Automation gives farm a new piece on life

To build a base for cultivating new agricultural professional and technical talent, and drive the surrounding planting industry to save cost and increase efficiency, the park established industry-university-research cooperation with China Agricultural University, Huazhong Agricultural University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and introduced six masters, including Wang Yu.

After graduating from the College of Plant Protection at China Agricultural University, he started working in the park last year.

He has turned his knowledge of agricultural science and technology into practice, such as using aerial drones to patrol the fields and multi-spectral imaging to monitor the growth of plants on the farm.

He also used soil testing and formulation technology for precise fertilization to avoid land pollution caused by resource waste and overuse. He tried to use organic fertilizer and biological control technology to protect the soil and ecological environment.

"We cooperate with big companies and adopt modern agricultural techniques to help increase farmers' incomes," said Wu Di, president of Country Garden Agricultural Holdings. "Since its establishment，the park has provided over 30 job opportunities to local farmers and helped each of them increase their income."
