Chapter 189: Increasing Production
In the blink of an eye, it is another autumn harvest.
This year, the weather is good, there are no disasters, and the crops in the fields are growing well.
Farmers are busy for a year, and they are looking forward to a good harvest.
The old ears of the rice are long, the bread is full and tight, and on the straw of a rice plant, two or three ears of rice can be produced, who is not happy to see it?
More than a foot and a half of soybean straw are all full of pods, all of which are full of seeds, grinning to reveal the golden beans inside, who is not happy to see it?
Purple sorghum and golden ears of grain, bent over and bowed down.
A gust of wind blew, and the ears of sorghum and ears of grain nodded and swayed with the wind, as if they were dancing to celebrate the harvest.
The autumn harvest, no matter how tired it is, is also happy.
This year, the second brigade not only planted fields.
Yu Shouguang really planted soybeans in accordance with what Xu Shiyan said.
The growth of the soybeans was unexpectedly good, but everyone was very happy.
Needless to say, these soybeans are not within the quota of the superiors and do not need to be handed in.
When the time comes, it will be sent to the oil mill to extract oil, and the soybean oil family can share a little, and the soybean cake can be kept for top dressing next year.
Then the production of the land increases, and the income of the big guys increases.
Hey, when I think about it, I feel that life is very promising.
During the autumn harvest season, even the students are on vacation, and all the old and young in the team have to work in the fields as long as they can work.
After finishing the team, you have to take the little land you have to keep for yourself.
Both of the Xu family are on the mountain, and they don't need them for the autumn harvest in the team, but they can't keep their own land.
So Xu Chenghou stayed behind to participate in the land, and Xu Shiyan went out early and returned late, and went back to collect the land for himself.
Su Anying was more than eight months pregnant, had a big belly, and wanted to help out a little, so frightened that Xu Shiyan hurriedly coaxed her daughter-in-law home.
In his previous life, Xu Shiyan was seriously injured and unable to move because of an accident in the mine.
At that time, the brothers all moved away, and Xu Chenghou was busy with the work of the team.
The Xu family is both self-reserved and a small wasteland, and they are really busy, so Su Anying will pick sweet potatoes back with her child.
Now the Xu family doesn't have so much land for themselves, and there is no small waste, and Xu Shiyan is also good, how can he let the big-bellied daughter-in-law work?
The two families did not have much land for themselves, less than one acre, and Xu Shiyan quickly harvested it.
At this time, the team informed that from September 18th, the second bridge would be opened.
As a technician, Xu Shiyan naturally had to go with him.
On the 18th, Xu Shiyan took a group of young men straight to the No. 2 Bridge, and when they got there, they arranged for people to work.
Xu Shiyan took Zhao Jianjian, Yang Chunming, Feng Chao and others to the fifty zhang test site of last year's top dressing.
"We don't care about anything else, let's get these fifty zhang up today.
Soak the scale on the spot, and then compare it with the ginseng field next to it to see what the effect of top dressing of soybean cake water is. ”
Xu Shiyan pointed to the fifty zhang mallet and said with confidence.
In fact, you don't need to get up the mallet, just look at the mallet seedlings above, there is a clear difference.
Fifty zhang of topdressing here, the mallet seedlings can be half a foot higher than those without topdressing, and the stalks are thick, and some can catch up with the little fingers.
"The First Evolution"
With this seedling, can the mallet at the bottom be worse?
The big guy didn't say a word, and began to withdraw the ginseng.
Yang Chunming picked up three teeth and brought up three trees at once.
"Hey, this mallet is really good, look at it, it's very good."
As soon as the three teeth shook and hugged, the three mallets were revealed, and they were really white and chubby, and they looked good.
When others heard this, they were also anxious, and hurriedly picked up the three teeth to plan.
Then, I heard Feng Chao also say that the mallet grows well,
The fifty zhang mallet in the experimental field is just a string.
There are also people next to them, and as soon as the big guys heard that the mallet was big here, they all came over to join in the fun.
Others brought more than a dozen mallets from there for comparison.
In comparison, it is really different, the top dressing is larger than the non-top dressing.
"Okay, these mallets are bagged separately, go back and mark them and process them separately."
It is not only necessary to test the yield of ginseng, but also to test the shipment rate of the goods, so as to determine the true effect of top dressing.
Xu Shiyan must speak well, Zhao Jianshe said according to Xu Shiyan, these fifty zhang mallets came out, they were all packed separately, and the sack was marked with a pen.
By the end of the afternoon, the fifty-foot mallet was filled with eleven sacks.
When I went up the mountain in the morning, I brought a large scale.
So a few stick boys came over and found a wooden pole to put into the ring of the rod scale, and the scale hook hooked the sack.
The young men on both sides lifted the wooden pole, and the sack was off the ground, and someone at the other end was fiddling with the large weighing stone until the weighing rod raised its head slightly, and then reported the number.
"Ninety-eight pounds."
The sacks in these years are small, the weight of beans and whatevers is heavy, and most of the mallets are around 100 catties.
The eleven sacks were all weighed, and then the weight of the sacks was removed, and finally it was calculated that there were more than 1,000 catties of water ginseng in 50 zhang.
A sack is deducted from two catties of soil, that is to say, an average of more than 20 catties per zhang.
And on the side that has not topdressed, the best is a sixteen-pound mallet.
In this comparison, after top dressing, the average yield per zhang of mallet increased by about four catties, reaching 25 percent.
This data is already very powerful, if these three thousand zhang are chased for fertilizer this year, then the output is still good?
Everyone was very happy, and the experiment proved that Xu Shiyan's method of fermenting and topdressing soybean cake was feasible and could effectively increase the yield.
This is definitely good news and something to celebrate.
The crowd rejoiced and loaded the cart with the mallet, and drove the wagon down the hill and back.
As soon as he arrived at the processing plant, before he could unload the truck, Yu Shouguang hurriedly came over to ask about the situation of the mallet.
Autumn was too busy, Yu Shouguang had to sit in the team, arrange various affairs, and had no time to go up the mountain.
Without waiting for Xu Shiyan to speak, the people who followed him talked about the output of the mallet.
Especially the fifty zhang of top dressing, the yield has reached a new height.
When Yu Shouguang and the others heard this, they almost jumped up with joy, and the 25% increase in production was unimaginable.
"Xiao Xu, you have made a great contribution, plant the mallet this autumn, remember to apply all the bottom fertilizer."
Yu Shouguang was excited and incoherent, as the secretary of the second brigade, he knew best what the increase in production represented.
"Uncle Yu, the processing plant also has to make goods separately, and we have to test the shipment of mallets after top dressing."
Xu Shiyan looked at Yu Shouguang's happy energy and didn't want to disturb, but there were some things that had to be explained.
"Okay, okay, I'll take care of this, don't worry."
Yu Shouguang immediately found the person in charge of the processing plant and told them to process separately.
The processing plant got Yu Shouguang's orders and knew the importance of the matter.
Therefore, a separate manpower was arranged to be responsible for the processing of these mallets, and a separate area was set aside to dry the goods, and even the forks for placing the goods were marked.
"Secretary, don't worry, these goods will definitely not be mixed, I promise you, if something goes wrong, you will take me down."
