In view of the outstanding problems such as high labor costs, low labor efficiency, high operation intensity and low equipment level in the production process of the orchard, through the deep integration of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, intelligent robots, blockchain and other technical means with advanced planting models, a new model of Sino Israeli smart orchard has been created, realizing the "digital production process", "intelligent decision-making process", "accurate water fertilizer spraying" and "unmanned planting process" of the smart orchard, forming a replicable, promotable and universal "smart orchard" overall solution, and has been demonstrated and promoted. The "smart orchard" has driven the transformation and upgrading of the apple industry.
1、 Digitization of production process
Establish a big data management system for low rootstock wide row dense planting cultivation standards, orchard mapping, fruit tree protection, climate monitoring, yield estimation, pest and disease prediction, as well as orchard geographic information and ownership information.
We have achieved detailed data recording of soil, fertilizer, water, and disease during the growth period of apples, as well as comprehensive collection of periodic fruit tree growth management data. Through the orchard QR code, we can achieve full traceability management and check the time and amount of each fertilization and medication application at any time, ensuring food safety.
2、 Intelligent decision-making process
Based on a real-time and dynamic agricultural IoT perception system (various sensors, weather stations, soil moisture monitoring stations, etc.), fast, multi-dimensional, and multi-scale real-time monitoring of orchard information on weather, water, and soil can be achieved. The intelligent AI video capture and analysis system realizes the full process management details of fruit tree planting, growth, flowering and fruiting. Based on the crop drought period model, the service cycle map of agricultural operations is reconstructed to achieve warning, analysis, guidance, and decision-making based on big data. Through events and automatic push, technical personnel are assisted in more accurate task arrangement and execution, achieving early warning of disasters/pests and diseases, and scientific execution of agricultural operations. Helping fruit farmers improve management efficiency, achieving increased production and cost reduction, and upgrading industrial quality.
This project covers a total area of 300 acres, with two pump rooms divided into one sunlight greenhouse, one linked greenhouse, and 55 film greenhouses. The two pump rooms are equipped with intelligent water and fertilizer integration equipment, automatic irrigation equipment, data acquisition equipment, fully automatic sand and gravel filters+automatic laminated filters, and two sets of remote water and fertilizer integration control. Two sets of constant voltage variable frequency cabinets, one set of meteorological station, multiple in one sensors (temperature, humidity, light, carbon dioxide, etc.), and 48 sets of wireless irrigation solenoid valves are used to achieve wheel irrigation or remote control with mobile phones or computers.
3、 Precision spraying of water, fertilizer and medicine
Introducing and innovating Israel's integrated water and fertilizer technology, the management equipment can be remotely, automatically, or manually activated for regulation based on big data information and planting expert knowledge system. We have achieved automatic control and precise spraying of intelligent irrigation and fertilization in orchards. Based on remote sensing information of orchard pests and diseases, guide the spraying robot to intelligently and accurately apply pesticides. We have achieved a significant reduction in the application of water, fertilizer, and medicine, and protected the ecological environment.
4、 Unmanned planting process
The agricultural production operations in the park are achieved through wireless instructions issued in the command and control center, realizing the automation of water and fertilizer integrated equipment operations, intelligent agricultural robots autonomously navigating according to planned paths, and completing plant protection and operation functions such as orchard water and fertilizer spraying, rotary tillage, mowing, trenching and fertilization. Successfully achieved comprehensive perception and interconnection of people, objects, and information in the park, and innovated a new model of "mobile farming".
Through the integration and application of smart orchard cloud platform management system, water and fertilizer integration technology, Internet of Things technology, intelligent robots, artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies, planting can save more than 40% of water, reduce fertilizer application by more than 60%, reduce labor costs and intensity by 80%, reduce chemical pesticide use by more than 30%, improve the rate of high-quality fruit by more than 5%, increase net income by 5-10%, and achieve significant economic benefits, truly realizing increased production and efficiency. At the same time, it effectively maintains the inherent stable ecosystem of the orchard, promotes the construction of an "ecological orchard", and has significant ecological benefits. This project management can achieve the functions of safety warning, source traceability, flow traceability, information query, responsibility identification, and product recall. We have comprehensively promoted the development of the entire industry chain of fruit seedling research and development, planting bases, sightseeing and picking, refrigerated storage and transportation, e-commerce, and socialized services. Copy and promote 15000 acres of smart orchards, demonstrate and drive 35000 acres of smart orchards, cultivate 100 mobile phone growers, and drive an increase of 30 million yuan in the surrounding economy.
