newly installed digital twin system in the irrigation area, the completion time of winter wheat irrigation in the entire district this year is about 5 days shorter than in previous years.
The "smart water conservancy" management and control platform created by Kenli District can collect data in real time, analyze and generate customized irrigation plans, and transform irrigation management from "watering based on experience" to scientific irrigation.
Xinjiang: Efficient operation, plant protection drones make wheat grout more full
230,000 mu of winter wheat in Tumushuke City, Xinjiang has also entered the grouting period recently. In a wheat field of more than 4,000 acres in Yong'an Town, Tumushuke City, plant protection drones shuttle over the sky, spraying high-potassium fertilizers and insect-proof liquid needed during the wheat grouting period.
Hubei: Intelligent cultivation 390,000 mu of glutinous rice transplanting is underway
Rice transplanting in some southern regions is also gradually underway. In the thousand-acre rice fields in Changma Village, Tiandian Town, Xiaoganying City, Hubei Province, more than 10 sets of tillage machines and rice transplanters shuttle back and forth, and the transplanting operation of one acre of rice fields was completed in less than 20 minutes. Intelligent drones collaborate on precise fertilization. The glutinous rice planting area in Yingcheng City has reached 390,000 mu. In recent years, the local government has vigorously developed the glutinous rice industry with the help of intelligent technology, and the utilization rate of smart agricultural machinery has exceeded 85%.
