In recent days, the paprika trees, which have wandered through the mountains, have ceased to be an old pattern of “highness”. A man of tall paprika branches bowed low, and the paprika of the sun bended over the branch, and the fragrance of the fragrance came. "cut off the bud, and the peppers will become more full." zhang deng guo lok, who was triming the new sprouts, said that the pepper tree was now shorter than before, but that the village's money bag was more drummed。
This “conformation” that brought down the paprika tree is derived from the technique of condensed tube protection. A few years ago, a pilot field was set up in one acre of her home's pepper garden when her father came to chongqing to study herbs. He traveled many times to chongqing to learn techniques such as seed screening, pest control, shearing and baking. Kung fu is not a man of heart, his technology is becoming more sophisticated, his field has been expanded to more than 30 acres, and in recent years it has generated more than $200,000 in revenues from the cultivation of peppers。
“big trees are gradually reduced to productive trees of less than 2 metres high through dry pressure branches, ventilation, integrated management of hydrofertilizers and green pest control.” zhang deng is pointing to a low, but productive, introduction of the pepper tree, which, through a condensed tube, has resulted in a marked increase in the number of branches due to wider light, a fourfold increase in the number of sit-ins, an easy increase of 300 kg of dry peppers, a doubling of production compared to traditional planting methods; in the area of harvesting, workers can reach the top of a tree by standing in a pepper garden, and a person can harvest 50 plants a day and send them directly into a bakery, with much more efficiency and cost reductions of more than half; and, in quality and price, the small trees are full of fresh peppers, sterilated sterol, selling about 15 yuan per kilogram more than the traditional “big tree” peppers and stabilizing over 8,000。
After the success of the dwarfed peppers, zhang deng-guk became the “earth expert” and taught other villagers the technology free of charge. Under his leadership and guidance, villagers in the village have improved their farming methods and built a 700-acre pepper demonstration base. Since 2023, quana county has twice held a county-wide precipitatorial booster meeting at his base, attracting a large number of surrounding growers. Farmers using new technologies such as zhang deng guo's “retweeding” reduced the costs of pepper production by 50 per cent, increased production by more than 50 per cent and even tripled the incomes of the first farmers to follow up。
The train runs fast, all by the headband. In 2020, under the leadership of the party organization, a professional cooperative of farmers growing in zhang's county was formally established and zhang deng state became the core member. Since then, cooperative cohesion has developed and more than 500 local farmers have been trained in integrated technical training at the catalytic base. In the area of integrated regulatory management, the promotion of technologies such as congested and congested planting, estranged branches, green control of pests and pests, and application of organic fertilizers has been actively pursued; in the construction of the complete industrial chain, the “planting + acquisition + processing + marketing” model was successfully explored, and in 2024 the co-operatives certified fresh and dry peppers as green foods; and the cooperative has also worked to provide employment to villagers at the door of their homes, providing them with a large number of jobs during the precipitating season, allowing them to increase their harvest at the door。
Today, 700 acre core demonstration base in the town produces an average of 150 kg of dry pepper, with an annual value of over $6 million. At present, 2500 acres of pepper are grown throughout the sea-gate community, 1,000 acres of efficiency gains were achieved by 2024, and the pepper tree has become a “swirling-money tree” for stabilizing the local population, giving new impetus to the demonstration of the quality development of over 300,000 acres of pepper industry throughout the county。
