March is a good time to sow highland barley. At dawn in Shigatse, Tibet, Dawagala, a resident of Jianda Village, Lazi County, left the house and hurried to the party masses service center.
"Highland barley can be planted!" Seeing Dawagala from afar, the village branch secretary came forward with a big smile, "We have been monitoring soil nutrients and looking at the meteorological data in the village these days, and today is a good day."
How to observe the soil and weather in the village?
The reporter followed Kaizun into the Jianda Village Party Mass Service Center, and a large screen on the wall was particularly eye-catching. On the screen, farmland distribution, meteorological data, soil moisture, pest monitoring and other information are available. "This is the unified assembly of highland barley industry digital management system platform in the county, which was launched on March 16." Kaizun introduced that the platform can not only accurately record the yield per mu of highland barley in different farmland, pesticide and fertilizer consumption, green prevention and control expenditure and other changes, but also analyze agricultural machinery farming trajectory and operating efficiency, real-time monitor meteorological changes, and provide data support for highland barley production. "Now, the data has given us a good foundation," Kaizun said.
While chatting, Dawagala had driven the rotary tillage fertilizer planter to the field. When the reporter arrived, he was facing a screen in the cab and skillfully clicked. "Every agricultural machinery in the village is equipped with an intelligent digital agricultural machinery monitoring system, and this year the county also organized special operation training." The system used by Dawagala, which is connected to the platform in the party masses service center, can not only accurately report the situation of agricultural machinery operation site, but also set agricultural machinery operation parameters according to the cultivated land to improve the efficiency of field operations.
Lazi County is a famous granary in Tibet. In recent years, the local government has explored the use of digital and modern equipment and other high-tech means to carry out highland barley planting. "Digital means can be used for agricultural records to achieve vectorized management of cultivated land, real-time monitoring of agricultural conditions, visual operation of agricultural machinery, systematic assistance of agricultural technology, and tracking of the whole planting process." Ciren, secretary of the Party Leadership Group and director of the Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Lazi County, said that the traditional production mode of highland barley should be digitally transformed to reduce disaster risks, reduce costs, improve production and enhance quality, Ensure food security.
Grain production has been guaranteed, and growers have more choices. Dawagala family has 120 mu of arable land, which is a major grain grower in the village. "Our family's six labors had to stay in the field all year round in the past. Now with the digital system, we can take care of them." Dawagala said that other families go out to work and earn another income. Jianda Village has also set up a specialized agricultural machinery planting farmers' cooperative. Dawagala became a member of the cooperative and participated in the trusteeship services provided to the surrounding villages. It can also get more than 7000 yuan of salary every year. "Roughly, the family income last year exceeded 240000 yuan."
