CCTV News: At present, the 25,000 mu of soybean corn strip-shaped composite planting in Ying County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province has been fully launched. The local area actively promotes the improvement of planting methods and promotes stable production and increase income.
In Ying County, Shuozhou City, soybean and corn belt-shaped composite planting has been fully launched. During the planting process, the cooperative selected suitable corn and soybean varieties based on the soil and soil moisture conditions and combined with previous years' planting experience, and also adjusted the planting technology.
While improving the planting methods, the cooperative also adapts to local conditions and implements policies accurately, trying to use new technologies and new machinery for trial planting, and achieves agricultural efficiency through efficient use of good seeds, good methods and opportunities.
The reporter learned from the Ying County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau that this year the county's crop planting area is 1.16 million mu, of which 850,000 mu of grain crops are included. At present, 650,000 mu of corn have been planted, and all planting work is expected to end by the end of May.
Lianyungang, Jiangsu: Watermelons are hanging long, and new technologies bring high yields. In Lianyungang, Jiangsu, greenhouse watermelons have entered the harvesting period one after another. However, the watermelons here do not grow on the ground, but grow on the hang. According to reports, in about a week, these "air watermelons" will be launched in large quantities, bringing sweet enjoyment to consumers in advance.
Walking into this watermelon planting greenhouse in Lianyungang City, round watermelons are hung up one by one. This watermelon planting method is called "hanging vine planting". It is to graft the scion of the watermelon on the roots of the pumpkin and use the pumpkin regenerated root system for planting. Compared with traditional planting, it has a higher density and high yield, which not only saves planting space and improves the utilization rate of land resources, but also effectively improves the quality of watermelon, with thinner skin, high sweetness and good appearance.
Although the melon is small, it has put a lot of effort into it. From the perspective of planting, pollinating, and fruit setting, the entire cultivation process of watermelon requires strict control of temperature, light, fertilizer, etc. According to reports, it is expected that the first crop will be able to harvest about 10,000 kilograms in mid-May. Compared with the traditional "ground crawling seedling" planting model, the income per mu of watermelon field can be increased by nearly 6,000 yuan.
Hubei Shayang: Tomato harvesting is busy with "smart shed" and plant "rich fruits"
Not only watermelons are hanging, but tomatoes are also planted in mid-air in a tomato planting base in Shenji Town, Shayang County, Jingmen City, Hubei Province. Tomatoes are also planted in mid-air, and can produce multiple rounds of fruits within a year. They are gradually becoming the "golden fruit" for local rural revitalization. Let's go and have a look together.
The silver-gray smart greenhouse in front of me is the tomato planting base in Shenji Town, Shayang County, Jingmen City. In the greenhouse, tomato vines about 5 meters high are neatly arranged, and small tomatoes are spread on the branches. Workers are busy picking, sorting, and packing them to transport fresh tomatoes to the market.
It is understood that the tomatoes here use semi-closed soilless cultivation technology, using rock wool blocks and coconut bran instead of soil to cultivate seedlings, and using bumblebee tomatoes to naturally pollinate. At the same time, a special dripper is fixed at the roots of each tomato plant. The integrated water and fertilizer system will monitor soil moisture and nutrients in real time according to the sensors, and proportion water and fertilizer as needed.
Song Jian, a soilless cultivation technician of an agricultural company, said: "Like this season, it will be watered about 15 times a day, and the yield rate can reach more than 95%. "
These carefully cultivated tomato fruits are full and can continue to produce fruits from the end of each year to June of the following year, and are mainly sold to Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places. In order to encourage more villagers to join smart agricultural production, the local government is constantly exploring more cooperation models and continuously attracting smart agricultural enterprises to settle in.
Wang Dingjun, Party Branch Secretary of Shenji Community, Shenji Town, Shayang County, said: "We use the model of land investment. Currently, enterprises are driving the village collective income and employment of more than 30 jobs on our side. Judging from the current production model, sales have entered formal channels in all aspects, creating more channels for people to increase their income."
