Chapter 1855 Scientific research and getting rich are both possible
“The seeds of this pomegranate are also soft!” Li Lu had already started eating, and then said: “The taste is quite good, but the fruit is more sour than the Moroccan pomegranate. Heavy.”
“This In Daliang Mountain, there is abundant sunshine and a large temperature difference between day and night. Whether it is Yanyuan apples, Mianning navel oranges, or Puge cherries, the sugar content of fruits is generally higher than outside," Liang Guangping said: "So if this pomegranate is promoted to other places. If so, the sweetness will be lowered by one level... ..."
After speaking, he shook his head: "In terms of taste, I think it is a bit sour, but it is unique, but it is only suitable for promotion in Liangshan Prefecture. If it is used in other places, I am afraid it cannot compete with Moroccan pomegranates. "< br>
“Brother Liu, you This is just too far-fetched." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It will take decades to complete the promotion of these two varieties in the Anning River Valley. By the time you mentioned, there will be no new ones. Hybrid varieties have been introduced.”
Liang Guangping nodded and said: "That's true. Nowadays, the pomegranate is cold-resistant, has a slightly sour taste, and looks a little worse. The Moroccan pomegranate looks good and has a pure fruit taste, but it is very prone to frost damage. It only takes -5 degrees below zero to give It causes damage, and both sides still have a lot of room for improvement.”
“In fact, the fruit is sour. The reason is that the pomegranate from Tao Wazi was not very good." Lao Chiri said while eating the pomegranate: "We can't choose the pomegranates in Liangshan Prefecture, they have to be numb to taste."< br>
"Ah? Really?" Although Liu Hongtao is a pomegranate tree owner, he didn't know that the pomegranates in Liangshan Prefecture had such characteristics.
“Actually, I quite like eating this kind of fruit-sour flavor.” Zhou Zhi expressed satisfaction: “The lychees in my hometown also have a bit of fruit-sour flavor, and I think they are better than those in Guangdong. Lychees are delicious "
"Then the real dragon pomelo from your hometown is pure sweet, and you said it is more delicious than the sour ones outside." Li Lu immediately exposed Zhou Zhi: "Anyway, the ones from my hometown are better. Right? ”
"That is really delicious." Zhou Zhi said: "Oh, by the way, I have now learned the techniques of high branch layering and young branch cutting. Can I also promote it in my hometown?"
"Citrus Rootstocks Grafting technology is easier to propagate and is easier for villagers to master. In addition, high-branch layering and wrapping techniques can also be used. The propagation of young branches is relatively difficult and requires careful management. It is usually used in the early stages of propagation. " Liu Hongtao said: "According to your description, the Zhenlong pomelo and lychee in your hometown should have passed the primary promotion stage. With a large enough mother stock of available branches, there is no need to use young branches with higher technical requirements." The cuttings are propagated. "
The cuttings are divided into hard branches and young branches. The hard branches are two-year-old branches more than one meter long. After technical treatment, they are planted into the cultivation soil like a tree. , waiting for it to grow into a small tree.
Tender cuttings are made by taking new annual branches and cutting them into thin strips of 20 to 30 centimeters. Just ensure that there are buds on the branches. Then seal the top with wax, soak the bottom with auxin, and then Move it into a small dish of nutrient soil prepared with coconut bran, rice husk carbon, volcanic stone, ecological compound fertilizer, etc. for intensive cultivation, and wait for the root system to grow before transplanting.
The nursing process has special requirements for medicine, water, fertilizer, temperature and humidity. It generally has to be carried out in a plastic greenhouse with ideal isolation conditions. It also needs to be disinfected when entering and exiting the greenhouse to avoid bringing in diseases. Various monitoring facilities also need to be complete. In short, it is not a method of expansion that ordinary villagers can play.
However, this propagation method also has its biggest advantage, which is that the propagation speed is extremely fast. The five Moroccan pomegranates currently transplanted to the base have controlled their flowering this year and reserved all nutrients for root consolidation and branch growth. Lianhe Township has a favorable climate, and a lot of branches were obtained during the maintenance work of pruning and height-controlling branches in autumn.
In the north, these branches would have to be thrown away, because it is impossible to breed new seedlings under the severe cold winter conditions in the north, but it is different in Lianhe Township. Even in winter, the temperature is basically below 5 With the temperature above and the addition of greenhouses, Liu Liangzhen decided to start attempts to propagate in autumn and winter.
A twig has seven or eight bud heads, which can be divided into seven or eight cutting branches. Five trees have expanded into 340 or 50 cutting pots this time. Considering the survival rate, it is impossible One hundred percent, Liu Liangzhen would probably be satisfied with just three hundred seedlings.
Even three hundred seedlings are already the size of three family orchards. In two years, these orchards will begin to contribute branches again, and those branches can turn into thousands of seedlings.
In the future, there will be no need for this extremely costly twig cutting technology. New varieties can be promoted very quickly through technical means such as high-branch layering, wrapping, twig cutting, and grafting. Of course, the prerequisite is that local promotion and publicity are effective. After all, grafting and changing varieties will cause fruit farmers to have no harvest for two years, and it is not easy to make them give up their immediate profits for two years.
But by that time, the current conflict of seedling shortage has transformed into another kind of worry.
“We don’t have such a problem in Lianhe Township.” Lao Chiri was very single and expressed no pressure on Zhou Zhi’s concerns: “Anyway, we will grow good pomegranates in the future. Selling seedlings, there is no grafting "The best thing is to find some new varieties that have changed their shape during the grafting process, and get a new variety with a taste close to Moroccan pomegranates and a viability close to that of Oriental pomegranates. That would be perfect." "Li Lu said.
"That is your task." Zhou Zhi said: "Fortunately, the income from agricultural technology is also good now, and scientific research can make you rich."
As soon as these words came out, Li Lu, Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao all laughed. China is still a major agricultural country. The annual demand for pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, saplings, foals, calves, etc. is endless.
Zhou Zhi knows that in his hometown, a lychee seedling or a real dragon pomelo seedling costs about three to five yuan. In a breeding and expansion base like Lianhe Township, one acre of ground can almost Ten thousand seedlings emerged.
There are two bases, each with an area of 3,000 acres. After development, one base can produce 30 million seedlings a year, with an output value of almost hundreds of millions.
It will take a long time to reach this output, and it may not reach such an extreme peak. Everything will be determined by various factors such as future market demand, but just like the development of Lianhe Township, The future is bright and promising.
Everyone chatted by the fire and felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Even Lao Chiri felt that the kids were amazing. There were many things they discussed that he couldn’t quite understand, but with their confident and high-spirited spirit, it goes without saying that they were awesome!
However, this impression did not last long, because at this time Zhou Zhi's big brother suddenly rang.
There are actually only a few people who know Zhou Zhi’s mobile phone number. When Zhou Zhi looked at the number, he felt strange that it was actually Hu Tianyu calling. He picked up the phone: "Hey, Tianyu, why did you think of calling? This sun Has Xibianer come out?”
Now that there is convenient satellite network communication, Clover Company and Zhouzhi Communication are all using the super convenient KouKou.
KouKou’s latest features allow for real-time video calls, but they are limited to LAN and satellite networks, and the transmission rate of today’s dial-up lines cannot be reached.
For experienced players like San Xiaozhu, not to mention Internet surfing, even many waves are created by them, so the preferred method of contact is not the phone.
Hu Tianyu's tone changed in such a hurry: "Elbow! Our house was ransacked!"
"What the hell?! What do you mean?!"
