My hometown, Huzhi Town, Jinxiang County, Jining City, has passed the approval of the State Ministry of Agriculture and has been awarded the title of "China's White Pear Melon
Hometown".
According to legend, the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai way here, y sleepy and thirsty, after tasting the Huzhi town melon greatly appreciated. Mouth said
"Sweet carry on, crisp carry on, eliminate sleepy thirst carry on, like a pear is not a pear, strange! Wonderful!" From then on, the people said small melon for "Li Bai melon",
After the melon skin is white, the shape of a pear, sweet and crisp as a pear, so it is renamed "white skin pear melon" continued to this day.
This year's winter vacation, I experienced the entire seedling process of white pear melon. Seedling work is largely as follows: first cover the small arched shed, in the shed with a nutrient bowl, the bowl must be fine sieve of fine soil, mixed with fertilizer. Will be soaked in warm water for 8-10 hours, and then placed in the germination machine to maintain 25 ℃ -30 ℃ germination for a day. When the buds grow 3-10mm, the seeds can be planted, and 1-2 seeds are placed in each nutrient bowl. Cover with mulch after planting. Burning stove inside the shed, the shed covered with straw thatch, every morning uncovered to increase the temperature, the night cover insulation. In order to prevent the temperature from being too high, there is also ventilation at noon.
During the nursery period, make a shed in the ground, use wire to bundle bamboo poles and pennies, and tie them solidly. Then choose windless weather, get help from neighbors and relatives, cover the outside of the tied shelves with plastic flow-drip film, and you can wait for the melon seedlings to be transplanted.
Now, almost every family in the village has planted arched white pear melon, so I launched an in-depth investigation while working. From the melon farmers mouth and the village committee, the town leaders there to understand: white pear melon has become my town farmers in recent years the treasure of income. Due to the size of the trellis from 2m to 10m, insulation conditions are different, natural income is different. 2006 the size of the shed average income per acre exceeded 4,500 yuan, small Zhangzhuang village planted 10m trellis per acre income has exceeded 10,000 yuan. Compared with the previous wheat planting income of 600 yuan per mu, several times.
At the same time, the planting area of white pear melon is also increasing. From 200 mu in 2001 has increased to more than 20,000 mu today.
Jining City Quality Supervision Bureau, Jinxiang County Quality Supervision Bureau with Hu set the town government, to increase the development efforts, the formation of the town as the center of 10,000 acres of melon standardized production bases, guiding melon farmers heavy application of farmyard manure, spraying biological micro-fertilizers, eliminate the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, the use of ground film double coverage of the home arched greenhouse new technology. From land tillage, seedling transplantation to production management tracking technical guidance, the full implementation of standard planting.
The town's trellis white pear melon ripe early, high yield, high sugar content, good taste, rich in essential vitamins, amino acids, minerals and trace elements, is a real high-quality pollution-free products. It has been favored by consumers in Shandong and Beijing-Tianjin area for its excellent quality. Products listed in late April every year. Last year there was a white pear melon field head off the phenomenon, around the transportation of vehicles directly to the field, waiting for pear melon ripening. Melon farmers are really happy!

And Huangduijie, Lihai, Liuzhuang and other villages planted garlic field sets of white pear melon. Planted in May each year, has been harvested until August.
