Introduction
You know what? Garlic seedlings, which appear to be home-grown vegetables, already occupy a place in the global food industry. According to statistics, china is the world's leading producer of garlic seedlings, supplying more than 70 per cent of global demand. However, it is not casual to plant a “top” garlic seed that hides a full set of scientifically cumbersome technical tools behind it. So the question arises: how does a leaf with green oil and a thick garlic seed become? Today, we're going to dissect this little guy's growth code。
"first climax."
It's the same as garlic. Why is it so juicy, so high? The point of contention is hidden in these key words. Grow good garlic seedlings, variety choices, garlic processing, sowing techniques, planting environments... Every step of the way is like driving to the driver's degree iii, so i'll tell you where something's going to happen. This divides farmers in choosing cultivation techniques. Some of the manpower masters are “the king's way”, while others believe that “management is fundamental”. So, what's more scientific? Don't worry. Let's keep the truth going down。
Development
Through spicy eyes, we start digging deep. First, the choice of varieties is the beginning of all the stories, like the food of a dish. Mischosen varieties can't save the best cooking. Imagine, if the garlic seed varieties are weak and the leaves are as thin as paper, then not only do they feel like “plugs”, but farmers also watch it be eaten out by pests, which would be like running a marathon in a small car. Experts have repeatedly stressed that varieties such as “grunt garlic” “grunt garlic” are seed players in this “race” and are particularly suitable for cultivation in the north, and that friends in the south can prefer “sichuan ii early” as an early, well-established and efficient type of “scrutinous garlic”. I've heard about it. Can't anyone think about growing it
However, only “eats” are dealt with, and garlic is far from growing up. The overall environment for cultivation is critical. For example, we practice muscles in gyms, winter winds and summer heats can make people suffer. Similarly, garlic seedlings are “smuggle”, and cool climates are the best for it to grow. In the “golder temperate zone” of 15-25°c, its leaves increase rapidly and coarsely, yet it is easy to strike if temperatures are below 5°c or above 28°c. Not to mention the “day-to-day chores” such as light and water, which are not well managed, and where is the sense of garlic
The point is that smart farmers are not content with doing their job. They've developed a lot of management details; for example, cutting up garlic petals to increase the growth rate; or by artificially controlling the light, creating a comfortable environment for garlic seedlings similar to the “spare resort”. Doesn't that sound like a pet? Yes, but the "child" is worth it because its economic benefits are self-evident。
"first down."
The challenge was also revealed as growers gradually seized the “temporal” of garlic seedlings. In recent years, the climate has become increasingly irregular in some regions. The farmers said, "it's been 10 days since the first sprouts, and now more than 20 days have come out of their heads. No wonder the wind is not right!" continuous high temperatures or cold tides have directly halted the growth of many garlic seedlings and even reduced production in large areas. Paradoxically, however sophisticated the planting techniques are, they cannot stop the attacks。
Like many years of business people fighting the economic crisis, old farmers in the garlic wars have come up with a reason -- - field management is the hardest part. If fertilizers are ignored or saplings are ignored, there will be a large “sickness” of garlic seedlings, which, though thick, will be of no use to them; and, for example, the nature of garlic seedlings is as shallow as a herbs, and they drink “water”, but more water is easily “swollen” (water swollen roots). The problems of these “deep currents” seem insignificant, but a single failure could lead to the loss of year-round hard work. No wonder someone said, “the garlic seed is not grown in the field, but on the tip of the heart.”
Second orgasm
Just as you have found a way to solve all the problems, another amazing news comes out behind the garlic industry: the international market needs a blow to supply. Emerging markets like south asia and eastern europe, where demand for garlic commodities has skyrocketed, even creating new high prices in several countries. This “reverse drama” has made more farmers aware that the original “money scene” of garlic is much broader than expected。
This news is also striking, as people are still struggling to figure out which varieties are better tasted, and they have already treated garlic seedlings as “export star products” and taken the wind of the “across the road” to spread it abroad. This is a breakthrough opportunity for domestic growers, while increasing competition. If the process was not optimized, the price battle would be even worse. So, which farmers will be the victors in today's changing technology? The answer lies in the production and quality of garlic seed。
Second low tide
However, the crown must bear its weight. On the one hand, the export of large quantities of garlic seedlings presents farmers with a triple challenge of high productivity and high standards, such as stricter export standards than domestic ones, and the risk that pesticide residues in the process of planting, if exceeded standards, will be returned; and, on the other hand, the technical requirements for preservation in the logistics transport process, for example, the slight negligence of garlic seedlings, which can be reduced to a low level of taste as a result of “water and soil incompetence”. On the other hand, excess production and lower prices of garlic seedlings do not increase the earnings of some growers as production increases。
In addition, there has been a growing tension between scale cultivation and small-scale family farmers. Scalable agriculture is technologically advanced and has low management costs, but if small farmers are unable to heat themselves up, they will be unsuspected markets “leavers”. This has allowed the “garlic-smoking economy”, which appears to be calm, to reveal more dark tides。
♪ in the end ♪
At the end of the day, garlic seedlings are like “child-rearing” and have to deal with a wave of unexpected “growth problems”. Its economic value has been hailed, and its breeding difficulties have been questioned; some have been enriched through it and others have been struggling to wander along the road. So, is it good or bad that the door to international markets is open? Perhaps, as that said, the industrial chain, like a relay race, can run fast enough to fail the finish line。
I'm sorry
Garlic seedlings are growing on a high standard and on a large scale, but do you think that this industrialization approach will gradually deprive “small farmers” of development space? Or are we all eating? Leave a message about your opinion
