It is not a dream to grow blueberries and purple potatoes for 110000 yuan per mu.

Original title: the benefit of planting purple potato in blueberry field is high

The villagers are collecting purple potatoes in the blueberry field.

Blueberry is listed by the World Health Organization as the best nutritional value fruit, can be called the "king of fruit"; purple potato is rich in selenium and anthocyanins, known as potato "king".

When these two kinds of crops with very high economic value "gather" a piece of land, the output benefit of the plot can be imagined.

Recently, villagers are harvesting purple potatoes at the Lecui blueberry planting base in Nanchuan Ecological Agriculture Grand View Garden.

"you see, this purple potato weighs at least one or two jin. I didn't expect that blueberries will grow so well when they are interplanted with purple potatoes." Villager Tang Yulan said.

Wang Guangjian, head of Lecui blueberry base, said that the planting area of the base is more than 700 mu, and more than 400 mu have just been put into production, and the blueberry trees are relatively low. The distance between the trees is relatively large, and the blueberries are completely empty after harvest in summer. Why not use the "empty period" of this land to interplant other cash crops?

So they thought of the purple potato with high economic value.

Wang Guangjian said that with the change of people's concept of diet, "eating coarse food" has now become a synonym for health and fashion. Purple potato not only has the nutrients of ordinary sweet potato, but also rich in selenium and anthocyanins, which is the "king" of sweet potatoes.

This year, the base planted high-quality purple potatoes in more than 100 mu of blueberry fields, adopting the "blueberry, purple potato" interplanting model, which not only saved land, but also increased income.

Wang Guangjian said that blueberry purple potato interplanting has several advantages: first, blueberry cultivation requires a large amount of organic fertilizer, and purple potato is interplanted between plants in strawberry field, so purple potato can make full use of the fertilizer left over from blueberry planting for purple potato growth. higher yield can be obtained without adding too much fertilizer; second, the general blueberry orchard is under good farming conditions and is less affected by natural disasters. Third, purple potato does not compete with blueberries, but can grow purple potato in lower strawberry fields; fourth, low input cost, convenient management, do not need too much investment, can obtain higher output and better income.

Speaking of income, Wang Guangjian said that blueberries can produce more than 1000 jin of fruit per mu, with an output of about 100000 yuan. Blueberry interplanting purple potato, the yield of purple potato is about 3000 jin per mu, according to the current market price is 3.50 yuan per jin, the output value per mu of land is about 10, 000 yuan. One piece of land, two pieces of income, and the sum of the two items can produce 110000 yuan.

"blueberries are harvested in summer, and after harvest, purple potatoes are planted in nests. Blueberry orchards have sufficient light and a large free area, which is suitable for interplanting purple potatoes, which has the dual effects of cultivating land and increasing economic income." Wang Guangjian said that it should be noted that purple potato is a short-day crop, which needs sufficient light and high intensity. therefore, blueberry plants in blueberry orchards that are more than five years old are already too large to interplant purple potatoes.
