Introduction: Chinese agriculture is booming, and more and more new farmers are getting involved. The corresponding planting techniques are constantly being improved. The editor has collected 3 new techniques and marketing methods.

New method for increasing water spinach production

Villagers of Dahe Village, Xinle Town, Naxi District, Luzhou City, Sichuan, are major water spinach growers. Three years ago, they began exploring ways to grow water spinach in summer. Taking into account the growth pattern that water spinach can generally be harvested once every 10 days, and the fact that water spinach stems and leaves become "decrepit" mainly due to sun exposure, they took a different approach. After entering May, when temperatures rose and others removed their plastic film one after another, they tried not removing the film, but only lifting the film at both ends of the greenhouse for ventilation, letting the water spinach grow wildly inside the greenhouse. On the 7th day of growth, in order to avoid continuous exposure to the scorching sun, Tang Wei tried covering the greenhouse film with a thick shade net to lower the greenhouse temperature, letting the fast-growing water spinach slow down in the cool, shady, and humid conditions. A few days later, a miracle appeared: the once "decrepit" water spinach stems and leaves became tender and green, and especially the stems became sturdier. During the 4 months from May to August, when temperatures remained high, the harvested water spinach yield per mu could reach 3000 kg, accounting for three-quarters of the total water spinach yield per mu. In the past three years, with this trick, he earned at least 3000 yuan more per mu of water spinach than others.

Deep-processed pork is selling well in the market

In southern Shaanxi customs, cured meat is a delicacy that almost every household must make, by cutting pork into small pieces and hanging them over a "fire cage" to smoke slowly. However, due to crude conditions, tragedies such as fires and gas poisoning caused by home smoking of cured meat often occur. For this reason, local villagers rebuilt a factory for smoking cured meat, and uniformly slaughtered, stored, and smoked the New Year pigs of some poor households. For poor households that are major pig farmers, the cooperative, through deep processing, packages and sells the surplus cured meat of poor households to increase their income, ensuring they have meat to eat and money to spend.

New technology brings strawberries to market 1 month early

To bring strawberries to market early and seize business opportunities, innovation in production technology is essential. Longwangmiao Town built a controlled-atmosphere storage of 240 sq m, and town technicians successfully conducted a cold dormancy experiment on strawberry seedlings using the controlled-atmosphere storage. Strawberries treated at low temperature in the controlled-atmosphere room can be brought to market nearly 1 month earlier. Gu Yuanshun of Gaojiabu Village used this technology, allowing his family's strawberries to be marketed early. The application of the new technology increased Gu Yuanshun's income, making him a "star" in the eyes of his neighbors.

In addition to the use of the controlled-atmosphere storage, Longwangmiao Town also frequently invites experts to carry out special training on strawberry cultivation and seedling techniques, soil disinfection techniques, strawberry pest and disease control techniques, and strawberry intercropping techniques. The number of farmers participating in training reached 300, greatly improving the technical level of growers and enhancing strawberry yield and quality.

Summary: "Water spinach" was independently developed by growers, "cured meat" is how the cooperative increases breeders' income through the "branch + company + base + cooperative + farmer" model, and "strawberries" are where the town provides technology to help growers increase production and income. These are 3 different forms, but with only one goal: to help farmers get rich.
