Unmanned transplanters and harvesters, intelligent irrigation control system and leaf age diagnose technique, these technologies are empowering Jiansanjiang, an important grain production base in Heilongjiang Province as a pioneer of China s intelligent agriculture.
The production base piloted six unmanned farms in 2020, with 875 unmanned transplanters covering about 17,600 hectares and unmanned harvesters harvesting 1,000 hectares of rice, soybean and corn.
Apart from the agricultural machinery, the production base also heralds a digital agriculture platform that gathers information on environmental factors, soil fertility and crop growth in different stages, offering scientific guidance for agricultural field management.
Despite three typhoons, the per-unit yield is higher than last year, thanks to the application of new agricultural technologies, said Liu Linyi, a rice farmer from the production base.
