Fujian Jianning: the output value of planting hanging melon reaches 40 million yuan.

Hanging melon has unique medicinal functions and edible characteristics. Today, in Junkou Town, Jianning County, more than 6000 mu of hanging melon planting base has become the cradle for villagers to get rich.

"hanging melons are difficult to grow and are easily affected by diseases and insect pests." Li Tengming said, "the new technology can make the 'old hanging melon' young forever." Li Tengming is the general manager of Fujian Guanrui Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and an expert in hanging melon planting. He became a model worker this year.

Anhui studied and became an expert in hanging melons.

"the lights outside are so bright that they can't compare with the Jinshan and Silver Mountains at home!" Li Tengming believed from the beginning that as long as he worked hard, his family's "one mu and one-third of the land" would certainly become rich.

Junkou Town, Jianning County, hometown, the perennial temperature is suitable, the air humidity is good, and the soil is mostly sandy. The test data are highly consistent with the production environment of hanging melon. As a result, Li Tengming began to make trouble by relying on the planting techniques he learned in other places, and set up Fujian Guanrui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Since then, his biological clock has changed: he gets up at 5 o'clock every morning to work, "the breakfast work is not too hot", and at noon he is also bored in the field, "it's cool under the tree, so you can have a rest when you're tired." when you leave the melon field with mud legs at night, you have to look back and "find the feeling of love again!" In this way, split the mountain to reclaim wasteland, hard for a year, more than 100 mu of hanging melon seedlings have been planted.

However, after two years of hard work, the output of hanging melon can not go up, only capital preservation, no profit.

"can you go online for help?" Li Tengming saw the bright light from his neighbor Xiao Wu. He compared the situation taken in the melon field with the pictures of diseases and insect pests on the Internet one by one for diagnosis and treatment. Persisted for 10 months, the technology improved significantly, but the output still did not increase significantly.

"it seems to depend on new technology." Li Tengming found out from the Internet that Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences has mature planting technology of hanging melons. He spent half a year studying hard in Anhui, learned modern agricultural production techniques such as three-dimensional ecological cultivation, water and fertilizer regulation and control of healthy plants, and plastic film mulching of Trichosanthes, and established a cooperative relationship of industry, university and research with Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

In 2012, Li Tengming returned from school and put forward a new idea of "expanding the planting area and selecting high-quality varieties", which led to a breakthrough in the quality of hanging melon planting in Jianning County. His Trichosanthes planting experimental base expanded to more than 600 mu, introduced more than 30 high-yield and high-quality Trichosanthes varieties, participated in the breeding of new Trichosanthes varieties of Anwei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and built a melon seed processing plant.

At present, Guanrui Company has achieved high yield and high yield of Trichosanthes, with a yield of more than 150kg per mu and an output value of 8000-9000 yuan per mu. The processing output of hanging melon seeds can reach 800 tons of finished melon seeds, with an output value of 7000-80 million yuan.

Rich Farmers with Science and Technology to build hanging Melon Industry

At that time, Jianning County vigorously promoted the industrial model of "company + peasant household" in rural areas. Li Tengming puts forward a new idea of extending to "company + peasant household + technology".

The planting base of Guanrui Company has become a big classroom for publicizing and improving technology.

"this is a male hanging melon. The male flower is 5 days earlier than the female flower, and artificial pollination is best at 8-9 am every morning." At the base, Li Tengming instructed melon farmers to sort out the vines and remove weeds.

With the support of the county, Li Tengming has set up more than 3000 mu of hanging melon planting base in various villages and towns of the county, providing seedlings free of charge, technical guidance throughout the process, and signing sales contracts, so that melon farmers will not worry about the market. Planting hanging melons has become a magic weapon for farmers in Jianning to get rich. this year, the planting has reached more than 6000 mu, doubling the area and achieving an output value of more than 40 million yuan.
