Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart agriculture technology, specifically a digital rice planting and management method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, rice cultivation relies heavily on experience-based decision-making, resulting in problems such as low fertilizer and water utilization rates (nitrogen fertilizer utilization rate in Chinese paddy fields is less than 40%), delayed early warning of pests and diseases (loss rates reach 20-30% after rice blast outbreaks), and large yield fluctuations. Manual monitoring costs account for more than 35% of total production costs, and data collection accuracy is limited by the density of field sensor deployment (conventional methods require 5 mu / node).

[0003] Existing technologies suffer from the following problems: low fertilizer and water utilization rate: the nitrogen fertilizer utilization rate in paddy fields in my country is generally less than 40%, and excessive or insufficient fertilization leads to resource waste and environmental pollution.

[0004] Delayed early warning of diseases and pests: Relying on manual inspections, the loss rate after the outbreak of diseases such as rice blast can be as high as 20%-30%, and the control cost is high and the effect is limited.

[0005] Insufficient data acquisition accuracy: The existing field sensor deployment density is low (e.g., 5 mu / node), making it difficult to achieve accurate monitoring. In addition, the satellite remote sensing cycle in cloudy areas is long (7-10 days / time), resulting in poor data timeliness.

[0006] This method solves the core problems of agricultural big data being "unable to be stored, processed, or used effectively" by establishing a digital twin of rice growth and integrating edge computing (field gateways processing image data in real time within 200ms) with a deep learning LSTM model. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned technical difficulties and provide a digital rice planting and management method.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted is: a digital rice planting and management method, comprising the following steps: S1. Construct a multimodal data acquisition layer: Deploy a soil moisture sensor network with a node density of ≥10 per acre and a sampling frequency of 1 time per 10 minutes; configure a UAV multispectral imaging system with a spectral range of 400-2500nm and a resolution of ≤5nm; install a field weather station to monitor the canopy microclimate with an accuracy of ±0.5℃ for temperature and ±3%RH for humidity. S2. Establish a digital twin of rice growth: Construct an organ-level growth model based on LSTM neural network with 256 hidden layers and Dropout=0.2; develop a multi-source data fusion algorithm with a spatiotemporal alignment error of <5 minutes. S3. Generate optimized decision instructions: When the predicted leaf area index (LAI) is lower than the threshold (3.2 for hybrid rice and 2.8 for japonica rice): trigger the topdressing machine, servo motor control, flow error ±1.5%, and adjust the irrigation amount based on the probability of precipitation in the next 72 hours (CMA model of China Meteorological Administration). S4. Closed-loop feedback correction: Using RGB images from drones, the actual LAI value is retrieved at 20 megapixels with an error of ±0.15. The model parameters are dynamically updated with a learning rate of 0.001 and a batch size of 32.

[0009] Furthermore, the early warning model for rice planthopper infestation using the digital twin in S2 includes: Input features: insect voiceprint energy value in the 20-100kHz frequency band, diurnal temperature range of the canopy, and relative humidity; Model structure: 1D-CNN with 3 convolutional layers + LSTM with 128 units Performance metrics: Early identification accuracy 87.5%, n=1520 sets of data, early warning lead time 9.3±1.2 days.

[0010] Furthermore, the variable fertilization control in S3 is optimized using reinforcement learning: State space: soil N content, chlorophyll SPAD value, accumulated temperature; Operational space: Urea application rate (0-15g / m²); Reward function: Forecast yield - Nitrogen fertilizer consumption × 0.3; Training results: Under the same yield target, nitrogen fertilizer usage was reduced by 18.3±2.1% compared with the traditional model (p<0.01, t test).

[0011] Furthermore, the data acquisition layer adopts LoRaWAN networking: Communication parameters: SF=10, BW=125kHz, CR=4 / 5 Actual performance: Data packet loss rate of 0.7±0.3% within a 1km² range, and average power consumption of nodes of 28μA.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a quality traceability module: blockchain-based evidence storage for fertilization records (time, amount, operator) and pesticide use (type, concentration). Data correlation: The correlation coefficient between rice taste value and the average daily temperature difference during the heading period was r=0.82 (p<0.001).

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above scheme are as follows: After the application of this digital rice planting and management method, the following improvements were achieved: 1. A qualitative improvement in the level of precision agriculture: Through a high-density sensor network of 10 sensors per mu + 5nm resolution multispectral imaging, the spatial resolution of soil moisture monitoring was improved by 8 times compared with the traditional method (measured at 0.1 mu / unit vs. conventional 0.8 mu / unit); nitrogen fertilizer utilization rate reached 58.3%, which is 46.9% higher than that of traditional planting in Guizhou (39.7%); and water use efficiency was improved by 35%.

[0014] 2. Revolutionary breakthrough in pest and disease control: Based on the 1D-CNN 3-layer convolution + LSTM 128-unit model, the early warning time for rice planthoppers reaches 9.3±1.2 days, which is 86% higher than the conventional forecast (3-5 days) of agricultural technology stations; pesticide application is reduced by 2-3 times per season, and the control cost is reduced by 42 yuan / mu.

[0015] 3. Systematic optimization of resource consumption: Reinforcement learning-driven variable fertilization, under the same yield target (7850±210kg / ha): nitrogen fertilizer application was reduced by 18.3% (180→147kg / ha), and nitrogen fertilizer partial productivity increased from 43.6 to 53.9kg / kg (+23.6%). Combined with irrigation strategies based on CMA precipitation forecasts, the water saving rate reached 28.7%.

[0016] 4. Significant improvements in mountain adaptability: LoRaWAN networking (SF=10): Achieved in typical hilly terrain in Guizhou: 98.2% communication success rate within 1km², a 72% improvement over the Zigbee solution (57%), node power consumption reduced to 28μA, and battery life extended to 3 years (compared to the traditional 6 months).

[0017] 5. The added value of agricultural products has increased significantly. The blockchain traceability system shows a strong correlation between the taste value of rice and the temperature difference during the heading stage (r=0.82): the proportion of high-quality rice has increased from 52% to 78%, and the brand premium has reached 2.3 yuan / kg.

[0018] 6. Regionally Adaptive Innovations for Guizhou's Unique Environment: Spatiotemporal alignment error of data fusion algorithm is less than 5 minutes under cloudy weather (compared to more than 15 minutes under normal conditions), LAI threshold for plateau japonica rice is optimized to 2.5, lodging rate is reduced to 2.1% (compared to 11.5% under traditional methods), and packet loss rate of terraced terrain networking is controlled at 1.2% (23.5% under 4G scheme).
