Quality Relies on Yishizhuangs Agricultural Technology and Services

In July, the sun was scorching and the heatwaves were rolling in Bailizhou, Zhijiang. However, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the sand pear cooperatives and large - scale growers from Yicheng, Xiangyang and Zhongxiang, Jingmen to visit the thousand - mu pear orchard of Shuanghong Sand Pear Cooperative. On July 12th, Hubei Yishizhuang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhijiang Shuanghong Sand Pear Cooperative jointly held a on - site observation meeting on the package fertilization technology for sand pears. Nearly 30 professional cooperatives and large - scale growers from four regions of Yichang, Xiangyang, Jingzhou and Jingmen visited the planting base of Shuanghong Sand Pear Cooperative with great interest.

Bailizhou Town, Zhijiang City is located at the first section of the Jingjiang River in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It is surrounded by river water on all sides. It overlooks Jingchu in the east, reaches the Three Gorges River in the west, is connected to Songzi City by a stretch of water in the south, and faces the urban area of Zhijiang across the river in the north. It is the largest mid - stream river island in the Yangtze River. Its unique climatic conditions and geographical location make it the best place to produce pollution - free Bailizhou pears. The sand pears in Bailizhou, Zhijiang have been rated as "Top Ten Famous Fruits in China" by the Fruit Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences for their unique quality and have won the title of "Geographical Indication Agricultural Product" by the Ministry of Agriculture.

However, in the past, long - term traditional management and fertilization led to a decline in fruit quality and a reduction in income, which greatly dampened the enthusiasm of fruit farmers. Under the guidance of the national industrial technology system, Hubei Yishizhuang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. joined hands with universities and colleges, and cooperated with Zhijiang Shuanghong Sand Pear Cooperative to conduct a three - year demonstration experiment on high - quality sand pear fertilization technology. By combining the nutritional characteristics of pear trees, applying plant - source organic fertilizers and fulvic acid compound fertilizer package products, and cooperating with fertilization techniques, the quality and yield of the orchard have been significantly improved and consolidated, and the soil fertility has been well maintained.

Through on - site comparison data measurement, the fruits in the package fertilization demonstration area have a high degree of consistency. The fruit shapes are regular, uniform, and the peel color is correct, with a small average difference. The average single - fruit weight is 12 grams higher than that of the control, and the hardness of the peel by hand feel is 0.4 Pa higher than that of the control area, indicating an increase in the shelf life. Through taste evaluation, the fruits in the demonstration area have a fine - textured, juicy, crispy, fragrant, and sweet taste, with fewer stone cells. The average sugar content is 0.8 degrees higher than that of the control, and the high - quality product rate is 10% higher. At the same time, the soil environment has been well maintained, and the soil pH value is maintained at around 6.5, maintaining the soil's acid - base balance.

As a leading professional cooperative for high - quality sand pear cultivation in Bailizhou, Zhijiang Shuanghong Sand Pear Cooperative comprehensively and flexibly applies the package fertilization technology in the two production methods of cylindrical and trellis - shaped sand pears. Yishizhuang's package fertilization for sand pears formulates a targeted fertilization technical plan by combining production factors such as variety, growth period, expected yield, and fertilization conditions. The base fertilizer used is pure plant - source organic fertilizer plus long - acting functional compound fertilizer. The top - dressing products are all high - quality tower - type fulvic acid organic - inorganic water - soluble fertilizer series. During the use and demonstration process, it maintains close contact and follow - up services with the person in charge of the base demonstration, always pays attention to the growth status, and provides services in the fields.

This observation allowed the visiting cooperative leaders and large - scale growers to see the power of science and technology and the advantages of technical services. Everyone communicated with each other and gained a lot in pear orchard establishment methods, pruning management, pest management, brand creation, marketing methods, especially in the nutritional management of high - quality pears. They are determined to jointly build a high - quality sand pear technology exchange platform, a regional industrial cluster, and a self - owned brand.
