"The spacing between the buds and the beans is 60-70 cm, the spacing between the beans and the beans is 30-40 cm, and the spacing between the buds and the buds is 40 cm...... "Half-squatting in the ground, Tian Honggang is guiding local farmers to carry out soybean and corn strip compound planting.
As a grassroots agricultural technician in Longxi Town, Yuqing County, such field guidance is Tian Honggang's daily routine. pest control, agricultural technology promotion, agricultural technology experiments, organization and training...... Throughout the year, Tian Hong was busy with this and that, and his footsteps did not stop. Most of the farmers in the town knew his face, and more than half of them could call him by name, and the farmers would affectionately shout "Tian expert" when they saw him.
Agricultural technician, an identity who deals with the fields all day long, Tian Honggang can "play new tricks". In the past 40 years, he has researched and promoted new technologies, carried out field experiments, researched new varieties, presided over and participated in more than 20 agricultural scientific research projects, published 15 papers in provincial journals and above, and won the second prize of the National Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fishery Harvest Award, the second prize of the Guizhou Agricultural Harvest Award, the first prize of the Zunyi Agricultural Technology Promotion Award and many other honors.
The "farmer" who is rooted in the field
A pair of sneakers, a notepad, Tian Honggang has to go to the field every day, take the initiative to help each family check the growth of crops, as soon as he finds a problem, he immediately tells the villagers, and records it in the notepad he carries, and then follow up at any time.
"During this period of time, the weather changes greatly, and it happens to be the pod-setting period of rapeseed, we must pay attention to the prevention and control of aphids, and if rape aphids are found, we can use thiamethoxam and imidacloprid for control." In the rape field, Tian Honggang guides a farmer in the field management of rapeseed.
In 1985, Tian Honggang, who graduated from agricultural school, was assigned to work at Longxi Agricultural Push Station, and since then he has been a township agricultural technician. In a blink of an eye, Tian Honggang has been working in the fields of Longxi for nearly 40 years, and the young man who used to be a fledgling has become a "field expert" who understands everything in the eyes of farmers.
Tian Honggang gave technical guidance in the field
"Our students at that time were all agricultural talents in short supply, and they could go out of the countryside." Tian Honggang said with a smile, "I am originally a farmer, I have feelings for crops, and I just want to help farmers plant good land." ”
The main task of an agricultural technician is to help farmers solve technical problems. Tian Honggang has a strong brain and loves to ponder, and many incurable diseases are in his hands.
Once, several acres of peach trees bloomed in a fruit farmer's family, but they did not bear fruit, and the losses were heavy that year. Tian Hong just arrived at the scene and quickly concluded that it was caused by improper fertilizer and water control. "Peach trees need to be watered and fertilized two weeks before flowering, and when the peach blossoms bloom, they can't be watered anymore, and they need to be watered until a month after the flowers have bloomed." Tian Honggang immediately gave technical advice to the fruit farmer, and reminded other farmers that fertilizer and water must be controlled. Sure enough, according to Tian Honggang's suggestion, the fruit farmer controlled the fertilizer and water in the second year, and the peach trees at home were finally full of fruit.
Write the thesis on the earth, so that farmers can master advanced agricultural technology and grow the best grain with the best technology. Tian Honggang said, "The office of the agricultural technology cadre is a vast field, and he has to stay with the crops every day. As long as I can run, as long as the farmers need it, I will continue to do it. ”
"Experts" in the dissemination of agricultural technology
Those who are familiar with Tian Honggang know that he is a person who loves research and is good at research. "Agricultural technicians should not only help farmers grow land, but also help them better increase production and income. Tian Honggang said.
At the Jupei Family Farm in Longxi Township, waxy corn is planted successfully for three seasons a year. "In the past, most of the villagers still insisted on planting only one crop of corn a year, but after the autumn harvest, the land was idle, which greatly wasted land resources and affected the increase of people's income." Tian Honggang introduced that in order to increase the income of the masses per mu, he carefully studied the climatic characteristics of Longxi, cooperated with Liu Jupei, a large party member, and carried out experimental exploration, and finally successfully planted waxy corn for three seasons a year, effectively improving the multiple cropping index per unit area and increasing farmers' income.
On another occasion, Tian Honggang noticed that some peasant households reported that there was a shortage of labor in rural areas, and that it was sometimes impossible to find labor in time for rice planting. Tian Honggang found that after consulting a large number of materials and conducting experiments, he could promote the cost-saving and efficiency-enhancing technology of rice direct seeding, so he specially studied and summarized the key points of rice seeding cultivation technology, and promoted it to help the masses save a lot of seedling labor and reduce labor intensity.
Tian Honggang exchanged planting experience with the villagers
Aiming at the goal of increasing production and income, saving costs and increasing efficiency, Tian Honggang worked closely with growers, from a small range of trial planting of one or two acres to the promotion and demonstration of dozens of acres, and one by one agricultural technology was launched in Longxi. In the base of the Jupei Family Farm and Suyangzhizhou, Tian Honggang specially opened up a research and experimental field, sorghum cultivation, honey pumpkin planting, and Poria cocos cultivation...... A number of new technologies have been successfully promoted in Longxi after repeated tests in the experimental field.
"That's the way agriculture is, you have to try a new technology to know if it works." Tian Honggang said.
"Mentor" for cultivating agricultural technology talents
On the door of an office on the second floor of the Longxi Town Agricultural Service Center, there is such a sign - "Tian Honggang Agronomic Innovation Studio", which is a talent studio built by the Longxi Town Party Committee. Through the integration of provincial and municipal science and technology commissioners, county-level linked agricultural technician resources, the town implements the "mentor system", and continuously strengthens the cultivation of agricultural technology talents with the model of "chief expert (researcher) + provincial, municipal and county experts + agricultural technology backbone + local experts in the town".
In between work, Tian Honggang gave lessons to farmers whenever he was free, and even held live lectures on agricultural technology through online platforms such as DingTalk. In the class, he not only talked about disease prevention and control, but also talked about the new trend of agricultural development and some of his own experiences. Because of the novel and down-to-earth content, farmers are willing to come to the class.
Sun Songjun is a farmer in the Red Army community in Longxi Township, and he has contracted 300 acres of land in the community to grow apples and peaches. In the past two years, Sun Songjun has mastered the planting skills of fruit trees by participating in Tian Honggang's lectures, and has grown into a "soil expert" in agricultural technology.
While continuously cultivating practical talents in rural areas, Tian Honggang also continuously strengthened the training of agricultural technology cadres through the method of "classroom teaching + on-site training", and increased the efforts to unveil the list and lead the management of agricultural demonstration sites. At present, Longxi Town has cultivated a total of 2 deputy high professional title agricultural technicians, 5 intermediate professional title agricultural technicians, 2 agricultural technicians have been awarded the province's first batch of assessment of agricultural technical personnel and team praise for encouraging agricultural technical personnel innovation and entrepreneurship action, Longxi Town Agricultural Service Center was rated as a national five-star township agricultural technology extension institution and the city's advanced collective of agricultural modernization.
