Weifang, Shandong: "Smart Agriculture" Illuminates the Road to Enriching the People with Featured Industries
2026-04-20
Walking into Yaoshui Village, Luocheng Street, Shouguang City, Weifang, Shandong Province, the high standard winter warm greenhouses are neatly arranged, with lush greenery inside. More than 10 varieties of vegetables, including creamy cucumbers, colorful peppers, tomatoes, etc., are in the peak harvest season. We apply fertilizers containing various Chinese herbal ingredients, which can suppress diseases and pests. The cucumbers we grow have thin, crisp skin and a milky aroma, and can be sold for up to 15 yuan per kilogram, with an annual income of over 100000 yuan per mu of land. ”Li Xinggang, Chairman of Shouchengyao Fruit and Vegetable Farmers' Professional Cooperative Union in Shouguang City, said. The vegetable growing model that used to rely on the weather has now transformed into a smart agriculture that can be controlled with just one click. The reporter saw in the greenhouse that intelligent devices such as automatic rolling shutter machines, electric sprinkler irrigation machines, and automatic spraying machines were readily available. Nowadays, all vegetable cultivation relies on electricity, with automatic temperature and humidity display inside the greenhouse. When it's cold, turn on insulation, when it's hot, turn on shading, and when it's dry, turn on sprinkler irrigation. With just a click of a mobile phone, planting in the greenhouse is becoming increasingly easy. ”Li Zelong, a vegetable farmer from the United Cooperative who has been engaged in vegetable cultivation for more than 20 years, said that he planted 6 acres of colorful pepper greenhouses this year, and it is expected that the yield per acre can reach 20000 kilograms, with an average net income of more than 80000 yuan per acre. Electrification intelligent management is worry free and high-yielding. ”Li Xinggang said that the joint venture has planted more than 2500 acres of vegetables, more than 300 high-end vegetable greenhouses, with an annual sales revenue of over 100 million yuan, driving hundreds of vegetable farmers in six villages to increase their income and become prosperous. Liu Chunxiang, Chief of Vegetable Technology Promotion Section of Shouguang Agricultural and Rural Bureau, said that in recent years, Shouguang has transformed and improved agricultural infrastructure and industrial equipment with industrial Internet thinking. The popularization rate of intelligent equipment, the application rate of Internet of Things, and the standardized production promotion rate of new greenhouses have all exceeded 85%, and the labor productivity has increased by 30% to 50%. Technology empowers traditional agriculture to enter a new stage of precision and intelligence. At the intelligent greenhouse seedling base of Weifang Lulenong Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. in Changle County, six high standard greenhouses are nurturing more than 20 varieties of fruit and vegetable seedlings. The base has established a "environmental perception intelligent decision-making precise execution" system, with AI image recognition algorithms capable of accurately identifying over 90% of pests and diseases, and high-precision sensors for precise temperature and humidity control. Previously, we relied on experience to figure out patterns, but now sensors transmit real-time data, and mobile phones can easily control water, fertilizer, and ventilation with just one click. The power supply company has upgraded the lines specifically for the base to ensure the stable operation of the base's electrical equipment. The fertilizer utilization rate of the base has increased by more than 30%, the water saving rate has reached 50%, and the survival rate of seedlings has increased from 80% to 95%. ”The company's general manager Yang Kai said that the base cultivates 15 million high-quality seedlings annually, which are exported to more than 10 provinces and drive more than 500 households in the surrounding areas to increase their income. The vigorous development of smart agriculture cannot be achieved without stable power support. We accurately connect with the electricity demand of smart agriculture, develop a '24 solar terms' service ledger based on the laws of agricultural production, and conduct special inspections by the power supply service team in smart agriculture parks and various agricultural cooperatives. We connect with key nodes such as seedling cultivation and irrigation in advance, investigate hidden dangers in the lines, and ensure that smart devices do not cut off power, "said Li Ming, the head of the marketing department of State Grid Changle County Power Supply Company. From "knowing how to farm" to "smart farming", new technologies such as IoT intelligent control and management, intelligent water and fertilizer integrated machine application, and intelligent plant protection machine operation empower the development of modern agriculture, help improve the quality and efficiency of facility agriculture, and inject new momentum into rural revitalization.
