"the mid-berries have been sprung and sold well, and the old clients call each year!" on 3 september, luchi, head of the 7-mile camp in new country county, was standing in a hut, laughing at the beautiful strawberries. The cave seedlings in her shed came from the zhengzhou fruit tree institute of the chinese academy of agricultural sciences (hereinafter referred to as the zhengzhou fruit tree institute) seedlings, which, after planting, grew almost without the need to slow down and could grow the next day, saving at least five days from the traditional bare seedlings。
As a large strawberries grower for three consecutive years of “middleberry vanilla”, luchi really admires this type: “it is particularly good in terms of merchandise, fruity in shape, bright in colour and long shelf life. Not to mention, there's apples and flowers, and all the customers who give gifts specify it. It also has a simple management of cultivation, a continuous layer of production, guaranteed production, high marketing prices and greater economic efficiency than old varieties.” today, many of the “middleberry” varieties, such as “middle-berry” and “middle-berry-6”, are well developed in 20 real huts in luchi, and have a remarkable performance, both in traditional planting and in super-high sorghum patterns。
The “middleberry” series of new strawberry varieties is the third generation of strawberry varieties cultivated by the zhengzhou fruit tree and a key result of the breakout of the foreign monopoly of home-grown strawberry varieties. It is understood that this range of varieties has overcome the problems of japanese varieties that are resistant to disease, saline and storage, while improving the hard and acidic disadvantages of european and american varieties。
Good varieties depend on quality seedlings. According to li, the zhengzhou fruit tree institute has a 30-acre strawberry detoxification seeding centre with an area of 12,000 square metres, with a strict four-stage nursery system that can produce 40,000 seedlings and 800,000 “middleberry” series seedlings per year. “the seedlings are grown over two seasons a year, the first generation is completed between march and july and the second generation between july and november, with a fertility coefficient of between 500 and 1,000. And each seedling will be individually marked, and after winter, the seedlings will be on the market to ensure that they are pure and healthy.” lee just said。
"middleberry fragrance, a thick tree. 20 cm range, 25 cm range, bow back, deep, shallow, two rows in stylish shape, watering immediately after planting, life rate is low!" on 4 september, in the horticultural farm in hueji district of zhengzhou city, the head of the administration, du xiaoqing, was busy fixing strawberry seedlings while introducing journalists to the newly introduced “middleberry” series of production seedlings, with expectations in his words。
For the first time this year, du xiao liang tried to plant the “middleberry” series of strawberries, with the only three huts, the “middleberry vanad” in two sheds and the “middleberry 6” in one. "tried three sheds to see how it works. If you grow and sell well, you'll have to expand the area next year!" he stated that the choice of the “middleberries” series was a recognition of the heat of the country's product species in the market and of the quality of the characteristics transmitted by the grower's inter-household, and that he wanted to open up the strawberries market on his farm with good varieties。
The twilight “smelling” act is a microcosm of the rise in the heat in the market for the strawberry series. It is known that over 1 million seedlings have been produced this year, including the “middleberry” series, from the strawberry seedling base in zhengzhou, of which 800,000 have been sold out, while traditional varieties such as “red” “zhang ji” have hardly been consulted。
“the seeds are agricultural `chips' and the nationalization of varieties has always been a chinese strawberries dream.” the extension of the “middleberries” series is gradually breaking the long-standing foreign-dominated pattern of strawberry production in the province of henan. Today, new national strawberry varieties, represented by “middleberries”, are gaining dual approval from growers and markets based on high-quality, high-yielding, easy to manage advantages, becoming the first choice for an increasing number of growers, injecting new kinetic energy into the development of the strawberry industry in the context of rural revitalization, and making farmers more productive。
