Recently, the academic monograph "greenhouse automatic operation equipment and technology: Strawberry examples" by researcher Liu Jizhan of the school agricultural engineering of JiangSu university was published by the Science Press. The book systematically introduces the phased achievements of Liu Jizhan's scientific research team in this field. It is the world's first monograph on intelligent production technology and equipment for strawberries.

Liu Jizhan's scientific research team has insisted on realizing strawberry production mechanization with intelligent empowerment for many years. It has carried out key technology research and development with Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Nanjing Forestry University and other units, and formed a series of miniaturized and intelligent strawberry production equipment in line with national conditions, such as mobile chassis, matrix paving, seedling transplanting and pesticide application. At present, it is stepping up inspection, pollination Harvest and other intelligent equipment.

It is reported that strawberry is the largest berry widely planted in the world. China is the first strawberry producer in the world, but China is mainly cultivated in greenhouse, and the mechanization rate is less than 10%. There are more than 3.5 million employees in the strawberry industry in China, but it is difficult to effectively solve the problem of inorganic availability in strawberry production by traditional mechanized means. The publication of the book indicates the leading position of our university in the research field and will help attract more peers to devote themselves to the mechanized and intelligent research and industrial development of strawberry production.
