New Potato Variety in Longshan Can Boost Farmers' Income
Longshan County in Hunan Province, based on geographical conditions and market development prospects, has actively guided its county agricultural development company to introduce the "Atlantic" potato from Gansu. Trial planting has shown that this potato variety is of superior quality, low in sugar content, and high in starch, and is well favored by the market. To promote it on a large scale, the county has actively implemented the "company + base + farmers + market" model to develop the industry, and carried out the "three supplies and two guarantees" support measures, namely supplying seed, fertilizer, and pesticides, and guaranteeing technology and market. This year, a potato base of 1,000 mu was developed, producing 1,800 tons

Rice direct seeding machine successfully developed, efficient and versatile, boosting rice sowing
Recently, a "Multifunctional Soil-Covering Direct Seeding Machine Rice Mechanical Direct Seeding Field Demonstration" organized by the China National Rice Research Institute was held in Buqiao Village, Fuyang City, Zhejiang Province, with more than 40 experts from home and abroad attending the field observation event. In recent years, China's rice mechanical transplanting technology has developed rapidly, and a number of different types of transplanters suited to China's rice production have been developed and produced. However, the development and research of rice direct seeding machines and mechanical direct seeding technology have lagged relatively behind, and no mainstream rice mechanical direct seeding technology has yet taken shape. To overcome the problems of poor seedling establishment, easy lodging, premature aging, and difficult and costly weed control

Cotton drip irrigation automation project boosts yields
The Shihezi "Cotton Drip Irrigation Automatic Control Science and Technology Demonstration Project", which has been included in the national plan, will add another 15,000 mu to its experimental demonstration area this year on top of last year's. In recent years, after the Shihezi reclamation area vigorously promoted and applied cotton under-mulch drip irrigation technology, total cotton output and per-unit yield have increased substantially. **Tianye Group Corporation, as the largest domestic producer of agricultural water-saving drip irrigation equipment, has promoted water-saving drip irrigation over more than ten million mu. In order to seize the scientific and technological high ground, the company independently innovated and developed the "Cotton Drip Irrigation Automation

Spraying cotton with fertilizer boosts yield and reduces pests and diseases
Spraying nitrogen fertilizer: Urea has the effect of destroying insect chitin. When cotton aphids (especially summer aphids) occur, mix urea, laundry detergent and water in a ratio of 4:1:400 to prepare a "wash-urea mixture" and spray it, which has a clear killing effect. Spraying phosphorus fertilizer: During the adult occurrence period of cotton bollworm, using 1%-2% superphosphate leachate as a foliar spray fertilizer can convert oxalic acid into calcium oxalate and cause it to lose its attraction to cotton bollworm. The residual effect of each phosphorus spray is generally 2-3 days. Spraying potassium fertilizer: Use 10 kg of plant ash, add 50 kg of water, soak

New electromagnetic growth-promotion technology for Gastrodia elata boosts high-yield cultivation
Gastrodia elata grown in lightning-strike areas has high yields, with large tubers of good quality. Based on this pattern, by adopting new technology that improves the geomagnetic field, each square meter can produce 25 kg of Gastrodia elata, and the harvest can be brought forward by 80 days. The specific operational techniques are described below: 1. Planting time and variety selection. The best seasons for planting Gastrodia elata are spring, autumn and winter. The seed stock should be first-generation pollinated seed free of pests and diseases; degraded second-generation inferior seed must not be used. 2. Site selection. With the new geomagnetic-improvement technology, as long as the magnetic field is suitable and the temperature and humidity are appropriate, idle land in mountainous areas

Edible fungus cultivation boosts forest land economy
To further boost agricultural efficiency and increase farmers' incomes, Jinghai County has vigorously developed a ten-thousand-mu forest land economy, actively promoting and implementing forest land breeding and forest land edible fungus cultivation projects, and effectively raising the level of agricultural development. Since the end of 2007, Nanzhuotou Village in Wangkou Town of the county has raised more than 500,000 yuan to plan and build a fungus stick factory. At present, the factory produces more than 10,000 fungus sticks per day, and 70,000 fungus sticks have completed steam high-temperature sterilization, inoculation and other work. More than 50 farming households in the village are already engaged in forest land edible fungus production, with an area of 200 mu. This single item alone

Grain-mushroom intercropping planting model boosts yield and income
Corn-oyster mushroom intercropping uses a 2:1 intercropping cultivation form, improving field ventilation and light penetration; the oyster mushroom production requires more watering, which is very beneficial to corn growth. The spent mushroom substrate still contains relatively rich organic nutrients and can be turned into the soil as high-quality farmyard manure to build soil fertility. Intercropped corn can be sown in late April; on the basis of early-spring plowing and harrowing, spread farmyard manure, form ridges 60 cm wide, with plant spacing smaller than that of pure corn stands, and add the corn plants from the mushroom rows to the rows on both sides respectively, ensuring

Pig-and-chicken circular farming model boosts feeding efficiency
The new technology of efficient circular pig-and-chicken farming is a practical technique particularly suited to rural farmers. The method is as follows: ferment chicken manure by the lactic acid method to feed pigs. There are many ways to feed pigs with chicken manure, such as drying it, feeding it fresh, and conventional fermentation, but the lactic acid fermentation of chicken manure is best. This is because this method can turn chicken manure into a high-quality pig feed with good palatability. The fermentation method is: first dry the chicken manure to 70% dryness, then mix an appropriate amount of lactic acid bacteria and 10 kg of wheat bran or rice bran into every 100 kg of chicken manure, put it into non-toxic plastic bags or other containers

Six practical methods for cost-saving and efficiency-boosting in edible mushroom cultivation
1. Temperature difference stimulation method: Cover the mushroom bed with film during the day to raise the temperature, and uncover the film in the evening or morning to cool it down. During the early stage of mycelial growth, the relative air humidity should be kept below 70%, and in the later stage at 85%-90%. These measures are conducive to the formation of mushroom buds. 2. Chemical stimulation method: When preparing the substrate, appropriately add phosphates (monopotassium phosphate, superphosphate), sulfates (magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate) and vitamin B1, etc., which have an obvious yield-increasing effect. In the late stage of mycelial growth, spray 0.1 mg/L

Processing method for health-boosting flavored oil from edible fungi
Health-boosting flavored oil from edible fungi retains the unique flavor and aroma of edible fungi. It can be used not only for stir-frying but also for cold dishes, and it stores well and is easy to carry. Processing edible fungus oil requires simple equipment and a simple method, making it a very good way to make money. Raw material selection. For the base oil used in processing, oils with a relatively high content of unsaturated fatty acids, such as rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, and soybean oil, are better; they can be used alone or processed as a blend. For the oyster mushrooms used in processing, gray varieties are better; for shiitake mushrooms, those cultivated on linden wood or mixed hardwood sawdust are best. The oyster mushrooms should be
