Ke hoʻomau nei ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻenehana mahiʻai. ʻO ka hoʻokele ʻikepili o kēia wā a me ka mālama ʻana i nā moʻolelo e hiki ai i nā mea hoʻouna ke kanu ke hoʻolālā ʻokoʻa i nā hana e pili ana i ke kanu ʻana i ka ʻohi ʻana e hōʻoia i ka holo mālie o nā huahana. Kiʻi na Frank Giles
I ka wā o ka Virtual UF/IFAS Agricultural Technology Expo i Mei, ʻelima mau ʻoihana mahiʻai kaulana mai Florida i komo i ka kūkākūkā papa. ʻO Jamie Williams, Luna Hoʻokele o nā Hana ma Lipman Family Farms; Chuck Obern, nona ka C&B Farms; Paul Meador, nona ka Everglades Harvesting; ʻO Charlie Lucas, Pelekikena o ka Citrus Consolidated; ʻO ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Ken McDuffie, ka hope pelekikena kiʻekiʻe o nā ʻoihana kō ma ka hui kō, ua haʻi ʻo ia i ko lākou hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻenehana a hoʻomaopopo i kāna kuleana i kā lākou hana.
Ua hoʻohana kēia mau mahiʻai i nā mea hana e pili ana i ka hana no ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi paʻa i ka pāʻani ʻenehana mahiʻai no ka manawa lōʻihi loa. ʻO ka hapa nui o lākou e lawe i ka laʻana o kā lākou mau mahinaʻai no ka hoʻoulu ʻana, a hoʻohana i nā mea ʻike wai lepo a me nā keʻena o ka ʻāina no ka hoʻonohonoho pono ʻana i ka wai.
"Ke hōʻike nei mākou i nā ʻāina GPS no kahi o 10 mau makahiki," wahi a Obern. "Ua hoʻokomo mākou i ka GPS rate controllers ma luna o nā mea fumigation, fertilizer applicators a me sprayers. Loaʻa iā mākou nā keʻena o ka wā ma kēlā me kēia mahiʻai, no laila inā makemake mākou e kipa aku iā ia, hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi iā mākou i nā kūlana ola."
"Manaʻo wau ʻo ka ʻenehana ʻo Tree-See, kahi i hoʻopuni ʻia no ka manawa lōʻihi, he holomua nui no ka citrus," wahi āna. "Hoʻohana mākou iā ia ma nā ʻano hana like ʻole, inā he ʻōpala, ka wai lepo a i ʻole fertilizing. Ua ʻike mākou i ka hōʻemi ʻana o kahi 20% o nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia i nā noi Tree-See. ʻAʻole kūpono kēia i ka mālama ʻana i ka hoʻopukapuka kālā, akā ua ʻoi aku ka hopena o ke kaiapuni. liʻiliʻi.
"I kēia manawa, ke hoʻohana nei mākou i ka ʻenehana lidar ma kekahi mau sprayers. ʻAʻole lākou e ʻike wale i ka nui o nā kumulāʻau, akā i ka nui o nā kumulāʻau. ʻO ka nui o ka ʻike e hiki ai ke hoʻoponopono ʻia ka helu o nā noi.
"Hoʻohana mākou i nā kuhikuhi GPS no ka pīpī ʻana i nā pōpoki āpau i hiki ke hoʻoholo i ka maikaʻi o lākou a me kahi o lākou," wahi a Williams.
Ua hōʻike ka poʻe Panelist āpau i ko lākou ʻike ʻana i nā manaʻo maikaʻi loa no ka hiki i ka wā lōʻihi ke hōʻiliʻili a mālama i ka ʻikepili e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka hoʻomau ʻana a hoʻoholo i nā hoʻoholo ʻike i ka mahiʻai.
Ke hoʻokō nei ʻo C&B Farms i kēia mau ʻano ʻenehana mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2000s. Hoʻokumu ia i nā papa ʻike he nui, e hiki ai iā lākou ke lilo i mea paʻakikī i ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā mea kanu kūikawā ʻoi aku ma mua o 30 i ulu ma ka mahiʻai.
Hoʻohana ka mahiʻai i ka ʻikepili e nānā i kēlā me kēia māla a hoʻoholo i ka hoʻokomo i manaʻo ʻia a me ka hua i manaʻo ʻia no ka ʻeka/wiki. A laila hoʻohālikelike lākou me ka huahana i kūʻai ʻia i ka mea kūʻai aku. Ma muli o kēia ʻike, ua hoʻomohala kā lākou polokalamu hoʻokele polokalamu i kahi hoʻolālā kanu e hōʻoia i ka holo paʻa o nā huahana i koi ʻia i ka wā o ka pukaaniani hōʻiliʻili.
