On april 26th, sichuan online news (kou hsiao pan meishan channel) saw the production of over 60 acres of tomatoes in a row of rows in the vegetable base of the village of zhongxiang, inshou county, sichuan province。
According to the owner of the base, wu yongbin, the base has grown five varieties, including strawberry tomatoes, horse-to-mouth tomatoes and provence, and has introduced earthless cultivation techniques in ditch tanks, which ensure good water retention and effective isolation from earth-borne pests and diseases, creating a clean growth environment for the tomato root system, together with physical means such as periodic disinfection, ventilation and air conditioning, to properly control the disease and pests。
“the strawberry tomatoes are sowed in early october each year and matured in february of the following year, with harvest periods lasting until early may.” u yongbin indicated that, for quality purposes, tomato production was controlled at between 5,000 and 6,000 pounds per acre, with an acre production value of over $48,000。
There is also a shed of tomato base in shekaya town, 30 kilometres from the village of rice, owned by chen orange. Unlike oh yongbin, chen orange is mainly growing fruit tomatoes。
“our fruit tomatoes, which are mainly sweet, jade and red ling varieties, are all ecologically grown and can be collected continuously from the end of april to the end of july at a price of between $8 and $10 per pound.” chen orange described his family's tomatoes as being no longer available every year, and many traders were buying and selling them to various parts of the country。
During the start-up period, chen orange received strong support from the relevant district authorities, and the entire base was upgraded to modern agricultural facilities, and industry was becoming more efficient。
"i got help, and i wanted to help." in the past, chen orange has taken the initiative to bring together interested people to grow fruit tomatoes, and at present, six people in insu county have followed chen orange in planting hundreds of acres of fruit tomatoes。
