Smart Irrigation Innovations Transforming Agriculture in Ningjin County

In Ningjin County, Dezhou City, a hub of agricultural innovation, Shandong Xuyuan Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. has been driving a smart transformation since 2019. The company’s flagship product, the fully automatic intelligent water and fertilizer integrated machine, combines automation control, IoT, and sensor technologies to achieve precise and intelligent management of irrigation and fertilization. Compared to traditional flood irrigation, this system saves up to 50% of water. Sensors monitor crop growth conditions in real time, automatically adjusting the water-to-fertilizer ratio and supply based on actual crop needs. This not only prevents resource waste but also reduces environmental pollution. Farmers can remotely control the system via smartphone or computer, significantly lowering labor costs while ensuring uniform nutrient delivery that improves both crop quality and yield.

In addition to the intelligent fertigation system, Shandong Xuyuan has launched a self-propelled sprinkler irrigation system that requires no tractor traction, offering great convenience for field irrigation. The company’s hose reel sprinkler features advanced automatic reel recovery technology, which greatly reduces manual labor by automatically retracting the irrigation pipe according to preset programs. It flexibly adjusts the irrigation range based on field size, ensuring even and precise water distribution—eliminating issues of localized flooding or insufficient irrigation. These innovations are gradually transforming traditional farming practices in Ningjin County, where a growing number of agricultural enterprises and farmers are embracing smart technologies, painting a promising picture of the future of smart agriculture.
