Description

  The present invention relates to a method for managing cultivation of rice.

  Conventionally, there is a farming method called transplant cultivation for rice cultivation. However, transplantation cultivation is a farming method accompanied by heavy labor such as raising seedlings. On the other hand, attention has been focused on direct sowing cultivation that does not require raising seedlings in recent years, but it occupies 2% of the paddy field area in Japan. In direct sowing cultivation, seed seeds are sown directly on the surface of the rice field, so that seedlings can be grown directly in the field and labor can be saved. For this reason, although the physical exhaustion is reduced in the direct sowing cultivation work, the technical difficulty level is increased, and if the cultivation procedure and method are mistaken, the taste is lowered as compared with transplantation cultivation, and the yield is 10 to 20%. May decrease to some extent. Although many producers want to incorporate labor-saving, they are in a gap where they can't take a step forward with the introduction of direct sowing because of the desire to secure the same mass as transplanted cultivation.

  Originally, in order to solve such problems, it was natural for agricultural improvement extension staff and agricultural cooperative farming staff to promote labor-saving farming methods for the next generation. It is often seen in each region that there are few staff members who have experience in agriculture and human resources with new perspectives. In addition to the lack of knowledge and experience, the reduction of staff in the farming sector is considered to be one of the factors hindering the spread of the farming sector.

  Furthermore, in recent years, due to abnormal changes in climate, in any farming method, after fertilizers and herbicides are sown in the field, a phenomenon occurs in which the dissolution time of these materials is shifted during cultivation. There are many usage guidelines in the material specifications, but there are many cases where they are not adapted due to unseasonable weather factors. Many producers have been working for many years based on a calendar-based experience and intuition, and a sense built on a temporary success experience. In the future, we will succeed and secure technology for successors. It ’s a difficult time.

  On the other hand, recently, devices for digitizing daily agricultural work reports and measuring the water level of farm fields are being developed, but these do not basically contribute directly to technical improvement and income increase. In the electronic work daily report, only the work electronic notebook actually performed was input, and the producer who had been wearing the cultivation diary in the past only played a role of reviewing past records, and was merely paperless. Naturally, the input records are not processed and reused, and even more, it is not a service that can be expected to provide comprehensive cultivation follow-up regarding fertilizer management and appropriate advice.

  By measuring, managing, and analyzing the field environment, it is possible to optimize the work time, clarify the work content, notify the worker, and instruct the work to eliminate uncertain elements that rely on intuition, and to supply water It is to provide a cultivation management method with high profitability by a centralized cultivation control management system (hereinafter referred to as the system) by taking part of cultivation such as ionization and promoting rice growth promotion. . Details are as follows.

Conventionally, it was left to the producers how to carry out manure management. Many producers tend to seek effects in excess, and design fertilizer overload and over control.
Therefore, it is an object of the system to have a function of urging feedback and correction of appropriate fertilization management information corresponding to each field to the producer before starting cultivation.

Conventionally, after the start of cultivation, the judgment of the degree of rice growth has been made visually, so it is ambiguous, and the situation could not be grasped without a field survey.
Accordingly, an object of the system is to make the growth degree comparable by quantifying the growth degree and expressing it as a numerical value.

In the conventional ionic water production | generation apparatus, the producer needed to learn the timing of ion processing in relation to the growth of rice.
Therefore, this system makes it a subject for the producer to be able to automatically carry out on-site ion treatment in a timely manner without requiring learning about rice cultivation again.

Conventionally, when cultivation is started, subsequent cultivation management has been generally performed by intuition.
Therefore, this system makes it a subject to make it possible to transmit appropriately the suitable period of the cultivation management of each field to a producer after cultivation start.

Conventionally, the harvesting time has been determined by visual confirmation of a cultivation start time or a field near harvesting.
Therefore, an object of the system is to enable rearrangement of the order of the fields at the time of cutting according to the ripening state of the fields.

In Japan, the development of power infrastructure for activating device groups of environmental data measuring devices, ion water generators, and network communication devices is not widespread in each field.
Therefore, this system makes it a subject to enable starting a device group of an environmental data measuring device, an ionic water generation device, and a network communication device alone without performing infrastructure maintenance in each field.

In Japan, network infrastructure development for communicating with environmental data measuring devices, ion water generators, and network communication device groups in each field is not widespread.
Therefore, this system makes it a subject to make it possible to analyze field environment in real time.

Conventionally, short-term information on agricultural testing grounds, test results from universities and research institutions are not passively distributed to producers, and research institution information and cultivation sites are always separated.
Therefore, it is an object of the system to make it possible to always provide the latest information to the producer.

