Chapter 228 Planting

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

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

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

After thinking for a while, he said: "In Jiefang City, there are three reasons why things like this happened: First, the most fundamental reason is insufficient food and too many people to support so many people.

The second reason is due to problems with the management mechanism. It is indeed a good thing to search for materials and give certain dividends, so that everyone has 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. Finally broke out.

The third reason is that the personnel composition is too complex. With so many people not working together, it will definitely cause big problems. "

Brother Zhong nodded in approval. He felt the same way. At first, he thought that the more people in their team, the better, because more people represented greater strength.

His realization was especially obvious when facing the zombie wave.

However, during this drought crisis, especially when it came to food issues, 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, and it is really difficult to feed so many people.

Moreover, in these last days, it is difficult to control people's hearts.

When there are many people, without absolute strength to control them, people can easily change.

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

Management is a big problem when there are too many people.

"Let's go and have a look first. Take seven or eight people over there to take a look first. Things in Jiefang City have been happening for so long, so there is probably nothing there. However, you can still go over and have a look. Be careful with everything." Mr. Wang simply warned.

Brother Zhong clicked and asked: "So this time, is it mainly to spy on 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, the main reason you went there was to see if there are any supplies that you can bring back. But there is not much hope. Alas, forget it, you guys should go and see what's going on."

"Pay attention to safety in everything." Mr. Wang finally said.

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

They filled up their tank with gasoline and drove toward Jiefang City.

But what they didn't know was that Jiefang City was in ruins at this time, and everyone inside had left.

Not to mention the situation in Jiefang City or Heyuan,

It was mid-August.

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

In mid-August, special attention should be paid to preventing insect infestations.

In the high temperature and high humidity environment in August, pests and diseases are likely to breed, so preventive measures need to be taken in advance to prevent the emergence of pests and diseases from affecting rice yields.

In addition, weeds must be cleared out as early as possible, and some remaining weeds in the field should be manually weeded 1 to 2 times after the rice is ready. This is conducive to ventilation and light transmission in the field, and is also conducive to the growth of rice. .

Therefore, during this time, grandpa led some people in the base to weed weeds in the rice fields. Prevent weed infestation. And remove some insect eggs that appear in the rice.

Although they still have some pesticides, they will be used up.

They currently have enough manpower to watch, and there is nothing particularly important to do, so it will consume more manpower to do this.

Pesticides had already been sprayed once in early August, so there were relatively few bugs at this time.

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

In their classes, they often emphasize learning and combining it with practical applications. Their teacher in this class is a grandfather who has been farming for decades, and Lai Xiyue summarizes it and then tells it to the children.

Grandpa rolled up his trouser legs in the rice field, then pointed at the rice and said: "You see, now is the time to pull out the weeds. Look, these are the tares that need to be pulled out, and these are the rice. Don't be confused. Pay attention to this place."

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

Back in class, Lai Xiyue also integrated the knowledge her grandfather said and told it to the children: "

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

1. Land preparation

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

2. Seedling cultivation

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

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

3. Weeding and insecticide

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

When weeds appear in the field, they must be cleaned up immediately.

4. Fertilization

When the seedlings grow taller and grow the first section of the rice stem, it is called the tillering stage. Fertilization is often required during this period to allow the rice seedlings to grow robustly and to promote the fullness and quantity of rice in the future.

5. Irrigation and drainage

Irrigation and drainage are a relatively dependent part of rice. For upland rice, it is a dry field, and the process of irrigation and drainage is different. However, it is generally 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, the rice was often dried in the front yard of the Sanheyuan, and it needed to be turned over from time to time to dry the rice.

Screening involves removing impurities such as shriveled rice, using an electric splitter, windmill or manual shaking to separate the rice, and using wind power to automatically screen out the full and heavy rice. "

After saying this, Rei Xiyue went on to say: "

What conditions are needed to grow rice?

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

The environmental temperature for rice growth must be higher than 13°C. When the temperature is lower than 13°C, rice will stop growing. All green plants undergo growth and nutritional processes under light conditions, and rice is no exception.

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

2. The growth of rice requires sufficient water. When the water supply is insufficient, the physiological functions of the plant will be reduced.

The tillering stage 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 can be applied for leaf fertilization to help rice grow and resist the adverse effects of the external environment.

Of course, when these chemical fertilizers are not available, we can actually use other fertilizers, such as cow and sheep dung, which can also play a certain role in fertilizing. "

Lai Xiyue told everyone about rice planting in class.

Agriculture is at the root of everything in this country.

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

So, know how to farm, and be able to farm. It is the hardest power in the last days.
