Xinjiang Zijing Chuansuo LED Plant Factory produces 8-10 tons of forage per day

In the forage workshop of Xinjiang Zijing Chuansuo High-tech Agriculture Co., Ltd., dozens of indicators in the smart grass planting box can be monitored and adjusted in real time through a control cabinet or a computer, or even a mobile phone.

At 12 noon, in the forage workshop of Xinjiang Zijing Chuansuo High-tech Agriculture Co., Ltd., a batch of mature forage is about to be put on the market. The person in charge of the company told reporters that here, synthetic biology technology is used to combine conditions such as light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and various nutrients for plant growth, integrating hardware development, formula technology, information technology, etc. to form a system technology for precision cultivation, which can produce the terminal plant products needed by people.

Zhang Shize, general manager of Xinjiang Zijing Chuansuo High-tech Agriculture Co., Ltd., said: "This is the control area of our smart grass planting box. The core of the control area is the intelligent control equipment. First, it integrates all the light, electricity, water, gas and fertilizer control required by the smart grass planting box into its system; second, it records, tracks and manages the production process; third, it plays a role in background data integration and export. On the basis of such a platform, we can achieve full-time, efficient and stable quality control of smart grass planting."

What are the specific indicators of smart grass planting box control and how are they achieved?

Zhang Shize, general manager of Xinjiang Zijing Chuansuo High-tech Agriculture Co., Ltd., introduced that there are about 1,000 probes in total inside the grass planting box. These 1,000 probes can be roughly divided into six categories, including the monitoring of light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and other nutrients. Through the integration and feedback of these data, we can accurately understand the changes in all environmental conditions and growth conditions during the plant growth process. In addition to the control area, multi-platform linkage monitoring can be realized simultaneously on personal computers and mobile phones.

Zhang Shize said that each planting box is the size of a 45-foot-long shipping container, with a total of about 168 square meters of multi-layer planting area inside. There are 7 forage planting boxes in the workshop for continuous production, which can produce 8 to 10 tons of forage every day. It can guarantee a daily supply of fresh forage for 3,000 fattening sheep.

In addition to forage, Xinjiang Zijing Chuansuo High-tech Agriculture Co., Ltd. also produces vegetables, cordyceps militaris and other products. Fresh vegetables and forage are produced 365 days a year. An intelligent LED plant factory covering an area of 1 mu has been built in Qinggeda Lake Township, Urumqi High-tech Zone (Xinshi District). The company supplies 200 kilograms of wash-free and ready-to-eat vegetables to 13 supermarkets in Urumqi City and Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture every day.

Liu Zhentao, director of the production department of Xinjiang Zijing Chuansuo High-tech Agriculture Co., Ltd., said: "Our intelligent LED plant factory mainly grows two categories, cruciferous and leaf lettuce, with a total of eight to ten varieties. We use artificial light source LED lights to replace sunlight, multi-layer three-dimensional planting mode, hydroponic cultivation, and then use fresh air air conditioning, humidification system, actual control, etc. to control the temperature, light, and nutrient solution required for plant growth."

The factory production of vegetables and forage solves the problems of intensive land use, resource conservation, and rigid industrial demand. It is estimated that the production capacity of the company's vegetable plant factory is equivalent to the production capacity of 60 acres of land, and the production capacity of the forage plant factory is equivalent to the production capacity of 2,000 acres of land. The company takes scientific and technological innovation as the main line, forms independent intellectual property rights in hardware development, fermentation technology, formulation technology, etc., obtains more than 70 patent authorizations, software copyright registrations, etc., and promotes the continuous growth of the company's operating income.