The present invention has been intensively studied, and a method for solving the above problems has been found, and the present invention has been completed.
The present invention records and confirms basic cultivation information for each field in rice cultivation, measures environmental data, automatically starts / stops the ionic water generator, instructs the producer on the contents of farm work, predicts the harvest date and time, Centralized cultivation control management characterized by having a function to provide communication for automatic control of ionic water generators with environmental energy of each field, and for communication to connect to the Internet by wire or wirelessly and transmit to centralized management cloud server Solve the problem using the system.

Outline diagram for explaining rice cultivation centralized control management system

Previously, agricultural cooperative staff also took advantage of the desire to increase the yield of producers, and as a result of the lack of deterrence in promoting sales of materials, fertilization and control became excessive, and the burden on producers tends to increase It was in. Recently, there is a tendency for the daily work report to be digitized, but the numerical values input to such a system are merely stored as a record, and the appropriateness of the fertilization management of each field is judged, or Appropriate advice was received and it was not a service.
In the present invention, the producer writes the cultivation basic information of the variety, the type of farming method, the fertilization design, and the weeding system from the terminal to the centralized management cloud server at the start of cultivation, and then the producer corrects the appropriate fertilization management table. Receive electronically.

Conventionally, there was a machine for measuring the water level and water temperature of the field, but it was not intended for measuring the degree of growth. Although it is technically possible to monitor pH, redox potential, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen concentration, there is no idea to quantify the degree of rice growth based on the measured values.
In the present invention, the degree of rice growth is estimated and quantified by measuring the pH, redox potential, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen concentration of water.

The conventional ionic water production | generation apparatus took the method of installing and using an apparatus in a farm field in the case of implementation. Therefore, the timing of implementation was left to the producer. In addition, following the cultivation of rice, the producers had to memorize the approximate time of use for each variety, which was a burden.
According to the present invention, software for each product type is prepared in a central management server, and an ion water generator at a remote location is automatically started and stopped.

  In the past, producers themselves managed fattening according to their senses and calendars, resulting in a habit. In the present invention, the appropriate time for fertilizer management is calculated by monitoring the degree of growth remotely and transmitted to the producer.

Conventionally, the harvesting time is determined by the producer's own sense, cultivation start time, rough weather forecast, etc. It was very difficult to plan.
A centralized management cloud server optimizes the field to be cut based on the field data and environmental big data. Set the mowing time.

Conventionally, an ion water generator is activated by using a generator that requires fuel, a battery for environmental data, and an AC power source for continuous communication.
In the present invention, by using environmental energy, the power is unified, and at the same time, continuous activation is enabled.

Since the conventional field environment data system, particularly pH, redox potential, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen concentration in the water quality sensor were activated offline, it was necessary to go to the site and collect data.
In the present invention, real-time communication is performed wirelessly or by wire between the centralized management cloud server and the environmental sensor group installed in the field.

In the past, in order to publicize rice cultivation using ionic water generators, we conducted enlightenment activities at workshops, etc., in order to disseminate the information. For this reason, technical information updates were handled individually at the off-season or by individual e-mails and telephones.
In the present invention, detailed support is made possible by sending to all users the farming method improvement measures that have been clarified at agricultural test stations, universities, and research institutions in a timely manner.

  Before starting the cultivation, the producer wrote the schedule of the cultivation start time, cultivar, type of farming method, fertilization design, and cultivation basic information on the weeding system from the electronic terminal to the centralized management cloud server. The server pointed out that there was an error in the choice of fertilizer and that there were many units of weeding amount. As for fertilizers, it was pointed out that the farming methods and fertilizer types do not match, and that for herbicides, even if the amount of application was increased, the results did not change. As a result, we succeeded in reducing costs comprehensively.

  By making the growth degree of each field numerical and comparing it, the priority of work in each field became clear on the desk. It was possible to prepare materials in advance, and the purchase of useless materials and behaviors were restrained, resulting in cost reduction.

  As a result of starting and stopping the ion treatment without involving the producer, the yield was increased by increasing the number of stems, extending the head length, improving the ripening rate, and increasing the thousand grain weight. Moreover, since the ratio of the protein content contained in the starch of brown rice will fall when 1000 grain weight increases, it succeeded in improving a taste as a result.

  The two-way communication that can confirm necessary information on fertilizer management when necessary makes it possible to automatically respond to inquiries from the producer side, so that it is possible to effectively utilize the free time from the site and manage the field. .

  In addition to increasing the yield by cutting with the command from the centralized cloud server, the quality has improved compared to the previous year.

  Even in fields where infrastructure development is difficult, field information monitoring was realized at low running costs without incurring infrastructure costs.

  As a result of being able to confirm the state of the field in real time, the number of times of heading to the field was reduced and the work efficiency was improved, thereby succeeding in cost reduction.

  The fact that the yield is further increased by constantly revising the timing of treatment of the ionic water generator was found as a research result during the cultivation period, and contributed to the increase in yield without giving the producer the workload associated with the change. .
