In the early morning, in the open-air vegetable planting base of Tonghai County, Yuxi City in the mist, the winter frost turned into fine crystal dew drops on the vegetable leaves, showing a vibrant scene.
Every winter and spring, the vegetable seedling enterprise Yuxi Yisheng seedlings carefully cultivated pea seedlings, baby cabbage seedlings and other out-of-season vegetable seedlings will usher in a sales peak. Talking about this year's sales, Liu Jiakang, the general manager of the company, has the joy of a bumper harvest written on his face.
According to Wang Jiafu, president of the Tonghai County Vegetable Association, it is currently a critical period for winter and spring vegetable cultivation and preparation, and it is expected that by May next year, the county will plant about 180,000 acres of winter and spring vegetables.
Raise seedlings with "electricity" and "seedlings" paint a good "rich scene" in winter and spring
As the largest open-air vegetable planting base in the country, Tonghai County has formed a vegetable industry chain integrating seedling cultivation, open-air planting, cold chain storage and transportation.
Overlooking the vegetable planting base of Tonghai County, the vast fields are like a palette, colorful and spectacular. Going deep into it, it is another scene, the greenhouse is cultivating baby cabbage seedlings, corn seedlings, purple leaf bamboo shoot seedlings, pepper seedlings and ......All kinds of seedlings spit out new greenery and are full of life.
The seedling base has extremely high requirements for equipment, mainly through the power equipment to control the humidity and temperature in the shed, and the suitable environment has a direct relationship with the seedling emergence rate and quality, especially the pepper seedlings, the light insulation is less than 4 hours, and sometimes it is necessary to heat up the seedlings overnight. Liu Jiakang told reporters.
It is understood that there are more than 500 vegetable seedling bases in Tonghai County. Among them, Yuxi Yisheng seedlings have 7 modern seedling bases, covering an area of 70 acres, with temperature control system, sprinkler irrigation system and other facilities in the shed, with a monthly vegetable seedling volume of 29 million, in addition to meeting the local and domestic seedling needs, it is also exported to Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries, with an annual output value of 10.44 million yuan.
In order to do a good job in the winter seedling protection period, the staff of Xiushan Power Supply Station of Yunnan Yuxi Tonghai Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid will regularly come to the garden vegetable seedling seedling base to check the potential safety hazards of greenhouse electricity and send "warm heart" to the winter seedling of the enterprise. "Due to the drop in temperature, the seedlings in the shed need to be heated and germinated with electricity, only the line equipment is guaranteed, in order to ensure normal production, the master of the power supply station will carry out regular safety inspections, we are very relieved. Li Xinghai, the technical director of the garden vegetable seedling base, said.
Teamwork to overcome the breeding technology barrier
Heinuo 306", "Shenke Tiannuo 99", "Jinyin 308" ......At the sampling site, the sample plants were marked with the name of the variety one by one. According to Yang Jincheng, vice president of the Yuxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who commanded the production measurement work on the spot, the experts of the Tonghai County Vegetable Industry Science and Technology Mission will crack the growth "code" of these varieties one by one and "manufacture" the "chips" of high-quality and high-yield fresh corn.
The reporter learned that the Tonghai County Vegetable Industry Science and Technology Mission is the first science and technology mission selected by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology to Yuxi City. Xu Xuezhong, a researcher at the Institute of Horticultural Crops of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, is the head of the group, and is also the head of the Tonghai Vegetable Industry Science and Technology Service Group established by the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to implement the action of "100 regiments and 1,000 members to help farmers increase income". The scientific research and innovation team led by him has been engaged in promoting the key core technology research and demonstration and promotion of the vegetable industry in Tonghai County since last year.
In order to further innovate the working mechanism of science and technology missions, the Provincial Department of Science and Technology launched the selection and dispatch of science and technology missions in 2021. Combined with the actual situation, the science and technology mission takes scientific and technological innovation to support rural revitalization as the main line, and takes "one county, one industry" as the breakthrough point, and carries out "one group, one industry" scientific and technological services in a targeted manner.
According to Wang Jiafu, after the science and technology mission was settled, the local relevant departments, leading enterprises, large planters, and vegetable farmers actively cooperated in scientific and technological research, formed a teamwork mechanism in the county, and worked together to break through the bottleneck of industrial development and help the vegetable industry become bigger and stronger.
Government and enterprise linkage to promote production and sales to help increase income
Not only gold and silver, but also green waters and green mountains. In the interview, the reporter found that in recent years, Tonghai County has actively optimized the planting structure, vigorously promoted green prevention and control technology, increased the quality and safety supervision of agricultural products, promoted the transformation of agricultural production methods, and made every effort to promote the green development of the vegetable industry, driving farmers to increase their income and get rich.
In the Dashu community, the cauliflower planted by vegetable farmer Dong Congyun has been on the market one after another recently, and the price is three times that of last year, with an output value of more than 10,000 yuan per mu.
Xie Shicheng, director of the Tonghai County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, told reporters that thanks to the development model of "company + cooperative + base + farmer" adopted by the county, more people have embarked on the road of increasing income and getting rich. At the same time, the ecological environment should be protected by changing the planting method, adjusting the industrial structure, reducing drugs and other measures, so as to achieve a "double harvest" of ecological and economic benefits.
The reporter learned from Yunnan Yuncai Group that the company has driven nearly 200 farmers to jointly develop the vegetable planting industry in Tonghai, and the average household income will increase by 1,023 yuan in 2022. Wang Wenjun, general manager of the company, said that in recent years, in addition to consolidating the Tonghai base, the company has also adopted the same model of development in other states (cities), which not only solves the problem of "export difficulties" of vegetable farmers in the base, but also boosts the rapid development of the local vegetable industry.
Tonghai County is an important base of China's "southern cuisine to the north" and "western cuisine to the east", over the years, Tonghai vegetables in addition to the best at home and abroad, but also abroad, exported to Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Japan, South Korea and other countries. At present, Tonghai vegetable industry has formed a pattern of "selling the whole country in winter and spring, selling along the coast in summer and autumn, and exporting throughout the year".
