(Yongchang County Rong Media Center Reporter: Zhang Shan, Bai Xiaona, Cai Hong (intern) report) As we all know, watermelons grow on the ground, but growers Zhang Yizhi broke the convention, using greenhouse hanging vine planting technology, melon vines grow vertically along the melon frame, and the watermelons produced become "hanging melons in the air", which not only improves the land utilization rate, but also improves the quality of watermelons, and the hanging vine planting technology has become a new way for melon farmers to get rich.
In the watermelon planting base of Beidi Village, Shuiyuan Town, rows of lush melon vines meander upward, growing vigorously, and one by one the oily and shiny, round watermelons are "hidden" in the net pocket, hanging on the vines in a staggered manner, which is both novel and interesting.
Zhang Yizhi, a grower, said that he had done a corresponding investigation in the early stage, and decided to try planting this kind of melon considering that the growth period is short, the quality is good, and the market is good. Seeing that the melons are ripe and the workers are busy picking, packing and packing, Zhang Yizhi is full of confidence that his planting results have entered the market one after another.
Grower Zhang Yizhi: We use the traditional way to spread pollination through pollen, and the growth cycles of red soil and yellow soil are slightly different, but our desert melons are of better quality, good taste, sweet and juicy.
