Planting hazelnuts under the forest to widen the road to wealth

Recently, the author saw at the Pingou big hazelnut planting demonstration site in the fourth management area of Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Yalu River Farm that every seedling is growing healthily and adzuki bean is growing gratifying in the forest. This is a microcosm of further readjusting the industrial structure of this farm, exploring a new way out of the economy under the forest, and widening the channels for increasing the income of workers.

Relying on rich woodland resources and forest ecological environment, this farm guides staff and workers to vigorously develop edible fungi, Pingou big hazelnut and other forest cultivation, and develop water resources such as crabs, fish, geese and other water resources to increase income and become rich. In order to do a good job in the cultivation of large hazelnut, Lengzibao, a farm grower, introduced 20,000 plants in Tangyuan County, Heilongjiang Province, with strong cold resistance, wide planting range, high survival rate, early fruit, large fruit shape, high yield and long life.

Leng Zibao happily calculated his economic account for us. Hazelnut trees can propagate seedlings in the second year, with an average of 2-3 seedlings per mu, about 250 seedlings per mu, and the annual income of seedlings bred per mu from the fourth to the seventh year can be about 10,000 yuan. Pingou big hazelnut entered the fruit period after three years, but entered the high yield period in the fourth year, the high yield period was as long as 50 years, the average yield per mu was more than 500jin, the price per jin was 15020 yuan, and the income per mu was about 6000-10000 yuan. With the combination of fruit and seedlings, the sales income can reach 15000 yuan, and the economic benefit is considerable.

The farm also actively introduces and promotes superior varieties, new technologies and new models suitable for under-forest planting and under-forest farming, and employs experts to train and teach growers and farmers, so as to further improve the technical level, theoretical level and practical ability of growers and farmers, improve the quality of economic products under the forest, and provide strong scientific and technological support and technical support for the economic development under the forest.
