Mechanized water-saving irrigation: water and fertilizer integration, labor saving and water saving

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] A person can irrigate 1,000 acres of land in less than one day, and can achieve the integration of “water, fertilizer and medicine”, saving labor and saving water. This new irrigation technology is believed to be only for many citizens. I saw it on TV. However, nowadays, in the Fuqiang Modern Agriculture Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative of Leshan City, such technology has been widely applied.

Mechanized water-saving irrigation: water and fertilizer integration, labor saving and water saving

Recently, with a little curiosity, the reporter walked into Fuqiang Modern Agriculture Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative, "contacting this new technology of modern agriculture in water saving irrigation.

Implement mechanized water saving irrigation project

Speaking of Fuqiang Modern Agriculture Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative, it is famous in Yangwan Township, Shizhong District. In 2013, the cooperative developed 1,000 acres of kiwifruit by focusing on the transfer of villagers' land. Due to proper management, it was grafted in the same year, and the fruit was harvested in 2015. In 2016, it reached 600 kilograms of kiwifruit per mu, showing a good momentum of development. Due to outstanding achievements, it has achieved large-scale and standardized planting. In 2015, Fuqiang Modern Agriculture Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative was awarded the title of “Leshan City's second batch of farmers' professional cooperatives municipal model society”.

The expansion of the scale of planting inevitably leads to a large amount of labor and labor shortage, which is also a common problem that often occurs in moderate-scale operations. At the same time, from another perspective, moderate scale operation also provides a platform and ample space for the promotion and application of new agricultural technologies such as water-saving irrigation and rational fertilization.

One is a new problem that needs to be solved, and the other is a new space for good development. This “push” and “pull” room, Fuqiang Modern Agriculture Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative found a combination of the two – modern agricultural mechanized water-saving irrigation project . In October 2016, under the special financial fund subsidy of the Municipal Central District Agriculture Bureau, Fuqiang Modern Agriculture Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative invested 600,000 yuan to organize and implement this project, which was completed in December of the same year.

Water and fertilizer integration saves effort and saves water

Following the regular hardening production road, under the Tang Tianwen, a management expert and technical expert of Fuqiang Modern Agriculture Fruit and Vegetable Cooperative, the reporter came to the cooperative kiwifruit plantation park. I saw the fields in the field, and the scaffolding piles were criss-crossed and arranged neatly. After several years of growth, the branches of the kiwifruit had already spread out and climbed up the scaffolding, which grew well. Approaching, but see a long black plastic pipe separated from the pipe at the ground, extending longitudinally along the top of the scaffolding pile until the other end of the field, and each plastic pipe will be divided at intervals. A thinner branch is placed down, near the rhizome of the kiwifruit, with a nozzle at the end.

"When the water comes in, under the action of water pressure, these nozzles will be opened, and the mist will be sprayed out to form a circle, which will be directly irrigated at the roots." Tang Tianwen said that such sprinkler irrigation technology can be "guided". Accurate irrigation not only ensures effective irrigation during drought, but also saves water. At the same time, the irrigation efficiency is still very high. “One time sprinkler irrigation is 50 mu, and it takes about one hour to use 1000 hours. 1000% of the cost is high. ?"

In order to ensure that the sprinkler water is not evaporated quickly under the scorching sun, Fuqiang Modern Agriculture Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative specializes in planting green manure crops such as hazelnuts in the kiwifruit garden. "In this way, it not only retains moisture, but also moisturizes the soil, and can also be used as a green manure to increase soil organic matter. It can be described as two things." Tang Tianwen introduced.

Another highlight of this new irrigation technology is the integration of “water, fertilizer and medicine”.

In the standardized computer room of the Kiwifruit Park, the reporter saw that the motor, water pump, frequency conversion integrated control cabinet, swirling water sand separator, screen filter and other equipment are all available; next to the machine room, there are two 120 cubic meters of sedimentation tanks. A 30 cubic meter fertiliser pool. The sedimentation tank is used to precipitate groundwater pumped from a deep well, and the fertilization tank is used to apply functional flushing. "The different waters of the two pools can be mixed according to a certain proportion, and then transported from the main network to the plantation park through the pumping station of the engine room to carry out integrated irrigation of water and fertilizer." Tang Tianwen introduced.

With clear understanding of the principle, the reporter has a deeper understanding of this new irrigation technology in saving water, especially in reducing labor costs. "According to the traditional artificial fertilization method, 1000 acres will be roughly calculated. The light labor will cost 20 million yuan. This is only the cost of fertilizing once a year. Now, with only one person less than one day, the labor cost is greatly reduced. For this, Tang Tianwen obviously has a deeper feeling.
