Alpine Orchard

Chapter 177
The orchards of Ye Mo's parents, second uncle, third uncle, and Tang Xun's family's orchards have all installed water towers.

The water tower is a plastic water tank that can hold 20 tons of water.

On the production team's side, half of the orchards have installed water towers, mainly for water and fertilizer.

Ye Mo went back to take a shower, and drove to the production team.

Everyone is helping to carry fertilizers, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace element water-soluble fertilizers... This time the fertilization should not be too much, the main purpose is watering.

Irrigate before flowering, and make water and fertilizer by the way...

51 acres of mangoes, a total of 5 bags of fertilizer were used, which is 400 catties.

In winter, the orchard is less irrigated.The most important thing is to irrigate before flowering and after.

Team 11 has a relatively high altitude, and the current maximum temperature has not yet reached [-] degrees Celsius, and the temperature at night is even lower.

As long as the temperature is right, watering in advance can wake up the vitality of fruit trees.

The earlier you water, the earlier the flowering time will be.

But the mangoes in their place do not pursue early ripening, but instead want to suppress the flowering period.That means delaying the flowering time...and thus the late ripening.

It's already March, March [-]th.

The temperature rises rapidly.

There was a light rain last month and it has been dry since then.The sun is big, and the soil moisture evaporates quickly...

Some of the bosses in the village started watering in early March.

"Is it too early to make water and fertilizer for the pomegranates over there?" Tang Xun asked.

"It's too early for the pomegranate to bloom," Ye Zhi said.

"It should be the end of the month, or the beginning of April." Tang Xun said.

"Isn't there a technician? What did the technician say?"

"Now it's in the budding stage, water frequently, a small amount and many times." Tang Xun said: "Recently, I turn on drip irrigation every night when I go back, one round every three days. The technician said that after NO.20, start to water and fertilize."

"Just listen to the technician. None of us have ever planted pomegranates," Ye Mo said.

"Yeah." Ye Zhi also nodded.

The climate of each place is different, and the flowering time of fruit trees is also different.

Pomegranates in some places can only bloom in May and June.

The heat here is fast, and the flowering time is early...

Like mango trees, there are also mango trees in Gaoshanping, which have just bloomed.

There are not many mango trees in Gaoshanping, and Ye Mo didn't take care of them.The mango tree in Ms. Xiaomian's house blooms earlier, and it is now in full bloom.

The 11th team and the mountain have an altitude difference of more than 200 meters.The orchards that were watered in advance also started to bloom.

Pour the fertilizer into the drum water tower, and Ye Mo climbs up to be stirred by a machine to speed up the hydrolysis of the fertilizer.

Ye Mo's mother turned off the external water in the past, and Ye Mo turned on the switch of the water tower...

51 acres, one master switch, water-soluble fertilizer enters the orchard along with the pipeline, and is watered next to the fruit trees.

Just a 20-ton water tower is far from enough to irrigate a 51-acre orchard.After the drip irrigation of the water-soluble fertilizer in the water tower is finished, the irrigation water must be turned on.

In this drip irrigation, the soil around the fruit tree should be soaked.

Followed to the second uncle's house, carrying fertilizer...

"Dad, did they really go fishing?" Ye Mo asked.

"That's right." Ye Zhi complained, "What's so fun about fishing? It's better than playing cards?"

"Don't tell me, fishing is indeed better than playing cards," Tang Xun said.

"The water level in the reservoir has dropped drastically. Now that the temperature has risen, the fish inside should be easy to catch... Let's try it some other day," Chen Chen said.

"Hurry up and move the fertilizer." Ye Mo said: "When you are free, at least it will be April."

There are three water towers on the second uncle's side...

There are also three water towers on Chen Chen's side.

Each water tower contains hundreds of catties of fertilizer...

After transporting, the drip irrigation was turned on, and the sky became dark.

Ye Mo also said to go to the reservoir to see, Dad and the others have already returned.

"Air Force again?" Tang Xun asked.

