Chinanews.com Xinjiang Tumushuke, July 2 (Shi Yujiang) Can vegetables be grown in yellow sand?

Is the output high or low?

What's the difference in taste?

I believe this is a concern of many growers and consumers.

  At present, in the demonstration greenhouse for fruit and vegetable cultivation technology in the 44th Regiment of Tumushuke City, the 3rd Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, rows of cultivation pots with a diameter of about 30 cm are neatly arranged in a demonstration greenhouse. Full of yellow sand, the branches of peppers growing in the yellow sand are strong and leafy, and huge green peppers hang on the branches, creating a vibrant scene.

  "Vegetables grown with yellow sand can be managed with ease and effort. There is no need for manual watering, fertilization, or weeding, and it can also reduce pests and diseases. We have imported the integrated management program from planting to harvesting into the computer." A few days ago, I was viewing in the greenhouse. Mi Huilong, a staff member of the Teaching and Research Office of Shihezi University, told reporters about the growth of vegetables.

  A reporter from Chinanews.com noticed that there are water tanks, fertilizer boxes and other facilities at the entrance of the greenhouse. One end is connected to the computer, and the other end is spread across the one-acre greenhouse through pipes. Sensors are placed in the basin in the middle of the greenhouse.

  "This is used to perceive the amount of water and nutrients required by the roots of peppers, and then transmit the data to the central computer controller in the greenhouse." Mi Huilong told reporters that the vegetables grown with this technology taste a little bit No worse than traditional growth.

  He said that there are no residues of heavy metals and toxic substances in the yellow sand, and professionally proportioned organic fertilizers are used. The cultivated vegetables are not easy to be infected with pests and are of high quality.

"Not only can you grow peppers, but also tomatoes, eggplants and many other vegetables."

The sensor is used to sense the amount of water and nutrients required by the pepper roots.

  According to reports, in May of this year, when three science and technology commissioners Wang Dengwei, Cui Huimei, Huang Chunyan, and a graduate student from Shihezi University went to the 44th Regiment of the Third Division to carry out scientific and technological services, they established the company for the company based on local development needs. The two demonstration greenhouses allow growers to experience the advantages of growing vegetables on the yellow sand that can be seen everywhere in the local area.

  After demonstration, peppers grown on yellow sand substrates have the advantages of shorter production period, higher yield and cost saving compared with those grown in the field, and have won the praise of more and more growers.

  "I plan to invest in a few greenhouses next year to grow vegetables in this way, hoping to increase income." The company's grower Tuxun Maurak told reporters.

  According to Jin Yike, secretary of the Party branch of the company and legal person of the Tumshuk Ecological Homeland Breeding Farmers Professional Cooperative, the growth period of peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables grown in the yellow sand substrate only takes more than three months and two seasons a year. , The annual net income of a greenhouse is about 30,000 yuan, which is a significant increase in income compared to traditional planting.

  "The peppers grown are good in quality and easy to harvest." Jin Yike said that after demonstration planting, this kind of cultivation technology can improve the quality and efficiency of vegetables, and play a demonstrative role for local people to become rich.

  Earlier this year, under the advocacy of the "Visit Huiju" task force of the original seed company of the 44th Regiment of Shihezi University, the company carried out agro-technical training activities for its employees during the slack season.

Professor Cui Huimei and Professor Wang Dengwei used the evening time to give lectures on “Key Techniques for Conventional Plug Seedling Raising in Facilities” and “Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Techniques in Yellow Sand Substrate Facilities” for employees. They elaborated on the principles and advantages of fruit and vegetable cultivation in yellow sand substrate, and strengthened the staff Cognition of the technology of integrated water and fertilizer planting of fruits and vegetables on the yellow sand substrate.
