Hao Li: planting black wolfberry settled in the second company of the 12th regiment.

Recently, the author came to 53 greenhouses newly built by the second Company of the 12th Regiment of the first Division of the production and Construction Corps. Among them, Hao Li took the lead in contracting six greenhouses. Among them, 2 greenhouses cultivate red Fuji apple seedlings, 2 greenhouses cultivate pear seedlings, and 2 greenhouses cultivate black wolfberry seedlings, with a total investment of more than 300,000 yuan.

The floating dust weather for several consecutive days makes people feel no signs of spring. However, in Holly's black Chinese wolfberry seedling shed, it is a different scene full of green and warm as spring. In Holly's black Chinese wolfberry seedling greenhouse, the author met Haoli. Hao Li, who is in his 50s this year, is also a descendant of bingtuan people. he is smart and capable, and has successively opened a car modification factory in Aksu, Kuqa and other places. He has experienced ups and downs and embarked on the road to prosperity with superhuman courage and courage.

In 2015, the party committees and trade unions of the 12th regiment vigorously supported workers to develop their own economy, giving full play to the geographical advantages of the second company's proximity to the roads of Atu and Atu, and built 53 new greenhouses along Erlian Road, each covering an area of 1.2 mu. The regiment farm encouraged company workers to contract, and Holly took the lead in contracting six greenhouses. Holly finally found a good entrepreneurial project-- planting black wolfberry.

Due to his lack of planting experience, Hao Li, with the support and help of the League trade union, actively participated in the training course on planting techniques held by the regiment. At ordinary times, he also inquired for information on the Internet. He learned that black wolfberry is a cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant, saline-alkali-tolerant wild plant, rich in anthocyanins, with good health care value and medicinal value, and the demand is increasing rapidly at home and abroad. Known as "soft gold", the market demand is large. After three years of planting, black wolfberry will enter a high-yield period, with a yield of 150 jin to 300 jin per mu. Planting black wolfberry in * * has suitable soil climate, simple management, high income and quick effect. He believes that the development of black wolfberry industry has broad prospects and great prospects, and it is a new way to increase income and become rich.

"look, it has been only three months since artificial sowing, the average height has reached more than 40 centimeters, and the best growth has exceeded 50 centimeters. Thanks to the technicians at the forestry station, if they hadn't taught us how to manage the fields hand in hand, I estimated that tens of thousands of black wolfberry seedlings would have gone down the drain. " Holly said excitedly. "at present, these black wolfberry seedlings are still in infancy, although they have not grown up, but the economic benefits have been recognized by the market." Pointing to the neat rows of black Chinese wolfberry seedlings behind him, Hao Li calculated an account for the author: 130000 black Chinese wolfberry seedlings were sold for 2 yuan each, and the profit was also considerable. Holly planted the black fruit Lycium barbarum seedlings, which marked the success of the seedlings and laid the foundation for the entrepreneurial income of the workers in the regiment farm in the future.

Hao Li said to the author: "because pesticides are never sprayed in the greenhouse, weeds grow luxuriantly." "spraying pesticides will not only affect the quality of black wolfberry, but also pollute the soil environment. We all rely on manual work to clean up weeds." The author saw that the black wolfberry seedlings were divided into grooves and ridges, which was the planting method explored by Hao Li. "Black wolfberry is a drought-tolerant plant and is most afraid of waterlogging. These furrows and ridges are mainly used for drainage." The wild black wolfberry seedlings planted this year are growing well. "if it is not affected by the weather this year, the black wolfberry planted will bring economic benefits of more than 200,000 yuan." Holly said with a smile. Black wolfberry bears fruit twice a year, in June, July and October. Hao Li calculated that an acre of land is expected to harvest 100kg to 150kg of dried fruit a year, with an average price of about 2000 yuan per kilogram. After deducting the costs of raising seedlings, manpower, and renting land, one mu of land can earn about 100000 yuan a year.

"now many workers have begun to try to plant, and some company workers will come to me to help manage, harvest and earn a certain amount of income when they are idle." Holly told me that if someone is willing to grow black wolfberry, he is willing to teach them experience and technology for free. The economic benefit of planting black wolfberry is very considerable. It adds a new way to increase the income of workers.

Hao Li said confidently: "in the next step, we will continue to expand the planting area. After two to three years of efforts, we will plant more than 100 mu of black wolfberry, register our own black wolfberry trademark, create a characteristic brand, and open an e-commerce platform." create favorable conditions for the sales of black wolfberry. " The black wolfberry planted by Hao Li has settled down in the second company of the 12th regiment, which is not only thanks to the good policy of the regiment, but also provides an effective way for local workers to increase their income and become rich, while achieving economic benefits. it will also play a role in promoting the improvement of the ecological environment in arid areas.
