Tunnel planting of Yuniu Little Tomato in greenhouse doubles yield and saves labor

Chen Ming-hsiung, a young farmer, took over the family business eight years ago. under the guidance of peasant associations and production and marketing classes, he used greenhouse tunnel cultivation to grow jade girl tomatoes, which not only doubled the yield, but also made it easy to harvest.

In the tunnel, a string of sturdy and delicate tomatoes hung all over the scaffolding, while the immature green tomatoes hung in mid-air, quite spectacular! Yunu Little Tomato with thin skin and plump pulp has a sweet and sour taste, giving people a feeling of love.

Chen Mingxiong, a green farmer: "this tomato, ah, grew up on soy milk. It tastes like a dense, slightly sour tomato, and then it has that kind of feeling of love."

Chen Ming-hsiung, who is also the general president of the youth farmers in Chiayi County and the fifth monitor of the cloth bag production and marketing class, uses greenhouse oblique vertical and vertical tunnel planting techniques to move flowers and fruits into the tunnel, so as to facilitate care and harvest, and reduce manpower.

Green farmer Lin Yan: "the side (oblique stand) style is mainly based on my height, because I usually pick up vines, most of which I am picking up." The upright one is my husband's height, and he is easier to act. "

Chen Ming-hsiung, a green farmer: "only by absorbing nutrients from those two main vines will the fruit be bigger and its sunshine will be better. Just be more ventilated, and then turn the fruit out, and the harvest will be better."

With the addition of drip irrigation system, eggplant was grafted onto Yuniu tomato, and each plant was quite strong. Chen Ming-hsiung generously shared his planting experience.

Young farmer Chen Mingxiong: "because the grafted seedlings are more disease-resistant, their plants are also relatively healthy and their heads are so strong." Drip irrigation supplies nutrients to the plants here, and then it is covered with this plastic cloth, that is, it is less likely to grow grass, so we can reduce some work. "

Chen Ming-hsiung said that the Yuniu tomato is fresh and sweet, and its unique "sour and sweet" taste is deeply loved by consumers. Due to the influence of the climate this year, the output of small tomatoes has decreased by about 10%.
