The countries of Iser are arid and water-deficient countries, and the desert area accounts for nearly 70% of their land area.
In such an environment, in order to survive and develop, they have developed a unique agricultural model: increasing income and reducing expenditure, and using water for technology.
The advanced water-saving and water-saving technology is the place where the Northwest with similar environmental conditions can learn from. Therefore, at this exchange meeting, experts from various countries who were invited to Wangxi Province to participate in the meeting were highly valued. They The speech was carried out on the first day and became the highlight of the entire exchange meeting.
The experts speak in English, but you can listen to the live interpretation when you put on headphones.
Chen Mu didn't know much about drip irrigation technology and irrigation control systems in agriculture, but he didn't feel bored at all after listening to the experts' speeches.
And after listening to it, he realized that the drip irrigation technology of Yiserlieren is the world's leading, and it is a symbolic product of their water-saving agriculture.
The most interesting thing is that the cherry tomatoes currently grown in China are all varieties imported from the Iser countries. Not only our Xia Kingdom, but 70% of the tomato varieties in the world also come from them. The Iserians really I love tomatoes.
As Chen Mu listened, he whispered that the impact of Israel's agriculture on Xia and the whole world far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
Although he boasted to the leaders of City X that his forest farm was a high-tech enterprise before, except for the "super power" of the black technology map that he used to raise seedlings, his forest farm has no technological content at all in other aspects.
Take watering and planting trees as an example. Because he has a black-tech map, he can easily find the location of the groundwater, and then directly dig a well to pump water, and sprinkle water with a large pipe.
Such an operation, if placed on the hands of the Israelites, would be nothing short of prodigal.
The Israelis will extend the water flow to the roots of the plants by arranging water pipes, so that the plants in the arid environment can thrive, and there is also a very important concept here: because the water drops directly to the roots, it can save water waste, and second, the water drops will not It will splash the dust on the ground and hit the branches and leaves of the plants, so that the plants can reduce the risk of infection with germs.
Chen Mu felt that his own forest farm should also consider this aspect more, after all groundwater is not inexhaustible.
Even if the black-tech map can help him find groundwater, it's just helping him find it, and it won't create water out of thin air.
If groundwater is wasted recklessly, there will always be a day in the future when it will run out, and it will be too late for regrets.
After thinking about it, he found a free moment and asked the Uighur girl: "Anal, I think this water pipe irrigation seems very good, can we also use this?"
The Uighur girl took notes all the way while listening to the speech. When she heard Chen Mu say it, she almost thought about it and replied: "If you really want to grow jujubes and seabuckthorn with large fruits, you should indeed irrigate with pipes, but if you just plant trees There is no need for afforestation.”
"Why?"
Chen Mu hurriedly asked without shame.
The Uighur girl was very satisfied with someone's attitude, and explained modestly: "Think about it for yourself, jujube and seabuckthorn are both economic crops. If you want them to grow good fruits every year, you have to water them every day. If your If the planting area is large, it would be too troublesome to water manually. At this time, it would be much more convenient to use water pipes for irrigation. As long as someone regularly turns on the switch of the water pipes every day, it will automatically water the trees That's it, save yourself trouble."
"That's right, that's right, it really saves trouble."
Chen Mu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, thinking that his forest farm has now reached more than 6,000 mu, and it would take a lot of time to walk around every day, not to mention watering. If we can lay water pipes for irrigation, it will really save a lot of trouble.
The Uighur girl went on to say: "But now most of our forest farms are non-economic plants, so laying water pipes for irrigation is unnecessary and not worth it."
"Why is it not worth it, I think it's pretty good!"
Chen Mu counted with his fingers: "Our forest farm has contracted 30,000 mu of land, and it must be a big problem to irrigate. In addition to digging wells, it is also very troublesome to pull pipes in places farther away. I am going to buy two The waterwheel will do, and it will be much more convenient if this water pipe can be installed.”
"What are you thinking about? Do you know how much it will cost to lay pipes on all 30,000 mu of land?"
"How much will it cost?"
"Not counting the cost of water pipes and laying water pipes, each dripper alone costs about 50 cents in the market now. If you grow jujubes and seabuckthorn with large fruits, you need to use one for each tree. You can figure it out yourself. How much will it cost?"
fifty cents each...
There are so many trees in the forest farm...
Chen Mu is speechless, if this really happens, just buying drippers will make him bankrupt, and he can't afford it now.
He became wilted all of a sudden, thinking that he should listen carefully, irrigate things like this, and talk about it later when conditions permit.
The Uighur girl glanced at him and said, "Actually, Haloxylon and seabuckthorn are the most planted things you plant now. For those jujubes and big-fruited seabuckthorn, based on the scale and area of your current planting, one hundred thousand yuan is enough, and it doesn’t cost much.”
"Yes, there are small ones, big ones, big ones, just keep investing when you have money in the future."
Chen Mu felt that he had opened his mind at once, and when he turned around and waited for the seedling funds to come back, he started drip irrigation on his own forest farm.
At the end of the day, after listening to the speeches of several industrial experts and several domestic agricultural experts, Chen Mu felt that he had broadened his horizons and learned a lot of things that he had never heard of before.
On the second day, the exchange meeting was still held in the form of speeches.
However, the speakers today are some domestic people who have made achievements in desertification control and afforestation, most of them are farmers and entrepreneurs.
Chen Mu originally thought that today's speech was not very interesting, it was probably the report meeting of advanced representatives, but what he didn't expect was that the speeches of these farmers and entrepreneurs were more interesting than what those experts said on the first day. valuable.
"I didn't know anything at the beginning, so I wanted to try everything, find the most drought-tolerant variety, and then grow more... After years of experience, the Haloxylon tree is the most drought-tolerant, and then the red willow, Next is the flower stick, after the flower stick is the white thorn, behind the white thorn is the Populus euphratica, after the Populus euphratica is the sandy date... the most vulnerable to drought is the poplar, and the poplar is the easiest to dry out... "
When an old man who planted trees in Heishui City gave a speech, although his words were blunt and with a strong Mongolian accent, what he said was very close to reality, and every sentence was a point of knowledge. Anyone who has planted trees in the desert can understand what he said.
Although Chen Mu planted a lot of trees, but after all, he only had half a year's work and was inexperienced in many things.
He never knew which kind of tree was more resistant to drought. If he hadn't listened to the speech on this day, he would have never known that planting licorice can not only obtain economic benefits, but also control sand and improve soil.
The rhizobia in the roots of licorice can fix nitrogen and change the fertility of the soil. Therefore, as long as the land where licorice has been planted is used to plant other things, there will be very good harvests.
These…
It's all valuable knowledge, and I really learned something.