"Basically." Tang Ming said, "Have you finished it yet?"

"It's done."

"Go and eat."

In the evening, they still ate at Ye Mo's side.

Ye Mo went to pick up Miss Xiao Mian.As for Uncle Xiao Mian, he went fishing with him in the afternoon.

There is green pepper fried meat, cooked some bacon, sausage, and green vegetables.

Lin Xiaomian and the others played mahjong at home in the afternoon and helped with the cooking.

"Are you air force again today?" Wang Yue looked at her father and asked.

"What is it? I haven't caught any fish for two days." Wang Hao gave her a blank look.It's just that I didn't catch any fish, and I asked again and again... I was very annoyed.

"I guess it should be because of the water temperature in the reservoir. Now the temperature has risen, but the water in the reservoir is still very cold." Niu Youde said: "It is estimated that the fish in the reservoir will be good to catch in April."

"You've only been fishing for two days, and you're already a fishing expert." Yun Xiuzhi looked at her husband and said with a smile.

"Analyze it."

Although, Ye Mo's father also analyzed why the air force was in the air force for two consecutive days...

All the vines of watermelon and muskmelon have been pruned.

the next day.

Ye Mo turned on the sprayer and sprayed the foliar fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium.

Fill 300 liters of solution at a time, and when the machine starts, there will be a 'smog'.

Tang Xun was riding a small tricycle.Chen Chen helped push it, and Ye Mo held the spray gun...

Ye Mo's parents brought a hoe and dug a shallow ditch beside the film.This shallow ditch is an irrigation ditch, which is watered with water-soluble fertilizer and irrigated after fruit setting...

In four days, the foliar fertilizer was sprayed again.

Some of the flowers on the watermelon vine have fallen off.

After that, we have to start picking buds again. When the watermelon is as big as an egg, we start picking melons.

Small watermelon, one main vine, two secondary vines.

Three main vines and two secondary vines...

Pick melons and pinch off new shoots by the way.Then start fertilizing...

Add organic fertilizer.The organic fertilizer is mainly cake fertilizer and granular organic fertilizer, and urea is added.It looks like 30 grams per plant...

A shallow ditch has been dug before, fertilizer is applied, and watering follows.

When the watermelon is in fruit setting, it is best not to water it, and wait for the watermelon to sit firmly before watering.

The melon fields are huge, and the work is done in batches.

After watering, the watermelon expands rapidly.During the period, when the small watermelon is as big as a goose egg, choose the melon again.

It is inevitable that crooked melons will appear during the growth of watermelons, so remove crooked melons and weak watermelons.Keep two main vines and one auxiliary vine...

As for the big watermelon variety, it is Xinong No. [-].This kind of watermelon can easily grow to more than ten catties each.

Ye Mo kept two vines, and after picking melons twice, there were two melons on one vine.

A multi-melon plant is very risky.The safest thing is to sit tight.That is, one vine and one melon...

A multi-melon plant is not a multi-melon vine.

Ye Mo is now one vine and two melons, in the eyes of a knowledgeable person, this is a joke.

The big watermelon that Ye Mo accidentally planted last year consisted of one vine and two melons, but the size... was basically about twenty catties each.In addition, a plant with three melons, three vines, and a watermelon on each vine... the minimum is more than 30 catties.

According to last year's experience, the watermelons grown from Lingquan have the same taste and texture, that is, the difference in size.

Watermelon, a total of 130 acres.

Pursuing high profits requires taking high risks.Including the super-large watermelon in the greenhouse, they are all high-risk...

An ordinary watermelon field uses less than a thousand liters of spiritual spring.

However, the planting area is too large, and it is distributed to each melon vine. This amount... can be described as scarce.

Whether this little spiritual spring can support Ye Mo's ambition is not known for the time being.

For the sake of conservatism, under the persuasion of people around me, there are 30 acres of vines and melons.Those [-] acres of watermelons are all black beauties...

Even if there is a problem later, the whole army will not be wiped out, at least the wages can be paid.
