Project Overview

This project is implemented on the 100mu riceplanting base in the Hengxi Area of Xitian Company, serving largescale rice production and the standardized development of green agriculture within the rural complex.

Current Problems Traditional manual management is still adopted for paddyfield cultivation. Field patrols for water inspection, manual gate operation for flow control and empirically estimated irrigation volume result in extensive management practices. Issues including uneven irrigation, imbalanced waterfertilizer ratio and water resource waste persist. Furthermore, water demands at different rice growth stages cannot be precisely met, which tends to cause uneven rice growth and restrict stable yield improvement as well as energy conservation and carbon reduction benefits of farmland.

Cause Analysis Digital and intelligent agricultural management remains insufficient. Without intelligent monitoring and control equipment, core field agricultural data such as water level, temperature and humidity cannot be collected in real time. Irrigation and waterfertilizer management rely entirely on human experience without data support, leading to low control accuracy and efficiency.

Improvement Objectives In cooperation with Zhongsu Technology, the Company will upgrade and renovate paddyfield facilities and deploy a full set of intelligent control equipment together with field weather stations to realize realtime collection of agricultural data, automatic waterlevel regulation and precise supply of water and fertilizer. It will thoroughly transform the traditional extensive cultivation mode, conserve water and reduce consumption, and resolve irrigation imbalance. Stable rice yield and quality improvement together with cost reduction and efficiency gain will be achieved, building a standardized and digital demonstration zone for smart paddy fields.

项目背景

本项目落地于溪田公司横溪片区100亩水稻种植基地，服务于片区规模化水稻种植生产、田园综合体绿色农业标准化建设工作。

问题现状：水田种植沿用传统人工管护模式，依赖人工巡查看水、守闸控流、经验估量灌溉水量，管护方式较为粗放。存在灌溉水量不均、水肥配比失衡、水资源浪费等问题，同时无法精准适配水稻不同生长阶段的用水需求，易导致水稻长势不均，制约农田稳产提质与节能降碳成效。

原因分析：农事管理数字化、智能化水平不足，无智能监测与管控设备，无法实时采集田间水位、温湿度等核心农事数据，灌溉、水肥管理缺乏数据支撑，全凭人工经验操作，管控精度与效率偏低。

改进目标：公司联合中苏科技升级改造水田设施，布设全套智能管控设备及田间气象站，实现农事数据实时采集、水位自动调控、水肥精准供给。彻底革新传统粗放种植模式，节水降耗、解决灌溉失衡问题，实现水稻稳产提质、降本增效，打造标准化、数字化智慧水田示范片区。

Project Implementation

The 100Mu Intelligent Upgrading and Renovation Project for Paddy Fields in the Hengxi Area of Xitian Company is jointly implemented by Nanjing Xitian Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. and Zhongsu Technology. Centering on solving the pain points of extensive management in traditional paddyfield farming and establishing a digital smart agricultural system, the project has successfully completed intelligent renovation and system commissioning for the whole paddyfield area through multiparty resource coordination, phased milestone advancement, technical and equipment upgrading, and onsite precise management and control. It has delivered sound outcomes for green agricultural development featuring watersaving, consumption reduction, cost cutting and efficiency improvement in farmland.

To address low efficiency and insufficient precision of conventional manual management, a special working group was set up for the project. Xitian Company coordinates project implementation, site coordination and connection with agricultural operation, while Zhongsu Technology undertakes the delivery of technical solutions as well as equipment installation and commissioning. Automatic water valves, intelligent sluice gates, highprecision water level monitors and intelligent flow control devices have been fully deployed, together with supporting smallscale field weather stations, forming an allround field perception system. Replacing the traditional mode of manual field inspection, gate watching and empirical estimation, it realizes the shift of agricultural management from experiencedriven to datadriven operation.

To tackle the lack of field data and the absence of scientific basis for waterfertilizer irrigation, the technical team has built an intelligent data linkage system. Core agricultural data including field water level, irrigation flow, ambient temperature and humidity, illumination and precipitation are collected in real time by various terminal devices to form a dynamic field database. Supported by data algorithms matching waterfertilizer requirements for rice at different growth stages, automatic waterlevel regulation, precise irrigation metering and ondemand waterfertilizer supply are achieved, thoroughly resolving prominent problems such as uneven irrigation, imbalanced waterfertilizer ratio and resource waste.

In response to aging original farmland facilities and weak intelligent foundation, the project has invested special hardware and technical resources to inspect, clear out and replace outdated irrigation facilities. Standardized intelligent control equipment is deployed in a unified manner, field pipenetwork layout is optimized, and a digital managementandcontrol platform is constructed. Meanwhile, special training is provided for frontline agricultural practitioners covering practical skills including intelligent equipment operation, data checking and system maintenance, so as to enhance the team’s capability in smartagriculture operation.

Aiming at insufficient standardization and demonstration effect of farmland, the project builds a standardized smart paddyfield demonstration model based on the renovated area. It sorts out and forms intelligent agricultural management workflows, establishes regular mechanisms for equipment inspection, data monitoring and maintenance, and continuously optimizes field operation modes. Through systematic renovation and refined operation, water resource consumption and manual management costs are effectively reduced, and rice quality and output are steadily improved. A replicable and promotable digital, green smart paddyfield demonstration zone has been successfully built, contributing to the highquality, green and lowcarbon development of regional modern agriculture.

Project Outcome

Centered on digitalization and green development, the project thoroughly transforms the traditional extensive management mode of paddy fields and delivers refined agricultural management and efficient planting and production. It has achieved remarkable results with outstanding innovations, boasting sound sustainability and promotion value.

Marked contrasts are observed before and after project implementation. Prior to renovation, paddyfield irrigation relied on onsite manual duty and experiencebased management, resulting in problems such as water resource waste, uneven irrigation, imbalanced waterfertilizer ratio, high labor costs and low management efficiency, while agricultural operations lacked data support. After renovation, intelligent monitoring devices work in tandem with field weather stations to collect realtime field environmental data. Automatic waterlevel regulation, precise irrigation metering and ondemand waterfertilizer supply are realized, which effectively saves water resources and cuts manual operationandmaintenance costs. The system accurately meets rice growth requirements, achieves stable yield and quality improvement as well as cost reduction and efficiency gain, and greatly raises the standardization and green management level of farmland.

The project features several innovative highlights. Technologically, it integrates sensor monitoring, intelligent control and bigdata technologies to build a wholeprocess smart paddyfield managementandcontrol system, overcoming the drawbacks of conventional experienceoriented planting. In terms of collaboration, indepth cooperation between the stateowned agricultural platform and technology enterprises enables accurate integration of agricultural scenarios and intelligent technologies. In terms of model innovation, a closedloop smart agricultural management mode of “data collection — intelligent analysis — precise management — regular operation and maintenance” has been established.

The project enjoys strong sustainability and replicability. A longterm operation mechanism featuring regular equipment inspection, dynamic data monitoring and routine onstaff maintenance has been put in place to guarantee longterm stable system operation. Standardized and proceduralized, the complete renovation solution is applicable to largescale riceplanting scenarios. It can be rapidly replicated and extended to other farmland areas within the park, serving as a highquality demonstration sample for the development of regional green smart agriculture.
