Abstract:Bananas, as an important fruit and grain dual-purpose crop in tropical and subtropical regions, occupies a core role in the industrial economy of China's tropical regions.With the continuous development of emerging technologies such as agricultural intelligent equipment and artificial intelligence, it is of great practical significance to promote the full mechanization and intelligent production of bananas to enhance industrial competitiveness.The application and research progress of agricultural equipment and technology in the field of banana production were reviewed.Focusing on the growth characteristics and complex planting environment of banana, it systematically reviewed the research progress of key technologies and intelligent equipment in the four major links of banana orchards information perception, cultivation management, harvesting and transportation, and post-harvest processing.In terms of information perception of banana plantations, the identification and location techniques of banana plants, stalks and pseudo-stems based on different algorithms were discussed.In terms of cultivation management, the research and application of intelligent monitoring technology and equipment for disease prevention and nutrient management were summarized.In terms of harvesting and transportation, the high-efficiency and low-damage integration picking-support-transportation technology were elaborated, and the application scenarios and advantages of different transportation system such as vehicle, cableway and UAV were compared.In terms of post-harvest processing, the technical breakthroughs and existing bottleneck problems of banana de-handing were discussed.At present, banana production in China has only been mechanized in some links, the practical application performance of agricultural machinery-agronomy matching cultivation techniques of flatland banana orchard in improving yield and optimizing operation efficiency achieved initial results.Problems such as insufficient adaptability to complex environments and low intelligent were still prominent, which restricted the high-quality development of the industry.Around the development of banana intelligent production technology and equipment and the needs of intelligent banana orchard construction, it was proposed that it should focus on the weak links such as conquering early diagnosis and prevention of Fusarium wilt, upgrading the integrated water, fertilizer and pesticide intelligent control platform, developing low-damage integrated harvesting and transportation equipment, and integrated construction of intelligent banana orchard.So as to break through the key core technologies and promote the transformation of banana production towards full mechanization, automation, refinement and intelligence.
