The countryside is China's grassroots and China's "kitchen", and many agricultural products have found their roots in the countryside. In such a "soil", the growth, planting and harvesting of various agricultural products have their own unique charm. Today, we will talk about a fruit grown in the countryside - oranges.
In rural China, there are many orchards where a variety of fruits are grown. One of the most popular fruits is oranges.
Orange has been cultivated in China for a long time, it is not only a specialty fruit, but also a cash crop. In rural areas, many people depend on orange cultivation as their main livelihood. Orange, known as the "fruit of life", has conquered the hearts of millions of lovers with its beautiful appearance and wonderful taste.
The history of orange cultivation in China can be traced back to the discovery of scientist Song Shilie, when oranges introduced to China were mainly sweet oranges with strong aromas. Nowadays, with the development and reform of China, the cultivation area of oranges is also increasing, and there are more and more varieties.
Orange cultivation requires a series of steps, from selecting the right soil to seedlings, planting, fertilizing and watering. Every step must be done just right to ensure that the oranges grow healthily.
When farmers grow oranges, they need to be patient and attentive to them. They constantly adjust the growth of oranges to ensure that they can grow in the best environment and produce the best fruit.
When the oranges are ripe, farmers pick them. They pick when the sun is shining and the air is circulating, and they pick it by hand or by machine. Oranges do not have a long shelf life, so they should be washed and placed as soon as possible after picking to ensure that they remain fresh fruit.
Oranges are not only an ordinary fruit in the market, but also widely recognized for their nutritional value and medical effects. The flavonoid components in oranges can play an antioxidant and anti-aging role; The rich vitamin C in oranges helps to strengthen the body's immunity and resist infectious diseases; The citrus glycosides in oranges can reduce blood lipids and prevent cardiovascular disease.
Farmers who grow oranges come together to form fruit cooperatives to increase their economic benefits by controlling the quality and price of finished products. Orange production plays an important role in rural economic development, and also provides urban residents with abundant high-quality fruits.
Growing oranges is a tedious task, but the farmers' hard work and sweat make them happy. They have dedicated their lives to this wonderful cause, which has made our lives so better.
The cultivation of oranges in rural areas has always been an important industry, and it is also a very long and difficult process. First, farmers need to pick the right plot and the right soil to grow them. Oranges can produce good quality fruits in different soil types, but the best soils are sandy soils with good water permeability, which have better permeability and are more suitable for the root growth of oranges. Secondly, it is crucial to cultivate and manage oranges in the right way. Gardeners need to constantly provide it with fresh water and fertilizer, and deal with their pests and diseases in a timely manner. In addition, farmers need to prune the branches and roots of oranges regularly to maintain sufficient nutrients and growth rate.
After a year of waiting, the oranges begin to ripen and orange patterns appear on the fruits. At this time, farmers will pick oranges and send them to the market to sell. At this stage, farmers are the busiest. They need to be desperately picking oranges so that they can sell in the shortest possible time. At this time, the price is also the highest, because oranges are limited in quantity and need to be sold in time. Farmers not only sell oranges to local markets, but also send them to other cities and countries.
In general, orange cultivation is a very important rural undertaking and a process that requires many difficulties and challenges to overcome. With hard work and the right planting methods, farmers can reap healthy, tasty and nutrient-rich orange fruits. We hope that more farmers will enter this field and contribute to our food business in the future.
