Zhuanglang is dry and rainy, and underground resources are scarce, but the deep yellow land is a dominant apple production area, and the development of potato and cattle industries also has unique advantages. In recent years, relying on natural conditions and agricultural resources, Zhuanglang County has based on the terraced xingxing industry, with the goal of creating characteristic agricultural products, and has successively cultivated and formed the "Three Treasures of Zhuanglang" - three major industries of apples, potatoes and cattle, and has been identified as "China's high-quality apple production base", "national leisure agriculture demonstration county" and beef cattle breeding demonstration area.
The red terraced apples are intoxicating

In recent years, Zhuanglang County has paid close attention to the development positioning of green organic industries, built a high-quality fruit base, improved the market-oriented marketing system, and the apple industry has made great progress, and the income of fruit farmers has increased year by year. At present, the county has built 79,000 mu of organic apple demonstration areas in 5 townships such as Shuiluo, Zhudian and Wanquan in the southwest, and 141,000 mu of terraced ecological apple demonstration areas in 5 townships in the northwest, including Wolong, Nanhu and Zhaodun.
Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the early ripening apple picking period. Walking into Wanquan Town, the main apple producing area of Zhuanglang County, looking around, in the layers of terraced fields, the golden fruit branches are beautiful and the fruit aroma is overflowing. "My family planted 2 acres of 'Golden Handsome' early ripening apples, earning 10,000 yuan." In the fruit harvesting area of Xingluyuan Fruit and Vegetable Co., Ltd. in Wanquan Town, Zhang Lianxue, a villager in Machuan Village, was busy weighing the scales while loading baskets.

"Early-ripening apples have been on the market for half a month, during the 'double festival', customer demand is large, but customers have booked in advance, we have no results." Ma Fanxin, a villager in Machuan Village, Wanquan Town, the head of the company, said: "Next, we buy late-ripening Fuji, fresh goods, warehousing and grasping both hands. ”
Wanquan Town is one of the apple growing areas in Zhuanglang County, relying on the natural advantages of terraces, the apples produced are of good quality and favored by dealers around the world.

Wanquan Town is a microcosm of the development of the Apple Industry in Zhuanglang.
At present, the Zhuanglang apple industry has realized the development path of fruit industry with standardized cultivation, organic promotion, commercial production, mechanization and brand sales.

"Ten mountains and nine slopes, ploughed land with cattle, yellow clothes worn, and relief grain eaten" is a true portrayal of the past life of the Zhuanglang people.
Potato cultivation was once a traditional industry in Zhuanglang County to solve the problem of food and clothing for farmers. Nowadays, "small potatoes" not only help the people of Zhuanglang get rid of poverty, but also become a pillar industry of Zhuanglang County's economy, and the "Zhuang potato" brand has become well-known.
What is the fast-rising password?
"The development of the industry is inseparable from the support of technology and the renewal of varieties." Su Xiaolong, director of the Yongning Breeding Station in Zhuanglang County and senior agronomist, said.

In order to improve the efficiency and quality of original potato breeding, reduce production costs and resource occupation. In 2016, Zhuanglang County introduced the world's advanced level of "fog cultivation" production technology from the Asia-Pacific Center of the International Potato Center, which can increase the single-plant potato of detoxified bottle seedlings by more than 30-40 times compared with traditional matrix cultivation, realize the standardization, automation and large-scale production of detoxified seed potato breeding, inject a dose of "cardiotonic agent" into the transformation and upgrading of potatoes, and usher in another "spring" for the development of the Potato industry in Zhuanglang.
"This 'fog cultivation method for detoxified seed potato production' technology, early maturing varieties of potatoes from seedlings to potatoes take only 40 to 50 days at the earliest, medium and late ripening is generally 60 to 70 days, and 2 to 3 stubble can be harvested a year." He Xiaoxia, a technician at the Zhuanglang Potato Detoxification Seed Potato Breeding Center, said.
Planting potatoes has written a strong stroke for the revitalization of the countryside in Zhuanglang County.
This year, Zhuanglang County adheres to the implementation of the three-year multiplication action plan for the advantageous characteristic industries of modern Silk Road cold and drought agriculture as the general starting point, highlighting the scale, base, science and technology, and order-based, effectively promoting the extension of the whole chain of the potato industry, comprehensively improving industrial efficiency, and consolidating the effective connection between the results of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.
Bottles of newly bred potato seedlings
At present, Zhuanglang County has produced 7.32 million "Zhuang potato" series of potato detoxification bottle seedlings, 9.47 million original seeds, seed potato breeding reached 250,000 mu, and potato detoxified seed potato coverage rate of 100%, and has formed a potato detoxification seed potato breeding promotion system of "detoxified seedlings - original original seeds - original seeds - primary seeds - secondary seeds". Potato seed potatoes are exported to qinghai, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and other provinces and regions of the main potato production areas.
Breeding potato varieties
Seeds are the "chips" of agriculture and the foundation of agricultural modernization. "Breeding is the foundation of the development of the potato industry, and whether the potato variety is good or not determines the farmer's income." In the future, our scientific research team will cultivate more fine seeds and boost our county to a new level of rural revitalization. Su Xiaolong said. At present, the new 2020 self-bred potato strains "Zhuang 13-8-61", "Zhuang 12-14-21" and "Zhuang 13-5-21" are participating in regional trials.
A Red Bull Raises Farmers to "Live Bank"
Raised cattle, entered the stock, and became a "breeder" in the farm in front of his home... Li Shicheng, a 55-year-old villager in Hanggou Village, Shuiluo Town, Zhuanglang County, has a very comfortable life, "Raising cattle earns more than 2,000 yuan a month, and the cows put into the county agricultural development company are invested in the county agricultural development company, and each cow has a fixed dividend of 700 yuan per year, with a annual income of nearly 30,000 yuan, and it feels like there is a 'living bank'." ”
Zhuang Lang cattle fat
In Zhuanglang, like Li Shicheng, there are many villagers who have benefited from the development of the cattle industry.
In recent years, Zhuanglang County has vigorously developed the cattle industry, focusing on the construction of six major systems of breeding, epidemic prevention, forage, processing, branding and marketing, adhering to the combination of centralized breeding and free range breeding of farmers, and striving to achieve the expansion of the beef cattle industry, quality and efficiency.

"Pingliang Red Bull is more than 20% higher than the price of other cattle, favored by customers, orders are also endless, under the impetus of the Zhuanglang model, the development of Pingliang Red Bull is growing." Dong Yuanqi, director of the beef cattle farm of Hanggou Nongfa Company in Shuiluo Town, said: "After three years of unremitting efforts, at present, the breeding volume of Pingliang Red Bull has reached 400 heads and 165 calves. ”
