I will expand the planting of lotus root to 100 mu next year.

"the trial planting of 20 mu of shallow pond film lotus root has been successful, and I plan to expand the planting area to 100 mu next year." A few days ago, Feng Dazhu, who was harvesting fresh lotus root, said to the author.

Feng Dazhu is a villager of Lianghe neighborhood in Apengjiang Town, Qianjiang District. In recent years, Feng Dazhu and Shen Fengping have worked in the modern agricultural park on their doorstep. Feng Dashu is in charge of ploughing and other work, while Shen Fengping is the leader of the labor team of the park. They are both honest and willing to work and win the trust of the park officials.

Last year, by chance, Feng Dazhu and his wife saw in a TV program that some people in Shandong Province promoted the cultivation technology of shallow pond film lotus root, and they couldn't help but feel excited.

After careful consideration, they decided to "gamble" and quit their jobs to try to grow shallow-pond membrane lotus roots.

Feng Dazhu and his wife told the person in charge of the park their idea of quitting their job to start a business, which received strong support. After negotiation, Feng Dazhu rented 20 mu of greenhouse from the park to 20 mu as production land at the price of 2000 yuan per mu per year.

Rent, seeds, labor and so on need to invest more than 100,000 yuan, what if it does not succeed?

Feng Dazhu hired Pu Guangyu, a member of the district agricultural association and an engineer of the vegetable department of the district committee of agriculture, as a technical adviser.

Ploughing, box opening, flattening, film laying, soil filling, ditching, planting lotus root, fertilization, management. Every detail needs to be handled carefully. Under the careful guidance of the technical consultant, Feng Dazhu led several workers to do a solid job in every production link in accordance with the standardized technical operation rules.

A few days ago, Feng Dazhu and workers smiled with relief when they pulled out long and tender fresh lotus roots from a shallow mud layer 20 centimeters thick.

It is estimated that the yield per mu reaches more than 5000 kg, which is more than 3000 kg higher than that of conventional cultivation, the output value per mu reaches 25000 yuan, and the net income is 12000 yuan.

It is reported that the planting of film lotus root in shallow pond can not only save water, fertilizer and disease control, but also can be put on the market earlier, increase per unit yield, save labor, and produce pollution-free products, which has broad development prospects.

Feng Dazhu, who succeeded in trial planting, is full of confidence. he plans to expand the planting area of shallow pond film lotus root to 100 mu next year, and drive a group of villagers to plant it, so as to create a high yield garden of shallow pond film lotus root.
