In late autumn, the breeze is cool and the green leaves are gradually red. In the 100-acre organic agricultural base of the Sanjia Village Committee of Maojie Town, Wuding County, the holly that spreads over the mountains has matured, and it has set off red waves with the wind under the blue sky and beautiful sun.
"It was just harvested yesterday, and when it was trimmed again, it grew again." Li Jingxiang, a major holly grower, walked on the path of the base with this writer, pointing to a piece of North American holly on the side of the road. I saw that the roots of the holly tree still had traces of fresh cutting, and the land next to it had not yet been harvested, and the full red holly shone in the sun.
The author walked into a family, and the owner, Hu Yingchang, had just finished farm work and was resting in the courtyard. He pointed to a large pile of holly next to him and said, "This was just harvested this morning, about 2 tons." More than 20 tons were harvested in the first two days. This year, 3 acres of holly sold for more than 200,000 yuan. ”
Holly is an evergreen tree with oval or nearly spherical fruit that is dark red when ripe. It is widely distributed in Asia, Europe, north Africa, North America and South America. Seeds and bark can be used for medicinal purposes, as well as old piles or growth inhibition measures to dwarf them and use them to make bonsai. The tree is a national key protected plant.
"The altitude and mountainous soil here are particularly suitable for growing holly. The holly, nitrogen, phosphorus, and physicochemical indicators are better than other places, so I came here to plant 330 acres of North American holly, and also planted 270,000 pots of alpine rhododendrons. Li Jingxiang introduced.
After poverty alleviation, the development of green agriculture according to local conditions has become the focus of the development of industries for the masses in Wuding County, and the planting of cash crops such as holly is the development of green agriculture.
Due to the good market and high prices, the villagers of the three villages are more and more motivated to plant cash crops under the forest. "In the past, villagers only planted some corn and vegetables they ate, and many of the land was abandoned. At present, cash crops such as grain crops and rapeseed are rotated and used efficiently, and the land is not abandoned, and the soil structure has been improved and the income of peasants has been increased. The general secretary of the party branch of the three villages told this writer.
Only by taking the new path of ecological priority and green development can we ensure the sustainable development of industrial development and rural revitalization. Green planting not only provides healthy products for the market, but also protects the ecological environment. Villagers in Sanjia Village said: "After we started organic farming in our village, it was obvious that there were more birds, greener mountains and greener water. And it is also a drinking water protection area in Cat Street Town, and the water quality of the reservoir is guaranteed without the use of pesticides. (Correspondent Yang Jiyuan Ye Hongyou)
