The used technology has reached the international advanced level, adopting the integrated drip irrigation technology and automatic system of detecting temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide, which can rational allocate water, fertilizer, and pesticides, and then transmit the mixture directly to crops under the control of the computer, so it can significantly save water.
