Wuming District, Nanning City, Guangxi Province is one of the important production areas for citrus and sugarcane in China. With the continuous development of characteristic industries such as citrus and sugarcane, more and more growers are starting to think about how to enhance land value, make output more efficient, stable, and sustainable.
With the original intention of empowering agricultural development with technology, on August 5th, the Jifei Technology New Farmer Conference was held at the Guangxi Station in Wuming District, Nanning City.
Industry experts, agricultural service providers, and farmer representatives gathered to share industry trends, planting management experience, and smart agriculture practices, jointly exploring new paths for the integration of technology and agriculture.
On site New Farmers' Conference
The "New Farmer Conference" is a technology exchange platform created by Jifei Technology for global agricultural producers. Through technology sharing, product demonstrations, experience exchanges, and other forms, we hope to bring more practical smart agriculture solutions to the fields, help improve agricultural quality and efficiency, and truly serve production with technology.
Maintain the quality of Wogan oranges
Let refined management enter the orchard
Wuming has a warm and humid climate, abundant sunshine, and abundant rainfall, which results in a high sugar to acid ratio, sufficient moisture content, and high slag removal rate in the fruit. With excellent quality, it gradually opens up the market and has obtained certification as a Chinese geographical indication trademark.
With the expansion of the industry scale, the cultivation of Valencia oranges has also entered a new stage. The soil changes, declining tree vigor, and extensive management caused by long-term planting are affecting the production performance of orchards.
At the same time, market competition is intensifying, and consumers are demanding higher quality, further widening the value gap between high-quality fruits and ordinary fruits. Costs are difficult to reduce, prices are being suppressed, and farmers' profit margins are becoming increasingly narrow.
Li Kaifeng, Vice President of Jifei Technology, shared that the industry is in a stage of adjustment, and farmers need to re-examine their production methods and development strategies. The competition in the future citrus industry is not just about output, but also about quality and sustainable management ability.

Once the origin and variety are determined, it is difficult to change, so the integration of water and fertilizer becomes the core variable for optimizing quality.
Jifei Intelligent Water and Fertilizer Management System utilizes intelligent electric valves, intelligent fertilizer dissolving machines, and farm intelligence
controllerThrough collaborative operations, automated intelligent drip irrigation can be achieved, with precise control of fruit sugar acid ratio and dry matter content. This not only improves taste but also reduces fertilizer costs, providing a basis for management and solving the dilemma of difficult yield improvement and quality control.
If water and fertilizer integration is an addition to promote quality, automated plant protection management is a subtraction for disease and pest control. The threat of pests, diseases, and weeds can often change the fate of a season's crops within a few days, and plant protection has gradually shifted from "seasonal work" to "high-frequency management work".
To cope with this transformation, relying on manpower is becoming increasingly difficult, and lightweight, low-cost, labor-saving, and worry free solutions have become essential.

robotWithout the need for manual intervention, it achieves full process automation of operations, including automatic dispensing, dosing, charging, and cleaning. It can solve the problem of night work, ensure the quality of spraying, reduce dependence on manpower, and effectively respond to sudden pest and disease risks. The all-weather and high-frequency automated plant protection capability is just suitable for orchard scenes with scarce manpower and complex terrain.
When refined management enters orchards, farmers are liberated from heavy labor, and the high-quality development of the citrus industry also has new technological support.
Returning to the sugarcane fields
Re understanding planting with technology
Making sugarcane planting more worry free and easier to manage is a direction that many farmers are looking for.
Huang Ting is one of them. Started planting sugarcane at the age of 16, left his hometown at the age of 21, and successively ventured into the fields of maintenance, programming, and self media related to agriculture, rural areas, and farmers.
The experience of a programmer taught him how to break down problems and create self media, which helped him better understand farmers. With a more systematic mindset, Huang Ting returned to the sugarcane field, hoping to use technology to re understand planting.
Initially, Huang Ting managed 40 acres of sugarcane fields. To improve production efficiency, he tried to improve soil, build roads, introduce mechanized equipment, and even make his own tools. Labor input has decreased, but production has not shown any improvement.
The problem lies in the supply of water and fertilizer. Traditional fertilization relies on rainfall dissolution, and the water and fertilizer ratio is difficult to stabilize, directly affecting nutrient absorption.
To improve water and fertilizer utilization efficiency, Huang Ting attempted to dissolve fertilizers in water and directly pour them onto the roots of sugarcane, achieving the first breakthrough in yield per mu. But this simple water and fertilizer method is more suitable for small-scale planting. Once the area expands, the cost of manual operation and management increases, making it difficult to support large-scale production.

In the process of finding a solution, Huang Ting introduced the Jifei Intelligent Water and Fertilizer Management System to manage farmland in a digital way, achieving a leap from "people running around the ground" to "systems running around tasks".
Artificial irrigation requires round trip mountain patrols and individual switching of control measures, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; After connecting intelligent valves and farm intelligent controllers, complex water and fertilizer management can be integrated into one system, allowing remote valve control, autonomous wheel irrigation, and scheduled operations to be completed with just one click. The system will also provide on-demand water supply and precise fertilization according to crop needs, allowing nutrients to directly reach the sugarcane roots and ensure yield and quality from the source.
From intelligent valves, solar power supply, farm intelligent managers, to agricultural service apps, Jifei connects field equipment, production tasks, and management data, making every irrigation and operation recorded and traceable. Huang Ting's previous planting method based on experience and memory has transformed into a standardized and traceable digital management model.
Leaving the land and rooting again, Huang Ting witnessed the power of technology to improve efficiency, and also allowed more young people to see new possibilities on the land.
Rooted in the orchard
Integrating intelligence into daily production
After 8 years of deep cultivation in smart agriculture, Wu Hualing has built a localized agricultural service team in Guangxi and is also a partner of Jifei.
After years of visiting fields, she found that many people's understanding of smart agriculture still remains at the level of "buying equipment and using machines". But farm management is not as simple as spraying pesticides and watering several times. Water, fertilizer, pesticides, inspections and other links are interrelated and affect each other. What farmers really need is a set of management methods that can connect production processes and adapt to different land conditions.
Huamei Technology Manager Wu Hualing Shares Experience in Leveraging Local Agricultural Services to Improve Planting Management Efficiency
The service philosophy of the Wu Hualing team is not about the number of branches, but about providing local services that better understand fruit farmers.
They have long been involved in the front line of orchards, from land survey and scheme design to equipment deployment and continuous tracking services. Tailored to local conditions, they transform complex cutting-edge technologies into a methodology that farmers can understand and use. They adapt Jifei agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles and intelligent farm IoT products to different scenarios, integrating integrated solutions into daily production.
Under a comprehensive service system, smart agriculture is no longer just a concept, but a visible and useful productivity.
After introducing the Jifei agricultural unmanned aerial vehicle and combining it with local guidance from the Wu Hualing team, some farmers not only bid farewell to the traditional inefficient mode, but also solved the problem of "difficult to hire people and high cost". Spraying, broadcasting, and aerial surveying can be easily completed with just one mobile phone.
Starting from the actual needs of a piece of land and establishing a set of farm management methods, Jifei continuously approaches the real needs of planting, allowing intelligent management to enter more operational scenarios and achieve quality and efficiency improvement throughout the entire agricultural production chain.
