In the summer of the summer, in the orchard in the city of Korla, the Bayin Guo Leng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, Tou Bingqian looked at the pear trees carefully, and sweat flowed down from a dark face, but she was completely disregarding.

Lou Bingqian is a researcher at the Agricultural Technology Promotion Center of Zhejiang University. During the 3 years of assisting Xinjiang, she defeated the branches that almost caused Korla Xiangli to suffer from the disease of the disaster, let the Xiangli tree live up, and was cordially referred to as the "Xiangli goddess" by the fruit farmers.

After more than a month, the pears will be sent from Korla to more than 300 cities across the country. This refreshing fruity aroma has also condensed countless efforts of the soldiers who have been working on plant disease prevention and treatment for decades.

"Need me there, I'm going to go"

The beginning of Tou Bing's aid in Xinjiang came suddenly.

Four years ago, a phone call from the relevant national departments found the Tower Bingan. After listening to the news, her heart suddenly tightened: Xiangli tree in many places in Xinjiang encountered unknown diseases, and the situation of Korla, the core of the core production area of ​​Xiangli, was even more severe.

In Xinjiang, the "hometown of Guagu", the forest and fruit industry has always been an important path for the people of all ethnic groups to increase their income and become rich. There are more than 20,000 Xiangli fruit farmers in Korla, and the income of Xiangli accounts for one -third of the average income of local farmers.

The trunk of the military doctorate of plant pathology mainly attacked the testing and appraisal and prevention and control technology of biological safety, green agriculture, and important quarantine diseases. For more than 20 years of coaching at Zhejiang University, she lectured on agricultural plant pathological courses. Over the years, teaching and scientific research and practice is closely integrated with the fields. Realizing that the situation was serious, she hung up the phone and rushed to Xinjiang 4,000 kilometers away the next day.

The situation is really not optimistic. "Beginning in 2017, many pear trees in the orchard suddenly became ill." Zhang Yizhi, director of the Lincao Bureau of Korla City, still remembers that the large pear tree "was burned like a fire." This is also the first time in the history of more than 1,300 years of cultivation in Korla Xiangli, Xinjiang. In the second year, 80%of the fruit trees in the city of orchard developed 47%!

What is the pear tree? As soon as the building went to Xinjiang, he went straight to the orchard. This is a devastating bacterial disease of Rosaceae plants such as pears and apples. In foreign countries, there have been more than 200 years of struggle with this country.

Fortunately, for the prospective consideration of the discipline, Tou Binggan carried out research on branches for a long time, and proposed a series of effective prevention and control measures. As a result, she shared many years of research results with local fruit farmers and technicians without reservation.

According to this momentum, pear trees should have recovered slowly. Unexpectedly, after returning to Hangzhou, she successively received the information from Xinjiang fruit farmers: "Professor Lou, why is this medicine no effect?" "Professor Lou, the disease area is still expanding." ...

The picture she saw in the field of Korla in her mind: the pear trees died, and some pear trees that had been planted for a lifetime were chopped. The orchard became bare, and the fruit farmers sat directly on the ground and cried. These were deeply tingling.

This "pain" stems from her love for agriculture and awe of career. When she was admitted to the former Zhejiang Agricultural University plant protection department and was still ignorant of her majors, the first lesson of the university listened to the story of her predecessors who bowed to the country's agricultural development, and since then she was engraved.

Those who really feel responsible and mission are after graduating from the Graduate Graduate. At that time, the edamame in Zhejiang had rust. She was responsible for studying the subject, which not only accurately found the cause, but also solved the foreign trade problem caused by illness. "It is unspeakable to help farmers to solve the problem, and to help farmers solve problems." She said.

Facing the feedback of Xinjiang fruit farmers, she was confused and anxious. Soon, when Zhejiang University would launch a new round of cadres aid in Xinjiang, the Tower Bingqian submitted the application and went to the Tarim University of the counterpart. "Need me there, I'm going!" She made up her mind to make Xinjiang Xiangli scent again.

In order to seize the critical period of prevention and treatment of branches, in March 2019, the Tower Bing's plan to report to Xinjiang two months in advance, and as soon as he put down his luggage, he pierced into Korla's Xiangli Garden.

