After dinner, the sun came out.

Chen Yuan helped his sister wash dishes: "The sun in the South Island is very radiant. If you can go out to bask in the sun, don't go out. Stay at home and go online to find some rambutan and lychee cultivation techniques."

"Where are you going?"

"Nursehouse Base." Chen Yuan said.

"I want to go too..." Chen Xiao puffed up his cheeks.

"I'll buy fertilizer and I'll come back at noon." Chen Yuan said.

"Just come here and go out for a walk."

"Let's go..."

The scenery of the tropical orchard is good.

When you go out to the farm, there is a farm that specializes in the cultivation of dragon fruit on both sides of the outside...

It seems that there are more than 300 acres of land, and the planting area of ​​dragon fruit is 300 acres. There are more than 10 acres of longan gardens, with some papayas and coconut fruits sparsely planted.

Qingmu Farm also has coconut trees, more than 40, planted on both sides of the gate, mainly for landscape trees. Of course, the coconut trees planted also bear fruit...

There are an unknown small valley with more than 20 farms of all sizes and sizes. Many families have planted coconut fruits, which are basically kept for themselves.

The fruits grown here are very diverse. The most are the ones that grow dragon fruit. Secondly, longan, lychee... and jackfruit. There are all kinds of fruits...

The scenery is nice and there are a wide variety of fruits. It is very natural, and there are several B&Bs in the valley.

Go out of the valley and walk straight through the road. There are still large orchards on both sides of the road. There are a few acres of small orchards, dozens of acres of large orchards, hundreds of acres... Of course, there are even larger orchards.

It was estimated that half an hour after riding a scooter, Chen Yuan saw the "Tingzhou Tropical Nursery Base", a state-owned farm that cultivates various fruit seedlings, also grows fruits, and provides technical services to local growers. There is a row of white buildings next to the sign, selling various farm tools, fertilizers, etc.

"There are agricultural machinery sales... I bought a small excavator in the morning, and there are also ones here." After passing the agricultural machinery store, Chen Xiao pulled Chen Yuan and said, "Go in and ask the price. If the price is cheap here, we will refund the morning order. Anyway, the goods have not been shipped yet."

"OK……"

The price of the micro excavator here is more than 20,000 yuan after agricultural subsidies is the cheapest one. The most expensive one is more than 90,000 yuan...

Chen Xiao asked about the price, and logged into the website to enter the micro excavator of the same brand, and the prices on both sides... If you buy it online, it will be a little cheaper. Different models have more than a thousand yuan in price...

Then I went to the fertilizer shop.

"Boss, I have 5 acres of vineyards and have started to bear fruit. What kind of fertilizer should I apply and how much fertilizer should I apply..." Chen Yuan came to buy fertilizer, and also planned to ask a technician to go back and provide guidance to him.

"Which farm do you have?"

"Jinzhen Farm, I just took over and changed it to 'Aoki Farm'."

"I know that farm, the previous farmer was Lao Luo and Luo Yongming. Luo Yongming and I have been friends for decades..." Feed 'boss', a man who looked fifty or sixty years old, had a little gray hair and said with a smile: "How is the fruit harvesting situation of your farm's durian tree this year?"

Chen Yuan spread his hands: "If there are too many fruits, Boss Luo will not sell it to me."

"As well... My name is Zhou Wen, not the boss, but the technician of the orchard. I used to go to your farm... I used to apply organic fertilizer to 5 acres of vineyards, about 3 tons. There are 10 acres of rambutan and lychees, and I also need to apply organic fertilizer... Organic fertilizer is good and the land is raised. Lao Luo did not use organic fertilizer last year, so it is best to apply heavy fertilizer once this year... By the way, are rambutan and lychees blooming?" Zhou Wencai is not an ordinary technician, but a teacher from Nandao Agricultural University. This is taking students out for internships.

"The buds appeared."

"The flower-promoting fertilizer before the flower, the chemical fertilizer should be 25% nitrogen and potassium fertilizers and 35% phosphorus fertilizers throughout the year. It should be applied during the differentiation period of lychee flower buds, which can promote flower bud differentiation and increase the fruit setting rate. It has not bloomed yet, right? You can also apply organic fertilizer once. It is best to give heavy fertilizers, 30-50 kilograms of organic fertilizers per tree. Don't be afraid of too much organic fertilizer..."

Chen Yuan nodded: "I heard that fertilizer can be used on credit, and I will pay after I sell the fruit."

"Yes. How much fertilizer is needed?"

Chen Yuan thought for a while: "Can you go to my farm and guide me? I have never planted tropical fruit trees before..."

"Okay. It's going to another farm tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll trouble you. Leave a phone number and call you what fertilizer I need in the future."

"Okay... I am a teacher from the Agricultural University. I bring students to the internship. If you buy fertilizer, you have to keep the staff's phone number... I'll go to your farm tomorrow morning. By the way, I have thirteen interns here. I will take them together tomorrow. You want to provide us with a lunch, okay?"

Chen Yuan nodded quickly.

On the way back, Chen Yuan moved to the town and bought some meat and vegetables...

Chen Yuan is a novice in managing the orchard, but at least he is a person from the countryside. He knows a little... The dealer relies on manure as the head of the house.

Manure, that is, fertilizer...

What fertilizer should be applied at different times have a great impact on fruit yield and also affect the quality of fruits.

When applying fertilizer, you cannot apply it randomly. There are requirements for what fertilizer to apply when and how much fertilizer to apply.

The next day, just dawn, Teacher Zhou Wen brought a dozen students to the farm...

In the morning, Teacher Zhou Wen explained to Chen Yuan how to prune paper strips, those new branches should be left and the pruning of flower clusters. If you want to have good grapes, pruning flower clusters is a must... and what pesticides should be used throughout the year.

After hearing what medicine the teacher wants to take in a year, Chen Yuan was overwhelmed. He really wanted to build an organic farm... but conditions did not allow it.

Organic farms are simple to say, but if they are really done, they are also troublesome. The main thing is that they don’t have money...

Chen Yuan also thought about making a profit this year.

Chen Yuan was not sure whether the durian tree could still bloom. It was already March, mid-March...

If it doesn't bloom in May, then the durian orchard can only wait for next year.

In this way, Qingmu Farm only has 5 acres of grapes, 5 acres of rambutan, 5 acres of lychees...

The sun was coming out, and Chen Yuan and his group came to the Rambutan Orchard. Chen Yuan kept asking questions and taking notes.

When he was studying, he had to be as serious as he was now. He should be a student from a prestigious university.

After a day of study, Chen Yuan gained a lot.
