Technology modernizes spring cultivation in Qingdao

With Awakening of Insects, the third term of the 24 Solar Terms, now here, life is gradually awakening in Qingdao West Coast New Area with the promise of new beginnings.

In preparation for this year's spring planting season, a 12,000-mu (800-hectare) potato planting base in Liuwang town has undergone a comprehensive mechanization upgrade. Tasks such as plowing, ridging, sowing, and mulching are now all being handled by intelligent agricultural machinery. Efficiency has soared 20-fold compared to traditional manual methods, reflecting the potential of combining age-old farming practices with cutting-edge technology.
