The wasteland between coconut palm grass becomes "treasure bowl"

In a year, a piece of 75-acre sloping land was planted with coconut trees, and the sweet potatoes and pastures that grew between them grew up. A piece of wasteland "magic" has become a good field. On August 19th, Hainan Daily reporter witnessed the “magic power” of ecological recycling agriculture in an interview with the Longhu villager group in Jindong Village, Gongpo Town, Wenchang City.

Just after the typhoon, Han Yingxuan, director of the Farmers' Professional Cooperative of Gongpo Agricultural Association, Wenchang City, rushed to the ground to “replenish the seedlings”. This land is the “Wen Coconut New Variety Demonstration and Technology Support Base” of the Coconut Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences and the cooperative.

"These seedlings are king grass seedlings for the black goats we feed, and we can harvest them for more than a month." Han Yingxuan pointed to the short coconut about 1 meter high. The short coconut was planted since November last year, coconut seedlings and Wang Cao Miao is provided by the Coconut Research Institute and managed by the cooperative.

The short coconut in Han Yingxuan’s mouth is the “Wen Coconut No. 2” and “Wen Coconut No. 3” newly developed by the Coconut Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences.

“Compared with the high coconut varieties in Hainan, the annual output of these two kinds of short coconuts can reach 180/strain, and the fruiting time is shortened from seven or eight to three or four years, and the annual output value is more than 10,000 yuan per mu.” China Tropical Agriculture Fan Haikuo, a researcher at the Institute of Coconut Research at the Academy of Sciences, said that there are many thin land slopes in Wenchang, and the economic benefits are not high. The Coconut Research Institute borrowed this “experimental field” and hoped to maximize the benefits of farmland by guiding farmers to grow short coconuts and plant short-term crops such as sweet potatoes and pastures.

Fan Haikuo said that pasture is a short-term crop. The harvest period of short coconut is about three years. Through the combination of length and length, the planting risk of farmers is reduced, and land utilization and income are effectively improved. “It seems that the growth of short coconuts and other intercropping crops is good.”

In fact, in the traditional concept of many local villagers, coconut trees are usually planted in front of the house, and the villagers are puzzled by the short coconuts planted on the slopes.

"This short coconut, I have done market research with the institute earlier, the coconut water is very sweet, and there is a kind of fragrance. The market prospects should be very good after the fruit is placed." Han Yingxuan said that experts provide assistance in management technology, " As long as a phone call, the expert will come to the site to guide."

For Han Yingxuan, this "test field" is a treasure. Originally, he farmed 100 black goats, but because of the difficulty in management of free-range and lack of pasture feeding, it was impossible to form scale farming. After communicating with the experts at the Coconut Institute, he decided to rent 75 acres in the village at a price of 150 yuan / acre.

"I planted 10 acres of sweet potato between the short coconuts last year, plus fertilization of sheep manure, the sweet potato harvest is very good. And harvested sweet potatoes, grass, we then make sheep feed, forming a cycle of breeding." Han Yingxuan said, take the short coconut After the mode of the species, the goat's "canteen" is located more than 800 meters away from the sheepfold, and the sheep are not panicked. This year, Han Yingxuan goat breeding scale has expanded to more than 200.

Han Guang, secretary of the Party branch of Jindong Village, said that the land in Longhu Village is relatively poor, and the villagers go out to work and earn a living. The collective forest land with low economic benefits in the village reaches 1,000 mu. “Planting coconut is a green agriculture, anti-typhoon, and high efficiency. If the 'test field' is successful, it can drive the villagers to copy and promote this model. Even if the land is rented, the thin land wasteland can plant things and rent a good price.”
