Since entering the summer, Zhenyuan County has seized the favorable solar terms for the temperature to rise, and the field machinery shuttles, manpower cooperates, deep ploughing and mulching, transplanting seedlings, and technical services follow up on the site, and a vigorous picture of busy agricultural production and full industrial vitality has come into view......
In mid-May, Xinji Town, Zhenyuan County, is full of sunshine, verdant grass and trees, and full of vitality. Walking into the vegetable planting base of 1,000 acres of modern facilities in Xinzhuang Village, as far as the eye can see, the pepper seedlings are verdant, fragrant, and refreshing.
Workers are picking up mature seedlings, packing them into boxes, and preparing them for shipment to various towns and villages.
"At present, it is the seedling period of pigment pepper, and the daily labor volume of the base is about 150 people, mainly for the local and surrounding township people, and the piecework is adopted, and more work is more." Sun Weimin, the head of the base, said that the average daily wage of workers is between 150 and 200 yuan.
"Recently, the family has basically finished working on the farm, and I just took advantage of the farm slack to work at the base, which is really convenient and increases income." Liu Chengxing, a villager of the Liu He Group in Xinzhuang Village, said happily.
In order to improve the efficiency of seedling raising and the quality of seedlings, the base has built a digital and intelligent seedling center integrating automatic control of temperature, humidity, light, water, fertilizer and gas, cultivating 120 million high-quality pepper seedlings, nearly half a month earlier than in previous years.
This year, 30,000 acres of pigment pepper seedlings in Zhenyuan County were transplanted in early May. In order to cultivate and expand the pigment pepper industry, Zhenyuan County relies on the vegetable planting base of 1,000 acres of modern facilities and 10,000 tons of fruit and vegetable processing plant in Xinji Town, and drives the efficient planting and high-quality development of pigment pepper in the county through the integrated business model of "production, service and marketing" of unified seedling, unified guidance, unified acquisition, unified processing and unified sales. It is reported that the average output of chili pepper per mu is 1,600 kilograms, which is purchased at a guaranteed price of 2.4 yuan/kg, and the income per mu is about 4,000 yuan.
In view of the relatively abundant rainfall in summer, Zhenyuan County does not wait or rely on the advantages of resource endowment, and actively organizes the masses to carry out marigold transplanting work in an orderly manner.
In the field, according to the needs of the masses, the majority of agricultural technicians will do a good job in marigold moisture, transplanting, fertilization, watering, soil cultivation and other links, and provide on-site technical guidance to ensure that the masses plant a piece, survive a piece, and harvest a piece.
"The people who are willing to plant are constantly improving their requirements for marigolds planting technology, and we also respond to the needs of the masses in a timely manner and actively help them solve technical problems." Xu Yanyan, a technician at the Zhenyuan Agricultural Technology Center, said that with the continuous accumulation of experience in planting marigolds, the expectations of the people who have tasted the sweetness of planting quality and yield are also constantly improving.
In order to guide the masses to plant marigolds scientifically, the Zhenyuan County Agricultural Technology Center not only sent technical personnel to provide on-site technical guidance, but also coordinated with the township technicians to supervise the whole process of marigold seedlings from seedling to planting, so as to ensure that the seedlings meet the standards, the quantity is sufficient and the quality is high, and the planting mode is standardized and unified.
Up to now, Zhenyuan County has reserved more than 10,000 acres of marigold planting plots, 22 million seedlings, 70 tons of mulch, 50,000 bags of foliar fertilizer, 20,000 bags of fungicides, and 8,320 acres of marigolds have been transplanted.
At the same time, in order to "cultivate a team of high-quality farmers who are educated, understand technology, are good at management and can manage, Zhenyuan County relies on the county agricultural school to take the initiative to innovate service methods, change service concepts, and actively play the main role of high-quality farmers.
This year, Zhenyuan County Agricultural and Broadcasting School has successively set up two major information modules, "Zhenyuan Agricultural and Broadcasting Information" and "Zhenyuan Agricultural and Broadcasting Service", using platforms such as "Zhenyuan Three Rural Areas" and Gansu "Three Rural Online", combined with mobile phone text messages, to comprehensively carry out high-quality farmers' education quality improvement actions.
"In particular, in cooperation with China Mobile Communications Company, we signed a text message push agreement to collect agricultural and rural information, combined with farmers' needs and agricultural time, meteorological services, geological disasters and other information, and timely and accurately pushed them to farmers through mobile phone text messages, which solves the problem of farmers grasping the last kilometer of agricultural information in the first time." Xu Wanli, principal of Zhenyuan County Agricultural and Guang School, said.
It is reported that focusing on the goal of stabilizing the production and supply of grain and oil, and doubling the five leading industries of broilers, grass and livestock, vegetables, apples and Chinese medicinal materials in three years, the county has set up 22 professional training courses for the chairman of cooperatives, animal disease prevention and control, melon and vegetable production, meat sheep breeding, beef cattle breeding, apple production, etc., and has trained a total of 2,040 high-quality farmers.
