Through land circulation, Hengshan District revitalizes land resources, optimizes the structure of human resources, vigorously develops the mountain apple industry, and establishes an industrial development model of "base + farmer". As fruit trees continue to bear fruit, the economic benefits are gradually highlighted, attracting more growers to participate. On the loess slopes, between the wide terraces, fruit trees as the dominant industry of local advantages are more and more valued, and the fruit trees full of mountains and fields are both green and rich.
Now it is the early autumn season, the fruit trees that have entered the full fruit period are already fruitful, after the autumn wind blows, the apples gradually blush, one by one, bunches hidden between the green leaves, under the background of each other, making the apples more attractive.
In recent years, with the strategic pace of "expanding north and west" apple industry in Shaanxi Province, how to improve industrial quality and efficiency by promoting the development of mountain apples has also become an important measure for Shiyaogou to cultivate advantageous leading industries and promote farmers in fruit areas to become rich and well-off. Then as early as 2011, the Shiyaogou Convenience Service Center insisted on the "bring in, go out" approach to guide local fruit farmers to participate in large-scale and scientific mountain apple planting. Now ten years have passed, and the local fruit trees have reached more than 10,000 mu, and the fruit trees that have entered the full fruit stage have also reached more than 7,000 mu.
Han Shi'e, a grower in Yongchang Village, Shiyaogou Convenience Service Center in Hengshan District, said: "The drought is relatively serious, but we have taken some measures, fertilizing, weeding, using lawn mowers to mow grass, and then we ourselves used drip irrigation, drip irrigation and watering to water about 2,000 tons of water, watered very well, and then rained again, this fruit looks good, the fruit is quite large." ”
Hengshan District is located in the hilly and gully area of the Loess Plateau, with a large temperature difference between day and night, high altitude and no pollution, and is a suitable habitat and eugenic area for high-quality mountain apples. The locally produced apple is also loved by the local and surrounding people for its sweet, large and juicy taste. At present, through policy guidance, growers have planted 142,000 mu of mountain apples, with a fruit hanging area of 94,000 mu, and the annual output of apples is 72,000-73,000 tons, with an output value of about 152 million.
Zhu Xuhui, director of the Shiyaogou Convenience Service Center in Hengshan District, said: "In recent years, our Shiyaogou office has taken advantage of our advantages in the apple eugenics area to vigorously guide the masses to plant mountain fruits, at present, the amount of mountain apples we run is about 17,000 mu, and the area of hanging fruits this year has reached more than 7,000 mu. Lead our fruit farmers to study in the field, invite excellent fruit tree technical experts from other places to come in, teach on the spot, in the project we mainly carry out this strong support, this method is to go to the water, drip irrigation, like this orchard, we last year's drip irrigation, this year, in the year of the great drought carried out three times of watering, the loss of fruit trees to the minimum, basically no loss. The third is to support sales, so we take the model of order agriculture, such as this cooperation with Huaneng Group, to send our high-quality apples to thousands of households. ”
