On September 7, Yongchang County carried out the "Zhangzagu" seed promotion site meeting in Tuanzhuang Village, Liuba Town.
The reporter saw at the scene that the golden ears of grain were undulating in the wind, setting off bursts of golden waves, and each grain was trying its best to suck the nutrients from the sun and the soil, accumulating strength to make itself fuller.
In the field, experts from all over the country introduced the significant advantages of "Zhangzagu" No. 16 in detail, and exchanged planting experience with growers. The participants observed and learned about the cost, planting advantages and yield of new varieties of seeds. As a new type of hybrid millet variety, "Zhangzagu" No. 16 has the characteristics of high yield, stable yield and strong disease resistance, and can maintain stable yield in arid areas, while its characteristics of full grain and excellent taste have higher market value.
Through this exchange, observation and learning, the participants had a comprehensive understanding of the planting technology, field growth, market prospects, and price trends of millet, which provided a support basis for the adjustment of the county's planting structure and the enrichment of food crop planting categories, and laid a good foundation for the next step of promotion.
In recent years, Yongchang County has vigorously introduced and promoted dry agricultural crops suitable for the local area in accordance with local conditions, and effectively accelerated the "last mile" for farmers to increase their income and get rich. This year, the county has tried to plant more than 1,200 acres of "Zhangzagu", and the estimated yield per mu exceeds 1,000 catties.
