Experts say that farmers water vegetables with manure and there are many viruses. Zeng Yi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an interview: Their farmers use manure to water vegetables, and there are many viruses. In the interview, he also made a comparison with Western countries, saying that Western countries do not use manure to water the ground.
"Counting up three generations, which family hasn't eaten a dish that has been watered with manure?"
Agricultural production methods have been widely concerned and hotly discussed by all sectors of society. In a public interview, Zeng Yi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, harshly criticized the long-standing fertilization practices of farmers in rural areas.
According to Academician Zeng Yi, rural farmers usually directly sprinkle fresh animal manure in vegetable fields or crop fields as a natural fertilizer.
However, Academician Zeng Yi believes that this primitive practice has serious health risks, because feces contain a large number of viruses and harmful microorganisms, which are very likely to cause adverse effects on human health.
To add to the persuasiveness of his arguments, he also looked abroad, contrasting them with the agricultural production methods of Western countries.
He stressed that in developed countries, farmers never use fresh manure directly for fertilization, because people there understand how risky this practice is.
In addition to this academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, another expert also expressed his opinion on the same issue. The expert bluntly said that the vast majority of agricultural products currently sold on the market use human and animal manure as fertilizer without exception.
Due to the viruses and bacteria in the feces, the consumption of these agricultural products undoubtedly poses a great potential threat to human health. For this reason, the expert does not recommend continuing with the traditional methods of agricultural production, which have a long history.
In the face of such harsh accusations from such authoritative figures, people can't help but have unprecedented doubts about the safety of long-term consumption of farm products.
Some recall that they grew up eating produce grown up with farm manure and never had any health problems.
However, as soon as the experts' words came out, people immediately became worried about the seemingly ordinary vegetables on the table, for fear that the health of themselves and their families would be seriously damaged.
This point of view also immediately sparked a heated discussion online.
Some believe in the authoritative opinion of experts and say that the traditional way of making fertilizer from manure should not be abolished altogether. Others argue that fertilization methods, while long-standing, are not without their benefits.
In fact, manure does contain a large amount of organic matter that is beneficial to the growth of crops, and the key lies in how to use it scientifically and ferment it.
There are also some neutral people who say that they do not completely reject traditional practices, nor do they accept them all, and hope that on the basis of respecting tradition, they can learn from and adopt more hygienic and safe modern agricultural techniques.
So the question is, should we abandon the use of manure in the field?
