High tech keeps farms running amid epidemic

Modern technology has helped to ensure that agricultural production continues amid the
pneumonia outbreak.

Heilongjiang province in northeast China has invited 17 experts and 480 scientists to teach
farmers agricultural skills on growing soybean, rice, corn and so on via live broadcasts.

In Yutian county, Tangshan city of north China’s Hebei province, local agricultural cooperatives
have introduced an application that allows farmers to buy services such as cultivation and
management. They can also purchase agricultural supplies such as pesticides and fertilizers at low
prices and have them delivered directly to farms.

Intelligent agricultural machinery, such as automatic fertilizer distributors and unmanned
agricultural vehicles, has ensured the continuation of agricultural production amid the epidemic. In
Nanning, capital city of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, unmanned agricultural vehicles
helped local farmers plough and sow seeds on about 6.7 square kilometers of sugarcane land in
eight days.

Modern technology such as the Internet of Things and big data have also promoted intelligent
agriculture. The Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, has developed a smart management system that can dynamically monitor soil, water and
crop growth in fields and then send the information to farmers on their mobile phones.
