Funing: successful trial planting of No-tillage Potato in Yulin Village

In the field of Yulin Village Group of Naping Village Committee, Xinhua Town, Funing County, the author saw that the 50 mu no-tillage potato planting test model was growing satisfactorily, and the average yield per mu was 1543 kg measured by the technicians of the county agro-technical extension center. the no-tillage potato planting technology has been successful in Funing trial.

The cultivation technique of no-tillage potato means that after the previous harvest, the seed potato is directly placed on the soil surface without ploughing and harrowing, covered with farm manure or fine soil, and at the same time, chemical fertilizer is applied between the two rows of seed potato, and then covered with straw and other materials. matching appropriate fertilization and management measures, until the harvest of a cost-saving light high-yield and high-efficiency cultivation technique. In recent years, this technology has been popularized in many counties such as Guangxi Autonomous region, with a wide adaptability, with a yield of between 2000 and 4500 kilograms per mu. Compared with the conventional planting method, the no-tillage planting technology saves labor and labor, is easy to operate and easy to manage, and can save labor for 8 to 10 days per mu and save about 300 yuan in labor cost. At the same time, it can be harvested with bare hands without harming the flesh of potatoes, so it is easy to sell and sell at a good price. "set it up and put out new technology; cover it with a good harvest; pick it up and find it sweet in your heart." This is the real feeling of farmers who benefit from the promotion of no-tillage potato technology.

In order to solve the problems of scattered fields, many small plots, the difficulty of machine farming and the prominent contradiction of agricultural production in winter, the county agriculture bureau introduced this technology to plant 50 mu of farmland in Yulin village. Although the experimental model was affected by Frosts Descent and freezing rain disaster weather for more than 30 days more than a month later than the planting festival and at the beginning of the year, a good harvest with an average yield of 1543 kg per mu was still obtained. The success of trial planting will play a positive role in promoting and promoting the planting of potatoes on a large scale in the county. To this end, our county will arrange for each township to promote 500 mu this winter, and double it year by year, in order to drive farmers in the county to make use of winter idle fields to develop and strengthen the potato industry.
