The 83 regiment of the fifth division applies sufficient farm manure and Chinese wolfberry to increase the income of workers in the full fruit period.

Baskets of red wolfberry were transported from the garden to the ground, waiting to be weighed. "Chinese wolfberry has not been affected by the disaster this year, and it has collected more than 500 kilograms of dried fruit." On July 3, Li Minghua, an employee of the 19th Company of the 83 Regiment of the production and Construction Corps, said to the author while handing out picking fees to the pickers of Chinese wolfberry.

Located in Jinghe County, the hometown of Chinese wolfberry, the regiment is favored by consumers because of its unique climate, sufficient light, large temperature difference between day and night, bright red fruit, large and full grain, thin and thick skin, rich sugar and high medicinal value. In recent years, the regiment has withdrawn from low-yield cotton fields to grow high-quality Chinese wolfberry, increasing the planting area of Chinese wolfberry by more than 3000 mu. In order to make the broad masses of workers grasp the key points of Chinese wolfberry planting management as soon as possible and see the benefits as soon as possible, technicians hold on-the-spot meetings on the prevention and control of Chinese wolfberry diseases and insect pests and pruning in batches, provide on-site guidance to each unit of Chinese wolfberry planting management, and provide technical tracking services, so that planting can achieve a unified pruning model, unified management, and unified fertilization.

While managing the cotton field, Li Minghua and his wife Wu Jing have planted 8 mu of Chinese wolfberry for seven consecutive years, earning a lot of money every year. It turns out that like other employees of the company, they grow cotton and other crops in the company, and their income is not bad. But when he saw that some workers in the company planted Chinese wolfberry, the benefit was good, so they tried to grow it themselves. In the first year, we tried to grow 5 mu in the contracted wasteland, but all of them survived. So from the second year, expanded year by year in 8 mu of wasteland all planted into Chinese wolfberry. In the past two years, in order to increase the output of Chinese wolfberry, reduce the cost of planting Chinese wolfberry, improve the quality of Chinese wolfberry, increase the income of Chinese wolfberry planting, invest in the completion of Chinese wolfberry drip irrigation facilities.

"timely removal of weeds and residual seedlings from overgrown branches and ground can reduce the nutrient consumption of trees and ensure that fruit branches get more nutrition. The coring of some spring branches, the second and third fruiting branches and the application of farm manure can increase the yield of Lycium barbarum. " Wu Jing told the author that doing a good job in the field management of Chinese wolfberry in summer plays an important role in improving the nutritional status of trees and the conditions of ventilation and light transmission, reducing the harm of mass reproduction of diseases and insect pests, improving the yield and quality of Chinese wolfberry summer fruits, and increasing income.

In the Chinese wolfberry field, the pickers in straw hats sat on the small bench, picking bright red and full fruit one after another, and soon the small plastic buckets under their feet were filled with fresh and attractive Chinese wolfberry. The red Chinese wolfberry not only bulges the growers'"money bag", but also broadens the way for the company and local village team to get rich. Villagers from Mang Township, Jinghe County told us that their family is mainly growing cotton, and now it is the fallow period after the topping. They use their leisure to come to the company to pick Chinese wolfberry and earn a lot of income. Because they have been picking Chinese wolfberry for many years, it is easier to do it. The picking fee is three yuan per kilogram, and you can earn about 180 yuan a day. The picker from the company said: "every year during the mature season of Chinese wolfberry, we come here to do odd jobs and can pick about 80 jin a day." While talking, she and several companions carried baskets and hid into the Chinese wolfberry forest.

One mu of garden, ten mu of field. The regiment aims at the Chinese wolfberry market and strengthens the field management of Chinese wolfberry. With the advantages of no pollution, large particles, high sugar content, bright color, thin skin and thick meat, and high medicinal value, the regiment has become a hot commodity for customers at home and abroad, and has also opened up new channels for workers to increase their income and become rich.
