Cotton is the main cash crop in Bozhou, the dominant industry in Bozhou, and the main cash crop for increasing farmers' income. In recent years, Bozhou has focused on smart agriculture, relying on leading enterprises to build a number of rural revitalization smart agriculture demonstration bases, and focused on improving the level of modernization, intelligence and informatization of cotton production to help improve the quality and efficiency of the cotton industry.

On May 29, the reporter came to the 940 mu intelligent agricultural production base in Mordun Township, Beilin Hari, Bole City, and saw that the water and fertilizer integrated intelligent system made scientific allocation based on the soil measurement data, soil moisture, water consumption and other environmental data of cotton fields, determined the time of irrigation and fertilization, and realized the digital fertilizer applicator, digital ball valve The digital electric valve is remotely and automatically controlled, so as to realize intelligent field management of irrigation and fertilization, save labor, improve quality and efficiency. In addition, the digital fertilizer applicator can fully crush and mix granular and powdered fertilizers according to demand, improving fertilizer solubility and absorption and utilization rate, and further increasing the types of fertilizers selected by farmers.

Through digital precision irrigation and fertilization technology, labor efficiency is greatly improved, labor force is reduced, and cost is saved. According to the estimation of technical experts and farmers, 15% of water can be saved for farmland every year, 20 yuan/mu of water fee can be saved, 50 yuan/mu of labor can be saved, 30 kg/mu of seed cotton output can be increased, and 290 yuan/mu of benefits can be increased. At the same time, digital farmland management tools enable people to easily plant, increase production and income.

In 2022, the intelligent fertilization system in Bozhou will cover an area of 300000 mu, and the promotion area of water fertilizer integrated intelligent irrigation system will be 5600 mu. In 2023, Bozhou will continue to expand the construction scale of smart cotton fields, providing strong support for Bozhou to promote the rural revitalization strategy, build the whole cotton industry chain, and improve the competitiveness of cotton market.
