"Qiuping, come here and measure the basic parameters of the rice in this paddy field." Mr. Yuan waved to a young and beautiful student behind him. This is an intern at the Rice Research Institute. The girl's name is Kang Can, and her parents are with Yuan.
We have been dating for a long time. So this time when I came out, I brought her out.
"Hey." Kang Can responded and came over to measure it.
The parameters to be measured are nothing more than the number of ears per plant, the number of kernels per ear, thousand-grain weight, as well as plant height, ear length, and seed setting rate. However, it will take a certain amount of time to measure all these items.
Mr. Yuan arranged the task and left it alone because he saw something that was more interesting to him.
"Mr. Yuan, what novelty did you see?" Mr. Luo asked.
"Hey, that's interesting. In this entire field, not a single disease spot can be seen on any of the leaves. And there are very few insects in this field. There are a lot of frogs. How did he do it?" Mr. Yuan was very surprised.
Surprised. This was definitely the first time he had seen such a situation.
Under normal circumstances, when the seedlings fall over during harvesting, countless moths will fly out from the seedlings. The number is alarming. Especially in such a large area of farmland, all pests will be driven away from the field during harvesting.
At this time, experienced farmers will prepare pesticides to directly kill the moths driven out of the rice fields. Otherwise, when the late rice is transplanted, these moths will fly back to the farmland and hang on the tender green seedlings.
spawning.
But after the rice fields in Laiwang were harvested, there were very few insects because there were many frogs in the rice fields. This kept the number of moths in the rice fields at a very low range. Now that the seedlings have been harvested, the pests have lost their protection from frogs.
.The frogs in the rice fields are busy.
This situation is very difficult to see in modern farmland. Due to the extensive use of pesticides and fertilizers, the number of frogs has become less and less. Many people attribute the decrease in the number of frogs to farmers' trapping of frogs. In fact, it is
Incorrect. Frogs lay a huge number of eggs each time. The reproduction speed of frogs is also very alarming. Therefore, the real cause of the massive reduction of frogs is pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Human capture only aggravates this problem.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Luo asked. Mr. Luo was a layman. Naturally, he couldn't see what Mr. Yuan could see.
"Have you noticed that there are very few bugs in the rice fields, but there are many frogs? This is truly ecological farmland! With such an ecology formed, there is almost no need for pesticides. Without the use of pesticides, the number of frogs
More. The number of frogs and the number of insects will form a balance. As the number of insects increases, the food for frogs will be more abundant, and their reproduction speed will also speed up. When the number of frogs is more, the number of insects will decrease. Finally, due to lack of frogs,
Food and reproduction speed will slow down. This will form a balance. This is not the most powerful thing." said Mr. Yuan.
"The most amazing thing is that the rice seedlings in this rice field seem to have never been sick." Mr. Yuan pointed to some of the green rice seedlings and said, "Look, there are no disease spots on all the leaves. This means that either these rice plants are very
Disease resistance, or the rice has never been diseased at all.”
Not far away, Jin Gui was walking around in the field with his bare feet and a small fish basket. When he saw a small round hole in the paddy field, he immediately dug out the whole ball of mud. Then he put the mud into the fish basket.
When you break it open, you can pull out a loach from the mud ball every time.
"Loach!" Mr. Luo was very excited. When he was sent to the countryside, his favorite food was loach. At that time, living conditions were very difficult, but there was a time when life in the countryside could be improved. Digging for loach was one of them.
item.
There were a lot of loaches in the fields at that time. When threshing rice, the vibration of the threshing machine would sometimes shake out some loaches.
There was a shortage of cooking oil at that time. When cooking loaches, just throw the live loaches into the pot. Cover the pot and start the fire. After a while, you can hear the loaches jumping around in the pot.
There was no movement after the meeting.
At this time, open the lid of the pot. The loaches in the pot have turned white. If you can get a little sesame oil, that would be the best result. It is too extravagant to fry with a pot of oil. Generally, you use sesame oil.
Drop it into the spatula and turn it around along the edge of the pot, allowing the sesame oil to slowly flow to the bottom of the pot, so that the loach is slightly covered with oil. Add the chili pepper and some salt. The delicious loach feast is completed.
Mr. Luo and Mr. Yuan both spent a long time in the countryside, so they were very familiar with loaches. They also learned from Jin Gui to dig up loaches in the fields.
"Jin Gui, come here and let me borrow your fish basket." Mr. Luo's sword was still young. It didn't take long to dig out a plump loach.
Mr. Luo caught a handful of sugar particles for Jin Gui today, and the effect was very good. As soon as Jin Gui heard Mr. Luo's call, he immediately ran over carrying the fish basket.