"I ka wā e loaʻa ai iā mākou kahi palapala 'āina o ko mākou wahi kanu a me ka manawa, loaʻa iā mākou kahi luna hana [polokalamu] hiki ke kuha i nā hana no kēlā me kēia hana hana, e like me nā disks, nā moe moe, nā mea momona, nā herbicides, ke kanu ʻana, ka irrigation Kali.
Ua kuhikuhi ʻo Williams i ka ʻohi ʻia ʻana o nā ʻikepili i kēlā me kēia makahiki, hiki i ka ʻikepili ke hāʻawi i nā ʻike a hiki i ka pae lālani.
"ʻO kekahi o nā manaʻo a mākou i manaʻo ai i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala aku nei, ʻo ia ka ʻenehana e hōʻiliʻili i ka ʻike he nui a hoʻohana iā ia e wānana i ka ulu ʻana, nā hopena hopena, koi hana, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, i mea e lawe ai iā mākou i ka wā e hiki mai ana." Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "Hiki iā mākou ke hana i kekahi mea e noho i mua ma o ka ʻenehana."
Hoʻohana ʻo Lipman i ke kahua ʻo CropTrak, kahi ʻōnaehana mālama moʻolelo i hoʻohui ʻia e hōʻiliʻili i nā ʻikepili e pili ana i nā hana āpau o ka mahiʻai. Ma ke kahua, hoʻokumu ʻia nā ʻikepili āpau i hana ʻia e Lipman ma GPS. Ua kuhikuhi ʻo Williams he helu kēlā me kēia lālani, a ua nānā ʻia ka hana a kekahi poʻe no nā makahiki he ʻumi. Hiki ke ʻimi ʻia kēia ʻikepili e ka naʻauao akamai (AI) e loiloi i ka hana a i ʻole ka hana i manaʻo ʻia o ka mahiʻai.
"Ua holo mākou i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona i kekahi mau mahina i hala aku nei a ʻike ʻoe i ka wā e hoʻopili ai ʻoe i nā ʻikepili mōʻaukala āpau e pili ana i ka wā, nā poloka, nā ʻano like ʻole, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole maikaʻi ko mākou hiki ke wānana i nā hopena o ka mahiʻai e like me ka naʻauao hana," wahi a Williams. "E pili ana kēia i kā mākou kūʻai aku a hāʻawi iā mākou i kahi manaʻo palekana e pili ana i nā hoʻihoʻi i hiki ke manaʻo ʻia i kēia kau. Ua ʻike mākou aia kekahi mau ʻāpana i ke kaʻina hana, akā maikaʻi ka hiki ke ʻike iā lākou a noho i mua o lākou e pale i ka hana nui. Mea hana o. "
Ua manaʻo ʻo Paul Meador o Everglades Harvesting i kekahi manawa e noʻonoʻo paha ka ʻoihana citrus i kahi hale ulu lāʻau e hoʻohana wale ʻia no ka ʻohi nui ʻana i ka citrus e hōʻemi i ka hana a me ke kumukūʻai. Na ke kiʻi na Oxbo International
ʻO kahi ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ka ʻenehana mahiʻai i ʻike ʻia e ka poʻe panelists ʻo ka mālama ʻana i nā moʻolelo hana. He mea koʻikoʻi kēia ma kahi mokuʻāina e hilinaʻi nui ana i ka hana H-2A a loaʻa nā koi mālama moʻolelo kiʻekiʻe. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hiki ke nānā i ka huahana hana o ka mahiʻai he mau pōmaikaʻi ʻē aʻe, i ʻae ʻia e ka nui o nā papahana polokalamu o kēia manawa.
Noho ka ʻoihana kō ʻAmelika i kahi ʻāpana nui a hoʻohana i nā kānaka he nui. Ua hoʻokomo ka hui i ka hoʻomohala polokalamu e hoʻokele i kāna poʻe hana. Hiki i ka ʻōnaehana ke nānā i ka hana o nā mea hana. Hiki i ka hui ke mālama pono i nā tractor a me nā mea hōʻiliʻili e pale aku i ka downtime no ka mālama ʻana i nā puka makani hana koʻikoʻi.
"I kēia mau lā, ua hoʻokō mākou i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo ka hana maikaʻi," wahi a McDuffie. "Ke nānā nei ka ʻōnaehana i kā mākou olakino mīkini a me ka huahana mea hana, a me nā hana mālama manawa āpau."
ʻOiai ʻo nā luʻi nui ʻelua e kū nei i nā mea ulu i kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nele o ka hana a me kāna kumukūʻai. Hoʻoikaika kēia iā lākou e ʻimi i nā ala e hōʻemi ai i ka koi o ka hana. He lōʻihi ka hele ʻana o ka ʻenehana mahiʻai, akā ke hopu nei.
