Chapter 229 Planting

"Mr. Wang, should we go to Jiefang City to see if we can find something?" Brother Zhong came to ask Mr. Wang early in the morning.

Before this, he had talked about this with Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang poured a glass of water and drank it slowly.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Jiefang City, there are three reasons why such a thing happened: the first and most fundamental reason is that there is not enough food and too many people to support so many people.

The second reason is the problem of management mechanism. It is indeed a good thing to search for materials and give a certain dividend, which gives everyone greater motivation, but at the same time, corruption is inevitable. They did not pay enough attention to the phenomenon of corruption in the early stage, and it finally broke out in the end.

The third reason is that the personnel composition is too complicated. So many people are not of one mind, which will definitely cause big problems."

Brother Zhong nodded in approval. He also had this feeling. At first, he felt that the more people in their team, the better, because more people represent strong strength.

When facing the zombie tide, his perception of this was particularly obvious.

However, when it came to this drought crisis, especially when it came to food problems, he suddenly realized that having more people was not necessarily a good thing.

In this turbulent environment, with unpredictable weather, there are too many people. It is really difficult to feed so many people.

Moreover, in this end times, people's hearts are difficult to control.

When there are too many people, if there is no absolute power to control them, people are very fickle.

After all, without legal and moral norms, the things done will not be punished by law, and the cost of crime is extremely low.

It is a big problem to manage too many people.

"Let's do this, you go and take a look first. Take seven or eight people to take a look first. The things in Jiefangcheng have happened for so long, and it is estimated that there is nothing there. However, you can still go and take a look. Be careful about everything." Mr. Wang gave a simple reminder.

Brother Zhong nodded and said: "So this time is mainly to go there to scout their situation? Is there any other purpose?"

Mr. Wang said speechlessly: "What do we lack most now?"

"Supplies? Food." Brother Zhong replied.

Mr. Wang said: "Yes, you go there mainly to see if there are any supplies that can be brought back. But the hope is not great, alas, forget it, you should go and see what the situation is."

"Be careful about everything." Mr. Wang said at last.

Brother Zhong nodded, called a few people, and drove two trucks to set off.

They filled up the gas and drove towards Jiefang City.

What they didn't know was that Jiefang City had become a ruin at this time, and the people inside had left.

Let alone the situation in Jiefang City or Heleyuan,

It was mid-August.

Xincheng was carrying out a series of work around the rice fields in full swing.

In mid-August, one point that needs special attention is to prevent the occurrence of pests.

In August, high temperature and high humidity are prone to breed pests and diseases, so preventive work needs to be done in advance to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases from affecting rice yields.

In addition, weeds should be cleared out as soon as possible, and for some weeds remaining in the field, they should be manually weeded 1 to 2 times after the rice ears are in full bloom, which is conducive to ventilation and light transmission in the field, and also conducive to rice growth.

So, during this period, Grandpa led some people in the base to weed in the rice fields. Prevent weeds from invading. And remove some insect eggs that appear in the rice.

Although they still have some pesticides, they will run out.

They have enough manpower now, and there is nothing particularly important to do, so it will take more manpower to do this.

Pesticides have been applied once in early August, so there are fewer insects at this time.

Most of these things are done by adults in the base, but minors have started to learn about planting techniques early.

In their classes, they often emphasize learning and combining it with practical application. Their teacher for this class is a grandfather who has been planting for decades, and Lai Xiyue summarized it and told it to the children.

Grandpa rolled up his trousers in the rice field, pointed to the rice and said: "Look, now is the time to pull out the weeds. Look, these are weeds to be pulled out, and these are rice. Don't confuse them. Pay attention to this place"

Grandpa pointed out some details one by one and showed them to the children.

Back in the classroom, Lai Xiyue also integrated the knowledge his grandfather had said and summarized it to the children: "

The steps of rice planting are actually divided into the following:

1. Land preparation

Before planting rice, land preparation is a necessary step. In the past, animal power and plows were used, mainly buffaloes, to plow the fields, but nowadays machines are mostly used for land preparation.

2. Seedling cultivation

Seedling cultivation is the key to the early growth of rice. Now, specialized seedling centers use seedling boxes to grow rice seedlings. Good rice seedlings are the key to successful rice farming.

When the seedlings grow to about eight centimeters, they can be transplanted. There are two main forms of transplanting: machine and manual. You can choose according to the scale and shape of the land.

3. Weeding and pest control

During the growth of seedlings, weeding and pest control are necessary.

When weeds emerge in the field, they must be cleaned up in time.

4. Fertilization

When the seedlings grow taller and the first rice stem grows out, it is called the tillering period. During this period, fertilizer is often needed to make the rice seedlings grow healthily and promote the fullness and quantity of rice in the future.

5. Irrigation and drainage

Irrigation and drainage are the links that rice relies on more. For dry rice, it is dry land, and the irrigation and drainage process is different, but generally it is necessary to strengthen water irrigation after transplanting, when the young ears are formed, and during the heading and flowering period.

6. Drying and screening

The harvested rice needs to be dried. In the past, it was mostly dried in the front yard of the sanheyuan, and it needed to be turned over from time to time to dry the rice.

Screening is to delete impurities such as shriveled rice, use electric rice sorting machines, windmills or manual shaking to sort rice, and use wind power to automatically select full and heavy rice. "

After saying this, Lai Xiyue continued: "

What conditions are needed to grow rice?

1. Rice is suitable for growing in places with higher temperatures. The higher the temperature, the faster it grows and the higher the yield.

The environmental temperature for rice growth must be higher than 13℃. When the temperature is lower than 13℃, rice will stop growing. All green plants grow and nourish under light conditions, and rice is no exception.

Under light conditions, rice grows normally. When the natural light is 50%, rice grows slowly. When the light intensity drops to 5% of the natural light intensity, rice will stop growing or even die.

2. Rice growth requires sufficient water. When the water supply is insufficient, the physiological function of the plant will decrease.

The tillering period of rice is the peak period of rice water demand, and water shortage is absolutely not allowed.

Rice also needs sufficient nutrients during its growth. Under the premise of conventional rhizosphere fertilization, urea, ammonium sulfate or green manure is applied to foliar fertilization to help rice grow and resist the adverse effects of the external environment.

Of course, when there are no such fertilizers, we can actually use other fertilizers, such as cattle and sheep manure, which can actually play a certain role in fertilization. "

Lai Xiyue was telling everyone about rice planting in class.

In this country, agriculture is the foundation of everything.

In this apocalypse, food is the ultimate support for survival.

Therefore, knowing how to farm and being able to farm are the most practical hard power in the apocalypse.
