From Drones To Sensors Durian Grower Goes High Tech

(AFP pic)BATU PAHAT: Drones spraying pesticide, sensors taking soil readings, sprinklers that squirt fertiliser at the touch of a button – a Malaysian plantation is using high-tech methods to boost its crop of durians.
Fans hail the durian as the “king of fruits” , and it is particularly popular in China.
But to its detractors, it is the world’s smelliest fruit, with an overpowering stench like rotting food that has seen it banned in hotels and on public transport across the region.
In a competitive market, Malaysian grower Top Fruits Sdn Bhd has turned to high-tech methods to lift its output.
“It’s a much faster way to get more consistent results,” managing director Tan Sue Sian told AFP during a tour of one of the company’s plantations in Batu Pahat, Johor.
Using technology allows farmers to gauge more precisely how much fertiliser and water the trees need, he said.

Key in the drive are sensors spread across 160ha of Top Fruits’ plantation, relaying data on soil quality and content to workers’ handheld devices.
The sensors are boxes mounted on poles, connected to the soil with a series of cables. By 2024, the entire plantation should be kitted out with them.
Sprinklers attached to a network of pipes are remotely activated to spray fertiliser onto the trees, while drones hover over the plantation spraying pesticide.
Such methods are unheard of in Malaysian durian farms, where growers typically rely on a large labour force, instinct and educated guesses.
The investment has been hefty – Top Fruits has spent about RM4 million over the past three years on the technology.
But it has led to an increase in yields of 40%, while its workforce has shrunk by 30%.
The company is now able to produce 800 tonnes of durians from its farms every year, with more than 80% of its crop frozen in factories to be exported overseas, much of it to China.
In a bid to further boost their crop, Top Fruits is getting into research by setting up a lab and collaborating with local universities. - FMT
