Recently, Xin Meier visited the watermelon planting base in Shiling Village, Longma Town, and saw that the greenhouse was full of greenery, and the vines were full of round and full watermelons.
The round size and well-proportioned green skin make a crisp sound when you pat it, which is mouth-watering.
According to reports, these watermelons are the first stubble melons, and they have been listed one after another.
"In order to improve the quality of watermelon, only one fruit is retained for each melon seedling, and the average weight of a watermelon after maturity is 4-4.5 kilograms, and the estimated yield per mu is about 3500-4000 kilograms." Grower Li Bo said.

Li Bo, 37, a native of Neijiang, Sichuan, has been engaged in watermelon cultivation since he was 18 years old, accumulating experience and learning techniques.
In 2019, Li Bo began to transfer 110 acres of land in Shiling Village for large-scale planting. This year marks his 18th year of growing watermelons.

"Since May 9, it has been listed, and about 7,500 kilograms have to be sold to Neijiang, Jianyang and other parts of the province every day, and the benefits are okay. It is expected that by the end of May, all the watermelons will be sold out. Thanks to his years of cultivation experience, Li Bo is very confident in the quality of his watermelons.
"We don't have to worry about the sales of watermelons, and customers will choose me after comparison."
The large-scale planting of watermelons not only allowed Li Bo to obtain industrial income, but also drove the surrounding villagers to increase their income on the spot.
It is reported that there are more than 30 villagers working in the base all year round, and the resident workers can get a salary of about 15,000 yuan a year.
Villagers
