Chinanews.com, Yiyang, December 9th (Song Meitong Zhongquan) "In the past two years, the rape varieties that have been planted in the village are basically this kind of rape that can be used for both stalks and oil. After 4 months of continuous harvesting of the stalks, they continued to bloom and bear fruit. Seeds produce oil, and the yield of rapeseed is no different from that of ordinary rapeseed, but it can increase the output value of farmers by more than 5,000 yuan per mu." On December 9, a demonstration of a thousand mu of rapeseed in Yanhedi Village, Wushenggong Town, Nanxian County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province In the base, the grower Deng Guixiang and other farmers stepped up picking in the rapeseed field.
After entering winter, rapeseed sprouts have become a hot-selling dish in major markets. The base sends more than 3 tons of rapeseed sprouts to Hunan Province and outside of Hunan Province every day, and the daily sales exceed 20,000 yuan.
Nan County, located in the hinterland of Dongting Lake, has always been a high-quality grain and oil production area in the Yangtze River Basin. It has successively created many best-selling brands such as Chen Keming, Jinzhixiang, and Yixiangyuan.

In order to better polish the brand background of high-quality grains and oils, Nanxian has gathered strength from the source of production and sales of oil crops, with improved varieties as the core, market-oriented, and multi-yield integration as the goal. Varieties, development of contract agriculture, creation of 10,000 mu of colorful rapeseed flower fields, and construction of 100,000 mu of rapeseed flower corridors, etc., will continue to make the "rape economy" bigger and stronger, and paint a "colorful" rural revitalization.
"Now is the critical period for the management and protection of the colorful rapeseed flower fields. We must always pay attention to the growth of rapeseed seedlings in the flower fields, and implement management and protection such as intertillage, weeding, and fertilization in a timely manner to ensure that the colorful rapeseed flowers bloom on time in March next year." Rapeseed production in Nanxian County In the 10,000-mu demonstration film of colorful flower fields, Tong Zhongquanzheng, an agricultural technology expert from Nanxian County, and an agricultural technology expert from the Hunan Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences accurately guided farmers to manage and protect a new rapeseed product that is "appreciated" and "fooded" - "colorful" rapeseed.
In order to fully empower rural revitalization and fully tap the multi-purpose value of "appreciation" and "food" of rapeseed, starting from 2019, Nan County has successively signed long-term cooperation agreements with Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Changde Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences and other agricultural research institutions. The cooperation agreement, combined with the realities of the 10,000-mu rapeseed field centered on the Luowen International Graffiti Village and the fragmented land of the towns and villages along the line, has successively introduced a number of new rapeseed products that integrate multiple functions such as vegetable, oil, and ornamental.
After the demonstration planting of these new products in recent years, a relatively mature management and protection system has been formed.

In September 2022, these new rapeseed products have been arranged to produce 10,000-mu demonstration plots in 5 rapeseed plants in Nanxian County. The rapeseed expert service team composed of 10 people is divided into 5 groups and 5 areas, responsible for providing management and protection for farmers throughout the process Technical guidance to ensure that the management and protection of new rapeseed products are not out of shape, and the efficiency is maximized, so that small rapeseeds can truly become the "ignition point" for the integration and development of the three industries in the region.
At present, the planting area of rapeseed in Nanxian County is 580,000 mu, an expansion of more than 30,000 mu compared with last year, including 12,000 mu of new "multi-purpose" rapeseed, which has increased by more than 400% compared with the output value of traditional rapeseed varieties.
"When the rape blossoms bloom next year, the colorful flower fields and the 100,000-acre rape flower sea corridor will be the most brilliant colors in the Dongting Lake area, and the lives of our villagers will also be more colorful." Director of Nanxian Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau You Tao is full of expectations for the village "flower" color picture that the new rapeseed product is about to roll out.
