On April 22nd, the New Farmers' Conference kicked off in Lingshui, Hainan, focusing on the intelligent transformation of orchard management. It gathered frontline planting representatives, agricultural technology experts, and benchmark farmers to conduct in-depth discussions on the precise management and maintenance of crops such as longan and pomegranate, providing a replicable and implementable intelligent upgrade path for orchards in Hainan and even across the country.
The "New Farmer Conference" is a technology empowerment platform created by Jifei Technology for global agricultural producers. We bring practical, efficient, and practical smart agriculture solutions to farmers through various forms such as cutting-edge technology sharing, product demonstration training, and planting experience exchange, helping to improve agricultural quality and efficiency, and reducing costs and increasing income for farmers.

Understand mountains and crops
To achieve precise water and fertilizer management
Hainan is the only tropical province in China with abundant sunlight and abundant fruit trees. butAt present, the core pain points of mountain orchard management are focused on the imbalance of water and fertilizer supply, and the untimely prevention and control of pests and diseases.
Mountain orchards generally face three natural shortcomings: high temperature and strong evaporation, acid and lean soil leakage, and slope runoff. High loss of water and nutrients; The special sloping moist front in mountainous areas can easily cause water and fertilizer differentiation problems such as uphill water shortage and downhill waterlogging. Traditional artificial water pressure regulation is extensive, resulting in severe differentiation between fruit quality and growth period. Once the critical window period for fruit tree fertilization, flower promotion, and fruit preservation is missed, remedial measures in the later stage often result in half the effort.
Hainan is prone to high temperatures and humidity throughout the year, with rapid outbreaks and rapid spread of pests and diseases. Any signs of disease or insect infestation require immediate prevention and control. But after the large-scale planting of orchards, the efficiency of manual operations has become difficult to keep up with the needs of management and protection; In addition, the local weather is unpredictable, and it is often necessary to seize the best time to apply pesticides in a timely manner after rain. However, during the busy farming season, there is a shortage of labor and high labor costs, which further restricts the improvement of orchard quality and income.
At the conference, Hu Zhiqiang, Product Manager of Drip Irrigation System at Jifei R&D Center, shared in-depth information on efficient water and fertilizer management and intelligent construction around mountainous orchards. He proposed that the core advantage of integrating water and fertilizer is to follow the growth laws of crops, supply water according to demand, accurately fertilize, and transport it to the root absorption zone through drip/sprinkler irrigation, improving absorption and utilization efficiency, and providing comprehensive support for tree growth and fruit development.

Faced with complex tropical terrain and planting pain points, the Jifei Intelligent Water and Fertilizer Management System is becoming a key breakthrough for reducing costs and increasing efficiency in sloping orchards. It can achieve remote one key control of valves, automatic rotation of wheel irrigation groups, built-in pressure ratio adjustment and memory algorithm, pipeline layout and pressure configuration customized for slope drop environments.
Combining multiple dimensions such as soil moisture, EC salinity, and field meteorologysensorThe Jifei intelligent water and fertilizer management system can monitor crop growth and water and fertilizer requirements in real time, and adjust irrigation and nutrition plans. At the same time, it automatically alerts for abnormal pressure and pipeline leakage, proactively avoids risks, and achieves precise, efficient, and low-cost water and fertilizer control through intelligent means.

In the key links of plant protection, flower promotion, and fruit preservation, Jifei Agricultural Drones, with the advantage of low altitude and high penetration operations, easily solve the problems of tree canopy closure and difficult penetration of medicinal liquids, effectively improving the flowering rate and fruit setting rate, and synchronously saving 10% to 20% of pesticide usage. Standardized intelligent operations make it easier to control the growth cycle and harvesting rhythm, stabilize and upgrade the quality of fruits, and help high-quality agricultural products to be launched at high prices.
Only by understanding mountainous terrain can we adapt to local conditions; Only by understanding crop habits can we implement policies according to needs. Jifei uses intelligent technology to adapt to tropical mountain scenes, empowering scientific planting with precise water and fertilizer, making every drop of water and every nutrient fully utilized, and efficiently serving crop growth.
From 'shoulder to hand' to 'mobile phone management'
Jifei empowers the intelligent upgrade of orchards
Cai Shujian has been deeply cultivating longan for twelve years and is a leading local longan grower in Baoting. The orchard is built along the mountain, with an overall height difference of nearly 100 meters. The uneven water pressure caused by the terrain drop has always been the biggest problem for irrigation.

In the past, more than 30 manual valves were scattered across various hills in the park, relying on him to patrol the mountains and manually switch control. A complete irrigation cycle takes 5 days, and the irrigation season lasts for half a year, with day and night on duty, running around and exhausting, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After connecting to the Jifei intelligent water and fertilizer management system, Cai Shujian completely bid farewell to the heavy labor of manually opening valves underground. With just one mobile phone, he can remotely control valves, irrigate zones, and schedule operations without having to travel back and forth to the mountains, greatly freeing up manpower and allowing him to free up more energy to manage other agricultural affairs in the park.
The irrigation status is displayed in real-time in the system backend, with automatic warnings for leaks and spills. The entire process is visible and controllable, and the water supply is stable and balanced, laying a solid foundation for the growth of thick, sweet, and crisp longan fruit flesh.

Huang Zhekai successfully explored a new path of tropical characteristic agriculture called "North Fruit South Migration", introducing the first tropical soft seed pomegranate "Danruo 1" in China to obtain the plant new variety right from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration to Hainan, reshaping the phenological law and achieving "one year of shoot and one year of flower".

In response to planting bottlenecks such as strong acidic soil, large differences in microclimate among plots, and difficulty in controlling prosperity during the rainy season in Hainan, the Huang Zhekai team has introduced the Jifei intelligent electric valve and Jifei injection typefertilizer applicatorBy monitoring soil moisture, real-time analysis of plot water pressure and retention capacity, automatic adjustment of irrigation duration and fertilization ratio, we have gradually overcome the problem of poor water and soil conditions for northern fruit trees landing in the tropics.

In the monitoring of pests and diseases and the control of nutritional growth during the rainy season, Jifei Agricultural Unmanned Vehicle and Agricultural Unmanned Aircraft cooperate to accurately identify pest and disease hazards and thriving areas, achieve targeted pesticide application and variable flight prevention, and effectively solve the agronomic bottleneck of low flower bud differentiation rate in tropical non dormant fruit trees.
From controlling shoots to promote flowering, thinning fruit management to mature harvesting, Jifei's full cycle smart agriculture plan has comprehensively improved the consistency and commercial fruit rate of orchards. At present, Huang Zhekai's pomegranate base has gradually entered the peak production period, with an expected yield of 3500 kilograms per mu.
