What's going on in Gansu's new agricultural technology to open up new horizons?

In Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, leading to the Lanzhou New Area of the water Qin Expressway, east can see a green hill, where the growth of oil pine, cypress, red willow and other drought-resistant green plants.

Bald hills planted into the forest, retired military man Hu Hongjun invented under the tree root seepage irrigation technology. Many branches withered, dying oil pine saplings, after his seepage irrigation technology rescue, and live over.

"Before diffuse irrigation, 1 acre of land to use dozens of square water, using this seepage irrigation technology only need to use 1 cubic meters of water, and more labor and cost." Lanzhou New District Wo Wo Jing village villagers Zhao Guichun said.

Hu Hongjun's tree root infiltration irrigation equipment is divided into pipes and devices, pipe water supply, the device seepage, there is a water supply in the roots of the tree, when the tree lacks water water will slowly infiltrate the roots of the tree, effectively maintaining the tree's viability; when it rains, the water will automatically be stored full of water accumulators, rather than seeping directly into the ground to wait for drought to be used again. Hu Hongjun introduced: "Gansu is inland in the northwest, many places have little precipitation, can only develop dryland agriculture. The new technology allows farmers to use less water, save labor and can plant live."

In order to let more people understand the new technology, Hu Hongjun applied for a company, running in Gansu arid water-scarce Minqin, Jingtai, Jingyuan and other places in the countryside, the introduction of root seepage irrigation technology. In Jingtai County, the new technology to help local farmers to plant more than 200 acres of trees, the survival rate of more than 95%; in Minqin County, the edge of the Tengger Desert, farmers with this technology to plant thousands of sand willow.

The drip holes are rarely clogged is another significant advantage of this technology, further saving costs. A few years ago, ningxia zhongning wolfberry industry group planted 3,000 acres of wolfberry forest in the use of drip irrigation technology after a year of clogging, zhongning county to find hu hongjun, the use of seepage irrigation technology in the organic wolfberry export base of the trial planting of 100 acres of wolfberries, the experimental effect is very good.

Lanzhou City, Jingning Chamber of Commerce full-time secretary-general, general manager of Gansu Fulong Science and Trade Company Limited Yang Hongwei attention to this technology for nearly 3 years, "I went to see his planting field from 2015, a few days ago I have also been there, there really is no blockage. This technology of Hu Hongjun looks insignificant, but it really solves the problem."

In 2013, the Ningxia Science and Technology Department of the seepage irrigation report shows that: root seepage irrigation water-saving devices, is buried in the tree roots on the water pipeline, the installation of various types of water-saving technology, irrigation devices, water savings of 30% than drip irrigation, but the cost of materials than the drip irrigation technology to save 70% to 80%, and the utility of a stronger and wider, to achieve intelligent, remote control.

Lintao County, Gansu Province, the barren slopes of mountainous terrain alkaline, water shortage, agricultural development difficulties, less income, this phenomenon is more common in the northwest. in April 2017, Lintao County Welling Industrial Park in the barren land using root seepage irrigation technology planted apricot, jujube, walnut trees and other more than a dozen kinds of cash crops, the survival rate of 90%, but also in the economy of the forest under the set of alfalfa and lawn, every mu of green fodder production of 2 tons Above, with green fodder to raise chickens and sheep, and then chicken fertilizer sheep fertilizer back to the field, to achieve the ecological organic cycle.

New agricultural technology gradually opened up a new world. Jingning County is a large agricultural county, but also a water-scarce county, the agricultural water-saving technology is very concerned. With the support of the local government and cooperatives, the county has now reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Hu Hongjun's team on a water-saving pilot in the county's northern slice of the apple science and technology demonstration site.

"Jingning's apple forest has more than 1 million mu, 1 acre of land diffuse irrigation a year the comprehensive cost of about 1600 yuan. If the use of water-fertilizer integration seepage irrigation technology, 1 acre of land can save at least 300 yuan, coupled with remote control, the cost is cheaper, is expected to 10-15 years of use can save at least 3 billion or so for local agriculture." Hu Hongjun said.

"This technology also solves a real problem: the rural labor force is decreasing and aging, and labor shortages have emerged. This technology is well integrated with water and fertilizer integration, precise fertilizer application, precise watering, coupled with remote automated control, not only save water, but also save manpower." Yang Hongwei said.

Time is developing, science is progressing. Now the report farming is not the kind of previous harvesting mode by the sky. As long as we are willing to work hard, as long as we have the idea of agriculture into a new world.
