Agricultural cultivation of "scarce things are precious" crystal ice vegetables

Crystal ice vegetables: also known as ice vegetables, ice grass, icicles. It is found in Africa, West Asia and Europe. It is characterized by a large number of large vesicular cells growing on the leaf surface and stem, filled with liquid, which reflects light under the sun's illumination, like ice crystals, hence the name iceplant. Ice leaf day flower is a class of saline plants that can grow on the coast, and the liquid of the vesicular cells contains salt, so it has some salty taste when eaten. It is eaten as a vegetable in some parts of Europe, and now it has also been introduced to China. Ice cream is rich in highly functional substances such as amino acids and acidifying substances. The sour taste in ice vegetables is the sour taste of natural apples, and is rich in minerals such as sodium, potassium, and carotene, condensing one of the characteristics of cabbage, cabbage, lettuce, etc., and is a vegetable with high nutritional value. The appearance is somewhat similar to artemisia annua, but it is covered with "ice beads", which are hard and cool to touch with your hands, so it is also called "ice grass".

The phrase "scarce things are precious" is most appropriately used on ice vegetables. Ice vegetables are native to Africa and have only begun to be introduced to China in recent years. Ice vegetables are planted relatively small in China, and it can only grow in an environment below 30 ° C, so it is difficult to find its presence in the southern provinces. At present, the ice vegetables in the market in the region mainly rely on the transfer from the north. Ice vegetables are born with disease and pest resistance genes that are stronger than other vegetables, so in their growth process, they do not need to spray pesticides, and only need to apply a small amount of fertilizer to grow healthily. This is also the reason why it can be eaten directly, and because of this, it has won the reputation of a green vegetable.

First, the benefit analysis:

Ice vegetables need to be planted in greenhouses, and the ordinary greenhouses need to invest about 40,000 yuan in 2 acres of land; the set of steel pipe sheds in the greenhouses, 2 acres need to invest 6,000 yuan, The total input cost of 2 mu of sheds is 46,000 yuan, depreciated by 5 years, and the annual depreciation fee per mu is about 4,600 yuan; the purchase of seeds is 4,000 yuan per mu (30,000 seeds in two seasons); the fertilizer is mainly farm manure, with a small amount of chemical fertilizer, 1,000 yuan per mu; the amount of pesticides is very small, 200 yuan per mu; the water and electricity bill is 200 yuan, the land rent is 1,000 yuan per year, and other costs are 400 yuan, excluding labor costs, and the annual input cost is 11,400 yuan. Plant two seasons of ice vegetables every year, spring per mu can harvest 2500 kg of fresh vegetables, autumn harvest 2000 kg of fresh vegetables per mu, annual harvest of 4500 kg of fresh vegetables, the current market price per kilogram of ice vegetables is 15 ~ 20 yuan, wholesale price of 10 ~ 15 yuan, according to the average wholesale price of 12.5 yuan, the annual planting of two seasons of ice vegetables can get 56,250 yuan income. The output value per mu is 56,250 yuan, minus the cost of 11,400 yuan, the net income per mu is 44,850 yuan, and the income from planting 2 mu of ice vegetables is 89,700 yuan.

Second, the project advantages:

1, ice vegetables come with disease and pest resistance genes are stronger than other vegetables, so they can be eaten directly without spraying pesticides.

2, people's demand for "functional health vegetables" is increasing.

3, ice vegetables have high nutritional value, and the market is not common, so the market development space is huge.
