A New way for Fruit Farmers in Heishan County to develop hazelnut to get Rich

Since this spring, Lijia Town, Heishan County, combined with the local experience of planting hazelnuts, has guided farmers to break the inherent mode of thinking, vigorously develop the economic forest industry, plant hazelnut trees, and let farmers embark on a new road to increase income and become rich.

At the hazelnut planting site in Guangsheng Village, Lijia Town, farmers are busy digging holes, fixing plants, and filling soil in small groups. At the same time, technicians from the county forestry department also provide on-site guidance and follow-up services for the planting of hazelnut trees to ensure that farmers plant and manage hazelnut trees scientifically.

According to the contractor of the plot, this year he plans to plant all the 50 mu of land with 110 hazelnut trees per mu. After the planting is completed, the plant will be dried with a height of 40 to 60 cm, and immediately irrigated after drying, and the soil will be sealed to preserve soil moisture to ensure the survival rate of the seedlings. Low crops can also be planted among the trees in the first three years, and they can also make profits by growing seedlings under the trees. three years later, the hazelnut tree enters the early fruit stage, and it is not allowed to plant crops among the trees. at this time, the yield of hazelnut is about 100 jin per mu, and the hazelnut tree enters the peak fruit stage for 5 years, with a yield of about 500 jin per mu. Pingou big fruit hazelnut has thin skin, big nuts, good taste and high yield, which is very popular with consumers. The economic benefit of large hazelnut trees per mu is about 10 times that of field crops.

After more than 10 years of research and breeding, Pingou Big Fruit hazelnut Research Institute in Lijia Town has mature experience in planting hazelnut technology. To this end, Lijia Town combined with the provincial 10 million mu economic forest industrial belt project and the actual town to guide farmers to develop large hazelnut planting industry, from seedling selection, planting to scientific management to provide babysitting services to promote farmers to increase their income and become rich.