"Do research, be rigorous and responsible"

In August, the University of Tarim has already started the summer vacation model. Tou Bing did not return to Zhejiang. She took root in Korla's orchard like a pear tree, just like when she first arrived in Xinjiang.

Why are some orchards particularly serious? My own plan is obviously safe, effective and reliable. ... At the beginning, Tou Bing urgently wanted to find the answer.

Toubu ran the orchard day after day, observing and summarizing, and finally found the problem. It turned out that the local medicine was limited to the tractor, the top of the tree was not sprayed, and the fruit farmers were in order to save trouble. The uneven diluted pharmaceuticals caused poor effect ... The question mark was opened one by one, and the right medicine was directed.

As a scientific researcher, Tou Bingqian understands that in order to truly cure branches, more rigorous scientific research is needed. She and the team investigated while simultaneously launching the key prevention and control technology test demonstration and pharmaceutical screening work of the clutch blight.

Pharmacy screening is a very important part of the prevention and control of branches. Earlier, there have been attempts in the local area, but it is stuck in the pathogens of the pathogen -this is the prerequisite and foundation of scientific comparative trials. "We used to be the" Tu Ba Road ", and the methods were not standard or standardized." Qin Weiming, a member of the earliest expert technical group and the head of the original technical department of the Bazhou Shayidong Garden Art Field, only used 3 days to see Lou Binggan for only 3 days. When I saw it, I felt that the "expert" came. From the cultivation of pathogenic bacteria, the use of medicine to the diseased plant, and then found a valid agent ... In 2019, she led the team to conduct more than 400 groups of comparative trials of more than 50 medicaments. The test is tight. The concentration of the pharmaceutical agent and the time of medication may lead to different results. At the same time, this process is also boring, and it needs to be repeated.

"Teacher Lou said to us' research, we must be rigorous and responsible." What we do is to find the most effective prevention and control technology. "Liu Pengfei, the backbone member of the team, said that because of this, there were 5 kinds of security, prevention and control in that year. After the effective 3 groups of pharmaceutical combinations of chemicals with good chemicals and key prevention and control periods, the team has not stopped, and more than 800 groups of medicament comparative tests have been performed so far.

It is impossible for the social level to truly prevent the prevention and control of branches. In 2019, she led a test demonstration in an orchard in a severe condition in Harakong Township. Due to jet lag, locals are accustomed to working from 10 am, but Tou Bingan always "long standby". "From 8 am to 1 am, in addition to eating, either investigating in the orchard or testing in the base, or summarizing it in the office." Liu Pengfei said.

The miracle in the eyes of fruit farmers happened! This fall, the disease in the demonstration park was effectively controlled, and the pear trees grew well. By 2020, the incidence of plants decreased from more than 80%to 2%in the past.

Finding valid agents and methods, Tou Bingqian did not eager to write papers and report patents. Instead, he formulated a technical guidance plan for the first time. Under the high attention of governments at all levels of Xinjiang and the Corps, the whole Xinjiang is promoted and applied.

It was during the repeated and persistent efforts again and again that in 2021, the area of ​​fruit branches in Xinjiang fell from 630,000 mu in 2018 to 150,000 mu; In particular, the rate of onset plants in the city of Korla decreased significantly to 0.7%; the total output of Xiangli in Xinjiang rose from 700,000 tons in 2018 to 1.03 million tons in 2021.

Faced with these achievements, Tou Bingqian did not attribute credit to himself. "Without the support and trust of governments at all levels of the autonomous region and the Corps, it is difficult for the technical solution to be promoted so quickly; if there is no reinforcement unit Tarim University, this solid backing, it will be difficult for me to rush in Xiangli Garden like this; if there is no Zhejiang Province, there is no Zhejiang Province. The cooperation between the aid headquarters does not have the active cooperation of the majority of fruit farmers, and the technology cannot play a role. "

"Technology, it is necessary to bloom on the land"

Is it really controllable or controllable for branches? This question was put in silence a few years ago, but now they will not hesitate to give a positive answer.

The formation of consensus is not easy. Let Xiangli a "rich fruit", Tou Bingqian understands that more people should understand this disease and master scientific prevention and control technical measures as soon as possible.

