Group 1 - The national wheat harvesting is progressing from south to north, with over 80% of the harvest completed in the Southwest wheat region and the Huang-Huai-Hai region entering the harvesting phase [1] - Sichuan, a key area in the Southwest wheat region, has completed the harvesting of approximately 6.2 million acres, with expectations to finish by the end of the month, slightly ahead of last year [3] - In Hubei province, over 90% of the 15 million acres of wheat has been harvested, with grain purchasing enterprises already acquiring more than 150 million jin of new wheat [3] Group 2 - The Huang-Huai-Hai region is the largest and most productive wheat area in China, with mechanical harvesting activities ramping up in Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu [3] - In Anhui province, approximately 43.42 million acres of wheat are being harvested, with farmers working to collect wheat at the right maturity to minimize losses [3] - In Henan province, 85 million acres of wheat are entering the suitable harvesting period, with over 20% already harvested [4] Group 3 - The "Three Summer" period is characterized by the use of various agricultural machinery for harvesting, planting, and management [5] - Summer harvesting machinery includes combine harvesters, balers, and dryers, which are essential for efficient grain collection and storage [7] - The summer planting machinery consists of seeders, transplanters, and tillers, which prepare the land and plant crops after the harvest [9] Group 4 - The use of advanced agricultural machinery is increasing, with smart technologies such as Beidou and 5G being integrated into farming practices, including autonomous machines and agricultural drones [9]

Core Viewpoint - The integration of smart agriculture technologies in Xinjiang's pepper cultivation is significantly enhancing efficiency and productivity for farmers, transforming traditional farming practices into data-driven operations [1][5][6]. Group 1: Smart Agriculture Technologies - The use of drones equipped with Beidou navigation systems allows for precise spraying of fertilizers, improving efficiency by 20 times compared to manual methods [2][3]. - AI visual recognition and multispectral sensors enable real-time monitoring of crop growth, generating "fertilization prescription maps" for dynamic adjustment of fertilizer application [2][3]. Group 2: Precision Farming Practices - Traditional farming methods are being replaced by data-driven approaches, utilizing soil moisture sensors and 3D root imaging technology to optimize tillage depth and soil loosening without damaging crops [5][6]. - Farmers can now manage irrigation for large areas (e.g., 800 acres) through mobile applications, significantly reducing labor and time required for irrigation tasks [5][6]. Group 3: Agricultural Development Support - The establishment of a comprehensive smart application network, including drones, large machinery, and micro weather stations, simplifies and enhances the efficiency of agricultural practices [6].
