Khaberni - On Friday, China launched its first major artificial intelligence model dedicated to monitoring and protecting arable land, which will function as a new digital system for the national strategy for grain storage in the land.
The model was launched by the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning under the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, on the occasion of World Soil Day.
The new model aims to upgrade the management of agricultural land in China from focusing on quantity to improving quality, a task that can no longer be efficiently handled through traditional manual monitoring, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
The team led by Tang Hua Jun, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, developed this system which integrates a central basic model with "vertical models" designed for specific tasks such as field segmentation, crop classification, and quality inspection of engineering works.
China has more than 66.7 million hectares of high-fertility agricultural land, where the fertility of its soil has been well preserved through technological advances and scientific agricultural management.
In a pilot program in Kunshan, Jiangsu province in eastern China, the model successfully established a custom system by dynamically adjusting fertilization based on weather and crop growth cycles.
Experts said that the launch of this model provides a technological impetus for the sustainable management of agricultural resources, enhances the quality of arable land, and helps in the development of high-quality agricultural land in China.
