Chapter 58: You're Not a Bug (Ask for Collection)
Watermelons were on the market in July and August, and now it is the beginning of July, and now the seedlings are pulled, not to mention that the villagers do not agree, even if it is replaced by Li Lei, he will not agree. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, in this way, this year's watermelons will be planted in vain, and the loss is definitely not a small amount.
"Folks, this is a seed problem, a fundamental problem, and there is really no other solution." Expert Lin swore by it.
", the watermelons we worked so hard to grow, finally come to the harvest season, you say pull it out, pull it out, are you an expert or not?" There were grumpy villagers who scolded.
"Do you have the quality of this person, how can you speak?" Specialist Lin changed color.
"That's all I said, what do you want? We paid you to come over, and you gave us this idea, are you worthy of my money? ”
"Mr. Lin, in order to grow watermelons, my family took out a loan of tens of thousands. Just wait for the watermelon to ripen and marry my son's daughter-in-law! You can do it, and then think of a way. ”
……
Everyone was gossiping, threatening and requesting, and Expert Lin couldn't argue, and he couldn't wait to leave.
"Ahem, everyone be quiet, listen to me first."
Liu Jun glanced at Li Lei and couldn't help but blush.
This is Dingliu Village, these people are all his fellow villagers and neighbors, this Nima let the people of other villages see it, and they are simply ashamed to die.
In other words, if it weren't for his own village, it would be impossible for Liu Jun to be so active.
"Eldest nephew, hurry up and ask Teacher Lin. Uncle only planted watermelons after listening to your words, you can't die without saving! ”
"Brother Jun, we rely on you."
“……”
"I know, I know."
Liu Jun sighed, and a little remorse appeared in his heart.
At the beginning, in order to compete for the deputy mayor, he tried his best to persuade Ding Liu Village and his relatives to plant watermelons in several villages, if he lost a handful, he would definitely be scolded to death by his neighbors and relatives, and he would not be a man if he wanted to go home in the future.
"This is Li Lei, an agricultural expert I specially invited, and he graduated from-"
Speaking of this, Liu Jun paused violently, and couldn't help but look at Li Lei, Li Lei smiled secretly in his heart, and said, "Yuedong University." ”
"That's right, it's Yuedong University. As you all know, it's the best university in our province. ”
"Does Yuedong University have an agricultural major? How did I not know? ”
Expert Lin frowned and asked angrily.
Hearing that Li Lei is from the best university in the province, the villagers were originally a little excited, but when they heard this, everyone immediately looked at each other and said that there is no agricultural major, what do you mean?
Is it better to find a random college student than us? Although we haven't gone to college, we have been farming for decades, so we are not as good as a young man who has not grown all his hair?
"How do you speak? Who said Yuedong University doesn't have an agriculture department? Wang Jiahai's face sank and retorted angrily.
He is now proud of Li Lei, how can he be questioned by others.
Anyway, in his opinion, Li Lei must have studied agriculture, otherwise it would not be so powerful.
Expert Lin sneered, "In our Yuedong Province, the best agricultural college is Yuedong Agricultural University, followed by our Lingnan Agricultural College. Yuedong University is indeed a first-class university, but they specialize in the technical industry, and in terms of agriculture, they are far inferior to the agricultural college. What's more, I have been in Lingnan for 20 years and have never heard of Yuedong University majoring in agriculture. ”
"Big nephew, what's going on?"
"Huh?"
Expert Lin's remarks made Liu Jun feel a sigh in his heart, and his confidence in Li Lei instantly dropped to the lowest.
Even if he is an idiot, he understands that a college student who has not studied agriculture is probably not as skilled as an ordinary villager.
But now, he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, otherwise Baba invited someone to come over and sent away with a word, and he really couldn't explain it to the villagers.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said stubbornly, "Three masters, big guys, Li Lei is indeed an agricultural expert, there is no doubt about it. I invited him here to solve the problem of withering the seedlings, and everything will be said after he has seen it. ”
"Hmph, I want to see how an ordinary college student can solve agricultural problems."
Expert Lin was originally upset by the villagers, and he couldn't wait to come out, and when he saw that Liu Jun invited an ordinary college student, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore.
Professionals, you don't believe it, but you believe in the layman, don't you look down on this expert?
When the words fell, everyone looked at Li Lei, waiting for his answer.
Li Lei always remained calm, facing many eyes, he walked to a withered melon seedling, pulled it out with all his might, pointed to the ground and said: "The problem is very simple, in fact, it is here." ”
"What do you mean? I checked the soil and the pH was right and there were no problems. Expert Lin interjected.
Li Lei squinted his eyes and swept over Expert Lin, and said disdainfully: "No matter where the problem is, it is definitely not a seed problem." ”
Expert Lin was slightly angry, "Joke! Then tell me, the water and soil are normal, and no pests and diseases have been found, why is this happening? ”
Li Lei looked around and said lightly: "Selenium-rich watermelon is a specialty of Taiping Township in the next county, which is famous all over the country and has a mark of origin. I haven't been to Taiping Township, but I can guess that since only their selenium-rich watermelons are famous, it is obvious that their geological conditions and soil activity are the most suitable for this variety. ”
"Of course, watermelons of the same variety in other places may not reach the quality of Taiping Township, but that doesn't mean they can't ripen. Taiping Township is close to the Yellow River, and the soil is mainly sandy, while our side is too far away from the Yellow River and is dominated by red soil. The difference in pH between the two soil qualities is very small, but the bacteria in the soil are very different. And in the first year of planting, we ignore some special pests. ”
"Those pests have limited impact on staple crops such as corn, but they can damage the roots of watermelons, causing seedlings to wilt and die."
While speaking, Li Lei squatted down, stretched out his hand and dig, and a few small insects crawled beside him.
"You see, this entomological name is needleworm, which feeds on its roots and has limited damage to corn, but watermelons need a lot of nutrients when they are ripe, and once the roots are eaten, the weather is hot now, and it will inevitably wither in a short time."
"This, it can't be, right?"
Seeing that Li Lei said that the head was the Tao, Lin Expert was somewhat weak-hearted, "According to textbooks, needleworm is a common pest in farmland, mainly eating corn, soybeans and wheat roots, and there has never been a record of scourge of watermelons. ”
"You're not a needleworm, how do you know they don't eat?"
"You, you're clearly messing around."
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll know if you try it."
Li Lei was too lazy to take care of him, and turned his head to look at Liu Jun, "Mayor Liu, I have explained the cause of the disease, and now there are two steps, one is to transport soil from the bank of the Yellow River and sprinkle it evenly in the watermelon field, and the other is to sprinkle the corresponding pesticides on the ground." If all goes well, the results will be seen in two days. ”
"Big nephew, look?"
Having said so much, and seeing that Li Lei is confident, the big guy already believes it a little. But in the end, Liu Jun has to make a decision.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Jun slapped his thigh fiercely, "Just follow Li Lei's method, I'll take care of the problem!" ”
