In winter, the sun is warm, and there's plenty of life in the strawberries shed in the village of chuapo, ankou town, watin city: green strawberry vines grow, fresh red and full fruit is so green that the green leaves are so seductive that the fragrances of sweet fruit are sprouted, attracting tourists to pick。
In the shed, many varieties of strawberries, such as “sniffed beads” “danton 99” “pyramids”, are popular. “this plant can produce nine flowers, leaving only two for the time being, so that it can grow and the rest of it can be strangled. Each plant is protected by this standard, which ensures both a strawberry look and a taste.” zhu xingmin, the chief of the shed, introduced him with a demonstration of care skills。
It has been seven years since the zhu xingmin, a well-known “gourdas” in the village, had grown strawberries. To maintain the minimum quality of strawberries, he has always adhered to the concept of green and non-hazardous cultivation, applied farm fats throughout the process, insisted on artificial weeding, artificial insect catch, introduced natural bee pollination techniques, complemented by precision management such as precision temperature control, scientific ventilation, etc., and planted strawberry fruit with fine meat and sweet tastes, and accumulated large numbers of stable returning visitors。
“after seven years of mapping and practice, the zhualand strawberry garden has developed mature planting experiences. House soil disinfection is initiated in july of each year, strawberries are planted in late july and in august, each of which is carefully controlled. I am now in charge of five large huts to cultivate four strawberry varieties, of which the zoos matured as early as december and are now on the market; and the zhu xingmin, who will be large enough to grow at the end of this month, will be able to pick them openly。
Small strawberries, which are the “favourable fruit” of the poaching buds, raise the “rich fruit” of the villagers. The village of zhu jiapo, with its natural endowment of climate and fertile soil, and its geographical advantage in the vicinity of urban areas, has been able to consolidate resources through land-flowing, with strong support from the town party committee and the government, to build 126 solar greenhouses and vegetable sheds, gradually building a sui generis system dominated by strawberries and co-development of melons and vegetables。
The strawberry industry not only stabilizes the earnings of the zhu xing people at around $300,000 a year, but also leads local villagers to “employment at the door” and expands the channels for popular growth. “a maximum of 20 people may be employed by the strawberry gardener during busy hours, all of them from their villages. In my day-to-day work, i will take the initiative to teach you about planting techniques and encourage you to use the facilities to develop the industry to generate more income.” jo xingmin said。
Today's village of zhu jiabo has charted a path of integration of the agro-tourism brigades and the promotion of the rich. A vanilla strawberries, which combines agricultural efficiency, increased farmers' incomes and rural prosperity, are a vivid and living microcosm of the revitalization of rural niche industries in the city of watin。
