Red Net Moment News on December 20(Correspondent Wang Hui) days of low temperature, rain and snow weather has a great impact on agricultural production, many citrus farmers are taking measures such as mulching fruit trees to actively deal with it, in order to reduce possible losses.
After more than a day of work, the more than 200 acres of sugar orange orchards in Dacun Village, Daxu Town, can immediately complete all the film covering work. I saw that the workers worked together, first unfolding the film, then using a long pole to pick up the film to cover the entire row of fruit trees, and then using a rope to firmly tie the film to the wooden stake or trunk on the ground, a complete film is completed. Now is the critical period when sugar oranges are about to ripen and go on the market, and in this way, it can effectively alleviate the damage caused by low temperature rain and snow, especially freezing rain, to sugar orange fruits.
The key to our cold protection is to prevent freezing rain, which penetrates into it when the freezing rain comes out, and the core inside it will be wrinkled when it warms up and comes out of the sun. Yi Wenjun, a sugar orange grower, said.
This piece of sugar orange planted 6 years ago is currently the first period of hanging fruit, due to the good climatic conditions this year, coupled with proper management, the quantity and quality of orchard hanging fruit are better than in previous years, only to see a bunch of yellow clear, heavy sugar orange hanging on the branches, exuding an attractive orange fragrance, making people salivate. In order to prevent the fruit trees from being crushed, they are also supported by bamboo or wooden sticks, and many foreign merchants have come to inquire and order, mainly sold to the northern market. It is expected that after this cold wave, about 1.6 million catties of sugar oranges in the entire orchard can be picked and sold one after another.
