ZHENGZHOU — Digital technologies, such as drone-based multi-functional monitoring system, Beidou navigation system, big data analysis and intelligent irrigation control system, have been applied in Central China's Henan province to assist farming and harvest.

In a pilot digital demonstration farmland in Xiayi county, a drone equipped with the Beidou navigation system is used to carry out plant protection operation.
