An Weiguo and his wife from Mazui Village, Shizhu Town, Yaozhou District, Tongchuan City, dared to be the first, dared to fight, and boldly tried to "grow in the south and in the north", breaking the geographical restrictions on crop growth and allowing loquat to "settle down" in Yaozhou.
At present, it is the season when loquat is mature and listed. Walking into the loquat greenhouse in Mazui Village, there is a rich fruity fragrance everywhere, and the round and golden loquat are hidden in the green leaves, or climb on the branches, under the sunlight, they are crystal clear and particularly attractive.
Grower An Weiguo is busy picking ripe loquats. In 2014, An Weiguo tasted sweet and juicy loquat in the south, which made him interested in growing loquat, and he began to explore "southern fruit and northern cultivation". "I tried to plant it, I planted it three times, the first time I planted 60 trees, and I still had a dozen trees, which proved that it could still live, and I bought another 60 trees, and now I lived more than 20 trees, and the third time I bought more than 20 trees. In the first year, it bloomed and did not bear fruit, and in the second year, it did not bear fruit, and when I asked people to say that it was not pollinated, I bought a box of bees, and the third year became, which took four years, and now it is basically a large area of fruit. ”
The loquat tree began to bear fruit, which strengthened the confidence of An Weiguo planting, fine management is one of the secrets of planting success, insisting on the use of farm fertilizer, regular weeding, pruning, fruit thinning, An Weiguo and his wife are busy in the greenhouse day and night.
"At first, I didn't know how to manage, I read some books, there was a greenhouse in Hebei to plant this, called the master to ask the master, the master said that the ventilation should be good, and the branches should be thinned. When it's time for pollination, buy a box of bees and put them inside for pollination. Basically, it is not easy to manage, and it is not easy to plant successfully, this tree is 100 catties, 30 trees are 3000 catties, a catty in the local area, if you pick and sell it now, it is thirty or forty yuan, and if you want to say that the income, it is better than others. An Weiguo said.
After ten years of hard cultivation, the loquat planted by Anweiguo is popular for its pure quality and rich nutritional value. The successful practice of "South Fruit and North Planting" of loquat in Mazui Village has not only realized the "agricultural dream" of An Weiguo and his wife, but also become a new "business card" of the local industry.