The little feet kept shuttling in the mud, like an elf.
"Grandpa Luo, I caught a lot of loaches today." Jin Gui said.
"How about we go to the breeding farm to have a teething ceremony at night? I seem to have a bag of sugar particles somewhere!" At this moment, Mr. Luo turned into a cunning old version of Big Big Wolf.
"If you want it, you must get it." Jin Gui obviously turned into the lazy sheep who was deceived every time.
"Hey, I also caught a loach, Jin Gui, come here!" Mr. Yuan smiled happily. However, the loach in the mud in his hand seemed to feel the danger, and it tried to dig out desperately.
Jin Gui ran very fast and quickly put the fish basket under Mr. Yuan's hand, just in time to catch the falling loach.
"Hehe, you are so clever!" Mr. Yuan praised.
People in the village have long been accustomed to seeing Mr. Luo rolling up his trousers and walking barefoot in the fields. People in the city have had enough to eat and have nothing to do, so they came to the countryside to live the life of a farmer. Is there anything strange about catching loaches like a child?
What about?
There are quite a lot of loaches in this rice field. Once pesticides and fertilizers were stopped, the number of loaches slowly accumulated.
"Oh, it seems that there is no reason for the high yield of this rice field. Without insect pests and diseases, the yield can be increased by at least 10%. There are loach activities in the soil, which can not only improve the soil structure of the rice field, but also improve the soil structure of the rice field.
It can also provide nutrients for rice. It really serves multiple purposes. Only when rural rice fields develop in this way can there be hope," Mr. Yuan said.
"That's true. No matter how high-yield the rice you researched is applied to the fields, it still needs to be maintained by pesticides and fertilizers. How can the quality be improved?" Mr. Luo said.
"Even if biotechnology is used to develop insect-resistant and disease-resistant genes, the risks alone will not fundamentally solve the problem. Improved seed strategies are only part of farmland management. Cultivation systems and management levels are equally important," said Mr. Yuan.
"Let's take a walk, it's almost done. Let's go over and see what the data measured by Xiaokang are like!" Mr. Yuan went up to the field, washed his feet in the ditch, still rolled up his trouser legs, went barefoot, and lifted his leather shoes with his hands.
stand up.
"Xiaokang, how are you? Have all the conventional parameters been measured?" Yuan Laoyuan asked.
"Teacher Yuan, the data is amazing! It surpasses ordinary rice in all aspects." Kang Can said.
"Quickly, let me take a look at the data." Mr. Yuan said.
"Each ear of rice is nearly 700, and the weight of one thousand grains reaches 50 grams. These parameters are nearly 50% higher than ordinary rice. It is really amazing." Kang Can said.
"Actually, this astonishing result has some inevitability. Girl Kang, you have to summarize the characteristics of this farmland and find out the reasons for its high yield. This is the homework I assigned you. It is not an internship.
Travel and sightseeing, you have to learn some real things." Mr. Yuan said.
"Hey. I will sum it up properly." Kang Can said with a smile.
It was almost dark before Laiwang finished harvesting this piece of rice field. At this rate, three days should be enough to finish harvesting this piece of rice field. However, the weather is unpredictable. The earlier the harvesting is completed, the better the harvest will be.
Don't worry early.
"Xiao Zhao, we meet again." Mr. Yuan took the lead in greeting Lai Wang.
"Hello, Mr. Yuan. Welcome to our Zhaojiatun." Lai Wang said with a smile.
"I'm here to learn from you. The level of rice cultivation in your field is not very high. So far, this is the real organic rice production I have seen, and it is also the planting base with the highest level of management. The farmland ecosystem is the most complete. I
I really don’t know how you did this. It’s really not easy.” Mr. Yuan said.
"Actually, I was just messing around. I just didn't want to use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, so I used local methods. I didn't expect the results to be really good," Lai Wang said with a smile.
"Your local method is not simple. If the whole country uses your local method, there will be no food security problem. In recent years, there have been many problems with rice. As a food worker, I feel that on my shoulders
The pressure is great. But from your farmland, I seem to see a new direction for China's rice development. If all farmland could be like your farmland, our life would be much easier!" Mr. Yuan said with a smile.
.
"I really don't dare to say that. I was lucky this time. Everything went smoothly. I really don't have any experience worth promoting," Lai Wang said.
Kang Can said, "You are wrong. If everyone is conservative and does not promote cultivation techniques that are beneficial to agriculture, then how can our agriculture develop? I think this kind of thinking of yours is unacceptable."
"Girl Kang, don't talk nonsense. Cultivation technology is also a kind of knowledge. He has the right to make choices. Your attitude is extremely dangerous and extremely incorrect." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and more updated novels.
