As the saying goes, "the snow is empty and empty." by mid-december, open-air onions had largely been harvested. At this point, the plant of the intelligent agricultural science and technology park in wahua, ancho, will be planted in the sheds around the spring, in a sap of onion, green oil, straight forward and straight。
Our onions have been grown for thousands of years, with traditional onions growing, from seedlings to plants to harvests, almost entirely manual. In recent years, shandong wahua agricultural science and technology corporation (hereinafter referred to as “wawa agricultural corporation”) has explored the full mechanization of onions cultivation and promoted onions socialization services, effectively addressing the high cost of cash crop labour such as onions。
The plant is used to plant seedlings, so that onions are squirted and the basis for mechanized planting is laid。
The city of ancho has been growing around 300,000 acres a year, producing 1. 2 million tons, one of the largest onions in the country and an important export base for the country. “ancho onion” was recognized as a national geographical marker product in 2011 and was certified as a european union geographical marker product in 2018. At present, ancho onions have been growing from early spring to late autumn。
Traditional onions are grown with a low rate of land use, with only five or six acres of onion seedling being planted, and with low productivity of artificial migration. The introduction of plant seedlings and mechanized planting is the first step in the socialization of onions。
It's not easy for onions to be plant-based. Small onion seeds and thinner skins make it difficult to plant them directly. To this end, the wavald agriculture corporation has explored the techniques of onion seed-ball granular packaging, making irregular onion seeds into smooth spherical shapes using specialty materials. After the wrapping, the size increased 20 times. “the onions that follow the wrapping can be sown mechanically and accurately to seedlings. A sap of 220 caves, 3 grains each, standard 660 seedlings.” liu kai, executive director and chief technical officer of the waha agricultural corporation, said that。
The traditional onions move, where a person does not plant half an acre a day, the plant is used to plant seedlings, and the size of the seedlings is evenly balanced, and a machine is able to plant an acre in an hour。
There are also “accidents” on the way to the socialization of onions. Liu kai described the fact that 10 years ago, when businesses first settled in ancho, they wanted to grow onions, mainly to supply the noodles, and to process and export them. “the enterprise is based on thousands of acres, which require hundreds of workers to work simultaneously at peak hours. Not only is it unmanageable, but labour costs are high. In order to solve this problem, enterprises have begun to explore the development of mechanized technologies and equipment for the entire range of onions from seed to harvest.”
The wavald agricultural corporation has developed onion seed wrapping techniques。
Subsequently, the wahua agricultural company made a breakthrough in the five core stages of onion seed-ball granular packaging, precision seeding, plant breeding, automated planting, and intensive harvesting, accompanied by improvements and the development of related machinery. “many farmers have seen our base onions being mechanized, and have contacted us to ask if they can grow them. We only realized that onion socialization services have huge market demand.” liu kai said。
The traditional onions are planted with seedlings that are extracted before planting, which is harmful to the root system and often takes about 10 days to grow. In the case of plant-based seedlings, mechanized seedlings do not cause harm to the root system, avoid slow seedling processes, and the range, distance, depth, etc. Can be flexible. At present, in the city of ancho, 30,000 acres of onions are provided by the wahua agricultural corporation for socialization services。
In the light of the onion socialization service model, the waha agricultural corporation has explored techniques for the socialization of beryllium and onions in several county municipalities. In addition, industry standards for technical protocols for the production of seedlings in onion plants, with business-led participation, are being drafted。
