In recent days, the quinta county agricultural technical service centre has organized specialized technical staff to reach out to the county agricultural base of facilities, providing precision technical guidance to greenhouse tomato growers and helping to stabilize tomato production in the spring。
It is now at a critical stage in the growth of greenhouse tomatoes and is also at an infestable stage of diseases such as tomatoes and leaf moths. The technicians visited each room, focusing on the size of the tomato plant, the development of flowers and pests. In the course of the instruction, technicians, in response to the characteristics of day and night temperature differentials in the spring and the volatility of humidity in the shed, explained to growers in detail the techniques of temperature management, emphasizing the need to keep day temperature in the shed at 25-28°c, at night at 15-18°c and at 60% humidity, in order to create a suitable environment for tomato growth, including through proper ventilation and cover of temperature protection。
With regard to the control of tomatoes, technicians demonstrated on-site the installation of adult trappers, the identification of larvae hazard blades, and directed growers to reduce infestation through a combination of “physical control + biological control”, such as cedaring, the release of bees, etc., while alerting farmers to enhance field patrols and to detect pests in time to clean up affected leaves and avoid spreading. In addition, technicians conduct on-site demonstrations on techniques such as tomato tanning, flower berries and integrated management of water fertilizers, helping growers to solve practical problems such as the planting of long-growing plants and falling fruit。
“technologists have spoken in a practical way, having encountered tomato leaf curls and fruit malformations before, and now mastering the science of care, much more solidly in their hearts.” master li, the greenhouse tomato grower in the town of ginta, said that the guidance of the technicians gave him more confidence in the tomato harvest this year。
In the next step, the kinta county agricultural technology service centre will continuously follow the tomato growth cycle, combine with the prediction of trends in pests and diseases, develop dynamic technical guidance services, promote advanced technologies such as green control and standardized planting, and provide solid technical support for the agricultural efficiency of the county-wide facilities and for the increased enrichment of farmers。
