Walking into the vegetable greenhouse located in the sixth port village of Xinkou Town in the early morning, a warm and humid air came to the face, and the various crops that worked hard to grow upwards declared the vitality of spring, but what made the reporter a little puzzled was that there was no farmer in the field during this time when farming should have begun.
"The three APPs on my mobile phone can intelligently manage the humidity and temperature in the greenhouse, including spraying fertilizer and spraying, which can also be completed with one click. A few days ago, our husband and wife went to Shanghai to participate in the exhibition, and the people in the village asked what to do with the land at home, in fact, since the construction of the smart greenhouse, we farmers have gradually 'liberated' from the field, and we don't have to worry about whether there is anyone to take care of when we go out for a few days. Hao Qingqi, the person in charge of the Tianjin Urban Vegetable Garden Vegetable Planting Cooperative, broke the "mystery" in one sentence.
Follow Hao Qingqi to the depths of this 120-meter-long, 4-acre "super greenhouse", and the scientific and technological elements in the shed are displayed one by one. In this process, we saw the image of a "new farmer" who is constantly exploring and striving to protect the native fields on the road of rejuvenating agriculture with science and technology.
The intelligent system of two "super greenhouses".
"This one greenhouse is equivalent to the area of six conventional sheds, and now a global monitoring system is installed in the shed, which automatically monitors the humidity and temperature in the shed every 10 seconds. For example, when we grow tomatoes and cucumbers, the temperature range is 24 to 26 degrees in the morning, 26 to 30 degrees in the afternoon, and 24 to 26 degrees in the afternoon. I can check the greenhouse situation in real time within 72 hours through my mobile phone. Hao Qingqi opened the "Thermal Insulation Greenhouse Intelligent Temperature Control System APP" on his mobile phone as he spoke, and the parameters in the shed were clear at a glance.
At present, Hao Qingqi's cooperatives have 2 "super greenhouses", with a total cultivation area of 8 acres. In the fickle spring and summer, the advantages of intelligent management are more prominent.
"There is a lot of rain in spring and summer, and it will bring a lot of viruses or germs, which will have a great impact on agricultural production, especially greenhouse crops. We installed a rain sensor, and when the rain dripped onto the sensor, the air outlet of the greenhouse was automatically closed. After the rain stops, it will open the air outlet to adjust the temperature according to the temperature in the shed. Hao Qingqi said that in summer, there is a lot of sudden rainfall, catching up with the villagers who are not in the field, the rain directly irrigates the crops, and the direct sunlight in the shed after the rain stops, sometimes it will have a catastrophic impact on the crops, and this set of rainproof equipment properly avoids these problems.
The efficiency is improved by dozens of times, the one-time molding technology equipment for broadcasting and laying drip irrigation tape, the ozone generator that releases ozone to destroy viruses, and the "flying saucer" that uses high-pressure and high-speed fans to kill pests and diseases...... The latest achievements in technology-enabled agriculture "protect" crops in sheds to thrive. At present, Hao Qingqi is busy upgrading the integrated intelligent system of water and fertilizer.
"The integrated water and fertilizer equipment has a large investment and strict flow control of the water pump, which used to be used for large-scale agricultural irrigation. After more than 10 years of independent research and development, we can now solve the problem by adjusting the frequency of the pump. In the next step, after the intelligent upgrade of water and fertilizer integration is completed, the two 'super greenhouses' will be equipped with LED displays, and the temperature, humidity, and soil moisture will be displayed on the screen. When the land needs to be watered, the system will automatically turn on the pump to automatically pump and water, and realize the intelligent control of all links of the entire shed. This spring, Hao Qingqi is even busier.
The story behind the three mobile apps
"If you want to innovate, who will innovate?"
