[Explanation] Puland County, Ali District, Tibet is located at the junction of China, India and Nepal, and southwest of the Tibet Autonomous Region. Recently, relevant technicians from Puland County led local vegetable farmers to grow vegetables in greenhouses. Although the local area is high in altitude and the climate is cold, but with the help of modern technology, the county's 44 vegetable greenhouses are full of spring and lush.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, science and technology personnel and vegetable farmers in Puland County have entered the greenhouses and started the "quick" mode of planting vegetables. The scientific and technical personnel tirelessly guide vegetable farmers in watering, fertilizing, and removing pests and diseases, and encourage people to prevent and control the epidemic. During the period, self-sufficiency in vegetables was realized, and the supply pressure on the vegetable market in the county seat was reduced.

After the (new crown pneumonia) epidemic, the staff of the Puland Township Farming and Animal Husbandry Service Center and the Puland County Agriculture and Rural Bureau Agricultural Technology Extension Station went down to plant vegetables. The main vegetable we planted this time was Xiliang vegetables, and then we took the next step. (Mainly) the main types of vegetables are hi-wen vegetables. Those vegetables that are relatively high-grade will ensure that in the future, people in this vegetable market in Puland will eat (buy) a fresh vegetable.

The ground needs to master this vegetable technology, so at this time, our scientific and technological personnel are the ones who go ahead, go down to the grassroots, and then help them solve some more practical problems.
[Explanation] It is reported that since the beginning of April, technical staff of the Tibet Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Sciences will also be dispatched to Shannan, Qamdo, Nagqu, Ali and other cities in Tibet to send practical technologies and scientific and technological achievements in agriculture and animal husbandry to the fields and ranches to open up agriculture Animal husbandry science and technology serves the "last mile" and provides technical support for increasing the production and efficiency of agriculture and animal husbandry and increasing the income of the people.
