East China’s Jiangsu province has given a strong impetus to its agricultural production by giving full play to the role of technological innovation, which has boosted agricultural development and increased farmers’ income.
Farmers in Touzao Village, Nanyang Town, Tinghu District of Yancheng city were seen skillfully digging out garlic in the fields.
Compared with planting garlic in open fields, planting garlic in greenhouses shows obvious advantages, such as high planting density, fast growth, vigorous growth, early harvest of garlic seedlings, early marketing of products and high prices, which have increased farmers' income.
Garlic seedlings are planted in vegetable and fruit greenhouses, effectively improving the output and unit price of various products, forming a three-dimensional planting system, expanding product varieties, and increasing the villagers’ income.
In Yangmiao Village, Yugou Town, Huaiyin District of Huai'an City, strawberries are growing vigorously on the ground layer by layer. The strawberries here are planted in a trellis structure without soil, making the strawberries sweet and delicious with the yield higher than the traditional planting mode.
In recent years, the local government has promoted the mode of "new strawberry varieties+drip irrigation water-saving facilities+greenhouse three-dimensional substrate cultivation" to help strawberry planting develop towards industrialization, increasing the output value per mu by 20000 yuan.
With the beginning of laver harvest season, processing enterprises in Lianyungang have entered the peak production season. In the past, local farmers used coal stoves to dry laver, which was time-consuming, laborious, and polluting. Now electric drying is adopted to realize green transformation of laver production, which has also greatly saved production costs.
