Aiming at agriculture, adding new "firewood" for rural revitalization
"New problems have arisen in the intercropping of rosemary in Shuangtian Village, Mengyang Street, Mingshan District, Ya'an City. I hope that several experts can give us a pulse on the development of our local characteristic agricultural industry." At the beginning of August, Xiang Chuan, head of relevant agricultural departments in Ya'an City, Sichuan Province Three agricultural science and technology commissioners, Lv Xiulan, Zhang Li, and Wang Yan from the Agricultural University sent out invitations.
After receiving the invitation, the expert group first went deep into Shuangtian Village, visited the rosemary farmers in the village, and provided scientific guidance for the new problems reported by the farmers.
Afterwards, the expert group went to Qingxi Town, Hanyuan County, and through the method of "seeing, smelling, asking, and cutting", they provided a good remedy for the problems existing in the cultivation of local fritillary and large cherries.
Since 2017, Sichuan Agricultural University has trained 50,000 technical backbones, covering 183 counties and districts in the province, and has jointly built 11 national agricultural science and technology parks, more than 60 provincial-level parks with local governments, 8 branches of the Agricultural Development Institute, There are 3 new production and research institutes, 48 expert courtyards, and 12 small science and technology institutes, guaranteeing and supporting the work of the science and technology mission and the science and technology to the countryside team.
"We also rely on the Sichuan Agricultural University New Rural Development Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as the Agricultural Development Institute), the Southwest Poverty Alleviation Center and other platforms to formulate poverty alleviation plans for 88 original poverty-stricken counties (districts)." The relevant person in charge of Sichuan Agricultural University said that the project The school has also constructed a one-to-one assistance model for each county with one plan, one expert team, and one characteristic industry, and has compiled more than 170 poverty alleviation and industrial plans.
Wang Xiyao, the science and technology commissioner of Sichuan Agricultural University, has been rooted in Butuo County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture for several years. In order to allow Yi compatriots to eat healthy potatoes that have not sprouted, she overcame many difficulties and brought advanced scientific research and technological achievements to Butuo County; China Agricultural Technology Association Butuo Potato Science and Technology Academy”, guiding the team to transform farmers’ traditional production, storage and eating concepts through popular science publicity and training.
"We have moved the laboratory to small scientific and technological courtyards, fields and designated farmers' homes to discover and solve production problems in a timely manner, and effectively open up the 'last mile' for targeted poverty alleviation through technology," said Wang Xiyao.
In recent years, Sichuan Agricultural University has strengthened its research on key areas such as animal and plant breeding and modern breeding technology, and promoted the development of Sichuan grain, Sichuan pig, Sichuan tea, Sichuan fish, Sichuan fruit and other industries.
More than 300 demonstration bases have been established, more than 230 new technology achievements have been promoted, and more than 10 excellent industries such as Butuo potato, Leibo navel orange, Pingshan Yinhong plum, and Nanjiang yellow sheep have been cultivated and expanded.
Fixed-point assistance, using technology to pave the way to help farmers increase income
Leibo County is located on the southwestern edge of Sichuan Province and in the eastern part of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. It has high mountains, steep valleys, deep valleys, steep cliffs, and dangerous roads. The mountainous area accounts for 84%. It is one of the key counties for national rural revitalization.
And thanks to the cultivation of "Leibo navel oranges", Qinggang Village, Leibo County, an extremely impoverished village that could only survive on government relief food 36 years ago, has become a well-known affluent village.
The local large-scale planting of navel oranges exceeds 10,000 mu, with an annual output value of 220 million yuan and an annual per capita income of more than 75,000 yuan.
In 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China released the "2021 National Rural Characteristic Industry List of 100 Million Villages", and Qinggang Village is on the list, becoming the only 100 million yuan village in the Daliangshan area.
In recent years, Sichuan Agricultural University has explored a new model of precise assistance and formed a counterpart assistance area with Leibo County.
Eight rural revitalization designated scientific and technological service groups, including ecological farming, tea, alpine ecological vegetables, high-quality navel orange cultivation and management, and pepper walnut cultivation and management, have been established with Lai Songjia, Tang Qian, Zheng Yangxia, and Wang Zhihui as chief experts.
Recently, Professor Wang Zhihui, the science and technology commissioner of the high-quality navel orange cultivation management technology service group, led the team members Associate Professor Wang Xun and Dr. Xiong Bo to Leibo County to carry out scientific and technological assistance work.
