Jiaodong Online, April 12 (Reporter Wang Xiangrong, Zhang Jie, Photographer Li Gang, Correspondent Wang Lingyun) Under the grapevines that have just sprouted, the large bulbous mushrooms are being picked, and the clusters are round and cute. On the morning of April 12, the reporter saw the beautiful scenery of the harvest in the vineyard of Shuntai Plant Protection Technology Co., Ltd. in Fushan District. This base has cultivated 100 acres of mushrooms in the vineyard and apricot orchard in the mode of "fruit and fungus intercropping", and the net income per mu has increased by more than 5,000 yuan during the idle period of the orchard.
On the same day, the observation and training meeting of the city's orchard cultivation technology of large globular mushroom under the orchard organized by Yantai Agricultural Technology Extension Center was held here. Yang Xianyu, a member of the party group and a third-level researcher of Yantai Agriculture and Rural Bureau, attended the meeting and delivered a speech, Wu Jizhuang, secretary of the Party Committee and director of Yantai Agricultural Technology Extension Center, presided over the training, and Professor Li Weihuan, director of the Department of Edible Fungi of the College of Agriculture of Ludong University, was invited to carry out technical training for the participants. More than 90 people, including agricultural technology extension personnel at the city and county levels, and representatives of large fruit or edible mushroom growers in various districts and cities, walked into the vineyard to experience the growth environment of Globular Globular Mushroom and check the growth of Globular Mushroom. At the subsequent training meeting, the participants listened carefully to the cultivation and output of Gypsum globulus in the demonstration base, the technical points and benefits of the cultivation of Globular Agaricus in the orchard, and interacted with the teaching experts.
The planting base of Shuntai Plant Protection Technology Co., Ltd. is a demonstration pilot project base for the high-quality development of Yantai fruit industry "fruit and fungus intercropping" jointly built by the Municipal Agricultural Technology Extension Center and the College of Agriculture of Ludong University. Wang Yinglei, director of the vegetable station and senior agronomist of Yantai Agricultural Technology Center, introduced that this new model is mainly to use the idle period of orchard production management to cultivate large globular mushrooms under the trees, which does not affect the normal production of the orchard, so that fruit farmers can increase the income of a large bulbous mushroom, and effectively improve the utilization rate of orchard land. At the same time, the mushroom bran after harvest is directly cultivated and returned to the field, which can also be used as fertilizer for orchards, improve soil structure, improve soil fertility, and then improve fruit quality.
Zuo Xiquan, the general manager and senior agronomist of Shuntai base, told reporters that after the grape harvest in October last year, the base planted large globular mushrooms in 80 acres of vineyards and 20 acres of apricot orchards. This mushroom is easy to manage and requires less labor. The yield per mu reached more than 2,000 catties, and it began to mature in mid-March this year, with an estimated net income of more than 5,000 yuan.
In recent years, Yantai Agricultural Technology Extension Center has actively sought the guidance and support of the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Municipal Bureau of Finance and other functional departments, extensively integrated the resources of all parties in the society, cooperated with the joint agricultural research units and agricultural socialization service subjects, and promoted the construction of a new agricultural technology extension service system that is diversified and complementary, efficient and collaborative. Starting from 2023, our city will take the service and production of agricultural technology extension institutions as the direction, rely on the high-quality development project of Yantai fruit industry, give full play to the advantages of edible fungus innovation resources of the College of Agriculture of Ludong University and the demonstration and driving advantages of Shuntai Plant Protection Technology Co., Ltd., and jointly implement the pilot project of the new model of "fruit and fungus intercropping". Through the use of simple facilities to cultivate orchards during the idle harvest period, under the fruit trees to cultivate large globular mushrooms, so that the land utilization rate and output rate of simple facilities to cultivate orchards are greatly improved, from the original one shed and one harvest, to the current one shed two harvests, two harvests a year, to achieve a land and two incomes; Efficient, circular economy. According to estimates, the net income of mushrooms alone is more than 5,000 yuan per mu.
A technology can only be turned into productivity if it is delivered to farmers for good use. In the next step, agricultural technology extension agencies at the city and county levels will take active measures to accelerate the promotion and application of the new model of "fruit and fungus intercropping", so that it can enter thousands of households and benefit more fruit farmers.
