Recently, in the cherry orchard of Gaofangzi, Puchang Town, Suiyang County, clusters of red cherries are hanging all over the branches, the particles are huge and full, and they are beautiful.
"This cherry bears good fruit, sweet and sour, and the fruit stalk must be picked when picking, because the characteristic of this variety is that it is not resistant to storage, and if you don't pick the fruit stalk, you can't manage it for a long time. Next to a cherry tree, Xiao Denghui, a provincial science and technology commissioner and senior agronomist, praised the taste and growth of cherries, and explained the precautions for picking cherries.
"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, face to face, hand in hand 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 of the fruit market, to the growth height of orchard green manure, the science and technology correspondents have tailored a series of solutions for farmers.
"This year, we are focusing on the theme of chemical fertilizer reduction to explore the impact of new fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers, on cherry yields. We experimentally designed three treatments, one treatment was the no-fertilizer area, the second treatment was the conventional fertilization area of farmers, and the third treatment was the water-soluble fertilizer treatment area. Zhang Xiaomin, a provincial science and technology commissioner and senior agronomist, said, "Today, three cherries were randomly selected in each processing area for overall cherry picking to measure its average yield. The results showed that the yield per mu was increased by 238 kg in the water-soluble fertilizer treatment area compared with the customary fertilization area of farmers. In the later stage, if the farmers' acceptance of this water-soluble fertilizer is relatively high, we will continue to give technical guidance. ”
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.
"This cherry needs more potassium fertilizer in the later stage, especially in the fruit expansion stage, this water-soluble fertilizer with high potassium content should be applied, so that the color and sweetness of the fruit can be better. Zhang Xiaomin explained the technical essentials to Zhang Zhongxing, the person in charge of the Xingqian Fruit and Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative in Suiyang County.
It is understood that the cooperative was established in December 2013 and is mainly engaged in fruit planting, vegetable planting and sales. The cooperatives concentrate on planting more than 400 acres of fruits, including 200 acres of plums and 200 acres of cherries, driving more than 2,000 acres of individual planting and 12,500 jobs, involving 356 farmers, with an average income of 2,808 yuan.
The science and technology correspondent not only brought the "sunflower book" for managing and protecting the orchard, but also brought policy support for farmers. In October 2023, the provincial science and technology commissioner won the high-quality orchard quality and efficiency improvement project for the Xingqian fruit and vegetable planting professional cooperative in Suiyang County, adopting a standardized production and development model, realizing the benign development of ecological benefits while improving economic benefits, and laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of agriculture in the region.
"With the help and guidance of the teachers, we have adopted rain-sheltered cultivation and scientific fertilization methods, this year, the yield of one mu of land has increased by more than 400 catties, and the income has increased by 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan. Zhang Zhongxing said.
In recent years, Suiyang County has vigorously supported the development of the fruit industry, relying on science and technology, focusing on the development of the fruit industry with quality as the focus, taking the market as the guide, adjusting the production layout, optimizing the planting structure, highlighting standardized production, improving intermediary services, and striving to develop the export-oriented fruit industry, promoting the quality and efficiency of production, helping the masses to increase income, and laying a solid foundation for the realization of a sustainable development of the modern fruit industry.
