Chapter 51: Insect infestation
Qi Pingyuan thought that he was now a rich man, and he thought that his forest farm could enter the mode of rapid development; For example, he can get a lot of money, and he can go to the forest farm to arrange more magic circles. But now it looks like it's really too optimistic.
Obviously, the income of the forest farm is very good, and the stable output of vegetables can make Qiping earn a lot of money; But it takes some time, and it also needs to be built up slowly. In addition, Qi Ping's expenses during this period are actually not small, planting fruit trees, laying irrigation systems, etc., of course, including buying a car or something, this time it is good, there is still not much money.
So it's better to keep a low profile now, it's actually a thing to be hated for being too high-profile; Because he doesn't have enough money in his pocket, Qi Ping now plans to continue to develop slowly, which is the most important thing for him, and it is also the most practical thing for him.
"Xiao Qi, come and have a look." received a call from Huang Siqing, and Huang Siqing now looks a little anxious.
Qi Ping's heart was also suddenly excited, Huang Siqing's voice was a little anxious, this must have encountered some trouble or something; Obviously, that's because you're in trouble.
After arriving in the United States, it can actually be said that Qi Ping's development has been smooth sailing, which has always made Qi Ping feel very optimistic. And now it seems that it is not a very good thing to be overly proud, which may make people fall into a big position.
"Xiao Qi, although we have been trying to catch insects now, we can't keep up with the growth of these insects." Huang Siqing was a little worried, although it seemed like it was just some signs now, but such signs were an extremely bad sign.
"Then we can't use pesticides or anything like that, otherwise the vegetables here will not be competitive." Qi Ping is also a headache, the vegetables here are marked with high-quality organic vegetables that are close to the usDa standard, so the presence of pesticides cannot be allowed at all. "Uncle Huang, see if we can recruit more employees, we can only rely on manual labor now."
"Although the large number of people seems to be able to improve some work efficiency, but Xiaoqi. Our side is basically saturated with manpower right now, and if you recruit new people, you'll be completely using it to catch bugs. And you've noticed that the environment on our side is very good, not only the vegetables grow well, but the weeds or these little insects also grow fast. Although Huang Siqing was also very anxious, he was actually unconfident in his heart.
Ever since humans have been growing vegetables, they have started to fight against pests; In the period when there is no so-called pesticide can be used, pest control is carried out in the most primitive way, such as catching pests with bare hands, avoiding plant leaves and mashing them with water and spraying them on vegetable leaves.
With the invention of the disease, changed people's habits and methods of pest control, because of its economical, convenient, effective and other characteristics, so that human beings use a large number of pesticides, and gradually with the use of a large increase, the consequences of pesticides are also revealed.
Pesticide residues in the soil, water and air in nature have increased the impact of the food chain, and even affected the health of human beings. Nowadays, there is a gradual trend towards organic cultivation methods that reduce the use of pesticides or do not use pesticides to ensure the safety of users and consumers.
Southern yellow thrips, leaf mites, fine mites; Tomato flies, gerbera flies, etc., these pests are actually harmful to the growth and quality of vegetables, and these pests are actually really difficult to deal with sometimes.
Applying pesticides seems to be the easiest, so easy and very convenient; But if pesticides are applied, then the value of these vegetables will basically be reduced to the lowest point, which is definitely not in the interests of Qiping.
In fact, Qi Ping also knows that organic vegetables do not use pesticides, but try to avoid using pesticides; And now, it's true that you can use a little pesticide or something. But that really doesn't work, the negative impact is too great, and that's definitely the last resort.
Qi Ping also knows that pesticides such as mineral sources and biological sources can still be used in organic vegetable farms, but first of all, they should be based on multi-faceted comprehensive pest control measures.
selection of pest-resistant varieties; Pay attention to the safety of the surrounding environment and create a safe environment free of pests and diseases; cultivation management measures to improve resistance to pests and diseases; artificial or natural enemy pest control; The timely and appropriate use of pesticides allowed by organic agriculture such as mineral-derived biological sources for prevention and control is actually the main direction of some organic farms in preventing pests.
The insecticide of organic vegetables mainly adopts physical methods, including insect-proof net isolation, yellow board, sexual attractant trapping, insecticidal lamp hunting, etc., in addition to the use of natural enemies of pests and other insecticides; Limit the use of biological agents for prevention and control, such as matrine, pyrethroids, BT, etc.
Although my own vegetable patch also pays attention to this, it does do some measures to prevent insect pests; In general, the insecticidal method of organic farms is actually done here, but it doesn't seem to work very well now, because the aura here is too abundant, and these pests grow too fast.
To put it simply, you can't use common sense to judge the situation of the forest farm, and there are indeed too many different things here. So at this time, maybe more different insecticidal methods are needed.
Qi Ping is now busy, busy looking up the information, busy contacting the experts, these are the things he has to do now. Now that there are some omen of insect infestation, then Qi Ping naturally can't help but care; Prevention is better than prevention, this is what Qiping needs to do now.
The environment of the forest farm is indeed very good, and it is indeed very suitable for the growth of animals and plants; But it's clear that these good environments and abundant aura here are not only good for vegetables, but also for those pests.
Some time ago, Qi Ping also received a reminder from Huang Siqing, that is, he would be careful not to deteriorate the surrounding environment, and not to let the surrounding pests pour into a place with sufficient aura like the vegetable field. Indeed, Qi Ping did a lot of homework; But it still doesn't seem to be enough, because those pests are growing quite fast.
So now, it's really time to get busy; Although he didn't have much money on hand now, for Qi Ping, the money could be spent, as long as he could find a better way to prevent pests, he would definitely be willing to give it up, because he knew that it would bring more benefits to himself.
"No way, I really can't handle this bug thing, I can't tell them not to come." Qi Ping is also a little weak, and now he can be regarded as working hard; However, the feedback received is still relatively limited, and it seems that there is still not much to do.
"Then you can think of a way, and I will also help you pay attention to it." Luo Yi was actually a little worried, and finally found an opportunity to break out; And now it is a great test, which really makes people feel that they have encountered cold water.
"I know everybody is trying to figure it out. Don't save me money, as long as I can kill insects, I think it's worth it. Qi Ping reminded that insecticide came first, and the rest was easy to say.
Luo Yi naturally knows this situation, so now it is important to find an effective way to kill insects; As for the rest, it will be judged when the time comes.
The most important thing for Qi Ping now is that the forest farm is the year of his life; And now if he wants the forest farm to continue to develop rapidly, then these vegetables must be the best way for him to make money now.
Qi Ping didn't want to make a mistake at this time, he had just made a very good start, and he didn't want to suffer the heaviest blow when he was about to achieve great success, which was something that Qi Ping would never accept. Although it seems that there are many options for the development of the forest farm, Qiping definitely does not want to make changes for such reasons, and there is no doubt about it!
