Xiao Yongxian: Xinxing's "King of plums" technology produces the fruit of getting rich.

Plums blossom for thousands of miles and enjoy the flowers in spring. Shazi Street Office, which enjoys the reputation of "the hometown of hollow plums in China", ushered in the season of plum blossoms in this sunny March. The reason why such plum blossoms are in full bloom is inseparable from the hard irrigation of hollow plum growers. In the Shazi Street Office, there is such a grower who is at the helm of the Xinxing Li Wang Farmers' Cooperative, named by the China Association of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance as the "Advanced Unit of the National Science Popularization Hewlett Farmer New Village." he is Xiao Yongxian, a big grower of hollow plums.

"King of plums" Xiao Yongxian

In June 2016, the science and technology association of Yanhe Autonomous County approved the establishment of Xinxing Li Wang Science Popularization demonstration Base in Yanhe Tujia Autonomous County, which was named "National Science Popularization Huinong New Village Advanced Unit" by China Association of Science and Technology and Ministry of Finance. In addition, all kinds of agricultural lectures and awards in other cities and counties have his figure and honor.

Last year alone, Xinxing Li Wang Farmers' specialized Cooperative produced 210 tons of hollow plums with an output value of more than 3 million yuan, with an annual income of 2 million yuan and a per capita income of 28000 yuan. The scale of the base has reached 1030 mu.

Study hard and practice hard to become a master grower.

After getting off the highway at Shazi Street Office in Yanhe Autonomous County, the car finally stopped in a three-story courtyard after passing through the rural cement road with seven turns and eight bends, and came to the hollow Li base of Xiao Yongxian, a large hollow plum grower in Zipan Village, Sandy Street.

Xiao Yongxian, a native sand man, has a strong body and swarthy skin, and his eyes squint into a line when he smiles, highlighting the simplicity and honesty of farmers. Xiao Yongxian told the reporter that through self-study and local hollow plum growers to learn hollow plum planting skills, initial contact with the scientific system of fruit planting agronomic technology. Because willing to learn, studious, love to study, deeply loved by Wenjian, but also mastered excellent agronomic skills, and hollow plum formed an inextricable bond.

When I look back on the past, I have tasted all the ups and downs. At the end of July 2012, when a large number of his hollow plums were on the market, Xiao Yongxian found that several plum trees in the orchard were sick and had curly leaves. In the four or five days after the discovery of this symptom, more than 1000 plum trees in the orchard were dying and had a tendency to spread.

"more than 3000 of my fruit trees died that year, not to mention the economic losses. I carefully raised those fruit trees for six or seven years before they grew so big, and it hurts to think of them." Xiao Yongxian told the reporter with lingering fear.

Xiao Yongxian manages the plum garden

In order to find out the cause of death of the hollow plum tree and reduce the loss. Xiao Yongxian went to county and city agricultural technology departments overnight to consult experts to explore rescue methods. Finally, the cause was found with the help of many experts from the Institute of Fruit Tree Science, Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and summed up a set of experience for hollow plum to prevent diseases, which was popularized in other hollow plum planting villages.

The quality is good, the taste is excellent, the supply exceeds the demand.

Xiao Yongxian's achievements are not due to his luck, but through hard study and continuous practice. As early as 2006, Xiao Yongxian insisted on improving the hanging fruit of hollow plums, optimizing the quality of hollow plums, creating a high-quality hollow plum brand, and providing popular science materials and technical services for the purpose of registering the trademark of "Li Yuan Wang". In conjunction with experts from Guizhou Fruit Institute and Zhejiang University to increase investment in science popularization, constantly innovate the mechanism of science popularization, carry out the cultivation of high-quality hollow plums, install 10 solar energy insecticidal lamps and 18000 biological insecticidal yellow boards. Through a series of practices, it is proved that it is right to believe that science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Xiao Yong checked the flowering first.

After tasting the benefits of science, since 2006, Xiao Yong first gave up his original practice of growing watermelons on his 10 mu of hollow plum woodland, and instead contracted more than 300 mu of land on the mountain behind the village, specializing in planting hollow plums, and incidentally developing a small amount of under-forest chicken farming, bringing himself an annual income of 400 to 500,000 yuan. In 2012, Xinxing Li Wang Farmers' Professional Cooperative was established, which focuses on "pollution-free fruit tree production technology" and continues to carry out scientific and technological demonstration training and technical exchanges.

Now, Xiao Yongxian has spent more than NT $2 million to improve the hollow plum irrigation system and build a mountain pond water cellar, using scientific methods to ensure that hollow plum trees have adequate water and nutrition at all times during the growing and fruit-hanging periods (under natural disasters such as drought and rainy weather). His entire base presents the original ecological pollution-free model management, hollow plum mature later than other places in the sand, the taste is different from other places.

With the scientific management of the orchard, the output of hollow plums in his family is improved and the quality is greatly guaranteed at the same time. Many people come to his house to buy plums every year.

"when the workers pick, I will remind them to classify and load the baskets. You can't deceive customers with inferior quality. All the hollow plums I have here are basically sold out without leaving the base. " Xiao Yongxian said proudly that hollow plums sell well, in addition to scientific management, rely on integrity. Every season when plums are on the market, his parking lot of more than 1000 square meters is full of cars that come to buy hollow plums. Four or five thousand jin of fresh fruit are sold every day.

Open up markets outside the province and lead more people to become rich

During the interview, the reporter learned that Xiao Yong began to learn agronomic technology as soon as he graduated, and he did not forget the sand land where he was born and raised after his family became rich.

In recent years, he has set up five science popularization propaganda columns, carried out 35 technical training, organized 19 science popularization lectures, received 4116 training, sent 54 kinds of technical materials, and sent a total of more than 6200 copies, training a total of 429 hollow Li science popularization demonstration households and 2450 radiation-driven peasant households, greatly promoting the income of 5058 people around the base.

When asked about Xiao Yongxian's future plans, he told the reporter proudly and confidently that after years of hard work, he already had a certain economic and networking foundation, and was prepared to use the remaining money to contract again to plant hollow plums in mountainous areas, and to use contacts outside the province to establish a hollow plum market outside the province. "I'm going to learn more skills from agrotechnical experts to improve the scientific and technological content of hollow plums. Recommend their own brand to more people, enhance market influence, and better lead more villagers to get rich. " Xiao Yongxian said.
