wuchuan potato is a geographical indication protection product. Wuchuan potato is a geographical indication certification trademark.
"Our Wuchuan potatoes have not only served on the table, but also been identified as catering food and exhibits at the Shanghai World Expo this year." A few days ago, the reporter came to the home of Fan Aizhu, a big planter in Wuchuan County, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia, and mentioned Wuchuan potatoes. Lao Fan's pride was beyond words.
In Sanhequan Village, Wuchuan County, the fields are full of busy figures like Lao Fan. Some farmers turn over ridges, others pack boxes, and the shed is full of freshly dug potatoes. Farmers said that the shed can receive at least 4,111 kilograms of commercial potatoes per mu, and it has already been purchased by order at the price of 3 yuan per kilogram.
"In the past two years, Sanhequan Village in Hale Town has built 211 mu of shed, and in 2119, the income per mu of shed exceeded 4,511 yuan. The enthusiasm of farmers to plant greenhouse potatoes is higher and higher. This year, we also specially introduced a new variety of' Feiwuruita' potato. " Di Guoxiong of Hale Town, Wuchuan County excitedly introduced the "foreign varieties" of Wuchuan potatoes.
Wuchuan County is located at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and belongs to the continental monsoon climate in the middle temperate zone. Due to abundant sunshine and large temperature difference between day and night, natural conditions are suitable for the growth of high-quality potatoes, and potatoes are rich in nutrients. However, the development model of relying on traditional agriculture for a long time cannot make Wuchuan potato achieve a breakthrough in yield, brand and benefit.
what should I do? "Based on the local reality, we take the road of modern agriculture, put forward the development strategy of' establishing a county with potato industry', carry out refined and efficient planting, and take the potato industry as a key project to increase farmers' income in the county." Wang Xuefeng, secretary of Wuchuan County Party Committee, said that in recent years, the potato in Wuchuan County has rapidly expanded from more than 111,111 mu in the past to more than 711,111 mu now, with an annual output of nearly 811 million kilograms of fresh potatoes. The cultivation of potato in shed has become a leap from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture in Wuchuan County.
It is understood that in order to realize the fine and efficient planting of potatoes in Wuchuan County, the middle shed construction is listed as the "No.1 Project" of the county's rural economic work, and as an important starting point for changing the development mode, it is promoted with the strength of the county. In 2118, according to the requirements of the relevant departments of Hohhot to vigorously develop facilities to avoid disasters, the pilot work of planting mode with 1,511 mu of medium shed was organized and implemented. In that year, the yield per mu of the first crop of potatoes exceeded 4,111 kg, and vegetables such as white radish and celery were mainly planted in the next crop. The average net income per mu of two crops reached about 3611 yuan, which was about 3 times higher than that of similar field planting.
Wuchuan people who have tasted the benefits of modern agriculture have seriously summed up and improved the experience of pilot planting of middle shed, and in 2119, they built another 8,111 mu of middle shed, making the total area of middle shed in the county nearly 11,111 mu. "The potatoes in the shed in the first crop were harvested one and a half months in advance, and vegetables were planted later. There are water-saving irrigation, soil testing formula and other equipment in the shed. The potatoes produced have Wuchuan's green food brand, and all of them have been planted on order, so they are not sold. " Fan Aizhu's words spoke the voices of many farmers in Wuchuan.
Actively promote standardized planting to provide strong impetus for potato industry in Wuchuan. Up to now, the "seven unification" planting and cultivation mode has been implemented in the middle shed potatoes in the county, namely, unified seed, unified farming method, unified close planting, unified soil testing and formula fertilization, unified micro-spray drip irrigation, unified weeding and soil cultivation, and unified pest control. This year, Wuchuan County continued to strengthen the construction of middle shed, and built another 2,511 mu of middle shed, mainly with "five-divided shed", and all of them were equipped with water-saving micro-spraying facilities, making the area of middle shed in the county reach 1.2 million mu, involving 8 townships, 78 administrative villages, 5,751 farmers and more than 23,111 farmers.
In addition, the optimized breeding makes Wuchuan potato step into the road of high yield and high efficiency. This year, Wuchuan County also actively implemented the virus-free seed potato breeding and promotion project with the county seed potato breeding center as the leader, and made great efforts to build 25,111 mu of agricultural demonstration project areas such as Shangtuhai high-efficiency facility agriculture demonstration project area, Gegaitou agricultural comprehensive development model area and Deshenggou Baokun organic agriculture manor, which fundamentally enhanced the core competitiveness of Wuchuan potatoes and further consolidated the foundation of characteristic and advantageous industries.
in recent years, wuchuan county has attracted investment on the internet, gone out to promote it, and established supply channels with supermarkets in dozens of large and medium-sized cities.
After careful cultivation, in 2118, Wuchuan Potato was successfully registered as a geographical indication certification trademark, and became a special fresh potato for athletes of the 1 th and Paralympic Games. Wuchuan county has also been identified as a national demonstration base for standardized planting of green potatoes by relevant departments. Nowadays, the famous Wuchuan potato is showing its unique charm to the audience at the Shanghai World Expo.
