Since the beginning of this year, Qingyun Town has actively explored a new model of pit pond remediation, vigorously developed the "pit pond economy" in accordance with the "one village, one product, one pond and one policy", and encouraged the town's 45 administrative villages to adapt measures to local conditions, plan scientifically, and promote the tripartite win-win situation of ecological protection, environmental remediation and rural revitalization.
The town area is close to the Zhangwei New River, the water system is rich, there are more than 100 pit ponds, Qingyun Town has introduced lotus root planting from Baiyangdian according to local conditions. According to reports, the roots and leaves of lotus root have the role of filtration and adsorption, which can effectively remove suspended and dissolved organic and inorganic substances in water, including heavy metals, organic matter, etc. The humus decomposition of leaves and stems of lotus root can increase the dissolved oxygen in the water body, thereby improving the water environment.
The pit pond before the clean-up was overgrown with weeds and piles of garbage. After the lotus root is planted, the lotus flowers are appreciated in summer and the lotus root is picked in autumn and winter, which not only solves the problem of ecological environment improvement, but also improves the town's pit pond economy.
"Lotus root planting is a good project with a one-time investment and many years of income. The white lotus root on the market, wholesale two yuan a catty, our pit pond is about 5 acres, with a yield of 4,000 or 5,000 catties per mu, generating more than 100,000 yuan for the village collective. At the same time, Baiyangdian Seedling Company also gives service guidance in terms of technical exchanges and sales channels, so that there is no market. Hu Jianhai, secretary of the Xiguancun Party branch, said. “
Up to now, more than 10,000 lotus roots have been planted in the pit pond of Qingyun Town, mainly white lotus roots and seed roots.
In the next step, Qingyun Town will actively guide the villages to use idle ponds, ditches, and low-lying lands to vigorously develop the planting industry featuring ornamental lotus and lotus root picking, and create high-quality agriculture.
