This year, the overall quality of Sha Tin grapefruit has improved in a balanced manner
It is understood that the requirements of this appraisal activity are to plant (or lease contract) manage and protect Shatian grapefruit within the jurisdiction of Rong County, and put into production more than 200 plants and an annual output of more than 20,000 kilograms. Rongxian Shatian Pomelo Association organized a centralized evaluation team with reference to national industry standards. In order to ensure the selection of high-quality grapefruit, the evaluation and sampling team inspected the participating fruit farms three or four days in advance, verified whether the fruit farms met the conditions for participation, and supervised the fruit farm owners to collect fruits on the spot, according to the geographical location of each fruit farm, the comprehensive slope level, the sunny side and other conditions, and selected 1 Shatian grapefruit for each plant. Pesticide residue testing is carried out on the participating grapefruit to ensure that all the participating grapefruit are qualified and meet the evaluation conditions.
"The overall quality of shatin grapefruit participating in this competition is relatively high, which reflects the balanced improvement of the comprehensive quality of Shatian grapefruit in RongXian County this year." Xiao Youwen, president of the Rong county Sha Tin Pomelo Association, is very satisfied with the results of this competition, and he believes that the appraisal activities will promote the balanced, healthy and lasting development of Rong County Sha Tin Pomelo.

Experts give suggestions on the quality of Sha Tin grapefruit on the spot
In order to further enhance the brand image of Rongxian Shatian grapefruit and make the Shatian grapefruit industry in Rongxian County bigger and stronger, In the appraisal activities, Ou Shanhan, researcher and vice president of Guangxi Institute of Characteristic Crops, and Hou Yanlin, second-level professor and doctoral supervisor of Nanning Normal University, were invited to hold a small forum on how to develop the grapefruit industry in Rongxian county and how to improve the quality of Shatian grapefruit in Rongxian County.
Ou Shanhan has long been concerned about the development of the Shatian grapefruit industry in Rongxian County, and the development of the Shatian grapefruit industry in Rongxian County has been included in the special study, and he proposed to establish a traceability system for the quality of Shatian grapefruit in Rongxian County, maintain the brand reputation of Rongxian grapefruit, establish a traceability system for the quality of fresh fruits, strengthen the publicity and promotion of Rongxian grapefruit, and at the same time establish a Grapefruit trading market in Rongxian County and strengthen market supervision.
Professor Hou Yanlin began research on the quality improvement technology of Shatian grapefruit in Rong County three years ago. His results show that the quality of Sha Tin grapefruit mainly depends on the meteorological conditions from September to October, that is, less rainfall, less air humidity, and more sunshine hours are high-quality climatic years; rational application of organic fertilizers and calcium and magnesium fertilizers helps to improve quality. He believes that in the future, rongxian shatin grapefruit industry should mainly solve three problems in order to establish an efficient production management model: first, laying reflective film from September to October to ensure that precipitation is difficult to enter the root system and is absorbed, which can also increase temperature and reduce air humidity; second, through the rational application of organic fertilizer and calcium magnesium fertilizer and strengthen field management to improve yield, because Shatian grapefruit belongs to the crop with the higher the higher the yield, the better; the third is to conduct in-depth research on the unique honey flavor producing substances of Rongxian Shatian grapefruit.
