County in Linyi explores smart agricultural paths

Thirteen vegetable bases in Lanling county in Linyi city, East China's Shandong province, have already embraced smart production techniques.

In the county's Lyuwochuan air strawberry base, suspended planting has been used to increase the planting density for strawberries. By adopting this measure, the yield per mu (1 mu = 0.07 hectare) has now grown to an additional 2,000 to 4,000 kilograms above the traditional yield.

Meanwhile, intelligent tools like automated seeding and seedling transfer equipment have been used in the Lyuwochuan hydroponic vegetable production workshop.

By adopting the "internet of things+" model, remote control, accurate environmental regulation, and real-time data monitoring can be realized to guarantee high-quality fruits and vegetables are produced.

In recent years, Lanling county has launched the Kenyuan smart agricultural park, the Baimeng cooperative and other models to play demonstrative roles.

With smart equipment now comprising 63 percent of all the agricultural technology used in the county, Lanling's smart agriculture has embarked on a development path that can be referenced, replicated, and widely applied. (Edited by Chen Chuxuan)