In Qinggang Village, Professor Wang Zhihui and his party checked the production situation of navel orange orchards, and gave on-site guidance on the summer management of the orchards and fruit drop.
In Shibantan Village, where the cadres of Sichuan Agricultural University are located, the scientific and technological service team carried out special technical trainings on fertilizer and water management and pest and disease control, asking everyone to change the misconception of "fertilizing once a year" in fertilizer and water management, and reminding fruit growers to "spray once a year". "Before flowering, before and after shoots, before and after fruiting" is the key period for pest control.
During the period, the scientific and technological service team also went to the "Leizao No. 1" new variety demonstration base of navel oranges, and asked the base managers to strengthen the nutrition of the tree body, promote the rapid expansion of the canopy of saplings through the combination of soil application and foliar spraying, and appropriately supplement the medium. The trace element fertilizer is used to correct the deficiency of Leibo navel orange.
"Our school has established postgraduate workstations with postgraduates brought by members of the service groups and postgraduate teaching groups stationed in Leibo as the core all the year round, and dispatched postgraduates from related disciplines to stay in the station all year round to carry out scientific experiments and technical services under the guidance of supervisors." Sichuan Agricultural University The relevant person in charge said that the school also organized Leibo students from Sichuan Agricultural University to form a college student rural revitalization hometown service group, and used holidays and vacations to carry out volunteer services to support education, agriculture, and townships.
Explore new models and develop technical services for the entire industry chain
At the end of July, it was the harvest season of "Portuguese Spring" grapes in Camellia Village, Qianfeng District, Guang'an City, Sichuan Province. This year, the output is expected to be 300,000 kilograms, and the collective economic income will reach more than 30,000 yuan.
Just a few years ago, the poor households involved in grape planting in Camellia Village were once faced with the situation of no harvest.
Professor Lu Xiulan, the science and technology commissioner of Sichuan Agricultural University, went to the field to check and found that the main reason for the failure of the harvest was that the villagers did not know much about the planting techniques such as the habits and maintenance methods of the new grape variety "Xiahei".
In order to prevent the villagers from causing economic losses due to wrong operations, Lv Xiulan led the team to guide the fruit farmers at key time points such as protecting flowers and fruits, topping and wiping buds, and pruning in winter.
"Since I'm doing research on fruit trees, I must produce some results. If farmers are rich, the research can be considered valuable." Lu Xiulan said.
As a science and technology commissioner for more than ten years, Lv Xiulan has created geographical indication products and regional brands such as "Maoxian Li" based on the investigation of Sichuan's diverse ecological three-dimensional conditions, and has promoted new varieties and new models. More than 6 million mu, driving 4,000-5,000 people out of poverty and increasing their incomes to become rich.
This year, based on the strategic needs of rural revitalization, Sichuan Agricultural University has explored and constructed a new model of deep integration of production, education and research, and promoted the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements in multiple directions.
We will make every effort to build socialized service platforms such as the Agricultural Development Institute and its branches, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Rural Revitalization Institute, and promote a high degree of coordination and win-win cooperation among schools, schools, enterprises, and schools.
Sichuan Agricultural University and local governments have successively built 11 national agricultural science and technology parks, more than 60 provincial-level agricultural science and technology parks, 7 newly-built and renewed branches of agricultural development institutes, 48 expert courtyards, and 11 small science and technology courtyards.
Since the implementation of the science and technology commissioner system for more than 20 years, Sichuan Province has insisted that talents should be placed in the countryside and technology should be sent to the countryside, so that the majority of farmers have a greater sense of gain and happiness, but rural revitalization is still on the journey.
Facing the future, Sichuan Agricultural University will focus on industrial technical guidance, introduction and promotion of varieties and technologies, research and formulate work plans, and carry out technical services for the entire industry chain of science and technology commissioners.
At the same time, it will increase policy and financial support, support scientific and technological missions in all aspects from platform, performance, rewards, etc., strengthen the linkage of functional departments, and cooperate to ensure the implementation of the results of the dispatched team.
In addition, based on the local resource endowment, Sichuan Agricultural University will scientifically analyze the industrial situation, organize a multidisciplinary team of experts, carry out precise and comprehensive assistance, and strive to achieve a win-win situation of "industry prosperity" and "people's prosperity".
