When spring ploughing and rushing to farm, science and technology help agriculture. In order to improve the efficiency and quality of spring ploughing production, Jingtai County vigorously promotes the application of new technologies and new equipment such as Beidou navigation and modern agricultural machinery, which not only improves the quality and speed of spring ploughing, but also presses the "fast forward button" for the county's spring ploughing production.
In a farmland in Xijing Village, Manshuitan Township, a bucket navigation ridger is shuttling back and forth in the field, ridge forming and mulching in one go, and straight ridges are spread on the flat land like ribbons.
In the eyes of grower Zhou Jiyao, Beidou Navigation is his "good helper" for spring ploughing production. Beidou Navigation is equipped with a self-developed high-precision attitude sensor, which can achieve high-precision operation with the blessing of the Beidou satellite positioning system, and the walking error is less than ±2.5cm. For ridge mulching operations, the high precision of agricultural machinery navigation is a great help, which not only improves the utilization rate of land, seeds, fertilizers and plastic films, but also alleviates the problems of labor shortage, high cost and low efficiency in agricultural production, so that farmers can save money and effort in farming.
Grower Zhou Jiyao: Now we all use a ridger with Beidou navigation for ridge raising, and the ridge raised by the Beidou navigation ridger is straight, the row spacing is uniform, and the depth is appropriate and consistent. The 100 acres of peppers we planted this year may be completed in three days with a ridger, which is faster and more trouble-free than the previous manual ridges.
In another field not far away, a modern fertilizer spreader is adding fertilizer, and the snow-white fertilizer flows down the pipe into the manure trough and then onto the field, the whole process is quick and convenient.
Grower Zhou Jiyao: When we spread chemical fertilizer, we use a professional fertilizer spreader, which spreads fertilizer very evenly and quickly, and can spread about 200 acres a day.
Agricultural machinery is the guarantee for increasing agricultural production and income. In recent years, under the support of the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, Jingtai County Agricultural Mechanization Service Center has vigorously promoted advanced agricultural machinery and smart agricultural machinery, and more and more high-tech agricultural machinery and equipment have been stationed in the field, which has injected strong scientific and technological impetus into the high-quality development of modern agriculture in our county while helping farmers increase production and income.
