Drones help loquat transport traditional agriculture ushered in new quality productivity
It is time to taste delicious loquat again. The varieties of Suzhou white jade loquat, which have been followed for thousands of years, are delicate in meat and sweet in taste, and are known as the treasures of loquat. However, loquat has a short storage time and is susceptible to collision damage, which puts forward high requirements on transportation timeliness and preservation conditions. How to transport fresh and high-quality loquat to businesses has become a difficult problem faced by farmers.
Recently, Suzhou Haisen Drone, a company located in the functional area of Taihu Science City, has provided an innovative solution for local farmers. The company uses drone to accurately fly the full load of loquat from Gongshan Island orchard to Suzhou Zhenhu Green Food Development Co., LTD., "point-to-point" fast delivery, so that the original 45 minutes of travel, only 10 minutes to quickly complete, greatly shortening the delivery time, to ensure that loquat fresh and sweet.
Suzhou Zhenhu Green Food Development Co., Ltd. staff said that in the high-tech zone Gongshan Island green food company planted a total of more than 1,100 loquat trees, the annual output is about 30,000 pounds. In previous years, after the fruit farmers picked, the loquat was transported from the orchard to Gongshan dock by artificial or tricycle, and then transported to the opposite dock by ferry, and finally drove a tricycle from Gongshan dock to Suzhou Zhenhu Green Food Development Co., LTD., the whole route is about 5.4 kilometers, and the transportation is about 45 minutes, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
This year, Suzhou high-tech zone to seize low-altitude economic development opportunities, explore the "drone transport + door-to-door delivery" model, the attempt to reduce the intermediate links, for farmers to open a broader market door, to maximize the benefits, as a typical case of low-altitude economic application in the Taihu Science City functional area.
In addition to the traditional agricultural field, the application platform of drones has expanded to environmental protection, security and other aspects, can efficiently and accurately carry out pollution traceability, routine monitoring, atmospheric patrol and other tasks, not only can play an important role in biodiversity investigation, water environment management and atmospheric environment monitoring. It can also provide strong support in data application, safety production monitoring, emergency sampling and so on. It is understood that at present, the UAV carries out a large area of water data collection, and can obtain ammonia nitrogen, chlorophyllin A, suspended matter, turbidity, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and other parameters through inversion, which provides a new data source and technical means for surface water quality monitoring and Marine water environment research, and effectively supports water environment protection and management.
At present, the functional area of Taihu Science City is implementing a high-standard farmland project, which will use drones to fertilize and apply medicine, etc., to achieve modern agriculture "no one" and create smart farmland. Up to now, part of the farmland in Tongan District has been included in the construction project of Suzhou high-standard farmland transformation and upgrading demonstration Zone, and the Dongzhu District has built new roads, irrigation pipelines, and ecological ditches, adding "fertile soil and good fields" in the western part of the functional area. Give full play to the advantages of ecological background and build a "science city in rice fragrance". In the functional area of Taihu Science City, a hot land for innovation, the government, enterprises and scientific research institutions have formed a close cooperation network to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and the formation of an industrial chain, deeply integrating high-end technology and industry, and emerging a series of breakthrough technologies and products. Next, the functional area of Taihu Science City will continue to optimize the innovation ecology, build a new model of high-quality development that promotes technological progress and industrial upgrading, and occupy a more important position in the future map of new quality productivity.
