Grape planting: what are the prospects for grape cultivation? How long is the grape planting time? is it profitable to grow grapes?

Zhu Zihui and several fruit growers are pruning vines for grapes on June 1.

   in the past, most young people in rural areas chose to go out to work. Nowadays, with the introduction of the national policy to benefit farmers, many rural young people who work hard outside choose to go back to their hometown to start their own businesses. Zhu Zihui of Zhugang Village, Yangping Town, Dawu County is one of them.

   in 2003, Zhu Zihui and his wife successively came to Guangdong to work. "in 10 years, I have worked for four companies." At first, as a worker, his salary was only about 850 yuan, but later it rose to 1500 yuan. By the time he reached the third company, he was already a middle manager with a monthly salary of more than 5000 yuan.

   "working outside is always for others, and the longer you stay, the more you want to start a business." Zhu Zihui said that seeing that many fields in his hometown are empty and the income per mu is no more than 1,000 yuan, it is really a waste. If you choose a good project, the yellow land can also grow "golden fruit."

Just do it when    says so. In August 2013, Zhu Zihui returned to his hometown with his wife and transferred 10 mu of wasteland in Zhugang Village, Yangping Town. Open up wasteland, measure distance, loosen soil, plant, and build vineyards in an orderly way.

It is always hard for    to start a business. Although the project is good, technology is the king. Zhu Zihui went to other places to study many times, and there were only two boxes of books for growing grapes at home. At first, he dared not plant it on a large scale, but studied and tried it again and again in the experimental field. As the planting method is relatively new, the nearby villagers laughed that he was "fooling around".

   to 2016, Zhu Zihui planted the grapes gradually hanging fruit, looking at the branches of the increasingly mature grapes, he thought: efforts will eventually be rewarded. When the grapes were ripe and ready to be picked, severe floods ravaged the village and more than 5000 kilograms of grapes in the vineyard were washed away overnight.

   's painstaking efforts of more than three years were destroyed at once, coupled with cash flow difficulties, Zhu Zihui almost gave up. At this time, some financial institutions in the county helped him tide over the difficulties, and he began a new round of planting plan. This time, all the planting links are done by Zhu Zihui and his wife.

   June 1, the reporter walked into the grape planting base of Zhugang Village, the leaves are bright green, a bunch of grapes have been basically formed, Zhu Zihui and several fruit farmers are pruning tidbits to ensure that the appearance of grapes after fruit setting is standard. Zhu Zihui told us that the grapes sold on the market are very tight, squeezed together, and some are relatively loose. If the grapes are pruned and reshaped in time during the grape growing period, this situation can be changed.

   "June is the key period for grape growth. By fixing branches, the space between grape branches is wider, which is conducive to uniform absorption of light, air circulation and prevention of diseases and insect pests." Speaking of grape cultivation, Zhu Zihui opened the chatterbox.

   because of excellent grape varieties, coupled with eco-organic planting methods, Zhu Zihui's vineyard has gradually embarked on the road of large-scale and modern cultivation, and the area of the vineyard has also changed from 10 mu to more than 150mu now. this year, there are more than 30 mu of fruit picking, and the net income is expected to reach 150000 yuan. With the expansion of planting area, it absorbs nearly 30 people to work nearby every year.

In the next step of   , Zhu Zihui plans to build a new steel greenhouse to expand the scale, drive more people to plant grapes, and make grapes the "rich fruit" of his hometown.