"We have seen some so -called 'experts' before." The Korlas and Farm Director Liao Jiming told reporters. The planting area of ​​people and farm has more than 5,000 acres, and 139 household contractors rely on Xiangli tree to make a living. After the illness became ill, many "experts" have been brought one after another. In order to solve the problem as soon as possible, the farm also took out 40 acres of pear gardens to provide experimental places for 14 pharmacy manufacturers. As a result, the disease was not cured, and more and more trees were sick.

But they found that the experts were different.

He has been rated as an excellent technology commissioner in Zhejiang Province for many times. Tou Bingqian knows how to communicate with farmers. "The words in the book, farmers don't like to listen." She said. She explained to the farmers why the first flowering period of the disease should be used to take medicine: "If you don't take the medicine at this time, it is like an enemy attacking the city. In addition, pathogenic bacteria also need to eat. The flower bones are sweet, the tender branches are fresh, and the bacteria like the most. "The light talk is not good, standing in the field, she often picked up the trimming and directly demonstrated.

"Following the teacher of the Lou, the pear trees have survived, and everyone's confidence is back!" Liao Jiming's own 100 acres of orchards were full of fragrant pears. According to the expected market price, the output value of this year exceeds one million yuan.

"Teacher Lou, you must take a look at your results." Knowing that the soldiers were working back to Korla, on the phone, the fruit farmers could not hide their enthusiasm and joy. In Weili County, which was a one -hour drive from Korla, Xu Zigang's 300 acres of pear gardens was full of vitality, and pear branches were dotted with fragrant pears. "Thanks to Teacher Lou." Standing next to Lishu, Xu Zigang thanked Lou Bingqian from his heart.

Three years ago, it was another situation. "At that time, don't say that the farmers took the initiative to call. We went to the ground. The peasants walked far when they heard that the expert came." Tou Bingqian could only take the lead and gradually established trust. As the benefits of her orchards were gradually getting better, there were more and more fruit farmers who came to consult. In the past few years, every training meeting, she will disclose her mobile phone number. Xu Zigang heard a lesson and wrote down the number.

After receiving a call for help in April this year, Tou Bingqian rushed to Xu Zigang's orchard that day. The terribleness of branches is super contagious. Not only will it spread with the wind and rain, but even the honey bees and fruit farmers have grabbed the hand with bacteria branches. "Pharmaceuticals should be used in the right time", "Pharmacy must be diluted in the secondary time", "You can't touch the onset parts when trimming", "Scissors should be disinfected, and the sick branches should be concentrated and destroyed." And details, Xu Zigang's head is the Tao. After the "Xiangli Goddess" was obtained here, his Yiyuan production was expected to reach 2 tons this year, and the product rate exceeded 80%. "Technology must be fruitful on the land." In the past three years, the team has led the team to establish more than 3,000 acres of comprehensive prevention and control trial demonstration parks in the southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang, local and military regiments. The field training session, training grass -roots technicians, technical backbones, and farmers. Li Zhen, a farmer of the 29th Regiment Park of the 29th Division of the Second Division, is the "iron powder" of Toubu. Because of the good learning, not only did his own pear garden manage well, it became a demonstration household, but also invited to become a lecturer to help more people increase their income.

The aid work of Tou Bingqian is about to expire, and the battle with the branches has also achieved a staged victory, but she has not stopped the pace of serving the fruit farmers. During the interview, the reporter followed the building to visit the orchard and found that the fruit tree in a orchard was not ill. "This is what I am most worried about. Although the prevention and control of the branches is generally better, there will always be individual orchard prevention and control technology." Lou Bingqian said that she wanted to walk as much as possible before the end Technology brings to more people's homes.

The story of Tou Bingqian and Xinjiang is not over. Driven by the Zhejiang Provincial Aid Headquarters, the building of the building is still conducting corresponding research on the brand building of Zhejiang's ecological aid and the improvement of the quality and efficiency of the Akslin fruit industry to provide technical reserves and guarantees. Zhejiang University South Xinjiang Innovation Research Institute is also preparatory. As the first batch of members, the "Xiangli Goddess" will continue to Xinjiang as a new identity.
