Autumn, full of the joy of harvest,
The same is true of the large agricultural city of Dongtai.
Dongtai City is located in the middle of the coastal area of Jiangsu,
The total area is 3176 square kilometers,
The county area is the first in Jiangsu,
With 85 kilometers of golden coastline, it is known as the "Pearl of the Yellow Sea".
It is bordered by the blue waves of the Yellow Sea in the east and the fertile fields in the west.
Let the plains be vast, the water network dense, and the fertile fields paved;
The four seasons are distinct, mild and moist, and the sunshine is abundant.
One side of the fertile soil, a hundred rivers and beautiful waters, gave birth to a shining signboard - Dongtai rice.
Dongtai rice is mainly produced in
To the first batch of rice towns in Jiangsu Province
The Lixiahe area centered on the Five Martyrs of Dongtai,
The gift of God,
Dongtai rice is given the quality advantage of the national geographical indication of agricultural products.
Today, let's walk into Dongtai together and reveal the secret of the delicious rice on the tip of the tongue!
Secret 1: A long history of rice cultivation
According to archaeological findings, 8 Neolithic-Liangzhu cultural sites, such as Kaizhuang and Shiyan Town Wuxing in Qindong Town, Dongtai City, have unearthed thousands of stone, jade, pottery devices, carbonized rice and animal and plant specimens, indicating that Dongtai entered the rice cultivation era 5000-4000 years ago.
Not only that, but it is also a royal tribute to the past. The three prime ministers of the Song Dynasty, Yan Shu, Lü Yijian and Fan Zhongyan, served in Dongtai and played a role in promoting the development of rice in Dongtai. Qing Jiaqing's "Records of Dongtai County" and "Huainan ZhongshiChang" recorded in detail the rice climate, soil, varieties and yields, especially noting that Dongtai rice was of high quality, and it was the royal tribute rice since the Song Dynasty.
Secret two: unique excellent quality
Dongtai rice grain oval, full and round, shiny, rice grain weight 22.2-23.5 mg. Rice is crystal clear and shiny, the taste is soft and hard, moderate, chewy, sweet; porridge is viscous, fragrant, rice oil, and the porridge film is thicker after cooling.
According to the Republic of China's "China Industrial Chronicle Jiangsu", among the 67 counties in Jiangsu Province, Dongtai is the county with the highest rice yield. In the 1960s, the cultivation of high-quality japonica rice varieties, Nongken 57 and Nongken 58, laid the foundation for high-quality rice in Dongtai. At present, the main varieties of Nan japonica 9108 and Huai Rice No. 5 planted in the Dongtai rice area, as well as the "Dongtai Komachi" series of varieties, have maintained the excellent quality of Dongtai rice.
Secret 3: Suitable planting environment
Dongtai rice planting area is the eastern disc edge area of the Lixiahe Plain in Jiangsu Province, with deep soil layer, fertile soil, medium soil to light stickiness, red sand soil, foot-binding soil and other highly developed high-quality paddy soil, pH neutral alkali, with water retention, fertilizer retention, ventilation, easy cultivation, effective fertility and high characteristics. The main production area has a dense water network, belongs to the HuaiHe River Basin Lixia River system, the water area accounts for 16%, irrigation water sources are sufficient, the water quality is excellent, reaching the national surface water three types of standards, fully meet the requirements of high-quality rice production.
In addition, Dongtai City is located in the transition zone from the northern subtropical to the warm temperate zone, which belongs to the warm and humid monsoon climate zone, with mild humidity, abundant rainfall, sufficient sunshine, short frost period, four distinct seasons, and unique climatic conditions, which are conducive to japonica rice production. In particular, during the critical period of rice production and filling and fruiting (September to October), the average monthly temperature is 17.6 °C -22.9 °C, and the daily temperature difference is 7.1 °C -8.8 °C, which is very conducive to the excellent genetic characteristics of rice and the accumulation of nutrients, which is an important condition for ensuring the characteristics of Dongtai rice.
Secret Four: Advanced Production Technology
In October 2018, due to the needs of industrial development, the Dongtai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government decided to merge Wulie Town and the adjacent Xixi Scenic Area into the new Dongtai Wulie Modern Agricultural Industry Demonstration Zone, with a total area of 134 square kilometers.
Since its inception, the grain industry park in the industrial demonstration park has always followed the development concept of "innovation, green, ecology and health", and in accordance with the innovative idea of "full-scale green demonstration, whole-process mechanical operation, and full-chain industrial integration", it has made every effort to build a first-class high-quality and efficient grain industrial park in the province.
The demonstration area strictly implements the technical regulations for the production of Dongtai rice, popularizes the application of seedling seedling seedlings and planting techniques, fully implements the five unified management measures for rice production, pays special attention to irrigation in the late growth period, wet and dry, achieves rooting and leaf preservation, and increases grain weight; carries out green scientific prevention and control, adopts biological attractants in the field, installs solar insecticidal lamps, releases red-eyed bees, plants vetiver attractants and applies short-stable bacillus biopesticides, implements the five green prevention and control measures of full straw return to the field and soil testing formula fertilization, increases zinc, Silicon and other medium and trace element fertilizers, improve soil physical and chemical properties, improve rice yield and quality.
Demystifying five: comprehensive chain development
At present, the total construction area of the park is 18,000 square meters, of which the public service center is 1,500 square meters. Built a fully automatic drying line with a daily drying capacity of 1,200 tons, a 30,000-ton low-temperature and low-oxygen raw grain warehouse, a high-end rice processing line with a daily output of 200 tons and a supporting 6,100-meter rice preservation warehouse, with a 20,000-square-meter centralized breeding and supply center and various supporting facilities. All types of facilities are complete, forming a whole industrial chain of green grain production integrating planting, breeding, processing, warehousing and sales.
Secret Six: Deep Industrial Integration
Nowadays, through deep processing through scientific and technological means, Dongtai has high-quality rice varieties such as Dongtai Komachi rice, colorful rice, rice, shrimp, rice and crab rice, functional rice such as β-dextran, selenium-rich, zinc-rich rice, and high-end brown rice, embryo rice and other finished rice, which is suitable for circle consumption of different groups. Through cooperation with Jingdong Group, Dongtai has broadened the online sales channels of high-quality rice in an all-round way, and realized the traceability of green rice production in Dongtai.
In the autumn, four rice field paintings planted in the Dongtai Modern Agricultural Industrial Park in Wulie attract tourists from all walks of life to watch. By elevating traditional agriculture to creative agriculture and amplifying farming culture, Dongtai has successfully transformed "rice fields" into "landscapes" and added the connotation of rural agricultural tourism. The in-depth integration and development of the first, second and third industries have been initially formed, laying an industrial foundation for the strong villages and rich people.
Rich and beautiful vigorous "long" in the rice field,
Let the traditional agriculture add a touch of imagination.
Dongtai rice transforms itself into a "fruit" that nourishes life,
Waiting for the future to collide with the water,
Become sparkling and shiny,
Soft and sticky sweet rice with a fragrant aroma.
The pastoral song of the integration of agriculture and tourism has been played,
"Wei Rice Town" is waiting for you to punch!
