The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and flowers and flowers are full of fruits. At present, it is the critical season for peach management and protection, and in the peach base of Xuzhou District Taohuayuan Planting Professional Cooperative located in Qixing Community Village, Nanguang Town, farmers are taking advantage of the fine weather to stabilize the peach and lay a good foundation for increasing fruit production and improving quality.
Walking into the peach peach base of the Peach Blossom Source Planting Professional Cooperative, the continuous peach trees come into view, and the small green peaches hang all over the branches, exuding fragrance in the sun. Under the peach trees, workers shuttle through with sprayers on their backs, carefully spraying pesticides on each fruit tree.

Huang Zhongqing, chairman of the Taohuayuan Planting Professional Cooperative in Xuzhou District, said.