ʻOiai ua loaʻa nā pilikia i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o ka citrus i ka wā i hiki mai ai ka HLB, ua hoʻōla hou ʻia i kēia lā ma hope o ka ʻino i ka waena o 2000s.
"Eia naʻe, ʻaʻohe ʻohi mechanical i kēia manawa ma Florida, akā aia ka ʻenehana i nā mea kanu lāʻau ʻē aʻe, e like me ke kofe a me nā ʻoliva me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā trellis a me nā mea ʻohi interrow. Manaʻo wau i kekahi manawa, e hoʻomaka kā mākou ʻoihana citrus. E nānā i nā kūkulu ulu lāʻau, nā kumu aʻa hou, a me nā ʻenehana e hiki ai ke hana i kēia ʻano o ka ʻohi, "wahi a Meador.
Ua hoʻokomo hou ʻo King Ranch i ka Global Unmanned Spray System (GUSS). Hoʻohana nā robots autonomous i ka ʻike lidar e neʻe i ka ululāʻau, e hōʻemi ana i ka pono o nā mea hana kanaka. Hiki i hoʻokahi kanaka ke hoʻohana i ʻehā mīkini me hoʻokahi pona i loko o kāna kaʻa huki.
Hoʻolālā ʻia ka ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa mua o GUSS no ka hoʻokele maʻalahi i loko o ka māla waina, me nā lālā e kahe ana ma luna o ka luna o ka sprayer. (Na David Eddie)
"Ma o kēia ʻenehana, hiki iā mākou ke hōʻemi i ka noi no 12 tractors a me 12 sprayers i 4 GUSS units," wahi a Lucas. "E hiki iā mākou ke hōʻemi i ka heluna o ka poʻe i ka 8 poʻe a uhi i ka ʻāina no ka mea hiki iā mākou ke holo i ka mīkini i nā manawa a pau. ʻĀnō, ʻo ka pulupulu wale nō, akā ke manaʻo nei mākou hiki iā mākou ke hoʻonui i ka hana e like me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka herbicide a me ka ʻoki ʻoki.
Ua lilo ka palekana o ka meaʻai i mea koʻikoʻi i nā hana o kēlā me kēia lā a i kēlā me kēia hola o nā mahi kanu kūikawā. Ua hoʻokomo ʻo C&B Farms i kahi ʻōnaehana barcode hou e hiki ke hahai i nā ʻohi hana a me nā mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia-i lalo i ka pae kula. ʻAʻole pono kēia no ka palekana o ka meaʻai, akā pili pū kekahi i nā uku ʻāpana no ka hana ʻohi.
"Loaʻa iā mākou nā papa a me nā mea paʻi ma ka pūnaewele," wahi a Obern. "Ke paʻi nei mākou i nā mea paʻi ma ka pūnaewele. Hoʻouna ʻia ka ʻike mai ke keʻena a hiki i ke kahua, a ua hāʻawi ʻia nā sticker i kahi helu PTI (Agricultural Product Traceability Initiative).
"Mālama nō mākou i nā huahana a mākou e hoʻouna aku ai i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku. Loaʻa iā mākou nā māka wela GPS ma kā mākou mau moku e hāʻawi iā mākou i ka ʻike manawa maoli [kahi kahua a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka hana] i kēlā me kēia 10 minuke, a e hōʻike i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku pehea e hiki ai kā lākou ukana iā lākou. "
ʻOiai e koi ana ka ʻenehana mahiʻai i kahi ʻāpana aʻo a me nā lilo, ua ʻae nā lālā o ka hui he mea pono ia i ka hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū o kā lākou mahiʻai. ʻO ka hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka pono hana, hoʻemi i ka hana, a hoʻonui i ka huahana hana mahiʻai ke kī i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
"Pono mākou e ʻimi i nā ala e hoʻokūkū ai me nā mea hoʻokūkū haole," wahi a Obern. "ʻAʻole lākou e hoʻololi a hoʻomau i ka ʻike ʻia. Ua haʻahaʻa loa kā lākou kumukūʻai ma mua o kā mākou, no laila pono mākou e hoʻohana i nā ʻenehana e hiki ke hoʻonui i ka pono a hoʻemi i nā kumukūʻai."
ʻOiai ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei ka poʻe mahiʻai o ka hui ʻenehana mahiʻai UF/IFAS i ka hoʻokō ʻana a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka ʻenehana mahiʻai, ʻike lākou aia nā pilikia i kāna hoʻokō. Eia kekahi mau mea a lākou i wehewehe ai.
