Mountainous area planting
Mountains can also be planted in the pool lotus root? A dream that everyone thought was impossible was finally realized at our planting base in Yangpigou, Caiyuan Township, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, where this sacred "miracle of planting" was witnessed by representatives of the local agricultural department and the Shandong headquarters, as well as the local people.
Under the guidance of the headquarters of the base of 36 acres of lotus root pool through a year of experimentation shows that: each mu of hilly land can produce 9,000-11,000 pounds of lotus root, according to the usual minimum price of 1.5 yuan per catty calculated per mu can earn 13,500-16,500 yuan, is the traditional cultivation of food crops 8-10 times, not only the benefits are good, but also the benefits are very good, and the local agricultural department and representatives of Shandong and local people witnessed this sacred "planting miracle".
The production of lotus root is not only beneficial, but also labor-saving, labor-saving, easy to manage, and the free time can also open up the deep-processing market and increase income.
How to build for the lotus root pool, cultivation technology focuses on the following two points: First, the lotus root pool should be selected in the sunny, no tree-shaded hilltop open space or village wasteland, barren homes, waste ponds and saline, flooded land, etc.. Lotus root pool area is generally 200-300 square meters, that is, 2-3 per acre, pool body 60cm, pool wall slope 60 degrees or straight wall. Lime will be sprinkled into the bottom of the pool, with a rotary plow spinning 2-3 times, 20cm deep, soil and grey mixed evenly, the bottom of the pool with mechanical leveling and compaction, with 3:7 gray soil will be compacted and tamped pool walls. After paving the bottom and smashing the state, the bottom and walls of the pool will be paved with film, and after paving the film, the 2-3cm thick concrete will be smoothed, and the prepared slanting plate will be set up on the wall of the pool, and the seams will be wiped out with cement, and the standing wall of the lotus root pool, and the wall can be sealed and smoothed out with cement. The cost per mu is about 4000-5000 yuan. Second, the lotus root pool selection of organic matter-rich clay loam. Before planting lotus root, wheat straw, corn stalks or weeds into the pool, the thickness of 30-40cm. three: the bottom of the lotus root pool seepage control can choose HDPE geomembrane, is conducive to water conservation, increase production.
Shallow water lotus root planting, the average mu yield 2500 kg to 4000 kg.
