On 20 march, in the middle of the spring, in the high mountain field of the huedong town rehabilitation village of po xing county, villagers were raiding their farms to plant high mountain medicine. The daedoon-jiang army was crouched on the ground and carefully examined the spacing of each sapling. Behind him, the last year saw the planting of bare pine fields, which were clearly lax。
“this land, which had grown so hard in previous years, was barely able to keep pace with the earth's strength, and had to rest for a year or two.” the jin jian army seized a piece of dirt and stung it in his hand, “it's different now, when the mountain medicine is collected, it grows red pine, and when it comes to planting, the land is not free, but it grows fatter.”
The change in the jin jian army's mouth stems from the “poison pox” rotation model that is being promoted locally. As a well-known grower in the surrounding area, he witnessed the transformation of high mountain medicine from “neighborhood” to “near famous”. With a unique growth environment of over 2,000 km above sea level, the mountain medicine produced here is fine and tasted, and in recent years it has gradually moved to such areas as chengdu, chongqing, beijing and shanghai。
But the jin jian army has always had a puss: high mountain medicine is good, but there is a “temporal” - after two or three years of planting, the land becomes barren, disease and pests increase, and yields and quality decline. According to traditional practice, the land can only be given a “suspension” and a one- or two-year fallow restoration. And when the land is free, the income is cut off。
In the past year, under the supervision of technical staff of the agricultural rural directorate of po xing county, the army found a way to solve the problem. He tried to plant red pineapple in a pedestal that was about to fall. “the chromosomes are cultured from the lower toes of crops such as rice shells, corn cores, and, after harvesting, the slag rots directly into the ground and becomes the best organic fertilizer.” he explained that not only did this crop fall off at a good price, but that the land that would otherwise need to fall asleep was also “fed with nutrients” and that this year it was planting mountain medicine。
“the land used to rest and the land was left unearthed. It's now a season of laxity, fattening and earning more money.” in the past, the gong-jian army accounted for a single mountain drug with an acre value of about $15,000, and after a rotational pattern, the value of acre production amounted to over 20,000 a season, doubling total revenue. "the land is the land that earns two dollars a year and fattens the ground, and it's paid for!"
This model is confirmed by yang jianhua, a researcher in agricultural extension in po xing county. He described the alpine drug as a deep-seated crop, which consumed soil nutrients and was easily associated with reduced earth power and pest accumulation. As a shallow root bacteria, the slag is rich in organic and useful microbes that can effectively improve the soil structure and lift the earth's power, just to compensate for the short sheeting of mountain medicine. “the rotation of the two crops solves the problem of the need for sanctuaries and transforms the winter clearing fields into harvests
The benefits go up and the villagers' pockets go up. A large number of villagers in the surrounding area found jobs in front of their homes during the planting and harvesting period. “when farming used to be done, it had to work. There are now four seasons a year, and tens of thousands of dollars can be earned by working at the base alone.” the villager yang, who was working in the field, laughed。
It's the market that's keeping growers safe. As the branding effect of high mountain drugs and red turpentine has evolved, more and more visitors from the field have taken the initiative to order at home. “all old clients, advance bookings, no worries at all.” yong jian said。
As a next step, po xing county will step up its support for this green and efficient cultivation model, seeking to make the mountain pharmacine-fruit rotation model an additional feature of the county's agricultural efficiency and increased farmers' incomes, and to inject a strong dynamic energy into the overall revitalization of the village。
In the spring and the sun, the jin jian army stood up and photographed the dirt on its hands, looking at the piles of fields in front of it, looking at expectations: “as before, two years of cropping would have to rest for a year; now, the years and seasons will have to wait and the days will have passed.”
After:
One land, two harvests, ranging from “two-year breaks” to “annual harvests, seasonal harvests”, and the vivid practice of the rotational model of the pocing county “mountain medicines - red pine” mirror the clear path of mountain agriculture from its tradition to modern efficiency。
The challenge of detaching the earth is not about “waiting”, but about “changing”. The first-hand experience with the development of the daedoon construction army illustrates the importance of science and technology-enabled agriculture. Growing red pine, fattening the land, and drumming up the kidneys. Behind this is the precision of agricultural technology promotion and the fact that the concept of green development takes root in the fields。
This pattern of rotation is worth promoting。
