Hunan Taoyuan County builds an intelligent fertilizer distribution network

Hunan Province, Taoyuan County, Yancheng Town Yangjiaxiang Village, a large grain farmer, said that in the early morning, he came to Mutang Township, “Yinmutang intelligent terminal soil testing formula with fertilizer and fertilizer service point”, specifically for him 45 acres. Late rice field with fertilizer. I only saw the operator's skill to open the touch screen computer, and then click the information query button to query the target soil soil nutrient information, then check the late rice, tillering period, transplanting and other items, the display immediately shows the glutinous rice fertilizer required for the next night The quantity and fertilization program, and finally press the fertilizer confirmation button. In less than half an hour, 500 pounds of formula fertilizer was formulated, and a price list of single fertilizers and a fertilizer recommendation sheet were printed. The euphemistically surprised said: "It is God, seeing a doctor, prescribing prescriptions, taking drugs, and providing fertility tracking services. We have a basis for farming."

This is Taoyuan County's first intelligent terminal soil testing formulation and fertilizer supply service point, in the individualized service for the fertilizer-demanding objects. According to Yu Zhilong, the person in charge of the fertilizer distribution network, since the formation on June 10, they have provided personalized fertilizer for 29 crops, 60 science and technology demonstration households, and 5 farmer professional cooperative organizations providing a total of 2,000 mu of crops. service.

For the farmers to pursue yield, long-term partial application, single application, excessive application of chemical fertilizers, the formation of a vicious cycle of soil “acidification → decline in crop nutrients absorption capacity → multiple application of chemical fertilizers → acidification”, not only the growth of crop output is difficult to sustain, the quality of agricultural products is also difficult to obtain Protection. In 2005, the Ministry of Agriculture initiated the soil testing and formulating fertilization project in the country. The core of the project is to find out what the crop lacks, how much it needs to make up, and to ensure a balanced supply of nutrients. In accordance with the unified deployment of the Ministry of Agriculture and Hunan Province, Taoyuan, a national grain and cotton oil base county, has actively promoted soil testing and fertilizer application. From 2005 to the first half of 2012, the proportion of formula fertilizers in the county has rapidly increased, and formula fertilizer consumption accounts for fertilizers. The proportion increased from 19.4% in 2005 to 45% in 2012. The total area of ​​formula fertilizer in the county has reached 10.8 million mu, and the total amount of formula fertilizer has reached 207,000 tons. In the first half of 2012, the area of ​​soil testing and fertilizer application in the county reached 1.017 million mu, which accounted for 58.4% of the total sown area of ​​crops, and applied more than 24,000 tons of formula fertilizer. According to Peng Aili, director of the County Agriculture Bureau, Taoyuan County plans to promote formula fertilizer area and total application amount to more than 70% within three years.

Due to the farmers' limited understanding of soil testing and formula fertilization, the contradiction between large-scale production of enterprises and small batches of formula fertilizer, and lack of technical strength at the grassroots level, the problem of household soil fertigation and fertilizer application is still outstanding, and the target task and modern agricultural development are still outstanding. There is a certain gap in the trend. In order to expand the scope of application of formula fertilizers, this year, Taoyuan County draws on advanced experience from inside and outside the province, boldly innovates, and supports the “Hunan Province Yinmutang Cotton Cooperative” in Mutang Township to establish an intelligent terminal soil testing formulation and fertilizer supply service network. The formula fertilization expert consultation system integrates the development of the soil fertilizer technology department, the fertilizer production enterprise fertilizer distribution, and the farmer's purchase of fertilizers to carry out pilot trials of intelligent personalized services. The soil types, crop needs, and farmers' needs really make it A field formula, a bag of a fertilizer processing." Peng Aili said that through pilots, it plans to build an intelligent terminal distribution fertilizer supply network in the towns and villages of grain, cotton, tea, tea and citrus production in the county within three years, so that farmers can enjoy the benefits they can see and feel, thus promoting soil testing and fertilizer application Popular applications.

According to experts from the soil and fertilizer industry, the intelligent terminal soil testing and formulating fertilizer supply model was developed through the development of an “intelligent terminal formula fertilization technology expert system” to link the agricultural authorities, fertilizer companies and intelligent terminal fertilizer professional service networks. The Soil and Fertilizer Technical Management Department provides soil testing and fertilizer application techniques and establishes traceability systems for formula fertilizers and quality management. Fertilizer companies are responsible for equipment maintenance and data transmission. Fertilizer professional service outlets are application terminals that directly face users. When farmers need formula fertilizer, terminal outlets use system information, field soil testing, formulas, fertilizer distribution, and fertilizer supply to provide fertilizer guidance services.

The characteristics of the intelligent terminal soil testing formulation and fertilizer supply is that the fertilization and fertilizer supply is targeted, accurate, and maneuverable, and it is easier for farmers to accept it than regionally formulated fertilization with “large formula and small adjustment”. The preparation process can reduce waste, reduce pollution, and significantly increase efficiency. It is estimated that, compared with farmers' fertilization habits, intelligent terminal soil testing and formula fertilization, rice acres cost savings of 15 yuan, an increase of 15% to 20%, the average annual savings of 64.7 yuan.
