Chapter 379 (2/2)
However, there are not many things that can be done in the village. Apart from the farmland in front of us, what can we do?
Fang Tian walks to say hello to him. Lao Huang is a little listless. Fang Tian Xing asks, ”what's the matter? Have you ever thought of a way to earn money to support your life?”
”I've thought of several ways, but now I don't have anything on hand. I can't do anything at all, let alone get rid of poverty and become rich,” he said
”If I don't have any money, I can invest it for you. The line I invested in can be regarded as a loan to you. You only need to pay me back at that time. But I want to hear your plan first. ” Fang Tianxing said frankly.
Lao Huang took a cigarette and said quickly, ”this land has been abandoned for many years, and the pesticide residues have been degraded. I plan to open a piece of land here to grow rice, but the income is not high, and I can't earn a few money all year round.
Seeing that there are many loach burrowing in the canal beside the rice field, Fang Tianxing suddenly thought of the rice duck co breeding technology. Rice duck breeding technology is a high quality and efficient agricultural technology. This technology has the advantages of reducing the production cost of rice planting and duck raising, improving the quality of rice and duck products, and reducing the environmental pollution caused by the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Rice duck co breeding in paddy field for rice weeding, pest control, muddy water, fertilization, speed up the growth of rice, paddy field for ducks to provide grazing places and food bait, the two are interdependent, complement each other.
Fang Tianxing told Lao Huang about this. Lao Huang clapped his hands and laughed: ”it's so good. What should we pay attention to? ”
One of the factors that should be considered in the selection of duck breeds for rice duck breeding is that the duck is small, suitable for crossing in the rice field seedling row, and quick in action, with good effects of insect control, weeding and muddy water. At the same time, the duck is required to have strong water tolerance and be able to move in the rice field for a long time.
Ducks will eat the weeds and pests in the rice field. At the same time, the movement of ducks will speed up the growth of rice and increase the oxygen content in the water. Duck manure can also be used as fertilizer. The rice field also provides sufficient water and food for ducks and places for daily activities.
Duck is a kind of waterfowl. During the rice foraging activities, the water layer on the field surface should be shallow, so that duck feet can step on the water layer of the topsoil, which is conducive to muddy the field water by duck feet stepping on the mud, playing the role of shallow tillage and loosening the soil, and promoting the growth and development of rice.
In addition, the need for drying rice fields can be solved by putting the rice fields in pieces. That is to say, in a piece of rice field, half of the rice fields should keep the water layer to drive the ducks in, and the other half should drain the water until the requirements are met. Or the ducks can be driven to the river or pond by the field for three or four days. In order not to affect the growth of ducks foraging among rice, it is best to apply enough fertilizer at one time before transplanting rice, mainly with decomposed long-term organic fertilizer, and top dressing with duck excrement and duckweed rotting returning to field.
The high end of the shed is facing the ridge or roadside to manage and observe the ducks. The roof of the shed is covered with straw for heat insulation, and the shed is surrounded by small aperture nylon net to prevent ducks from escaping and natural enemies from entering the duck shed.
The eggs are usually hatched at the same time as the rice seedlings are raised, so that the green ducks can enter the field in time after the seedlings are transplanted. The age of duck and seedling can be the same, or the age of duck is slightly greater than the age of seedling. Generally, the age of seedling should not be greater than the age of duck, otherwise the seedling is high and the duck is small, and the effect of weeding is not ideal. ” Fang Tianxing explained the main points and difficulties to Lao Huang.
After hearing this, Huang asked several questions and Fang Tianxing answered them one by one. After understanding the specific process, Huang decided to take action immediately.
