Songyuan, June 6 -- Taiwan compatriots in the northeast: Three years of cultivation in love with the "fragrance of rice flowers" in thousands of miles of wild
Written by Gao Longan
The water-soaked soil looks dark and shiny, and when you look up, the paddy fields are filled with tender green rice seedlings. Zhang Shixuan stood at the edge of the field, picked up a seedling and looked at it carefully, his hands covered with black mud.
This is the cross-strait (Jilin) ecological agriculture cooperation pilot zone located in Qianguo County, Songyuan City, Jilin Province, and it is now the busy agricultural season, the black soil is pregnant with life, and the green seedlings are pinned on the hope of a bumper harvest, these two colors are very cordial to Zhang Shixuan, a Taiwanese compatriot engaged in agricultural work.
Born in Taoyuan, Taiwan, 45-year-old Zhang Shixuan holds a master's degree in microbiology from National Taiwan University, and has worked in Taiwan, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places over the years. Three years ago, he decided to adjust his career plan and came to Jilin, a major agricultural province, as the deputy general manager of Songyuan Heyu Biotechnology Co., Ltd., mainly responsible for the overall operation of the organic biological fertilizer factory and the research and development of agricultural microbial application technology. When he first saw the vast Songnen plain and the abundant local water system, he decided that he had come to the right place.
In Taiwan, Zhang Shixuan's experimental field can achieve more than ten acres, dozens of acres; In Songyuan, Jilin, he can do hundreds or thousands of acres, which is the happiest thing for him.
Zhang Shixuan said that the climate in the northeast of the mainland is different from that in the south, rice is planted once a year, and the rice produced is good tasting and nutritious, with low average temperatures in summers and cold winters, making farmland less pests.
Prepare for spring ploughing in March, raise seedlings in April, and plant seedlings in May... Every once in a while, Zhang Shixuan has to go to the field to observe the soil and water quality, chat with farmers about the cultivation situation, and then take a few soil samples to the laboratory for analysis and research, one is to grasp the soil data in real time to help guide the next agricultural production, and the other is to provide scientific basis for the development of biological fertilizer.
Biological fertilizer is converted from rice stalks, rice husks, animal manure, etc., which is conducive to improving and protecting the soil while realizing waste recycling. To develop biological fertilizer, it is necessary to find some microorganisms that can adapt to the local special environment; In order to sustain production in winter, low-temperature fermentation cultures also need to be developed.
Zhang Shixuan often immerses himself in the laboratory, cultivating strains, detecting the organic matter content of samples, and observing the morphology of microorganisms.
Today, the efficacy of biofertilizers has been proven in agricultural production in Songwon. After professional testing, the organic matter content of this land is increasing year by year, and the rice yield is abundant year by year. High-quality rice is selected locally and sold all over the country into high-end gift boxes.
Zhang Shixuan said that this year, the Black Soil Research Institute of Jilin University participated in the protection of this land. He believes that advanced agricultural technology can bring more hope and possibilities to this land.
Now, as the planting work draws to a close, the boundless fields are covered with green, a few swallows fly around the paddy fields, and sometimes white waterfowl can be seen. Zhang Shixuan walked from the laboratory table to the window and looked at the field, expecting the green in front of him to turn golden when the harvest would be abundant. (End)
