Rural agricultural proverb The land is iron, and the dung is steel, and the manure is applied on the blade of the knife.
In the folk, it is common to hear a variety of agricultural proverbs, such as:"The earth is iron, the dung is steel, and the manure is mixed with the blade"。These proverbs are closely related to our agricultural practices and are conclusions that people have come to after repeated practice. For our descendants, these words seem to be superficial, but they contain a lot of life philosophy, as long as we seriously comprehend it, there will be an inexhaustible harvest. Let's take a look, what is the meaning of this agricultural proverb?
i.Manure is iron: the importance of farmyard manure.
When it comes to farm fertilizer, it is estimated that only rural people have a deep memory. In the past, many children followed their parents to pick up cow and sheep manure, and even used pallet trucks to pull farm manure to the fields. The unpleasant smell of farmhouse manure may have left a deep impression on the hearts of many rural children. Although farm manure was dirty, it was a valuable fertilizer for farmers at the time.
Why was the food good before? Why are vegetables safe to eat? In fact, this has a lot to do with the fact that farmers often use farm manure. Now, even the vegetables grown by the farmers themselves are not as good as they were more than 20 years ago. This has a lot to do with the application of farmyard fertilizer. At that time, there was a shortage of fertilizer, and farmers had no money to buy fertilizer, so everyone had to use farm fertilizer. In order not to starve to death, people strive to obtain farm fertilizer.
Second, fertilizer on the cutting edge: fertilization is also a technical job.
When it comes to this topic, it is estimated that many farmers know it. Next year, in the case that even farm manure is a treasure, how to use it well and how effective it is is also a problem that some farmers will think about. When it comes to using farmyard fertilizer, people have two problems:
1. Farmhouse fertilizer needs to be fermented. During the decomposition process, the feces release a lot of heat. These calories kill bacteria and eggs in the stool. At the same time, the fermented farmyard manure will not damage the crop seedlings.
2. Farm fertilizer should not be too close to the root system of crops. This is mainly to prevent the farmyard manure from not fermenting sufficiently, releasing heat, and eventually burning the root system and affecting crop growth. Therefore, farmyard manure should only be applied away from the roots.
3. The deep meaning of this agricultural proverb: success requires help, but pay attention to when to help.
Farming in the countryside is not a simple matter. If you just sow seeds in the field and then leave them alone, you will definitely not be able to harvest the grain in the end. In this case, you need to provide more nutrients for the crop to grow and apply them at the right time each year for the best results.
Just like you have to do a difficult thing, you also need help from others. Having someone to help, and to help at the right time, increases the chances that things will go smoothly.
Summary. This agricultural proverb has a strong guiding significance for the field of agricultural culture in later generations. From here, it is not difficult to see the significance of inheriting these popular agricultural proverbs.
