What kind of sorghum is Zhao Yafu?

On August 2nd, at 4 pm, the sun began to be west, and there was a silk wind in the air. In Daizhuang Village, Tianwang Town, Jurong City, Zhao Yafu came to the sorghum to observe the same as usual. The ten acres of sorghum that was planted for the first time this year will be harvested for ten days.

The hot air is steamed, Zhao Yafu is wearing a green POLO shirt, and the green sorghum leaves and red sorghum ears. Sorghum is usually planted in the north. Why did Zhao Lao taste new? Xinhua Daily · Jiaojiao reporter came to the scene to observe.

Good wine still needs sorghum incense

Waiting for the gap in Xia Tian, ​​Zhao Lao sat in the conference chair at will. He was holding a tea cup, wearing a common POLO shirt, a pair of black sports shoes, a pair of black -frame glasses, and chatting with the people around him briskly and humorously. If you don't listen carefully, no one can think that the old man in front of him is a model of the times.

The reporter asked: "Lao Zhao, why do you plant sorghum?"

Zhao Lao's eyes lighted up and quickly took over the topic. "Why plant sorghum? Brewery, incense!" Everyone laughed. Zhao Lao subsequently explained that although the main raw materials of liquor were rice, they also needed to add sorghum to make the flavor more mellow. The winery in the town, the sorghum required every year is purchased from different places.

Zhao Yafu keenly captured this important information, and a bold idea was born: trying to establish a local large -scale wine sorghum production base to ensure the supply of high -quality raw materials. The most important thing is that the integration of local industries can drive farmers to increase their income.

"The well -known winery Yanghe and this world have their own sorghum planting bases in our province." Li Chunhong, a researcher at the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the head of Lianshui Gaogou Workstation of Yafang, added that this is equivalent to self -breeding and self -brewed.

Sorghum is usually grown in the north. Can it adapt to the climate of Jiangsu?

"Overall, there is no dissatisfaction with sorghum." Zhao Lao said with a smile that as early as the 1950s, the province's sorghum planting area exceeded 6 million acres, but that era was to be full. After "drought to water", the whole province is growing rice, and the taste of rice is better. Sorghum is slowly withdrawn from the stage as grain crops.

Forest green water clear support organic sorghum planting

"Although Jiangsu has little sorghum planting, it is a big kind of sorghum in the north. Can we buy it directly?" The reporter expressed his doubts.

"You don't know." Zhao Lao replied, but we planted organic sorghum.

"Most people think that organic cultivation is not to use fertilizer, pesticides, and genetically modified seeds, not." Zhao Lao said that in order to achieve the high yield of agricultural products, some areas use pesticides and chemical fertilizers with oil and raw materials mainly in some areas. This is "oil agriculture". Soil microorganisms, insects, etc. disappeared, the agricultural ecosystem was destroyed, and "petroleum agriculture" destroyed the long -term development of the ecology.

"The focus of organic agriculture is not to use pesticide chemical fertilizers, but to cultivate biodiversity, repair the agricultural ecosystem, and explore new agricultural development models." Zhao Lao said that planting organic sorghum requires the support of the entire ecosystem. The entire village must comprehensively plan the original species structure and variety composition. For example, you can focus on rice products, supplemented by the fruit and vegetable industry, and combine pigs, sheep, chicken, duck, etc. On the basis of biological diversity agricultural development planning, organic sorghum can be considered. After 20 years of exploration, Dai Zhuang is now clear and green, which is suitable for planting organic sorghum.

"In Daizhuang, you can still see wild monkeys and wild baby fish from time to time!" Zhao Lao proudly said.

"At first, we said sorghum, we were surprised that we had never planted this thing before, and there were no good seedlings." Dai Zhuang's technical member of the organic agricultural machinery cooperatives Ren Guangming said.

"After the introduction of good breeds from outside the province, we adapt to the climate in the province through localized cultivation technology. After adaptability evaluation, identification, and cultivation, we planted Zhao Yafu's organic concept. I did not expect to be successful in the first year." Li Chunhong said.

In the sorghum land, Zhao pointed at the brand and said that the sorghum in the ground was breeded on April 4 this year, and it was transplanted on May 5. It is now full of red ears, which is even higher than people, and it can be harvested in more than 10 days.

Zhao Lao told reporters that after the sorghum was closed this season, it kept its stubborn mouth higher, and it could be one more season. "It's like cutting leeks, which can increase production."

"I want to promote Daizhuang experience"

"From the perspective of growing up, it is very good, not pesticides, no pollution, you see, there are seven -star ladybugs rolling on the leaves. This is the most powerful proof of not being pesticide." It is expected to yield 400 kg.

The reporter saw in the sorghum land that many birds hovered in the distance and flew down from time to time to peck a sorghum. The reporter couldn't help worrying, but Zhao Lao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if our planting area is large, it doesn't matter if the birds eat it, it doesn't matter if the worm eats it."

It turned out that Daizhuang has explored organic agricultural models since 2004. In the eyes of the villagers, the 82 -year -old Zhao Lao Xiafa is commonplace. Except for sorghum, rice and other crops, Zhao Lao is guiding. For 16 years, Daizhuang's rice has never been sprayed with pesticides and no pests. In addition to the one or two years of planting, fruit trees need to be sprayed with pesticides, and then they grow naturally naturally. In the organic agricultural model, the impact of insects on crops is small. If you are careful, in Daizhuang's rice fields, you can find more than 130 small animals including insects and aquatic animals.

In addition to the selection of disease -resistant varieties at the beginning, Zhao Lao is more important to adopt a health management model. The sorghum density is relatively sparse, and the sorghum can be ventilated and transmitted, thereby fully absorbing organic nutrients and mineral nutrition. "The ecology is well repaired, and naturally does not require pesticides. Sorghum is a typical case." Zhao Lao said with a cheerful agricultural technology system that fully adapted to the planting of organic sorghum. Organic sorghum can become a biological diversity agricultural technology system. important part. "This is the beginning of the preliminary era of organic sorghum."

Zhao Lao said that the sorghum grown in Huai'an and Suqian is ordinary sorghum, and he hopes to spread the experience of organic sorghum planting. In addition, planting organic sorghum also needs to consider market demand in the province. In addition to brewing, organic sorghum can also be used for by -products.

"I want to promote the 'Daizhuang Experience', and I hope that Jiangsu's agricultural development model is transformed into a new sustainable development model." Zhao Lao said that he suggested that according to different ecological types, that is, three types of wetlands, plains, hills, each, each, each, each, each, each, each, each, each, the wetlands, plains, and hills. Two types of demonstration villages are built to explore and learn Daizhuang experience.
