Deep in the mountains, a laboratory, a few blue and white bungalows, and a 50-acre experimental field - this is the science and technology courtyard of Wutao Village, Jiuyang Town, Jianhe County, Guizhou Province. This seemingly "unsightly" small courtyard is the "scientific research institute" of Wang Hongwei, Zhang Zili, and Lin Hailei, graduate students of Shanghai Ocean University.
It is reported that in June 2023, Shanghai Ocean University and Jianhe County signed a contract to establish the Wutao Village Science and Technology Academy in Jianhe County, which will provide technical support through graduate students stationed in the field of agricultural production, relying on experts and professors to provide technical support, focusing on the research and promotion of shrimp and crab farming technology in paddy fields, solving the technical problems of farmers' aquaculture, and serving rural revitalization.
Walking into the small courtyard, on the door buttress, the sign of "Shanghai Ocean University Industry-University-Research Jianhe Science and Technology Courtyard" is particularly eye-catching. Wang Hongwei, Zhang Zili, and Lin Hailei were rushing to the field with buckets, talking and laughing, and were busy putting the rice crabs back into the field after today's observation.
The crab fry are very fragile, and we have to put them back in the field after observation, and we found that the local villagers' rice farming mode is very extensive, and basically they don't care about the fish fry after they are released. Since we are doing experiments and demonstrations, we must do the work meticulously, which is not only 'breeding', but also scientific research, and we need to be more attentive. Lin Hailei said as he put the crab seedlings into the field.
After releasing the crab seedlings, the three of them began to salvage the algae, clean up the water and sprinkle brown sugar water along the ridges.
Since coming to the Science and Technology Academy, the students have almost "grown" in the field, and often stay at the base all day, collecting mud, measuring water quality, tracking growth, disease quarantine, doing experiments, analyzing data, and recording logs. In addition, it is also their daily routine to provide technical services to villagers and solve all kinds of "incurable diseases" in villagers' breeding.
In recent years, Jianhe County has focused on the comprehensive planting and breeding of rice and fishery as a characteristic industry, and is striving to explore a diversified planting and breeding cycle model, and studying the breeding of shrimp and crabs in mountainous areas has become an important topic of the Science and Technology Academy. "Since we are here, we need to find out the growth coefficient of fish, crayfish and crabs here, and also figure out their reproductive performance and gonadal development rules, so as to help local farmers raise fish, crayfish and crabs here. Zhang Zili said with confidence.
The front line is the best classroom. In the end, the graduation of graduate students should also come from each person's specific agricultural practice. "The Science and Technology Academy provides a long-term and stable base for our research topics, so that we can really write the best in the field. We also want to use the experimental field to demonstrate to the farmers, if they can see this better yield and better benefits, they will be more receptive to new technologies and new ideas. Wang Hongwei said.
The establishment of a science and technology courtyard has opened up the "last mile" of scientific aquaculture science and technology innovation and application, connecting this group of graduate students with farmers, who are rooted in the depths of the mountains, write the best on the ground, leave the results in the farmers' homes, and sow the youth in the fields.
Carrying out experimental research in the field, obtaining first-hand data, finding ways to solve problems, and finally forming a suitable local breeding technology plan is a rare and valuable learning opportunity for us, which is very meaningful!Lin Hailei said that the graduate study experience in the Science and Technology Academy brought them not only professional growth, but also the experience of comprehensive literacy and the cultivation of love for agriculture.
