It’s another harvest season. The joy of harvest permeates the fields full of golden corn, hanging on the fruit-laden branches, and permeates the laughter of the reapers. A farmer busy in the orchard said: "With the 'protection and escort' of meteorological technology and meteorological services, we can safely calculate the harvest opportunities based on weather conditions."
In recent years, our city's meteorological department Taking meteorological modernization as a carrier and closely integrating with the city’s work idea of ??“stabilizing grain and increasing fruit”, we will give full play to the role of the meteorological department in serving agriculture and agricultural disaster prevention and reduction, comprehensively improve the ability and level of meteorological services for agriculture, and establish a system covering the fields. Intelligent meteorological observation facilities provide agricultural departments, large growers, professional cooperatives and agricultural-related enterprises with accurate meteorological information and meteorological service technology to guide scientific planting. Help increase agricultural production and income, allow farmers to change from "watching the weather" to "watching the weather" in the past, and realize the innovative development of the agricultural meteorological "direct-through" service model.
Careful service in the cherry industry
Tongchuan is the "Sweet Cherry Capital of China". In recent years, Tongchuan cherry industry has developed rapidly, with a cherry planting area of ??38,000 acres and an annual output of 20,000 tons. The per capita income of fruit farmers has exceeded 10,000 yuan. Most fruit farmers have escaped poverty and lived a happy life through the development of the cherry industry.
“It is difficult to grow good-tasting cherry trees.” The quality of cherries is directly affected by meteorological factors such as temperature, precipitation, and sunshine. In recent years, the Municipal Meteorological Bureau has been committed to solving key technical problems in large cherry cultivation and providing direct services and professional service products to cherry growers. In particular, it has conducted in-depth technical research and services on cherry growth, and established a specially established meteorological service expert group for cherry cultivation. Through a combination of field positioning monitoring experiments, indoor microclimate research and analysis, and technology demonstrations, meteorological condition monitoring and greenhouse cherry microclimate regulation experimental research and practice have been carried out, forming a relatively complete cherry meteorological condition regulation technology and service system and characteristics, ensuring the results of cherries. The efficiency and high quality provide technical support and important reference for high-quality and efficient cherry planting, production and sales in Tongchuan and even the entire Weibei region. The meteorological conditions and control technology for cherry planting in the Weibei region completed by the Municipal Meteorological Bureau won the third prize of the 2019 Shaanxi Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award.
The "treasure book" of skullcap is in your heart
"The growth of skullcap is very delicate and resistant to drought, cold and waterlogging. The temperature should be moderate but not high, 16-20 degrees is best …” The jingle of this sentence is not only catchy to read, but also provides the most evidence-based technical guidance for Chinese herbal medicine growers. The Municipal Meteorological Bureau closely integrates the planning and layout of the city's Chinese medicinal material planting industry and actively carries out analysis and research on meteorological planting technology of Chinese medicinal materials. Through a large amount of climate data analysis and research on the suitability of Chinese herbal medicine planting, the "Tongchuan Dryland Scutellaria Planting Meteorological Service Manual" and the "Tongchuan Dryland Scutellaria Planting Meteorological Service Comic Manual" were compiled, including the main varieties of Scutellaria baicalensis, meteorological service indicators in each growth period, major disasters, etc. aspects were elaborated in detail. , thereby helping farmers grow good skullcap.
“This is really a scientific, applicable and interesting ‘book’.” Li Yanping, a herbicide farmer at the Tongchuan Scutellaria baicalensis planting base, said that with this “book”, drug farmers can follow the specific information provided by the meteorological department. Technical guidance and meticulous service, scientific and effective planting. In the minds of drug farmers, this "book" is not only a summary of the experience of meteorological technical experts, but also a reassurance for the high yield of skullcap, and a safe place for drug farmers to harvest with peace of mind.
Zanthoxylum bungeanum, hemp, happiness, *** and care
Every July and August, in Wenchang Village, Yaozhou District, red Zanthoxylum bungeanum pepper dyes the mountains and fields on the ground, in front of and behind the house. red. Three or five groups of people picked peppercorns, their faces filled with the joy of the harvest. "My family has planted 12 acres of peppers. The income from pepper cultivation alone is about 100,000 to 130,000 yuan per year. Last year, we planted more than ten acres of new varieties, which will bear fruit next year. After that, my annual income will definitely exceed 200,000 yuan. ." said Zhao Jianqiang, a large plantation owner in the village.
The Municipal Meteorological Bureau closely integrates the development of poverty-stricken industries, supports prosperity with wisdom, and provides professional meteorological services for the pepper industry to ensure an increase in pepper production and income.
A meteorological service demonstration station was established in the village, a six-element automatic weather station was built, a weather forecast and early warning display was built, and rolling updated weather forecasts were sent to villagers through text messages and APPs; technical personnel were organized to "send technology to the countryside" and "send services to the countryside" many times ” to carry out knowledge training on meteorological disaster prevention and pest control. Under the guidance of the demonstration garden, pepper infiltration irrigation technology was promoted, and new technologies such as pepper planting, management, and pruning were used to guide farmers to produce peppers, achieving a scientific, high-quality, and high-yield management and protection model, and promoting the comprehensive promotion of the pepper industry in the village. . Zanthoxylum bungeanum pepper stings in the mouth, but it really tastes good in the hearts of the villagers in Wenchang Village. It has become the "golden bean" that helps people get rid of poverty and become prosperous.
