What are the advantages of interplanting vegetables in mulberry garden in winter? A case of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich

In recent years, the mulberry garden interplanting vegetables in winter has become popular, because the mulberry garden is generally used only in May-October every year, and it is often abandoned there from November to April of the following year, which not only wastes land but also requires no economic income. So more and more sericulturists began to try this model. What are the advantages of interplanting vegetables in mulberry garden in winter? Are there any cases of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich?

First, the advantage of interplanting vegetables in mulberry garden in winter

1. It is beneficial to the winter management of mulberry garden.

Mulberry interplanting is beneficial to the winter management of mulberry garden. The silkworm farmers fertilized the intercropped vegetables, ploughed and loosened the soil, weeded and drained the ditches, and also strengthened the winter management of mulberry, which not only helped to increase the soil fertility and soil permeability of mulberry, but also helped to eliminate mulberry overwintering pests and create favorable conditions for mulberry growth. In addition, in order to facilitate the management of interplanting crops, silkworm farmers also increased the pruning and pruning of mulberry trees to make the mulberry tree type more scientific and reasonable; after the harvest was completed before the end of April next year, the residual stems, stems, stems and old leaves were all buried in the mulberry garden as green manure, which was beneficial to increase the organic fertilizer in the mulberry garden.

2. Save labor

Mulberry interplanting is a three-dimensional ecological planting model which makes use of mulberry resources and free labor to increase the output value of mulberry per unit area and increase the income of silkworm farmers. It can make full use of light, heat, water and other resources, and form a pattern of multi-species coexistence, multi-level allocation and multi-level resource cycle transformation, and achieve good ecological and social benefits. For example, interplanting mustard in mulberry garden can produce about 2000 kilograms per mu, and the income per mu of mulberry can be increased by 1200 yuan per kilogram.

3. Improve the utilization rate of land

Mulberry interplanting also makes full use of land resources and light resources. Mulberry interplanting is generally sown or transplanted in the first ten days of November and harvested in early April at the latest. Not only do they not compete for land with mulberry trees, but also cooperate with each other and promote each other to achieve a greater increase in income. Interplanting vegetables from transplanting to the eve of harvest happens to be the dormant season of mulberry. During the whole growing period, there are basically no leaves on mulberry branches, good light intensity and high light energy efficiency in mulberry garden. Moreover, because the residue after harvest such as vegetables can be pressed into green manure, it not only improves the soil fertility and saves the input cost of mulberry fertilizer, but also does not cause pollution to the mulberry garden because no pesticides are used in the whole process. what's more, it will not affect the sericulture in the following year, and the social benefits are also very significant.

2. a case of interplanting vegetables in mulberry garden in winter to get rid of poverty and become rich

Interplanting vegetables in mulberry garden can not only increase income, but also retain migrant villagers. " Recently, at the sericulture popular science demonstration base in Shuanglong Village, Zhuoshui Town, Qianjiang District, Chongqing, Su Haiyan began to talk with the author while weeding.

Shuanglong Village is located on the west half slope of Zhuoshui ancient town. Su Haiyan began to plant mulberry and sericulture in 2005, and the mulberry area has changed from 14 mu to 300 mu now. For more than 10 years, she turned Ssangyong's "barren mountain" into "Sanghai". In 2014, she was rated as the "leader of popular science in rural areas" by Chongqing.

After the end of silkworm rearing in late autumn, the local government actively guided silkworm farmers to make full use of the favorable opportunity of mulberry winter dormancy to interplant vegetables under mulberry to improve the comprehensive benefit of mulberry.

"in 2015, sericulture bases interplanted vegetables such as green vegetables, cabbages and children's vegetables, with a sales income of 210000 yuan. At the same time, it has also led 19 poor households to increase their income by planting vegetables and solved the seasonal employment of more than 20 left-behind villagers. " Looking at the 100 mu of vegetables interplanted in front of her, Su Haiyan said with a smile.

It is understood that mulberry interplanting can increase income by about 1000 yuan per mu, greatly improving economic benefits. Before and after interplanting, weeding, loosening soil and fertilization are helpful to eliminate overwintering pests. After the vegetables are harvested, burying the old leaves into the mulberry garden will help to increase the organic fertilizer in the mulberry garden and improve the soil fertility structure. The benefits of mulberry interplanting can be described as "a lot of baskets".
