In recent days, the head of the family farm in the city of hindo, the head of the development of the rice farm, dai hingkun, welcomed the harvest season of his new species, the “fruit cabbage”. This cabbage, which was introduced only in august this year, is “new expensive” and, although thin, has a long appearance, owing to high planting density and well-managed fields, with an acre production of about 20,000 pounds and a long life of only 70 days. Once on the market, there was a wide appreciation of the impressive taste. In view of the considerable cultivation prospects, dehingqun has planned to further expand the scale of cultivation in the coming year, so that more citizens of qingdao can taste this sweetness。
The cabbage "the new price" is on the market
It's sweet and sweet
The fruit and cabbage fields of the great zhu mau village, which entered the town of gudrun, came in green, and the cabbage was unearthed, and the leaves were thick and bright. Dahingkun walked through the fields and looked closely at the dynamics of each cabbage. Fruit and cabbage strains are much longer than ordinary cabbage, and the leaves are wide and wide spread, and the dishes are partly small, and the whole appear to be full. The journalists stripped the outer blades with their hands and their heart was yellow and fresh and sweet。
"i learned this by chance, thought it would enrich our local cabbage, and decided to introduce it to a flat test." as described by dai hingqun, he used to grow mainly winter cabbage, which is home to the people of the north, and which usually has to be frozen or stored in order to feel better. In order to promote diversity of varieties, he eventually introduced the fruit cabbage type 70, after learning the many advantages of “fruit cabbage”。
About 20,000 pounds
Short growth cycle benefits are significant
"this fruit cabbage can grow up to six to ten pounds, grow fast, be well-carried, have fewer leaves and have a high rate of vegetable production." dahingkun said that fruit cabbage was a pre-maturized species, the largest difference from old varieties being that it did not need to rely on cryogenic transformation to improve taste. The freshly harvested fruit cabbage, which is so sweet, whether it is convoluted, salted or roasted, can keep a delicate quality that is well received by consumers。
Common cabbage is grown before and after the autumn and harvests before and after the snow, while fruit cabbage is grown early in august and moved to plant in september, with a full growth cycle of only 70 days, much earlier than traditional winter cabbage. "in addition, it's compact, it's suitable for a dense plant, and the acreage can reach about 20,000 pounds."。
Expansion of cultivation
Sharing technology leads to the mutual enrichment of villagers
“this fruit cabbage is very productive, and i intend to continue to expand next year.” dai hingkun said with full confidence. The village's geographical location is such that it is close to the large and small markets, with abundant water sources and abundant groundwater; the soil is dominated by sandy soil, which protects water from air and is very suitable for vegetable cultivation, such as cabbage, carrots, onions and celery. The quality and taste of the vegetables produced, combined with the many years of experience accumulated by villagers in growing vegetables, are high。
This year, he started planting seven or eight acres of fruit cabbage in three batches, and was ordered first by an old customer, with a high return rate and a price of $1 per pound. Good market feedback gave him confidence in the expansion of cultivation. Dahingqun plans to expand cultivation to 50 acres next year and is willing to share planting experiences and technologies with interested villagers to bring together to grow this “beet beet”. “i hope that more citizens of qingdao will taste my fruits and vegetables!” he laughed。
