Promoting the Healthy Development of Vegetables and the Quality Improvement of Citrus in Xiangxi, Hunan

In the first ten - day period of July, in order to promote the healthy and organic development of vegetables in Yongshun County, Xiangxi, Hunan Province, and the improvement of the yield and quality of citrus in Longshan County, the agrochemical technicians and regional managers of Yishizhuang, with the cooperation of local dealers and the local soil and fertilizer stations, organized several technical training sessions, which were a complete success!

At the technical training session organized in Yongshun County, more than 100 large - scale vegetable and kiwifruit growers came. Teacher Guo, an agrochemical technician, explained the fertilization management in the middle and late stages of peppers and the nutritional requirements and key points of field management of kiwifruit according to the annual growth characteristics of vegetables and kiwifruit.

Before the meeting, Teacher Guo showed the farmers videos of the experimental demonstrations and achievements of Yishizhuang in vegetable planting in various places over the years. Subsequently, he introduced in detail the fertilizer requirements of peppers and kiwifruit in each growth period to the farmers. Combining with the existing problems in local crop planting, he emphasized the need to appropriately supplement medium and trace elements to avoid problems such as slow growth, leaf yellowing, navel rot, and fruit drop caused by nutrient deficiency in crops. At the end of the meeting, Teacher Guo popularized some knowledge about organic fertilizers to the farmers, guided the farmers to correctly choose organic fertilizers, and enhanced the concept of replacing part of chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers.

After the training, the farmers all said that they had benefited a lot. They continued to stay and discuss with the agrochemical staff about the fertilization problems in their field production. Teacher Guo answered them one by one and recommended the mature fertilization plans that had been tested and demonstrated for many years to the large - scale growers. More than 20 tons of Yishizhuang special fertilizers were ordered on the spot.

After the vegetable training meeting, the agrochemical technicians and regional managers of Yishizhuang went to Longshan County. Under the organization of the Soil and Fertilizer Station in Longshan County, three training sessions on improving the quality of citrus were successively carried out, with a cumulative attendance of more than 200 people.

Under the detailed explanation of the experts, the citrus growers gradually understood that the quality of citrus is closely related to soil health and tree nutrition. To ensure the quality and yield of citrus, the first step is to improve the soil, increase the application of organic fertilizers, and pay attention to the supplementation of medium and trace elements. The local citrus growers said that quality is the difficult problem they urgently need to overcome at present. After seeing the application effects of Yishizhuang's citrus formula fertilizers in various citrus production areas, they hoped to try them in their own citrus orchards. The agrochemical experts formulated different fertilization plans for the citrus growers according to the size of the tree vigor, the amount of fruit setting, and the soil infertility in the citrus orchards. 15 tons of Yishizhuang 35% and 42% citrus formula fertilizers were ordered on the spot, and so far, more than 60 tons have been ordered.

In order to promote the healthy and organic development of crops, improve the quality and yield, and achieve the goals of reducing chemical fertilizers and improving the soil, Yishizhuang has always been at the forefront, going deep into the fields, helping farmers solve practical problems, and bringing more accurate nutritional fertilization plans to farmers. It is believed that with professional technical support, the goal of "one reduction and two improvements" is just around the corner.
