Selenium-enriched crops become rich in new rural areas

With the continuous improvement of the development level of modern agriculture, not only organic vegetables, selenium-rich products have also gradually come into our lives, followed by the formation of a healthy, green diet and concept of life.

In the Tongwang modern science and technology agricultural demonstration park in Heli Village, Chengdong Township, Siping City, Jilin Province, the fragrance of fruits and vegetables, butterflies and the scene of a bumper harvest led the farmers to become rich, and the demonstration park played a leading role.

"our rape is a selenium-rich organic vegetable, which is very different from what is sold on the market. There are pesticide and chemical fertilizer residues on the market. We use organic fertilizer here, and our rape is now seeded. And this lettuce belongs to chicken crown lettuce, looks as good as a flower, tastes quite good, and tastes better than green lettuce. Purple lettuce sells best here, and the citizens like it, and it is quite delicious. " Zheng Guixi, administrator of the demonstration park, said.

Jilin Tongwang Modern Science, Technology and Agriculture Development Group was established in January this year. They made use of Siping's geographical and transportation advantages to establish a production demonstration base for the development of modern scientific and technological agriculture, green ecological agriculture and organic agricultural products, covering an area of 519000 square meters. there are crop planting area, picking tourist area, catering service area and so on. The Tongwang Farmers' Professional Cooperative Association was established, relying on the technical support of Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, breaking through the integration of agriculture, rural areas and farmers resources, absorbing more than 200 members of 19 cooperatives far and near, and growing organic and selenium-rich crops in the hospital.

Fu Jiang, general manager of the demonstration park, said: "We have 16 varieties with all kinds of grains, including growing British broad beans, another name is British Red, this crop will become a staple food for Westerners when it is ripe, including Saudi Arabia, Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries, as well as red millet, which is mainly exported to Japan and South Korea."

Sun Jiaxiang, an agronomist in the demonstration garden, told me that in order to ensure the green, health and safety of crops, all crops in the garden do not use chemical fertilizers but only organic fertilizers, and improve soil composition by applying selenium-rich organic fertilizers without spraying pesticides. So butterflies can be seen flying above the vegetable leaves. Biological control methods are adopted to eliminate fruit and vegetable pests and ensure the safety of imported food. Tourists and farmers who go to the demonstration park to negotiate business and inspect the project can pick fruits and vegetables and eat them directly.

The Tongwang Farmers' Professional Cooperative Association has focused on the potentially high demand for agricultural pollution-free crop production, modern agricultural tourism projects, the integration of resources, the service of society, and the placement of green and organic food on the dining tables of urban and rural residents. It also provides a stable job for farmers on the edge of urban and rural areas.

"in the next step, we are going to organize the members of the entire cooperative through the cooperative model, and change the farming mode through technical training, so that everyone can embark on a healthy path. The purpose of promotion is to drive farmers to become rich. " Fu Jiang said.
