In April, the cherries planted in Gaofangzi Boutique Orchard and Dongshanbao Orchard in Puchang Town, Suiyang County are about to enter the picking period, and strings of dense "red agate" are hidden in the green leaves, hanging on the trees like small bells.
Recently, the phone of the orchard manager has been ringing non-stop, and groups of cherry-loving fans are eager to go into the orchard to pick cherries with great anticipation. The person in charge of the orchard all stood around Xiao Denghui, a smiling science and technology correspondent, to "take class".
Tourists who come here do not know that the secret of the delicious and productive cherries in the orchard is "hidden" in Xiao Denghui.
"Cherries are delicious, and trees are hard to grow. "Affected by the unique climate of Guizhou, cherries are susceptible to cold and rainy weather during the flowering and fruit-bearing periods, resulting in abnormal flower and fruit shedding and a large number of fruit cracks, reducing commercial value.
In order to effectively ensure the quality of cherries, stabilize cherry yields, and solve the dilemma of industrial development. In recent years, Xiao Denghui has worked with local agricultural technicians and large growers to devote himself to the research on key technologies and segmented management and protection of cherry cultivation. "We did a comparative experiment in Dongshanbao Orchard and found that after installing this rain shelter, the experiment in recent years has increased the number of high-quality fruits by more than 76%, and the yield has at least doubled. "On average, we come four to five times a month to carry out follow-up services to provide relevant technical guidance to growers, reduce the impact of the climate, and improve the yield and quality of cherries." ”
In the fields, orchards, farmers' courtyards, and farmers' cooperatives, the figure of "Kotepai" can be seen everywhere, and the technical guidance for the management and protection of fruit trees before, during and after production, and agricultural technology experts are fully covered. Whether it is the four seasons of management and maintenance, or the harvest season, just a phone call, the technical service can be immediately sent to the door, patiently and meticulously answer the problems encountered by the masses in production.
"In our production, we encounter incurable diseases of pests and diseases, as well as management problems, we can call them at any time to communicate, and they will also come to our site to guide, with their help, the quality and economic benefits of our fruits have been greatly improved. Zhang Zhongxing, chairman of Gaofangzi Boutique Orchard Cooperative, said.
"The key to agricultural and rural modernization lies in science and technology and talent." The science and technology correspondent is connected to scientific and technological innovation on the one hand, and production practice on the other. They go into the countryside and the fields to solve new problems, disseminate new technologies, popularize new achievements, cultivate new farmers, and promote the all-round integration of science and technology and demand. From the selection of fruit tree varieties, to biological insect control and bird repellent facilities, to the price fluctuations in the fruit market, to the height of green manure growth in orchards, Xiao Denghui and his colleagues have tailored a series of solutions for farmers.
After the training course of the day, Fu Guanglu, the person in charge of Dongshanbao Orchard, gained a lot and became more confident. "Today, the expert teachers came to tell me about the mistakes in the previous management, and provided technical guidance for me to correctly fertilize and improve the varieties in the future, and I also have a good idea of the subsequent management of cherries. ”
Standing at a new starting point, docking new needs, and opening up a new situation, the majority of "Ketepai" will always be on the road.
Wang Lintao, head of the science and technology unit of the Science and Technology Service Center of Suiyang County Education and Sports Bureau, said, "Our science and technology service center adheres to the service concept of 'science and technology empowerment and industrial development', guided by the needs of farmers, and carries out a combination of 'online + offline' service methods, accurately linking science and technology correspondent teachers and farmers, and carried out more than 240 technical trainings in the county in the first quarter of 2024, covering all township growers in the county, and science and technology correspondents, agricultural technology cadres, and industrial growers work together to help open up agricultural science and technology services' The last mile'. ”
In 2022 and 2023, Suiyang County will strive for 600,000 provincial project funds for large industrial households in need of technology and capital, and has built 4 provincial science and technology commissioner innovation and entrepreneurship service and training demonstration sites (demonstration bases) in Guizhou Province.
In the next step, Suiyang County will continue to focus on the "1+2+N" modern agricultural industry system, towards the goal of developing modern agriculture with a more optimized structure and a more sound system, actively do a good job in agricultural production science and technology services, and give full play to the role of provincial, municipal and county-level science and technology commissioners, so as to improve the quality and efficiency of the agricultural industry, improve the quality of farmers and increase farmers' income.
