During the May Day holiday, tourists picked watermelons in Dong Yueqiang's greenhouse and returned with a full load.

The ripe "milk watermelon" is mouth-watering.

The greenhouse is full of "milk watermelons".

Dong Yueqiang, a farmer from Nanhu Village, Xia Township, Tokson County, was picking watermelons in his shed on May 3. He patted the watermelons and said: "these 'milk watermelons' are the new treasures for local farmers to get rich."

It is understood that in 2014, under the organization of relevant departments in Tokson County, Dong Yueqiang went to the northeast to learn the technique of growing "milk grapes" in the greenhouse. After returning to Tokson, he applied this technology to his greenhouse grape cultivation. Thanks to Tokson's unique climatic conditions, his flame seedless grape has a particularly good taste, high sugar content and is deeply loved by consumers. In 2015 alone, his "milk grape" made him an annual income of more than 200,000 yuan.

However, he was not satisfied with this, and there was still a lot of space in the grape greenhouse, so he suddenly came up with the idea of applying the technology of growing "milk grapes" to watermelons. In 2015, he planted watermelons in three greenhouses with very good taste and quality, with an annual output of more than 5 tons and an income of more than 50,000 yuan.

Dong Yueqiang, who tasted the sweetness, carefully calculated an account. The "milk watermelon" he planted every February can mature and go on the market in May, with a short cycle and quick profits, so in 2016, he increased the planting of watermelons in the greenhouse to five greenhouses. It is estimated that the output this year will be about 10 tons, which will increase the income by about 100000 yuan.

"the watermelons and grapes I grow do not use any pesticides and chemical fertilizers, but mainly use farm manure as base fertilizer, and milk and traditional Chinese medicine are mixed into another fertilizer for daily application of water and foliar fertilizer, so the quality, taste and sugar content of the grapes are excellent, and the price is also higher than other ones. Now I have watermelons in two greenhouses booked by merchants in Urumqi. Dong Yueqiang said happily.

Mr. Han, from Urumqi, came here to pick watermelons for the second time this year. He told me that he bought milk watermelons and grapes in Dong Yueqiang's greenhouse last year. His watermelons are particularly sweet, pollution-free, and eat at ease. He prefers watermelons here to watermelons imported from the mainland.

According to Dong Yueqiang, he used to grow cotton and some cash crops, and his annual income was only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, but now his annual income has reached nearly 200,000 yuan, which has increased several times, and the living conditions and quality of his family have also changed greatly.

In the future, he will vigorously continue to do a good job in boutique agriculture, so that people can rest assured that they can buy and eat healthily, and make watermelons and grapes in the greenhouse bigger and stronger by means of points and noodles. Not long ago, he also attended an e-commerce training course held in Turpan, and will sell his milk watermelons and grapes online in the future.
