(Jeonju=Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Jin-bang = The Rural Development Administration announced on the 10th that it has developed a "Combined Model for Enhancing Productivity in Strawberry Single-Tunnel Smart Farms" to facilitate the spread of smart farms by integrating smart farm element technologies that anyone can easily utilize.
The model developed this time is a practical model that comprehensively designs the element technologies of smart farms developed by the Rural Development Administration and combines them with industrial technologies.
Farmers can reduce installation costs by utilizing existing facilities to the maximum extent, and they can choose and apply only the necessary smart farm element technologies or integrate them as a package.
This model does not merely collect individual element technologies but comprehensively integrates core technologies such as environmental management, agricultural automation, and energy optimization technologies, allowing for synergy between technologies.
To increase the income of strawberry farmers, it is important to produce evenly throughout the year, but a strategy that focuses on increasing production during the winter season when prices are higher is more effective.
To increase winter production, it is essential to advance the emergence of flower stalks and the first harvest period through appropriate environmental management within the facility.
The combined model developed this time reduces the adverse effects of high summer temperatures on growth through high-temperature strawberry cooling seedling technology and a partial cooling system for strawberries, and it allows for the appropriate management of temperature, carbon dioxide, and irrigation even in winter by utilizing artificial intelligence-based environmental management technology.
The element technologies applied in the combined model total nine, with goals such as intelligent environmental management for productivity enhancement, agricultural automation for labor reduction, and energy optimization for cost reduction.
Applying this combined model can produce up to 22 kg of strawberries per 3.3 m² (1 pyeong), reduce energy costs by 40%, and reduce labor by 15%.
The Rural Development Administration plans to expand the dissemination of the combined model by verifying its effectiveness in pilot farms and targeting young and startup farmers who operate medium and small-scale smart farms.
Cho Yong-bin, Director of the Agricultural Engineering Department at the Rural Development Administration, said, "The model developed this time will significantly increase the productivity of strawberry greenhouses, allowing young and startup farmers to expect stable and high incomes at the level of urban workers."
