Chapter 41 Admission
Hearing Lao Xiang asked about the progress of the acquisition of Huihuang Seed Industry, Guo Yang spread his hands and said: "Things are not going well. Dadi Group currently has no idea of selling Huihuang Seed Industry. ”
Lao Xiang looked at Guo Yang who looked indifferent, but he became anxious.
"Boss, it's already mid-July, and time is very tight. If sowing is late, alfalfa may not survive the winter."
"And what you said is 'Alfalfa No. 1' The seed production and expansion work must also start early, and we can no longer rely on the existing seed production fields of Huihuang Seed Industry.”
Guo Yang also knew that what Lao Xiang said made sense.
When it comes to the cold resistance of alfalfa, different varieties have different cold resistance. General varieties can also withstand low temperatures of minus 35 degrees.
The lowest temperature in Jiuquan in winter is around minus 30 degrees, although it is above the critical temperature for alfalfa growth.
But if the seeds are sown too late, the newly sprouted seedlings will also be frozen.
So the autumn sowing time from August to October is the best time to sow alfalfa, and it should be earlier rather than later, so that the seedlings can store enough energy before winter, and the overwintering rate will be higher.
After silently calculating in my mind, the time left for project management is at most more than two months.
Guo Yang thought, the progress of project management must be accelerated, and the expansion of 'Alfalfa No. 1' seeds can no longer rely on the seed fields of Brilliant Seed Industry.
After pondering his thoughts, Guo Yangcai said: "The construction progress of the project is indeed very tight. After entering the site, let the construction party ensure the quantity of construction machinery and speed up the progress."
"But quality is not a concern for us. You must control everything and do everything according to the contract. The biggest support I can give you is the project progress payment to ensure that the construction will not be delayed due to payment."
At this time, Guo Yang saw Zhang Wenhao and others again. I went to help the villagers measure the land, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.
"Lao Xiang, what do you think about selecting some good land from the villagers' farmland to be used as seed fields for 'Alfalfa No. 1' seed production and expansion?"
Lao Xiang raised his eyebrows and said: "Yes, it is possible, but mildly saline-alkali soil may also affect the yield of seeds."
I recalled in my mind the survey of villagers' cultivated land by the Planning and Design Institute. The underground water depth was >2m, and the soil salt content was <0.3%.
As long as you take measures to improve the soil through tillage combined with the application of organic fertilizers and drip irrigation, the problem should not be big.
So Guo Yang made a decisive decision and said: "Let's settle it like this. Select land from the village as a seed field. If 'Alfalfa No. 1' doesn't even have this salt tolerance, we can't Don’t expect it to improve soils that are more saline. ”
Thinking about the seed store's label on 'Alfalfa No. 1', Guo Yang was full of confidence.
If he really couldn't overcome the mild saline-alkali land, then he might become a boss who ran away with a bucket.
"In addition, a temporary cowshed needs to be built in the village, and I am going to introduce a few breeding cows."
Guo Yang thought of the high-quality dairy genetic germplasm stored in the seed store , the matter of breeding high-quality cattle must also be put on the agenda.
Lao Xiang nodded and took note and agreed.
"The cowshed is simple, but since the seed field is confirmed to be in Shuangqiao Village, it is best to concentrate on machinery and manpower to improve it first."
"Alfalfa seed production is best sown in mid-to-early August. In this way, after the alfalfa seeds are harvested next July, you can still harvest a crop of alfalfa, and it will be easier to preserve the seedlings during autumn sowing."
Hearing this, Guo Yang laughed and said: "That's just right, the harvest of alfalfa. He No. 1 was just used to feed the cows. Then I will let you see if I am bragging."
Lao Xiang also laughed.
Guo Yang has finally figured out Lao Xiang’s habits. As long as he is given enough money, he can persevere no matter how hard or tiring he is.
Therefore, Guo Yang made a promise: "Lao Xiang, I have worked hard for you during this period. When you are done with this period of time, I will give you a big red envelope."
The next day, in Xinjiang Province With the help of the agricultural reclamation team, the temporary project department of the Alfalfa Company was established in Shuangqiao Village.
At the same time, teams from various construction units also arrived at their respective construction sites.
Suddenly, there were many camps outside the two villages, and fleets of motorcades roared into the project camp. All kinds of construction machinery were lined up in rows. The scene was very spectacular.
Seeing this scene, Lao Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. ……
In the survey report given by the Planning and Design Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, the project area belongs to a long-term unused desert land type, with typical halophytes such as sparse camel thorns and tamarisk growing on the surface.
It indicates that the groundwater level in the area is shallow and rises and falls actively; but the upper layer of soil in the area is relatively dry.
At the same time, the spatial distribution of soil salt content in the project area has great variability. On the vertical spatial scale of the soil profile, not only the salt content is high, but also the heavy salt soil layer is deep.
Not only does the 0-30cm surface soil have a high salt content, but the degree of soil salinization in the 30-100cm range has also reached the level of heavy saline soil.
This is completely different from the saline soil in other areas where the salt is only concentrated on the surface of the soil and the lower salt content is lighter.
According to the sample data, the average content of soluble salts in the 0-60cm soil layer is 107.1g·kg-1. The soil in the project area belongs to heavy saline soil, which is equivalent to 10 to 20 times the threshold of heavy saline soil.
Severe saline soil makes it extremely difficult to improve and utilize the project area.
This also made Dr. Zhou and others extremely unfavorable about this project, and the report even reached the ministry.
The leaders of the ministry also hesitated, but the project is led by the company itself, and they can only postpone the project support fund plan for Alghe next year...
In addition, because of its large scale and the fact that it is led by private enterprises, Alfalfa's saline-alkali land improvement project has attracted great attention nationwide.
You must know that the total investment in the country's Huanghuaihai saline-alkali land treatment project over the past thirty years is only about 500 million.
Alfalfa, a private enterprise, actually spent 500 million in one go this time.
How can this not attract attention.
Xinjiang Province, in a certain office.
"Leader, the farm reclamation team has arrived at Jiuquan, and the advance payment for Alfalfa has also been received."
The leader nodded slightly, and then said: "As for the saline-alkali land, our Xinjiang Province's The area is the largest. How could alfalfa go to Long Province? "
"Leader, if you really want to say this, what are the salty soils, sandy and dry soils, eroded soils, acidification barrier soils, etc.? Our Xinjiang Province is not at the forefront.”
“And there is news that the salinity level in that area is very serious. The project treatment may be effective in the short term, but it can easily continue to deteriorate and the project will be unfinished. The probability is very high. "
The leader also understood, "Yes, it is not that easy to control saline-alkali land. Let's see."
Beijing, Grassland Research Institute, Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
The bell in Su Guozhou's office rang for an unknown number of times.
"Director Su, I heard that alfalfa agriculture has cultivated alfalfa that can grow normally on moderately or above saline-alkali soil. You were the one who participated in the review at the beginning?"
"How could that be true? , We have worked hard for decades, but we have only come up with the 'Chinese Alfalfa No. 1'. The variety of alfalfa is a bit exaggerated."
"The 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land of alfalfa. Renovation project? ”
"I see hanging."
Shandong Province, Department of Agriculture.
Yu Honghai walked out with lingering fear and murmured: "Brother Guo Yang, I blew it in front of my father-in-law, so you must give me some strength."
Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Heilongjiang Province, Jilin Province...
In just half a month, all provinces across the country that have suffered from saline-alkali land have focused their attention on Long Province, whose terrain is shaped like a dog bone.
