In the cold winter, the strawberries shed in the village of chu chacpo, located in the eastern part of the river in the city of pei, shandong province, is warm and melted, and a succulent strawberries are covered with branches, and the fragrances are glamorous. Strawberry planting in the village introduced twin-story temperature-control techniques and an organic fertilizer-rich model, not only allowing strawberries to be marketed early, but also winning consumer preference with good quality as a “sweet industry” for villagers to grow wealth。
The sheds use a double membrane structure, with circulatory pipes on the ground. According to zhu timetao, the party secretary of the zhu chai po village in the town of lake 8, groundwater has been kept at around 15°c for the year, with uninterrupted circulation between 8 p. M. And 7 p. M. The following day. Even when outdoor temperatures drop to zero, the temperature in the shed can stabilize at zero or four or five degrees, far above the temperature protection of the traditional cotton shed。
It is understood that the traditional sheds are warmed by thicker membranes and cotton, and that the current double sheds are now free of cotton, and as soon as the sun comes out, they can be tanned and the temperature rises particularly rapidly. In the event of snowing weather, early reinforcement of the inner pillars of the shed will ensure the safety of the shed, and strawberries will not be frozen. During the planting process, technicians insist on a combination of organic and selenium-rich fertilizers, increasing the nutritional value of strawberry from the source。
Since 1997, the town of lake eight, in the eastern district of pyryu city, has introduced strawberry cultivation, which has evolved rapidly from traditional models to standardization and efficiency, with an area of 10. 08 million acres. The town of lake eight, which has developed a chain around a strawberry, has become a local backbone, building an industry-wide chain of seedlings-planting-processing-marketing, and multiplying its value。
In 2023, a local consortium of professional cooperatives for long-ridge strawberries growers was established, bringing together 60 member units, bringing together seedlings, technology and marketing, bringing together strong synergies. In 2023, the test plant was successful, with a high level of selenium, with an increase of 10-20 per cent and a better wind taste. In 2024, high-quality seedlings such as “front 2” were introduced to scientific research institutes such as the shandong agricultural university, continuously optimizing the structure of the varieties。
In addition to the marketing of fresh fruit, lake eight, based on its traditional chain of green fruit and vegetable processing industries, continues to dig for strawberry deep-processed products such as strawberry fruit, strawberry cans, frozen strawberries, strawberry powder, etc., creating good conditions for farmers to develop strawberry cultivation. More and more people are finding employment and income at the door of their homes, and there has been a real change in the transformation of the “frown fruit” into “gold fruit” and the “berry” supporting the “big industry”。
At present, several strawberry pickers in lake eight are maturating, attracting tourists to pick them every weekend. Strawberry picking brings people not only the first taste of sweetness in winter, but also an experience of field life. Fourteen consecutive strawberry culture tours have been held, and strawberry picks, cultural performances, and strawberry queens competitions have attracted several visitors. Every year, at the strawberry harvest season, more than a dozen fine pick-up gardens combine to form the preferred route for the peri-urban tour, allowing citizens to taste fresh fruits and experience more poetic life. The town of lake eight, with a strawberries, combines its dreams of co-families and writes a sweet chapter of rural renewal. (claire, zhong, jinping, li jing)
