economic construction

The tribute "Lotus rice" of Ming and Qing Dynasties was produced here. It has built five bases of "ten thousand mu of high-quality rice, ten thousand mu of fruit, four million bags of edible fungi, one thousand beef cattle and ten thousand sheep" and 11 professional leading villages, with an annual output of 20649 tons of grain, 2978 tons of oil, 3459 tons of fruit, 15000 tons of ginger, 186 tons of silkworm cocoon, 63.8 tons of tea and 313 tons of Lentinus edodes, 554 cattle, 7172 sheep and 620.68 million pigs The potential of industrial value-added.

1、 The construction of high standard garden has laid a solid foundation for high and stable yield. The planting trough is 1 m × 0.8 m and fertilized layer by layer. At the bottom layer, more than 5000 kg of Hawthorn Seeds and weeds are applied per mu, and 200 kg of lime is sprinkled on the top. After a layer of soil is covered, 200 kg of phosphate fertilizer is applied, and then the soil is filled to 20-30 cm above the original ground. The seedlings were planted only after the backfilled soil settled. After planting, the troughs were enlarged year by year, and the whole garden was connected in five winter and spring to prevent waterlogging.

2、 Plan close planting to achieve early high yield. According to the planting density of 2 m x 3 m, in the fourth year, the annual yield of citrus is 5700 Jin, 1425 Jin per mu, and the income per mu is 710 yuan; in the sixth year, the total yield is 12500 Jin, and the income per mu is 1560 yuan; in the future, the total yield is about 30000 Jin. In 2000, because of the shade of orchard, the yield was reduced by 30%, but the quality was improved and the income was not reduced. In the second year after the intercropping, the yield increased by more than 2000 Jin, and the total yield reached 42000 Jin. In the fourth year after the transfer, that is, 2005, the yield reached the highest level, with a yield of 11250 Jin per mu and a net income of 4000 yuan per mu.

3、 Scientific fertilization to improve fruit quality. In order to improve the quality of fruits and produce pollution-free green food, we should persist in using farm manure as base fertilizer and biogas slurry as foliar fertilizer. In order to get more and better organic fertilizer, I built a 10.5 cubic meter biogas digester in 1988 and raised a large number of pigs. Pig manure is fed into biogas digester, biogas is used as fuel for family life, biogas residue is used as base fertilizer for orange, and biogas slurry is used as foliar fertilizer. In this way, not only the cost of fertilizer is saved, but also the yield is high and stable, and the fruits with no pollution and good quality are produced with low investment and high benefit.

4、 To improve the ecological environment of orchard, we should cultivate grass in orchard. In 1993, with the help of technical personnel of Agriculture Bureau, the seeds of Ageratum japonicum were introduced and planted in the orchard. This herb is the host of Amblyseius, the natural enemy of mite pests. It can effectively control the harm of mite pests and reduce the use of drugs to control mite pests 2-3 times a year. At the same time, planting ageratum japonicum in summer can also reduce soil temperature, maintain soil moisture and inhibit the growth of other weeds. It can also be used as base fertilizer in autumn, which not only increases the organic matter of orchard, but also improves the physical and chemical properties of soil.

5、 Study hard and master citrus planting technology. "How to cultivate citrus", "high quality and high yield cultivation method of Citrus" and "Atlas of Citrus Diseases and insect pests" and other technical books. "China citrus" and "South China fruit trees" have mastered the basic theoretical knowledge and practical techniques of citrus cultivation.

6、 To serve citrus production with the mastered technology.

famous scenery

Wuling Gorge

Wuling gorge, 5 kilometers long, is located in Yangping Town, with steep cliffs hanging on both sides, and the sky is like a line. The widest part is only 10 meters, and the narrowest part only allows one person to pass.

Wuling gorge is a gorge with four caves (Yueliang cave, Yangshu cave, Bingma cave and Tiankeng cave). The caves are connected and each has its own scenery. A few feet below the entrance of the gorge, there is a deep pool, which is the exit of an underground river. In the flood season, the water of the underground river gushes out from the Longtan estuary, which is a magnificent scene. In the dry season, the water of the Longtan estuary is as clear as a mirror, and the underground river murmurs. On the cliff of Xiakou, there are four characters "Wuling Xiakou" carved by the ancients, but we can't see which dynasty it was carved. It is not far fetched for the ancients to name this gorge "Wuling gorge". As soon as we enter the gorge, we can feel the artistic conception of Taoyuan Wuling described by Tao Yuanming. The gorge here is high and densely forested, secluded and secluded, with few visitors and unique caves. It's really a paradise.

Wuling gorge is hundreds of meters long, but it has more than ten human landscapes, such as stone carvings, stone buildings and stone stockade. There are mainly more than ten natural landscapes, such as underground river, karst cave, gorge in gorge, pool, rock pit, strange stone, dangerous wall and geological structure. Its landscape density is large, its grade is high, and its scientific connotation is particularly rich, which is rare for the same kind of gorge in the province.
