Farmers in Huojia County, Henan Province, become rich by three-dimensional cultivation of "shallow lotus root + Loach"

"I can make a lot of money at home this year. These 40 mu of lotus root and Loach have all been booked and purchased in advance by a large supermarket in Zhengzhou." On September 21, looking at the strong and green ecological lotus root in the pond, Zhang Xingbin, a villager of Xiliu Village, Daxinzhuang Township, Huojia County, could not help telling reporters.

The reporter saw that Zhang Xingbin excavated two lotus root ponds, both of which are about 1 meter deep and cover an area of more than 40 mu. The bottom of the pond is covered with high-quality black-gray plastic geomembrane, and the lotus blooming in the pool is gratifying.

"after covering the film, it is necessary to cover it with a layer of soil about 30 centimeters thick. The geomembrane on the bottom of the pond can not only prevent leakage but also isolate the virus, so that the lotus root will not grow deeper into the soil, saving time and effort when harvesting." Zhang Xingbin told the reporter, "raising Loach can eliminate pests in lotus root ponds, improve water quality, and make lotus roots grow whiter, tender, crisp, sweet and of higher quality. Experts told me that this is called three-dimensional agriculture!"

It is understood that Zhang Xingbin's practice of three-dimensional agriculture has also been in the light of the local government. since the beginning of this year, in order to speed up three-dimensional ecological agriculture, agricultural experts in cities and counties have repeatedly invited city and county agricultural experts to teach and conduct ecological three-dimensional agricultural training for agricultural cooperative legal persons and family farmers, and the number of trainers has reached more than 300 people.

Zhang Xingbin, who tasted sweetness for the first time, has an even greater "appetite" for the development of ecological lotus roots to raise Loach. His wife took the conversation and said confidently, "this year, our base for raising Loach will be more than 100 mu." By the harvest time, it is estimated that the gross income will reach more than 1 million yuan! "
