Guangzhou academy of agricultural and rural sciences “up to new”! The most recent development of the new type “fruit melon 4” was the result of a six-year-old development that broke the perception of traditional melons with its breakthrough taste quality and planting efficiency, while doubling the revenues of 42 farmers in the southern sand region through the “co-farmer” synergy model。
Six years of research and research on healthy seeds:
The fruit guacamole was born
In guangzhou city, a guacamole was planted in the village of siguang, in the southern part of the town of guangzhou, on green vines full of oily and luminous melons。
The new species of jade no. 4 were developed over six years by the team of dr. Cho yan chun of the guangzhou academy of agricultural and rural sciences. Since 2018, scientific teams have been carefully sifted out of hundreds of quality resources, eventually using green meat and fruit-type melons as parentages, with oily, black fruit-coated, short-formed melons forming this groundbreaking species。
“we seek not only production, but also a better balance between quality and resistance.” dr. Cho yanchun explained that, following a rigorous selection pressure test, the vitamin c content of jade 4 and the soluble solids were 1. 4 and 1. 2 times, respectively, of the common species, with small heart and a tight meat mass, with a high commodity rate of 97 per cent。
Speciality quality wins the market:
I've been selling it all over again
As soon as the fruit festival market was launched, it won many consumers' approvals, known as “measles that can be eaten as fruit”。
The fruit festival offers three main core advantages: first, high taste, a 20 per cent increase in sweetness compared to traditional varieties and a particularly suitable diet for light foods; second, nutritional enrichment, with a value of up to 26. 7 mg per 100 grams of vitamin c, which has thermal decomposition; and third, strong storage, with a shelf extension of 15 days and reduced transport losses to less than 5 per cent。
“we used to grow a diet, and now we're priced for less than what is needed.” the director of the professional cooperative for vegetative vegetables, liang yuntao, had made a deal: six melons in a gift box had been sold to 88 yuan, leading to a jump in farm acre earnings from 8,000 to 18,000 yuan。
Technology systems are effective:
The sheds make big profits
To ensure that the full potential of varieties is released, the scientific team has innovatively developed a three-in-one culture technology system: first, environmental precision control: management of the temperature and humidity of differences in breeding, growth and outcome periods through a three-temperature triple control system; second, space optimization: introduction of a single-scale medium-density plant with a combination of smart chickens, with a 40 per cent increase in light utilization; and third, growth cycle regulation: deployment of red and blue light refuelling equipment, promotion of nutritional growth in the morning and shift to reproductive growth in the evening。
"as dr. Joe's approach, my three acres earns more than $50,000 a year." the model household, chen bo, displayed his planting diary: following the use of the shed technology, a single stock of 5-7 standard melons was produced, with a two-day round collected during the busiest hours. It is even more rare that the production of this species on its anniversary, early spring and late autumn, combined with winterization, significantly prolongs the yield cycle。
Industry linkages for revitalization:
Triangulation
An initial industrial chain from laboratory to table has been set up since 2023, when the “scent farmer” synergy was launched by the western union of shares and shares cooperative economics of the town of togumi town, the specialized co-operatives of vegetables and vegetables in the southern sands region and the guangzhou rural academy of agricultural sciences. Weekly expert village guidance with over 300 training sessions per year. In 2024, 40,000 high-quality seedlings were distributed free of charge and more than 30 acres were distributed in the core areas。
With the creation of the western guangdong brand, the village was successfully selected for the “one village one” in guangdong province and the “one village one” in guangzhou city. Currently, the project has led to the participation of 42 farmers, with an increase of over $500,000 per year。
