Problems and countermeasures on the development of precision agriculture in heilongjiang province

Abstract

The present development of precision agriculture is at the lower stage in Heilongjiang province, but it has taken effect in aspects of demonstration and extension. However there are many problems in the technology research and application, such as technology development lags, the key techniques supporting lags, the lack of "3S" technology service for agricultural application with independent intellectual property, the whole poor production conditions caused by the limited resource and the man-land conflict, the lacks of the agricultural funds and the higher level scientific researchers, the application difficulties between technique equipments of the high-tech content and the low cultural level of rural human resources, the inconvenient using of multi-function agricultural equipments for the dispersed land and complex landform and so on. The above problems have limited the development of precision agriculture seriously in Heilongjiang province. Therefore, we should take the effective ways as soon as possible, depend on the existing experiences, techniques and equipments, and put forward the development strategy in accordance with regional condition to speed up the development of precision agriculture. There are many concrete countermeasures such as using demonstration experiences and production research results at home and abroad, introducing technique idea and partial equipments technique to promote independent innovation, proceeding demonstration experiments in the area with suitable conditions to spread of the idea of "precision agriculture", supporting the sustainable development of agriculture by new techniques and new equipments, enhancing communication and cooperation between department and subject, emphasizing the research of application basis, increasing th'e related course of precision agriculture such as GPS, GIS, RS and sensor technique and so on in colleges and universities, especially in agricultural universities, enhancing the development and application of computer and internet in the agricultural field, and so on. © 2010 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
