On the morning of 30 july, the storm of typhoon bamboo, a technical expert at the provincial agricultural college and a municipal technologist, yang xiaofang, and a researcher at the provincial agricultural college, jiang guihua, stepped up in the rain. They came to the wood-grained and gravy-carrying huts on the streets of shanda and to the family farm on the streets of the forest, sent technical guidance to the strawberry growers, and provided on-site training around key areas such as planting planning, breeding, technological optimization and pest control。
In the high strawberries shed of wood-grain agroecology, yang xiaofan looks closely at the base nursery and facilities and interacts face to face with douyongda for the second half of the year, providing an accurate answer to the challenges he encounters in nurturing and planting. "it's too soon for the experts to come, and we're thinking about new varieties." according to douyongda, “this year it is planned to plant in mature sub-regions so that pre-maturized varieties can take over the market and be supplied in the middle and late of the season so that the marketing period can be extended”. In response to the simplicity of the preparation of high-growth models, yang xiaofang suggested the introduction of new strawberry varieties and cleaner cultivation programmes to upgrade fruit quality from the source。
On a cool family farm, yang xiaofang combines a “breeding + precision management” strategy: consumer diversification needs are met through a scientific mix of white, pink, red strawberry and new varieties; management requires “dressing” and tailoring of water fertilizer programmes and pest control measures to different species。
“the planting of seedlings is at the root of the harvest and conservation after the storm must not be negligible.” taking into account the impact of typhoons on field crops, yang xiaofang has specifically sought to provide farmers with detailed post-typhoon care points and to “open the field” “to closely monitor the health of strawberry seedlings and enhance pest prevention in the aftermath of a storm; in the event of water accumulation on a plot, timely drainage and soil decontamination are required to protect them from disease”
