This year's high temperature days are also a test for grape growing. In these days, every night, the lush light of Qinfeng Family Farm in Yiqiao Town, Xiaoshan Mountain, is filled with water in the vineyard until late at night. At the moment, large bunches of sunshine roses hung from the branches, crystal clear, the air was filled with the rose fragrance of grapes, and the joy of harvest hung on the face of the lush light.
"Master carpenter" Yu Guangming did not think that he was almost "decathlon" because of the planting of grapes, the level of education is not high, his hands-on ability is very strong, water and electricity, carpentry, repair he will do, grape planting for 13 years, he will have more skills, not only temperature, humidity, sunshine time and other meteorological knowledge are all mastered, in recent years he also played with the computer, understood marketing, and will use digital technology to manage the orchard.
"We have a total of 100 acres of land, 50 acres of sunshine rose grapes, and some red beauty oranges, dragon fruit and so on." Yu Guangming introduced while bagging and weighing a spike of grapes. It is understood that the Yu Guangming family has begun to develop the grape growing industry since 2009, and has experienced the replacement of many generations of grape varieties in the middle, this year is the second year of their planting of "sunshine roses", the grapes of this variety are fragrant, crisp, sweet, and thin-skinned, as well as a quiet rose fragrance, which is very popular with customers. Today, Qinfeng Family Farm has also become the largest "Sunshine Rose" planting base in Xiaoshan.
"Our grapes ripen very evenly, and there is no case of whether the top is ripe or the bottom is green, which is the use of mulch film." Yu Guangming opened a white bag and pointed to a spike of grape with uniform color to explain: "The mulch film can ensure the light intensity at the bottom, and the bottom of this white bag is also hollowed out, which can improve the finish of the fruit surface, improve the coloring, and prevent diseases and insect pests on the basis of ensuring breathability and lightness." ”
Because it is naturally ripe, the grapes of the old Yu family have thin skin, rose fragrance, sweet but not greasy taste, the taste is particularly good, and the quality in Xiaoshan is one of the best, which is incomparable to the fruit grown with chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Set yourself a goal to grow higher quality grapes
Yu Guangming's vision is poisonous, the requirements are high, before doing decoration, the difference between the board and the board is one or two millimeters he can see. Because of this, he can do what others can't do. Lao Yu said that he had a desire to grow grapes of the same quality as the "Qing King". The standard of Japanese Haruo is very strict, requiring that the grapes on an ear are uniform in size per grain, the single grain is not less than 14g, the sugar content is more than 18, and the general one-spike Haruo particles are about 40 grains, and the panicle weighs about 600g. Basically, each spike of "Haruo" represents a perfect bunch of grapes, which can sell for more than 100 yuan a bunch in the Japanese market, and the taste is crisp and sweet.
For this purpose, you may not be able to imagine the persistence of Yu Guangming. He will go to various places every year to investigate, Shandong, Yunnan, Jiangsu and other places have his footprints, the way he inspected is not to sit in the conference room to listen to the lectures, but to go down to the ground to see, he said that the theory is different from the practice, where to plant well, where to learn, what technology to use, what fertilizer to use, how to lay the foundation, in the second half of each year when the grapes are sold out, he will run out, and all out of his own pocket to learn, the accumulation of technology allows him to quickly master the various tricks of grape planting. The degree of care touched his wife and daughter, and his dedication was supported by the whole family.
According to estimates, the output of sunshine roses in the old Yu family this year is about 150,000 catties. Although the grapes are well grown, they are not sold cheaply, and there are still a few that can be accepted, and most customers will pick the cheap ones. However, there are still a large number of old customers who look for his grapes, and every year the grapes will spontaneously come to visit during the ripe season.
Yu Guangming sighed, in Japan, the planting technology of "Qing wang" has been very mature, growers are not rushed to the top, 10 acres of family farms are the most common scale, usually husband and wife together, busy time to ask people to do, a small family farm is actually the result of successive generations of family operations. He has his own dreams, the quality is improved a little, the fruit is a little more beautiful, the grape growing technology is passed down from generation to generation, and a good grape is grown with heart.
According to statistics, the total area of fruit cultivation in Xiaoshan District is 36,512 mu, which is the same as that of the previous year. Among them, the grape area is 2550 mu, which is the same as the previous year, with an output of 1560 tons and an output value of 28.8 million yuan. Last winter and this spring, the newly developed and transformed fruit area is 272 acres, mainly citrus red beauty, fig, large cherry, peach, pear and other tree species. 30 acres of new varieties of citrus red beauty, and 63 acres of improved area by blueberry, kiwi and other tree species; 120 acres of newly planted figs; More than 1,000 large cherry size fruit seedlings were introduced, and facilities were established to cultivate a base of 20 acres.
