This year, the agricultural department of Lixian County has continuously strengthened cooperation with research and development enterprises, actively introduced new technologies and varieties, and promoted agricultural efficiency and farmers' income.
In the greenhouse of the planting base of Hunan Fenggang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. in Wugong Village, Xiaodukou Town, the straight melon vines are hung with tender "Shennong honeydew melon", and the employees are busy picking, packing and carrying.
Xia Xiancai, general manager of Hunan Fenggang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd.: Our honeydew melons have now begun to go on the market, the amount in the early stage is not large, only 1,000 to 2,000 jin per day, and the peak in the later period reaches 10,000 jin, and the current sales situation is still very good.
"Shennong Melon" is small, round-shaped, more evenly irradiated by light, more sugar and more evenly distributed. This variety combines the characteristics of sweet and juicy melon in the north and crispy skin in the south, and has become the "leader" in melon products.
Xia Xiancai, general manager of Hunan Fenggang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd.: Then (compared with) similar melons on the market now, its aroma, sweetness, brittleness, storage and transportation resistance should have certain advantages.
In recent years, the Lixian Institute of Agricultural Sciences and Hunan Fenggang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. have carried out research and enterprise cooperation, taking the transformation of agricultural development mode as the main line, vigorously developing the planting of fruits and vegetables in facilities, and vigorously promoting the development of fruit and vegetable production in the direction of efficiency, safety, pollution-free and branding, driving more and more farmers to rely on "vegetable baskets" to puff up "money bags". At present, there are growers in Xiaodukou Town, Linanzhen, Lixi Street and Lilan Street, with a total planting area of nearly 1,000 mu.
Liu Yang, secretary of the Lixian Institute of Agricultural Sciences: At present, there are more than 10,000 mu of vegetable greenhouses in the county, and there are hundreds of early rice seedling greenhouses, and the idle time after the completion of the seedling task is relatively long, which can well develop the greenhouse melon industry, thereby improving the utilization rate of greenhouses, enriching market varieties, increasing employment opportunities, promoting farmers' income, helping industries break through and realize rural revitalization.
