Chapter 1951 I owe Sapling
"Grandma Liu, what you said is a bit ambiguous." Zhou Zhi was very calm: "We have a working relationship now. Xiaomiao is certainly very good in her professional field, but in life But she is a little confused, and she lacks courage and professionalism in project management. In short, she is just the kind of girl who has just entered the university campus.”
"Since the country has handed over this laboratory to the Clover Group to complete, of course I have to be responsible for it, so the care of the seedlings is a little special."
"Well, it's better to be special. This You have to take good care of the girl, she is not only the treasure of your school, but also the treasure of the country.”
“I know this well”
"This year is a good harvest year." Liu Liangzhen said with a smile: "Judging from the results, we came to Liangshan Prefecture to develop the pomegranate industry and the cherry industry. This is the right path. You know after the intensive training of our first phase of saplings? How high is the success rate?”
“I don’t know, but I think most of the saplings in the greenhouse are alive.”
The so-called intensive training is to cultivate the saplings in the laboratory and then move them into a nutrient soil base dish made of volcanic rocks, coconut bran, rice husk carbon, and other nutrients in strict proportions. After the saplings grow to a height of more than ten centimeters, they are moved to a greenhouse for cultivation in a more natural environment, allowing the saplings to grow stronger.
Now that these saplings have grown quite healthy and stable, the greenhouse has begun to be ventilated. Except for excessive protection from rain and snow, the rest of the growth conditions are almost the same as in the wild.
“The survival rate reached 98%, and only four plants were eliminated. Moreover, both the growth rate and the branching rate are far stronger than those in the north.”
"This is really great news!" Zhou Zhi was of course very happy to hear that Moroccan pomegranates were growing so vigorously at the base: "Why did Grandma Liu take the exam for me today? Huh? Is it time to transplant them from the greenhouse to the wild?"< br>
“Hahaha, you machine The energy is not given in vain." Liu Liangzhen said happily: "Yes, the intensive training has been completed, and we will transplant the saplings into the orchard today."
"We have eighty trees. Zhou Zhi was so happy that his molars were coming out: "Let's agree first and distribute it in proportion." "
"Don't worry, do the preliminary training under our guidance first, and then pass the course." Liu Liangzhen said, "Let's go and see how you have learned recently."< br>
There are actually some skills in transplanting pomegranate trees In theory, mature pomegranate saplings can be transplanted all year round. However, from the perspective of scientific planting, it is necessary to adjust the garden conditions and determine the best transplanting time according to the climate of each place. , specifically, it should generally be best after germination and before enlarging leaves.
But Liu Liangzhen combined local climate records and Huili pomegranate management experience and found that this problem does not exist in Liangshan Prefecture. The main reason is that sufficient sunshine and relatively high temperatures allow the growth and photosynthesis of pomegranate trees to reach optimal conditions. , just do a good job in night management when the temperature is lower.
The so-called night management is also simple. Basic insulation measures such as covering with grass and film are enough.
By this time, the transplant survival rate is basically 100%.
When we arrived at the orchard opened for saplings at the base, the study team sent by Lianhe Township had dug round pits one by one. Lao Chiri and Tu Liangzhi were organizing everyone to dig into the pits. Pour into the new soil mixed with leaf mold soil, original soil and river sand, and add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer.
This piece of land faces the sun and has a slightly higher slope. Zhou Zhi stepped on it and found that after half a year and two seasons of planting wild rice and plowing it as green manure, as well as adding additional decomposed organic fertilizer, the soil has now become It must be loose, fertile and well-drained.
The remaining work is to cut the pomegranate saplings with soil clumps at the roots into short sections, plant them in a pit, and pour root water thoroughly. When the spores start to grow, you can use means to release the saplings to make them grow quickly. . "Uncle Tu, have you learned it?" Zhou Zhi asked: "Aunt Jike doesn't need to learn it, but you are different. You have forgotten all the tricks, right?"
"That's better than You are strong!" Tu Liangzhi's voice was loud: "Except for mixing pesticides, there is nothing like you. If you have a bright mind, you need to look at the watch, and nothing else is better than you!”
Indeed, at this point, it is already the simplest way to harvest crops, but when summer comes, timely pruning will be necessary! , improve ventilation and light transmission conditions, and reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
The main diseases include white rot, black pox, and anthracnose. Therefore, the pomegranate tree must be sprayed with the same amount of Bordeaux liquid diluted 200 times every half month or so. If the disease is severe, fungicide dilutions such as Tucobacter, Mancozeb, and Carbendazim should be sprayed.
It's actually not that complicated.
The pruned branches can also be used for cuttings and seedlings. Although this is the most energy-consuming propagation method, the propagation results are also the most obvious, and it is very suitable for the initial propagation work of the orchard.
When there are more saplings that can be propagated from branches in the future, we can use relatively low-technical propagation methods such as high-altitude layering and long-branch cuttings.
After filling the water, Lao Chiri directed everyone to cover half of the pomegranate tree with grass and half with film. This process is called moisture conservation, which means to maintain the temperature and humidity in the soil to make it most suitable for plants. The growth is divided into two methods for the purpose of comparative experiments. It is hoped that grass can be used instead of film in the future to reduce the production costs of fruit farmers.
Liu Liangzhen was very satisfied with the skills of the villagers in planting trees, and said: "Everyone combined their original production experience and newly learned knowledge, and now it seems that the effect is very good. The remaining eighty new seedlings , can be distributed to the countryside for planting in this way.”
"Yeah!" Tu Ziri and the others all cheered in the customary way of young people like Zhou Zhi and others. After working hard for several months, everyone finally saw the results.
The eighty saplings are also divided into groups. Half of the saplings belong to the collective orchard, and the remaining 40 saplings are given priority to agricultural technology students who have come to learn the technology. One family can be allocated five trees.
Compared with planting other trees, it can be said that the agricultural technology students put in a lot of effort this time, and they also gave up going to the construction site to "earn work points." Although Zhou Zhi gave the students some subsidies, Lili Waiwai still lost a lot of short-term profits.
So Zhou Zhi is not worried at all that they will not cherish this batch of seedlings.
Of course, these eight households are not the only ones who have built pig pens and renovated bathrooms in the countryside. Therefore, the current situation is that the countryside owes those households that have renovated a lot of fruit tree seedlings.
Tu Liangzhi didn't understand how Zhou Zhi's trick came about. Originally, remodeling bathrooms and promoting fruit tree planting were not flattering tasks, and he was already prepared for a tough battle. However, the current situation has become a constant Some fellow villagers came to the grain station and asked: Hello! When will the fruit tree seedlings that the countryside owes us be distributed? !
People's hearts are like this. If I say I give it to you, you may still hesitate and be unwilling to take it. But if I owe you something, that's absolutely not possible. You have to get it back no matter what.
Lao Chiri expressed his admiration for Zhou Zhi's way of substituting others. If this baby wasn't a Han baby, he would be a good material to inherit his legacy. He understands people's hearts so well!
So instead of discouraging him, he even quietly added fuel to the flames.
