In the early summer, red tomatoes were hanged on branches in a shed located at the “basket” of vegetables in the new lake village of twin phoenix, jiangsutakura. In the local memory of childhood, life is always the same as the red tomato in the shed。
Starting in april of each year, the village folks come home early and late every day, bury their heads in the fields, and work hard for joy. The new lake tomato looks round, the fruit is fresh, the meat is red, the light is sweet, and it's not the style. The new lake village of twin feng town was the first area to develop a shed facility in taikura city, with its own farming characteristics gradually developed in the early 1980s, and tomatoes were first known。
The first generation of laos from new lake village, jiang sook rong, was the first crab eater. Most of the old new lake villages were grown mainly on rice, and most of the vegetables were grown on their own. Jiang sook-hoon has tried to enter the door of scientific cultivation by regulating tomato processes, rational planning of planting spaces, etc。
Initially, new cultivation methods had been very effective, but with the expansion of the area under cultivation, problems of quality control of tomatoes had arisen. "the tomato varieties passed down by our ancestors are still too late to keep up with our planting techniques." chiang sook-young said。
He comes home early in the morning and late in the morning, travels to the fields to study new varieties and technologies, and also to shanghai and nanjing to find high-quality tomatoes. After several waves, he finally found taste, high productivity and strong resistance to new varieties of tomatoes, and successfully introduced them in the new lake village: currying, pollination, field management, disease eradication..
Under his leadership, the villagers of the new lake village began to grow tomatoes on a large scale. By the mid-1980s, new lake tomatoes had a good reputation in taikura。
At the same time, chiang's study tour resulted in the creation of a “triple set of tomatoes-smelling-smelling seeds”, with an acre output of more than $20,000 and acre benefits of 15,000, which significantly improved the production and quality of vegetables, while also effectively eliminating the land salinization crisis。
Tomatoes are also of particular interest to zhang yan, another provincial worker in the village. Following his discharge from the army in 1998, the young man, who was 20 years old, thought about returning home to grow vegetables。
Since november 2000, he has been contracting land to grow vegetable sheds and become a rural broker。
In his 20 years of growing vegetables in the sheds, he was busy fertilizing, weeding, insecticidal, with little rest from the beginning of the year. The best thing to grow was tomatoes, the branding of “new lake tomatoes” agricultural products, and his desire to raise the visibility of happy and beautiful new lake villages。
He learned the techniques and wisdom of tomato cultivation from chiang sook-yung, a first generation provincial worker. Zhang inchi, out of dozens of tomatoes, has introduced a species suitable for local growth in the new lake, east one。
During the critical period of production, he almost ate and slept in his own vegetable shed, where he was bleeding。
He has grown vegetables such as tomatoes free of pesticide residues and good taste and is well received and loved by a wide range of consumers。
The villagers encountered technical difficulties in finding him, and he did not hesitate to help other vegetable farmers overcome technical difficulties。
Under his leadership, the villagers of the surrounding area embarked on the path of scientific cultivation, hard work and prosperity, “to plant tomatoes out of the smell of their home when they were children, and to grow tomatoes is a spiritual and lifelong endeavour”. He said。
At the same time, zhang jin is gradually trying to grow more varieties of tomatoes, the provence tomato and the fruit of the holy virgin。
In 2018, the “basket” base of the new lake village was built, a new home for the new lake tomatoes was established, and there were some younger images of the base — the agricultural institute。
Instead of choosing to go to the big cities, the young men returned to their homes and ran into fields and became new professional farmers。
During their school, they learned agricultural techniques and management, such as marketing of agricultural electricians, rapid detection of vegetable agricultural disability, and obtained licences to drive farm machines, such as plugs, harvesters and tractors。
They have come to rural areas without fear of suffering, to reach the fields, to combine the knowledge of modern agricultural science and technology learned in schools with the field experience of “old farmers”, to learn and practice themselves and to rely on scientific and technological innovations to stimulate new dynamism in rural agricultural development。
Zou zou was often followed by zhang in-dae, the new lake village agriculture commission, who was confined to a large shed, learned to grow tomatoes, learned to look at pests and diseases, studied green food farming techniques, met with chiang and was able to talk for a long time。
A small red tomato witnessed the transmission and innovation of 40 years of tomato cultivation, the beginning of the three generations of “farmers” of old and young, and the journey of the sour and sweet struggle of the new lake farmer。
Currently, new lake tomato has been successfully declared as a national green food certification and has begun to work on national geomark products. The agricultural commission also studied the introduction of tomatoes to the homes of residents of neighbouring cities at a cost-effective basis。
