Mechanized Sowing Of Garlic Leads To A Happy Life
On October 12, a garlic planter is working in the field of Yuhuangmiao Village, Wulihe Town, Qixian. In front of the planter, one person is controlling the direction; on the planter, another person is loading the empty slot. With the clattering sound, cloves of garlic were planted into the soil in line between the walks of the planter, a beautiful picture of autumn seeding came into sight.
Farmers add garlic seeds.
The garlic planter is working in the field.
"Look how well this garlic planter plants garlic. The bottom is down, the tip is up, and the soil is tight. There must be a good harvest next year." Farmer Yang Tao carefully removed the soil where garlic seeds were buried, and when he saw the garlic seeds lying in the soil, unable to contain his joy and saying.
"In the past, the labor cost of planting garlic per mu was about 300 yuan, but now it costs only 160 yuan to plant garlic per mu with a machine. This year, I planted 9 mu of garlic, and the garlic planter can plant seven or eight mu in a day, saving time and labor. It is really a good helper for farmers." Yang Tao said with a smile.
Zhang Zhenzhou, the person in charge of Tianfeng agricultural machinery in Qixian, told the reporter that this type of garlic seeder is a new generation of improved agricultural machinery introduced, and the vertical bud rate is 90% min. After agricultural production is mechanized, more than 150 yuan can be saved by planting one mu of land with garlic seeder, and more than 600 yuan can be saved by harvesting one mu of land with garlic harvester. Mechanical planting can not only save costs, but also produce more than 200 kilograms per mu than manual planting. The soil after mechanical planting is solid, and garlic seedlings grow vigorously. During garlic field management, farmers cover the mulch with sacks. Once pulled, garlic seedlings can penetrate the mulch, saving time and effort.
"I don’t have to look for customers. They come to me to plant garlic. The sowing place of the day after tomorrow has been arranged!" Liu Shangeng, a farmer in Liuzhai Village, a suburb township official, who came to help garlic farmers sow garlic with a garlic planter, said that he and Cao Ruizhi bought the planter in September this year and spent more than 14000 yuan. With the efforts of Qixian County Agricultural Machinery Bureau, they also won 3200 yuan of state subsidies for them. They can sow seven or eight mu of land a day, 160 yuan a mu. After removing labor costs, they will get back to their original cost in about 20 days. Liu settled the account and smiled happily. Up to now, this new garlic planter has sold more than 80 sets, playing an important role in garlic planting in Qixian County.
Cao Ruizhi, a villager in Guozhai Village, Gegang Town, Qixian, took more than 10 farmers to plant garlic last year. This year, she and Liu Shangeng bought garlic planters together, and one machine planted all customers' garlic cloves in the field. "I bought the right planter this year. It not only saves manpower, but also improves the sowing efficiency. The garlic sprouts are very good. Mechanization of agricultural production is good, and farmers are living a higher quality life!" Speaking of this garlic planter, Cao Ruizhi kept praising it.
"Qixian is a big garlic planting county, with 700000 mu of garlic planted in the whole county. To solve the problem of difficult and expensive labor in garlic planting, Qixian County has introduced equipment such as garlic seeders and harvesters to open a new path of garlic planting mechanization. It has reduced investment, increased output, and improved the quality and efficiency of sowing. Next, Qixian Agricultural Machinery Bureau will continue to introduce new agricultural machinery equipment, and at the same time, go into the field to deeply promote mechanized seeds to farmers The benefits of planting and the relevant preferential policies of the government contribute to the development of agricultural mechanization in the county and help the rural revitalization. " Liang Yongtao, director of Qixian Agricultural Machinery Bureau, said.
