Tieling, Liaoning Province: ten years' Seedling situation of the Reed Navy

Lutun Village, Kaishan Town, Tieling City, Lu Navy operates more than 40 mu of Juglans mandshurica seedling base, from the age of 19 to working in the town, to seeing the opportunity to engage in seedling planting, and then to developing its own seedling base to become a major seedling grower. He has been working hard for 10 years. "these 10 years are not only the 10 years of hard struggle, but also the 10 years of continuous learning. The seedling market is rapidly changing, the planting cycle of seedlings is long, and the varieties are not well selected, so it is easy to stumble. " The Reed Navy said.

What are the characteristics of Juglans mandshurica, which are different from seedling varieties such as dense branch red leaf plum and cold fragrant rose? In the face of the low temperature in the northeast, especially in bare land, what do we need to pay attention to? Nowadays, the Lu Navy talks about these seedling knowledge and planting experience. In the first two years, he worked for others, mastered a lot of seedling planting skills, and accumulated a wealth of planting experience. at that time, the sale of seedlings in the town was "hot." with practical experience and start-up capital, he contracted the land and began to work alone. Large trees and small shrubs have been planted. Before entering the seedling planting industry, the Reed Navy found it difficult to rely on old varieties to gain a firm foothold in the market. He learned from a friend that Juglans mandshurica is a precious tree species with edible, medicinal, garden and ecological values. The fruit is rich in flavonoids, anthocyanins and polyphenols, and its extract has a special effect on the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as heart disease and hypertension, and this variety is hardy and can grow at about minus 40 degrees Celsius, so it is suitable for local planting. In 2012, he tried to plant more than 3000 trees of Sorbus nigra. After success, he had confidence in further development, and the town was also calling on villagers to introduce new varieties, and the following year he expanded the planting scale, with a total of 20,000 plants.

Reviewing the course of his struggle, the Lu Navy told reporters: "over the years, I have been studying to push through the old and bring forth the new, and traditional crops and old varieties of seedlings can no longer meet the needs of the market and society. It is not easy to make money because of the low price and high cost of planting traditional cash crops. Choose to plant seedlings at a cost of more than 20 cents, which can be sold for more than 70 cents, with a net profit of more than 40 cents. One mu of land can be cut 300000 plants, according to the survival of 80%, it is 240000 plants, the profit is quite considerable. " The Reed Navy said.

In 2016, the Lu Navy signed a three-year strategic cooperation agreement with a company in Jilin, initially confirming that the other side bought 5 million seedlings from him this year, basically all the seedlings in his base. At present, including the Juglans mandshurica seedling base, the total area of the nursery he manages has reached 100 mu. After the Lu Navy became rich, it began to want to do something for the villagers. At present, he has led more than 20 villagers to plant seedlings, volunteering to help these villagers choose seeds, open up sales channels, and achieve common prosperity.
