Using Internet of Things Technology to Treat Insects in Tea
[ad_1]
With several sensors installed in the tea garden, farmers can grasp the pest information in the most timely manner and make the most authoritative treatment by just using a mobile phone while sitting at home. “With the Internet of Things, ordinary tea farmers can also become experts in the prevention and control of tea diseases and pests.” On December 25, Jiang Shunhuai, a major tea planter at the Lingxia Tea Farm in Yixing, said with emotion.
Jiang Shunhuai, who has been dealing with tea for decades, speaks of the origin of tea. He said that A. lucorum, small green leaf, and tea looper are the three major pests that plagued tea production. In the past, in order to monitor the condition, he would go to the tea garden every morning when the tea production period was reached, and explore the medication based on his own experience; He was also “unsure” about some diseases and insect pests, so he specially ordered the “Information Analysis on Diseases and Pests” from the Wuxi Tea Research Institute, but it takes about 10 days for the “intelligence” to be mailed here, which often delays the best treatment period.
In 2007, a serious A. lucorum pest broke out. Because the tea venue is located in a remote mountainous area and the transportation is inconvenient, when the expert’s disposal plan is in the hands of the tea farmers, 100 acres of tea have been eaten up by bugs. “Loss more than 300,000 yuan!” Jiang Shunhuai was heartbroken.
The Wuxi Tea Research Institute, which Jiang Shunhuai asked for help, is responsible for monitoring the pests and diseases of more than 100 tea farms in Wuxi. Just as Lao Jiang was troubled by the problems of disease and insect intelligence monitoring and information transmission, the Institute found hope to solve the problem from the Internet of Things technology. At the end of last year, the Institute and Nanjing Agricultural University jointly developed the tea field application technology of the Internet of Things. In March of this year, this technology was first put into use on a 100-mu test field, mainly for the prevention and control of A. lucorum pests. From the perspective of the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, the test situation is very satisfactory. This Internet of Things technology realizes the real-time data collection, processing, analysis, and information transmission of pests. As long as pests occur, farmers can receive the accurate information and disposal methods of the pests via mobile phones in just one day! Lao Jiang said: “Through the monitoring and control of the Internet of Things, the production of tea per mu can be increased by 30%, and the income per mu can be increased by 900 yuan.”
The tangible effects of prevention and control have given tea farmers full confidence in the application prospects of the new Internet of Things technology in the field of tea production. “I heard experts say that if the Internet of Things technology is applied to other production links such as pest control and fertilization, it can increase the benefits by an average of 50% per mu!” Jiang Shunhuai said with happiness: “With the Internet of Things, pest control experts Being by our side all the time, our tea farmers feel a lot more at ease.”
Creative decision
As more and more countries and regions have established IoT technology and industries as the strategic focus of cultivating core competitiveness, Wuxi, which has been vigorously cultivating emerging industries, has been at the forefront of the world in the research of some IoT technologies. On August 7, 2009, when Premier Wen Jiabao inspected Wuxi, he proposed to speed up the establishment of the “Perceive China” center in Wuxi; on November 13 of the same year, the State Council formally approved and agreed to support Wuxi’s construction of a national sensor network innovation demonstration zone.
“Only by continuous application, can it gradually become popular and further promote technological breakthroughs. Without large-scale demonstration applications, there will be no industrialization of the Internet of Things.” In Wuxi, this concept is becoming a consensus. Today, Wuxi, which has made frequent breakthroughs in the field of independent intellectual property rights in the Internet of Things, is demonstrating the application of Internet of Things technology in more and more fields, and the seemingly “unpredictable” technology is getting closer and closer to our lives. According to statistics, from August last year to the end of October this year, the city signed a total of 165 IoT projects with a total investment of about 12.7 billion yuan. At present, more than 80 application demonstration projects in Wuxi City have been launched in the fields of airport security, safe home furnishing, ecological agriculture, modern logistics, pollution prevention and control, etc. The Internet of Things is improving the happiness index of people’s lives and making the city’s future better. .
