Chapter 610 [Bringing Agriculture into the Digital and Information Age]
Wednesday, August 22.
One of the teams of Qunxing Capital flew to Northwest Agricultural University for research and investigation.
Agriculture and Forestry University received the news, and also attached great importance to this, and the super big fund came to investigate and investigate, if it can get the recognition of Qunxing Capital to carry out cooperation, not only the school itself can get financial support, but also after the establishment of the project, it will definitely be able to promote the employment of school graduates.
The employment rate of college graduates is a very important assessment indicator for the school, and once there is cooperation with Qunxing Capital, the relevant institutions will definitely need professional talents.
Around 10 a.m., an indoor cultivation site on campus.
At this moment, the research team of Qunxing Capital is visiting the school's "soilless culture" experiment under the leadership of the school staff, which is a cultivation technology that uses other things containing essential elements for plant growth and development to cultivate plants without natural soil, so that plants can normally complete the whole life cycle.
Soilless cultivation can grow agricultural crops such as vegetables, flowers, fruits, tobacco leaves, etc.
“…… At present, we have carried out more than 10 kinds of soilless cultivation modes in the field of 'soilless culture', such as wall cultivation, pipeline cultivation, column cultivation, A-frame cultivation, aerosol cultivation, etc. A director of the school staff introduced to the person in charge of the research team of Qunxing Capital as he walked.
After a while, they came to a wall lined with PVC pipes and planted with some vegetation.
"This is wall cultivation, a cultivation mode that uses a combination of wall PVC pipes, and a substrate is placed in the PVC pipes for crop growth, which can be used as a partition wall, and also has the effect of beautifying the wall."
The person in charge of the project continued: "Using water as the main carrier for crop growth, and at the same time configuring nutrient solution to provide nutrients for crops to grow, according to the experimental report, the cultivation facilities of this model are closed, the thermal insulation is good, and the cultivation of pure hydroponics is very suitable for on-site direct picking and eating." ”
After visiting for a while, the school staff took the people of Qunxing Capital to the next pilot project to visit and introduced: "This is pipeline cultivation, which is a new type of hydroponic facility for soilless cultivation, which can adopt three-dimensional, tiling and other structures, and the experimental goal is to plant leafy vegetable crops, and the vegetables produced by this cultivation mode are clean, pollution-free, and can be directly picked and eaten." ”
Next, Qunxing Capital visited several other soilless cultivation models with the school staff, and the project project leaders on the school's side also took turns to introduce them, and the project leaders introduced them to a project experimental site.
"This is a column type cultivation, a plurality of pot-like cultivation troughs are installed on the pillars, and substrates are placed in them for cultivation, and the column cultivation can be planted with pollution-free strawberries, and the strawberries are distributed around the cultivation trough after hanging fruit, and it is also very convenient to pick, and it can also be eaten directly."
"We are here for A-frame cultivation, and its structure is A-shaped divisions, which is conducive to the lighting of crops and greatly facilitates the daily operation of the staff. The A-frame cultivation structure is flexible, and it can be reasonably matched according to different needs, and the vegetables suitable for cultivation are lettuce, lettuce, rape, strawberry, fungus, coriander and so on.
"We are engaged in aerosol cultivation, which is to spray the water mixed with the nutrient solution directly on the root system of the crop after high-pressure atomization, and the root system of the crop is directly suspended in the space of the cultivation container, and the root contact with the mist meets the conditions required for growth."
It took about an hour or so for the school staff to introduce all 13 soilless cultivation and planting models currently being carried out in the school to Qunxing Capital.
The content disclosed by Qunxing Capital this time has determined the direction of the company's development investment in the field of modern agricultural technology, and the soilless cultivation planting model is also the direction of the company's key investment, so the team came to this university for research and investigation.
The composition of the nutrient solution in soilless culture is easy to control and can be adjusted at any time. In places where there is no soil in the light and temperature, such as deserts, beaches, desert islands, etc., as long as there is a certain supply of fresh water.
At about 17 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Qunxing Capital reached a cooperation with Northwest Agricultural University to conduct larger-scale experiments on these 13 soilless cultivation and planting projects, and Qunxing Capital plans to invest a total of 150 million yuan to provide financial support for these 13 projects, of which the project with the least financial support is also 10 million.
The owner of the gold is the owner of the gold, and the wealth is as good as ever.
Northwest Agricultural University is also extremely excited, the key is not the 150 million, but once these 13 soilless cultivation projects can be confirmed to be able to get out of the laboratory, that is the real focus.
That model is feasible, and Qunxing Capital will invest a larger scale of funds in the future to popularize it on a large scale and form a large-scale soilless culture industry.
This is definitely exciting for the school, and it will not only become a major achievement for the school in the future, but also the graduates of the school will be able to export employment, thereby increasing the employment rate of college graduates.
In fact, for many people engaged in the agricultural field across the country, Qunxing Capital has received great attention when it enters this field.
The first phase is an investment of 30 billion, which is likely to be a 100 billion-level strategic investment of Qunxing Capital, in other words, what Qunxing Capital recognizes is likely to be the most favored by funds in the agricultural field and the most promising in the industry in the future.
For many university students, it is obvious that it will greatly affect their choice of major.
Soilless cultivation is just one of them.
In addition, "smart greenhouse" and "precision agriculture", two new modern agricultural planting models based on high technology, are really vigorously promoted by Qunxing Capital.
Intelligent greenhouse, that is, under the condition of a relatively controllable environment, the use of engineering and technical means to change the natural light and temperature conditions, create environmental factors that optimize the growth of animals and plants, and carry out efficient production of animals and plants.
According to the experimental data of some universities or scientific research institutions, this cultivation method is 3.5 times more productive than open cultivation.
This kind of smart greenhouse cultivation needs to be equipped with computer-controlled automation facilities such as automatic opening skylights, shading systems, insulation systems, heating systems, wet curtains, sprinkler or drip irrigation systems, mobile seedbeds, etc., to provide "smart" greenhouses for agriculture.
Another major model of precision agriculture, which is also supported by digital information technology, implements a complete set of modern agricultural operation technology and management systems according to spatial variation, positioning, timing and quantification.
According to the soil characteristics of crop growth, adjust the input to crops, that is, on the one hand, find out the spatial variation of soil properties and productivity in the field, on the other hand, determine the production target of crops, carry out systematic diagnosis, optimize formula, technical assembly, scientific management, mobilize soil productivity, carefully calculate the amount of fertilizer, water, pesticides, etc. required by crops, and achieve the same or higher income with the least amount of goods and the most saved input.
At the same time, it is also very conducive to environmental protection, efficient use of various agricultural resources, and economic and environmental benefits.
The model of precision agriculture is obviously moving towards intensive management, using modern technology to make the use of various raw materials reach a very accurate degree, and the operation can be carried out continuously like an industrial process, so as to achieve large-scale operation.
Domestic agriculture is also in a large industry, large market, large development of the industry, obviously, Qunxing capital into the field of agriculture is to bring agriculture into the era of digital and information technology.
