On 1 april, chen aifang, a planter in the village of white road, white ma village, china county, led more than 10 villagers to cover, plant and water the ground。
“the land was grown in corn the previous year, and a dozen acres of ground watermelon were planted last year. Twenty acres were planted this year, hopefully still a good harvest.” chen aifang stated that the plot contained high levels of sand, that crops were not drought-resistant and that water consumption was high. The conversion of watermelons to water-saving drip irrigation is not only low water use, but also high yield and good taste。
The white horse has a tradition of growing watermelon, and almost all households previously grow selenum and are well known as the “town of guacamole”. In previous years, the guatemalan farmers had responded positively to the policy by entering into agreements to withdraw from the lands and implement ecological rehabilitation. The old guarnon changed its tradition of "planting melons on the mountain, growing food below the mountain" and then withdrew from the sands on the mountain and explored the cultivation of the ground watermelon under the mountain。
“in the past year, the white horse village, building on its national food-growing mandate, has made a major effort to develop the melon industry and increase farmers' incomes.” the officials in charge of the white horse village said that the land in the main plantation area of white horse village was sandy and well suited to the growth of watermelons, with sufficient light, with high sugar, good taste and quality and early marketing, which was favoured by the market. In the past year, the white horse has grown more than 4,000 acres of watermelon, producing about 5,000 kilograms of acre, with a value of nearly 50 million yuan。
With the fall of the sand, the village of white horses has been active in adjusting the structure of the agricultural industry to guide the population in the cultivation of the land watermelon, using the model of a “subdivision + cooperative + party member + large household” and playing an active role as an engine for growers, growers and farmers' professional cooperatives. Last year, 350 acres of ground watermelon were grown, 20 acres of shed watermelon were grown, each earning more than 8,000 acres。
The author told journalists that 600 acres of ground watermelon had been planted in the village this year, and that by the end of mid-june, when the ground watermelon had been harvested, it would be planned to grow a second large cabbage. Together, they have increased both the utilization of land resources and the income of the population。
It was described that the white horse village continued to shine the gold sign “the country of the guacamole” through the planting of watermelons on a scale. At present, the area under cultivation is about 12,000 acres, with an estimated production of more than 50,000 tons and a value of approximately 120 million yuan. (reporter, yang zhijin)
