In recent years, Suzhou has actively explored digital reform to promote the digital transformation of the city. In terms of agricultural digitalization, Suzhou is accelerating the construction of an intelligent crop management platform and rejuvenating agricultural production through information technology.
In an agricultural industrial park in Wangting Town, Xiangcheng District, farmer Li Quan took two photos from different angles on the edge of the farmland with his mobile phone, and after uploading them to the system, the declaration was completed in one minute. "Now we only need to check the list and sign it, and the main role is to verify our subsidies in the field, reduce our workload, and we don't need to go to the field to see each field." Li Quan said.
Behind the burden reduction for farmers is the precise empowerment of the crop cloud management platform in the subsidy verification process. After farmers upload photos, combined with satellite images, the system can obtain three types of information through AI intelligent processing, and can accurately verify irregular fields and scattered small areas.
"Farmers directly push to the mobile phone, directly view their own subsidy results, from farmers to take pictures to our intervention and analysis, the whole process has been semi-automated, and some have been automated." Luo Ming, deputy general manager of Zhongke Hexin Remote Sensing Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., said.
Deng Jinhua, deputy director of the Xiangcheng District Agricultural Technology Comprehensive Service Center, introduced that in the crop cloud management platform system, you can see the verification area of farmland in the whole region in real time, and more than 160 of the 170 households have completed the verification, with a total verification area of 35,400 mu.
In addition, through the crop cloud platform, the precision of agricultural technology services and the real-time scheduling of agricultural conditions can also be realized. In the Xiangcheng District Agriculture and Rural Bureau, the staff can directly reach farmers with one click through the computer platform, grasp the production progress, seedling management, yield analysis, disaster situation and other information, and accurately serve the key links of agricultural production management.
"In the case of the rice season that we have finished, we have monitored the whole process from transplanting to harvesting, and the blue part is relatively weak, and the red part is relatively vigorous. We will alert the fields and farmers who are weak, and the agricultural technicians in the town will also make rounds to understand the situation. Deng Jinhua said.
At present, the platform is focusing on innovation in one place and universal use in all areas, continuously expanding the application scenarios and scope, and at the same time integrating with the high-standard farmland management system under construction. In Tong'an Town, Suzhou High-tech Zone, high-standard farmland on the shore of Taihu Lake is regularly monitoring the core indicators of cultivated land through cutting-edge technologies such as hyperspectral remote sensing to carry out intelligent management and protection.
"This field is a systematically labeled plot, and the results of the soil organic matter test in June 2023 are average, and we have reached the target in December 2023 by guiding farmers to improve and improve organic matter, and the current growth of wheat in our field is basically the same as that of other fields," said Zu Ruochuan, head of the Agricultural Technology Service Center of Suzhou High-tech Zone (Huqiu District).
Through technical analysis, the platform can clearly display the areas to be improved, medium and good quality, as well as quality indicators such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Grasp the changes in cultivated land quality from a wide range of areas, and carry out targeted transformation and upgrading, so that the management of high-standard farmland can be "based on evidence".
Zu Ruochuan said that in the future, it is necessary to realize "what is lacking to make up for what", analyze and integrate resources faster, form a database and continuously improve, and then will carry out experiments, demonstrations and promotions.
