Abstract:

The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) have created a modern cotton planting system with regional characteristics in China. This new system advances Chinese production techniques in the aspects of agricultural intensification, scale, development of agricultural machinery, and application of modern agricultural technology. During the years of systematic development and performance, massive data were accumulated by XPCC in the cotton planting field. As big data technology has become an important driving force for the development of intelligent agriculture in China, how to apply this technology to further improve the intelligent level of the cotton planting system and realize the healthy, efficient, and sustainable development of the whole cotton industry chain is a key problem in strengthening and enhancing XPCC’s ability to reclaim and defend the Chinese border in the information age. Thus, we constructed a big data platform that covers the entire industrial chain for cotton production in China based on a mature commercial big data storage and analysis system framework to promote the cooperation of industry, colleges, and institutes for cotton production big data in the XPCC. This platform was comprised of data, model, system, and application layers from the bottom up. In each layer, the cotton production chain was analyzed using five dimensions of agricultural resources, agricultural monitoring, production management, agricultural machinery scheduling, and market prediction. After completion, the developed platform intends to provide big data for comprehensive management and sharing, remote-sensing monitoring, agricultural machinery operation monitoring and maintenance, intelligent decision-making, quality traceability, and market early warning and prediction services for cotton production to potential users involved in cotton production and management. Finally, this paper analyzes the problems encountered in data sharing, model upgrades, and service modes in the process of platform research and development, and puts forward some suggestions to provide references for agricultural big data resource sharing and platform construction in China.
