Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 59 Six Suggestions, Every Word is a Pearl

However, Wenfu's family came to express their gratitude again and again, which made Fang Wei feel embarrassed.

After the commune learned about this incident, they held a commendation meeting and issued Fang Wei a certificate of merit to commend his courageous act.

Fang Wei came back from the commune, threw the certificate on the table, then picked up the teacup and drank a bellyful of cold water.

When Tian Guihua saw the other party throwing the certificate around, she felt very distressed.

She quickly picked up the certificate, stuck it on the wall, and then went to cook.

For Fang Wei, saving people was just a casual act and not a big deal, so he quickly forgot about it.

For the next period of time, Fang Wei mainly observed the situation of pests and diseases in the experimental fields and open fields.

Pests and diseases have always been a major threat to agricultural production, especially in the era when pesticides were not widely used, this threat was often terrifying.

morning.

Zheng Xianfa and Fang Wei walked on the ridge of the field and carefully checked the growth status of the rice.

"Little Scholar, I haven't been able to sleep well these days because I'm worried about pests and diseases. Fortunately, everything seems to be normal at the moment. Do you have any suggestions for preventing and controlling pests and diseases?"

The local farming methods are not advanced and mainly rely on the experience passed down from generation to generation.

Fang Wei had previously suggested drying the fields before the end of the tillering period, and the team adopted this suggestion.

Through practice, this method is very beneficial for preventing and controlling pests and diseases, increasing production and income.

In addition, Zheng Xianfa always thought that Wu Maosheng was behind Fang Wei, so he humbly asked for advice.

"There are ways to prevent and control pests and diseases. Let's analyze them one by one."

Fang Wei spoke his mind and made several suggestions to Zheng Xianfa.

First of all, the disinfection of farmyard manure and the disinfection when turning the soil must be in place. There is no need to buy any special medicines, just use lime powder.

The second method is to use plants to prevent insects. Vetiver and Sudan grass can be planted around ditches and fields to attract and kill rice borers.

The third is to dry the fields, which can increase production and income on the one hand, and inhibit the reproduction of pests on the other.

Fourth, protect the frogs in the rice paddies and do not allow members to catch them. Frogs can eliminate pests in the rice paddies and are their natural enemies.

Fifth, promote the "duck-field symbiosis" method that combines planting and breeding.

Raising an appropriate number of ducks in rice fields can not only eliminate pests, but also ensure ventilation and sunlight for the rice fields, and increase the fertility of the rice fields.

The sixth and most critical point is to choose high-quality seeds that are resistant to diseases and pests.

When Fang Weiyi finished speaking one by one, Zheng Xianfa's eyes widened.

It was the first time he had heard such a complete "pest and disease prevention" plan, and he suddenly felt like a light bulb went off.

"Is Wu Maosheng really that good? No, that's not true. Last year I asked him about pest control methods, but his explanations were far less comprehensive than this.

So the question is, where does the young scholar get his knowledge from?"

Using "junior high school student" as an excuse obviously won't fool Zheng Xianfa. After all, a junior high school student can't be better than Professor Wu, right?
Zheng Xianfa pondered in his heart, could there really be such smart people in this world? They can draw inferences from one example and surpass their teachers.

However, he had no intention of asking too many questions, because he also considered that Wu Maosheng might be hiding his incompetence in front of him and was just being perfunctory.

No matter what, whoever can feed the members will be worshipped as a god.

"Xiao Xiucai, I've decided that our sideline group will raise more ducks in the future. Of course, this has a prerequisite, which is that our grain production can be significantly increased."

Zheng Xianfa is willing to accept new things, and he thinks "duck-field symbiosis" is a good idea.

I also want to make it clear to everyone that in order to ensure food production, catching frogs is no longer allowed.

The two tasks of using lime powder for disinfection and drying the fields are already being carried out. In addition, things like planting herbal plants to attract and kill pests can be tried next year.

As for the good seeds, what Fang Wei provides are just good seeds.

Of the 6 suggestions, 5 have been implemented or are about to be implemented. Zheng Xianfa suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Fang Wei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After observing for so many days, he found that the Nanguang No. 1 was very resistant to diseases and insect pests. With some auxiliary measures, there was no need to worry about diseases and insect pests.

"Captain, let's go back."

Having seen everything he should see and made all the suggestions he should make, Fang Wei was ready to leave.

Zheng Xianfa nodded and walked back with the other party.

At this time, Fang Tao ran over from a distance and shouted, "Manman, there are guests at home, and they are looking for you."

Fang Wei quickly said hello to Zheng Xianfa and rushed home with his nephew.

"Who is looking for me? Do you know me?"

"She's my aunt from the Yao village."

Fang Weiyi knew it was Pan Lianhua when she heard her name, but she felt that the name "Auntie" was a bit strange.

Of course, Taotao couldn’t be blamed. It was Tian Guihua who insisted that he and his sister call each other that.

"Sister, why do you have time to come to see me today?"

When he walked into the house, Fang Wei saw his sister-in-law talking to Pan Lianhua.

The eldest brother had not returned from work yet, so the eldest sister-in-law hurried to cook when she saw the younger brother.

Fang Wei took off his hat and said with a smile.

"I'm here to bring you some pork. The village has slaughtered a pig, so I'll give you some."

Previously, Pan Lianhua borrowed 500 kilograms of sweet potatoes from Fang Wei, so today he sent 30 kilograms of pork to repay the debt.

In fact, Fang Wei didn't take it to heart at all, but the other party was very trustworthy.

"Thanks, sister!"

Fang Wei did not refuse. He and Pan Lianhua had many transactions before, but there was also a favor involved.

Therefore, not everything should be done according to the principle of equal exchange. If it is pushed back and forth, it will be bad.

"Brother Fang, can you take me to see the rice fields? People say that your Nanguang No. 1 is amazing, I want to see it with my own eyes."

Pan Lianhua was thinking about the new rice seeds that Fang Wei had developed, so she wanted him to take her to visit.

Fang Wei had no objection, so the two of them went to the experimental field first.

"These five mu of land are planted with Nongken 5, and the remaining 58 mu are planted with Nanguang No. 15. This year's late rice crop is all planted with Nanguang No. . I'll take you to see it later."

"The rice in the experimental field is growing really well. What's the yield per mu?"

"It's meaningless to know the per-acre yield of the experimental field. The high yield of the experimental field is the result of resources and strict management. The data of the main field is the real reference value."

Fang Weiyi took Pan Lianhua on a tour and gave an explanation.

He also patiently answered the questions raised by the other party.

Then, the two of them went for a walk around Daejeon and returned home just in time for dinner.

After dinner, Pan Lianhua stood up to say goodbye, and Fang Wei sent her to the village entrance.

"Brother Fang, I will definitely convince Grandpa and the others to buy rice seeds. Please save some Nanguang No. 1 seeds for me."

Through the on-site visit, Pan Lianhua saw the value of [Nanguang No. 1].

If the village can introduce seeds and plant [Nan Guang No. 1] on a large scale, she has reason to believe that grain production will increase significantly.

So, she informed Fang Wei in advance, so that she wouldn't be unable to buy the seeds when the time comes, which would be a joke.

"Don't worry, I will remember it."

Fang Wei smiled and agreed to the other party, and Pan Lianhua turned around and left.
