The vegetable base of Danong (Suzhou) Agricultural Technology utilizes a water-fertilizer integrated irrigation system, in which pure water and a properly proportioned nutrient solution are continuously pumped through pipes beneath the vegetables, providing nutrients year-round in a pesticide-free environment. This approach increases agricultural output and ensures that vegetables are free from heavy metals.
Leveraging big data, internet of things, artificial intelligence, and other technologies, Changyinsha agricultural park has established a smart service platform. Real-time agricultural data, including weather and pests, are collected, summarized, and analyzed on the platform. The insights are then delivered to farmers via mobile phones, guiding them to take appropriate agricultural actions.
