Chapter 942: Fertilization

I saw that most of the wasteland in front of me had been reclaimed, and the neat ridges of the fields were standing, and there was no end in sight.

The next day, Wu Ping looked around and saw that after a day's hard work yesterday, a large piece of land had been reclaimed and sorted out in an orderly manner.

Although everyone was sweating and exhausted yesterday, now seeing the results in front of them is full of satisfaction and pride.

"Well done!" Wu Ping stroked his palms and laughed, "With such an experimental field, there is a solid foundation for the cultivation of hybrid rice! Your hard work will surely bring you the joy of a good harvest!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but lift their spirits, and the feeling of exhaustion suddenly disappeared.

They are imagining the bright future of hybrid rice growing in this land.

"Lord Wu, although the land has been cultivated, if you want to get a high yield, you still need to carefully fertilize." Zhang Delu said with a hoe: "I have seen many farmers who only care about clearing up wasteland and cultivating fields, but they neglect to manage them, and in the end the harvest is not good, and they complain. We can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past."

When Wu Ping heard this, he nodded approvingly and said, "Elder Zhang is extremely right! Land is the foundation of hybrid rice, and fertilization is the key. If we want to revitalize this wasteland, we must carry out scientific fertilization in a planned and step-by-step manner."

"Scientific fertilization?" Li Yang asked curiously, "But I heard that crop people fertilize based on feeling and experience, and I have never heard of anything scientific or unscientific."

Wu Ping smiled slightly, stroked his palm and explained: "The so-called scientific fertilization is to reasonably match various fertilizers according to the nature of the soil and the needs of crops, so as to achieve precise fertilization according to local conditions. For example, in our newly cultivated wasteland, we must first apply basal fertilizer to improve the soil structure."

As he spoke, Wu Ping instructed the agricultural students to start preparations for fertilization.

I saw that according to Wu Ping's instructions, they transported the compost, farmhouse fertilizer and other organic fertilizers that had been prepared to the fields, and then spread them on the land, and then ploughed them with hoes to fully mix them with the soil.

"This organic fertilizer is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and is most suitable for improving poor soils." Wu Ping explained, "When the seedlings are transplanted, nitrogen fertilizer is applied to promote the growth of seedlings. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers were applied at booting stage to improve disease resistance and quality. Proper fertilizer control during the maturity period to promote the fullness of the grains...... In this way, this wasteland will be able to grow endlessly, and harvest it will be abundant every year!"

After listening to Wu Ping's words, everyone admired them so much.

They secretly sighed that Wu Ping not only had the grand ambition of governing the country and helping the world, but also implemented the scientific planting concept into practice.

Under his leadership, hybrid rice has taken root and sprouted in this land, and it is just around the corner!

Although the process of fertilization was hard, everyone worked in full swing without complaints.

Li Yang ploughed the land with sweat and rain, and at the same time secretly thought, "The scientific fertilization that Master Wu said seems to be ordinary, but it is very knowledgeable. This nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are not applied properly, and they are afraid that it will backfire. It seems that planting hybrid rice well requires not only hard work, but also scientific planting techniques!"

Qian Wenbin on the side was a little distracted, he mechanically turned the soil, and at the same time thought in his heart: "Hybrid water crops pay so much attention to fertilization, if it is popularized, the demand for fertilizer will inevitably increase greatly. When the time comes, you might be able to make a profit selling fertilizer!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a sly smile on his face.

Zhang Delu smiled and instructed the young man to fertilize, and at the same time said with emotion in his heart: "I have planted the land all my life, and it is the first time I have seen such a scientific fertilization method. Thinking of my past, I always scratch my beard and eyebrows, no wonder the harvest is always unsatisfactory. This Lord Wu is really a timely rain for the farmers! With him in charge of the Faculty of Agriculture, the good days of our farm are yet to come!"

In this way, everyone spent another fulfilling day of work in laughter.

When the sun sets and a red sun slowly sinks to the horizon, the fertilization work in the experimental fields also comes to an end.

Looking at the rejuvenated land under his feet, Wu Ping's face showed a smile of relief.

He knows that the cultivation of hybrid water crops has taken a critical step

One-step.

Next, there are many links such as seedling cultivation and pest control, each step is crucial, and there is no room for sloppiness.

But with this team of all people, with scientific guidance and inexhaustible motivation, Wu Ping firmly believes that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, the Department of Agriculture can overcome them one by one, so that hybrid rice can blossom and bear fruit on this hot land, and write a strong stroke for the agricultural revolution of the Ming Dynasty!

"Everyone, rest for the night, and continue to fight tomorrow!" Wu Ping looked at everyone and said loudly, "Cultivating high-yield and high-quality hybrid rice for the well-being of the people and increasing the strength of the country is our great mission!" I hope that you will not forget your original intention, make persistent efforts, and write a new chapter in the agricultural revolution of the Ming Dynasty with a pen like a rafter!"

"Vow to work with Lord Wu to bring hybrid rice to the benefit of all people!" Everyone echoed in unison, their voices loud and firm.

The night is getting darker, and the stars are twinkling in the sky.

This carefully fertilized land seems to be pregnant with infinite hope and vitality.

Everyone is full of longing, looking forward to every seed sown by hybrid rice can break through the soil on this fertile soil, grow into a towering sea of rice, and hold up the dream of Daming agriculture to take off!

In the early morning of the third day, when the first rays of morning light sprinkled on the earth, Wu Ping had already led everyone to the experimental field again.

Looking at the land that had been carefully fertilized yesterday, Wu Ping showed a relieved smile on his face.

But he knows that for this wasteland to truly come to life, it will not be enough to rely on superficial fertilization.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our task today is to plough the soil." Wu Ping looked around at everyone and said in a firm tone, "The fertility of the newly cultivated soil is insufficient, and its structure needs to be improved through deep ploughing, so that nutrients can penetrate deeper into the soil. Only in this way can we provide a solid foundation for the growth of hybrid rice!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Li Yang asked suspiciously, "Lord Wu, haven't we already applied fertilizer?" Do you still need to dig deeper?"

Wu Ping smiled and patiently explained, "Fertilization is important, but it can only improve the topsoil. It is important to know that the root system of crops can penetrate tens of centimeters deep into the ground and absorb nutrients deeper into the ground. If only the surface is fertile and the deep layer is still barren, the growth of the plant will be restricted."

As he spoke, Wu Ping picked up a shovel and gestured on the ground: "The so-called deep ploughing is to loosen the soil to a depth of thirty or forty centimeters, so that the compact core soil can be loosened and the fertility can seep down.
