Ulanqab tomato cultivation has the blessing of "wisdom"

In late autumn, the chill is already thick, stepping into the intelligent greenhouse of Ulanqab Hongfu Modern Agricultural Industrial Park, a warm current rushes
in.
The unstoppable greenery spreads out in front of you, and under the layers of green leaves, small tomatoes that are bright red or tender yellow or emerald green hang from the vines like strings of pearls and hang from the hangers used for soilless cultivation.

"The park produces 40 tons of tomatoes a day, and it can be delivered to supermarkets in Beijing the same day
.
" Yuan Wei, the park's production manager, told reporters, "Don't underestimate this greenhouse, precise water and fertilizer control, bumblebee pollination, biological control, soilless cultivation and drinking water irrigation, etc.
, these 'cutting-edge' planting technologies that I have never heard of before are all used here!" ”

While speaking, Yuan Wei pressed the electric button
of the door of another greenhouse.
The door opens, and on the track between the rows of hangers, Zhang Liqing, a staff member, skillfully drives a mechanical work vehicle to prune branches and leaves and pick
fruits.

"The tomatoes in the greenhouse only grow for two months after planting, and then they enter the production period, and the right temperature is an important condition
to ensure the year-round output.
" Yuan Wei told reporters that the winter in Ulanqab is very long, and heating is a problem
.

What should I do if the traditional heating method has high cost and high energy consumption?

During the inspection, the staff of the park found that if the excess heat generated by local industrial enterprises in production could be utilized, wouldn't it be a good thing? In that case, the greenhouses in the park are not only smart, but also low-carbon
.
Therefore, under the coordination of the local government, the park launched a comprehensive utilization project
of industrial waste heat.

"You see, the heat of this track used for insulation in winter comes from a metallurgical enterprise
10 kilometers away.
" Yuan Wei said that the industrial water of metallurgical production enterprises needs to be cooled, the greenhouses of the industrial park need to be insulated, and under the premise of realizing the interconnection of the heating pipe network, the comprehensive utilization of industrial waste heat has achieved "each taking its own needs", which solves 80% of the park's winter heating demand
.

"Not only that, but the greenhouse is full of sensors
.
" Pointing to the white square box hanging next to the track, Yuan Wei said that it can simultaneously monitor
environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide in real time.

With these data, real-time adjustment of greenhouse environmental control and water and fertilizer irrigation can be realized, and plant growth is better guaranteed
.
Zhang Xuefang, a technician in the park, told reporters that the tomato planting blessed by "wisdom" is not only controllable "warm, light, water, gas and fertilizer", but also has a better production capacity, and large tomatoes can be harvested about 60 kilograms per square meter, which is nearly 10 times
higher than the traditional solar greenhouse.

While producing more, the industrial park is also benefiting more surrounding farmers
.
"Today, the industrial park has invested in the construction of processing and packaging workshops by transferring land and integrating village collective funds, so that local farmers have both rental income and investment income
.
" Yuan Wei said that the park has hired more than 200 local farmers, and there are more ways
for everyone to increase their income and become rich.
