Chongqing Yongchuan: "interlude" of Watermelon

"melon field melon soil, melon shed melon rack, green vines and green leaves, selenium-rich watermelons, sweet and cool, happy farmers." This is the selenium-rich watermelon in Xinjian Village, Wujian Town. There are many "episodes" when it comes to five watermelons.

He Li harvested watermelons.

Five smart people work to learn skills.

About 10 years ago, people from Taizhou, Zhejiang Province came to Wujian Town in our district to plant watermelons, and the local people succeeded in "stealing teachers and learning skills" in the process of working. After that, the Zhejiang people left, but the five watermelon planting techniques were retained. Growers have solved the technical problem that watermelons cannot be planted continuously by grafting them on gourd seedlings; by changing gourd rootstocks into pumpkin rootstocks, they have deciphered the "code" of watermelons that are easy to water; and increase plastic film when raising seedlings, changing the previous three layers into four layers of "protective film." the survival rate of melon seedlings has been greatly improved. Today's five watermelon plants are booming. This great change has not only allowed many local villagers to return home to start their own businesses, but also attracted villagers from places such as Satellite Lake to come to plant.

Unity is strength, and unity produces combat effectiveness. Five newly-built villages have successively set up expert courtyards, five watermelon associations, Chongqing Yibao watermelon planting cooperative, and "Zhen GE" and "Peach Blossom Watermelon intoxicated the World": "…" Five peach blossoms look through your eyes, five watermelons are sweet through your heart. Five peach blossoms and five watermelons are drunk. " Five watermelons are eaten in the mouth, sweet in the heart.

In view of the good development environment, in 2012, he Li, a city resident, came to Wujian Town and started a business with his father he Jiangxiang in the Hujiazui villagers group in Xinjian Village. They transferred more than 100 mu of land and embarked on the road of watermelon cultivation.

Improving soil and extracting quality selenium-rich watermelon is famous all over Yongchuan

Although he Li has never planted watermelons, the good atmosphere here has infected her. Mature grafting technology and unique soil improvement formula make her full of longing for the future.

The five watermelons have the following tricks to improve their quality: first, use the discarded mushroom bags from the edible fungus base in the modern agricultural park of Shengshui Lake as the first choice for soil improvement. It is economical and affordable, and the effect of soil improvement is obvious. The second is to increase the application of selenium-rich fertilizer, although the cost is on the high side, but the quality of watermelon is good, especially selenium has the effect of anti-cancer and beauty, which is deeply loved by the market. The third is to increase the application of oil residue base fertilizer and microbial fertilizer to ensure that the second and third stubble melons are ripe and sold on the market. Fourth, watermelon farmers in the watermelon base independently held a watermelon tourism and cultural festival, this year is the seventh, melon farmers work together to push five watermelons to the market.

The temperature and humidity of seedling are controlled by temperature and humidity meter.

Management needs meticulous listing and off-peak.

According to the previous weather environment, most of the five watermelons had two or three crops. In other words, since the opening of the Watermelon Tourism and Culture Festival on June 8 this year, according to the usual plan, five watermelon experience picking can last until the end of August. But two torrential rains in late June flooded nearly 20 mu of watermelons in he Li's greenhouse. "the melon seedlings are still green when it rains, but as soon as the sun clears up after the rain, the melon seedlings turn yellow and wither." He Li said that at present, more than 100,000 kilograms of watermelons have been harvested in her melon fields, and according to the weather this year, the yields of second and third crops will be partially affected.

After years of exploration, he Li found that management still needs refinement. In general, it is more appropriate for a melon farmer to manage 10 to 30 mu of melon fields. If the area of more than 100 mu, not only the investment will be larger, the management can not fully keep up with. At the same time, watermelons have to avoid the peak of fruit listing, such as with the continuous listing of grapes and pears, watermelon sales and prices will also be affected. Therefore, he Li has set up a direct sales point in Wenqu Square in the city, and many other Luzhou cars and Guizhou cars that pass by five will also be purchased. At present, the yield of he Li watermelon per mu is controlled at 2000 kg. She plans vegetable rotation to improve land efficiency.

It is understood that the area of melons and vegetables in five new villages is 3000 mu, of which the core area of watermelon planting is 1000 mu. If the average yield per mu is 3000 kg, the yield of watermelon this year will reach 3 million kg. He Li firmly believes that with the improvement of people's consumption level, five selenium-rich watermelons will stand at the forefront of the market, not only to let consumers enjoy the sweetness and coolness of watermelons, but also to benefit farmers with increased income.
