Description

Smart water dropwort harvesting system

The present invention is made to be able to check and control the state of parsley harvesting from a remote location, and solve the problems of productivity reduction and high harvesting costs caused by the aging of farms and the conventional labor-intensive production method, thereby increasing farm household income and improving agricultural productivity. It relates to the buttercup harvesting system.

Parsley is a perennial plant belonging to the parsley family. It has a strong scent and excellent detoxification, and is used as a medicinal material. It is also used as an ingredient for kimchi, salads, fresh vegetables, and green juice.

These water parsley are divided into stone and water parsley. Usually, parsley means water parsley with long stem and high marketability. In addition, stone parsley is naturally wild in spring or field wetlands or watersides in valleys, and has a feature of having shorter stems and more leaves than water parsley, and in recent years, it is mostly cultivated and commercialized in fields rather than in the wild. Also called parsley.

Water parsley is mainly cultivated in rice fields, and it is usually called rice paddy, and is grown in water filled with water. In winter, it is cultivated in a state filled with water about 60 cm in order to prevent freezing of water parsley.

These parsleys are in season from November to May of the following year, so they are often harvested in winter. However, it is not easy to harvest parsley grown in cold water.

In other words, if parsley is harvested by manpower, workers must bend down in deep water with low water temperature in winter to cut the roots of parsley and harvest.Therefore, the harvesting speed is slow and various damage to workers is caused by leeches or uncomfortable working conditions. Can occur.

In addition, since the ground on which the parsley grows is a soft ground, workers often lose their feet, which makes it difficult to work. In addition, the harvesting speed is remarkably slow due to the hard work of cutting the bottom of the stem close to the root with a knife or sickle or digging the roots of the parsley with a shovel. Accordingly, there is a difficulty in mobilizing a large number of people in order to harvest the parsley, and a large number of personnel is required because a large number of people must be mobilized and harvested at the same time.

That is, according to the conventional harvesting method of harvesting water parsley by manpower, there is a problem in that a lot of labor costs are required because various damages may occur to workers and a large number of manpower must be input due to a slow harvesting speed.