"If you believe in science, you must make good use of it. ”
"Agriculture is no longer facing the loess with its back to the sky, what technology is needed for agricultural production, what are the pain points, we farmers know best. ”
……
Hao Qingqi has both the industrious and simple characteristics of Chinese farmers and the "pioneer" temperament of being keen on science and technology and daring to innovate. As a leader of the cooperative, he knows that if the industry becomes bigger and stronger, it is necessary to empower agriculture with science and technology and standardize production management standards. Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of Tianjin Urban Vegetable Garden Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative in 2013, Hao Qingqi began to cooperate with many universities to carry out research and development.
"Times are different, and we want to achieve high-quality agricultural development, which cannot be achieved by relying only on farmers in the field. Over the years, we have cooperated with Tianjin Agricultural University, Tianjin University of Commerce and many other universities, and now we are also carrying out industry-university-research projects with enterprises. Like this smart greenhouse, we have been cooperating with Tianjin University of Commerce, applying for more than 10 or 20 patents every year, and these mobile apps are developed with Tianjin Defa Technology Co., Ltd. Hao Qingqi said.
With the agricultural "science and technology dream", Hao Qingqi always pays attention to the latest agricultural scientific and technological achievements and transforms them. As the leader of the cooperative, he is well aware that technology promotion should be invested and tested first, and after accumulating successful experience, he will actively promote it to farmers. After a long time, the vegetables and fruits produced by Lao Hao's cooperative are of good quality and high yield, and their reputation has spread far and wide, and customers have come to purchase one after another. However, because the crops are scattered in various sheds, the route is confusing and time-consuming. This gave Hao Qingqi the idea of building a crop display greenhouse.
"We not only want to show products, but also want to show our scientific and technological content, but the construction cost of smart greenhouses is also quite high, in the winter of 2021, a heavy snowstorm collapsed the original greenhouse, at that time the government compensated part of it, I paid some of it myself, and built these two 'super greenhouses'. Hao Qingqi said that he also plans to get an "ID card" for the greenhouse, so that customers can scan the code to see the growth of crops in the shed in real time, and can buy and eat with peace of mind.
Lao Hao's multiple identities
The new farmers who play with science and technology and the leaders of cooperatives are the most significant "labels" on Hao Qingqi, but in fact, Lao Hao's identity is more than that-
Local Experts & Consumer Consultants
Hao Qingqi is a local expert on CCTV's agricultural channel's "Field Demonstration Show" and a special consultant for Tianjin TV's urban channel's "Consumer" program. Lao Hao said that the program gave him a new world to promote advanced planting technology, which can give everyone an in-depth understanding of modern agriculture, so that more people, especially young people, are interested in agriculture and willing to devote themselves to agriculture.
Entrepreneurship mentor
After the CCTV program was broadcast, Hao Qingqi received consultation calls from all over the country to learn how to grow radishes with him. In recent years, Hao Qingqi has strictly screened the entrepreneurial conditions of "students" and the natural environment in various places, and has gone to Gansu, Jiangxi and other places to guide local farmers in planting. At the same time, in the sixth port village, there are young people who have returned to the village to start a business to ask Hao Qingqi for advice, and Lao Hao not only shares guidance in technology, but also gives strong support in funds and equipment.
The guardian of traditional crops in the field
In recent years, Hao Qingqi has successively introduced new varieties of crops with novel categories, high added value and wide popularity in the market, such as pineapple radish and ice cream radish. However, Lao Hao did not give up the planting and cultivation of local "farmhouse varieties" because of the market value, and the sixth port cabbage melon with a faint rose aroma after ripening is one of them. In recent years, due to the degradation of the provenance and poor disease resistance, the yield of cabbage melon has declined, and Hao Qingqi has cooperated with scientific research institutes to improve its excellent seed characteristics by purifying and rejuvenating the planting mode.
At the end of today's greenhouse tour, whether it is to shout "wow" for the advanced modern agricultural technology, or to admire the innovative vitality of "field scientists", in this spring, hope has been sown, and a bumper harvest can be expected!
