- With soil fertilizers, naturally we also need soil pesticides. Ma Yilong's pesticide laboratory has developed more than 300 soil pesticide prescriptions for different diseases of various crops, basically covering common diseases of various crops.
This is not just Mr. Zhao¡¯s contribution. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, our ancestors began to use botanical biopesticides to treat various crop diseases.
For example, during the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, chrysanthemum leaves are burned into ashes and sprinkled on the crops, so that the crops will not suffer from pests and diseases. For example, scattering rabbit droppings into the ground along with seeds can kill cutworms; spraying leek water to control aphids; brushing rice soup on cotton branches and leaves to suffocate spider mites, etc
Of the more than 300 kinds of soil pesticides, half are local secret recipes collected by development companies in various counties. In this era, information was extremely limited, and information was often not exchanged between different villages in the same county. Therefore, many recipes were only circulated in a small area. After the establishment of the Agricultural College, Ma Yilong asked all counties to find ways to collect various agricultural secrets and unique skills. And it¡¯s considered a performance Whoever collects more will train more agricultural technicians. If you can't collect it, I'm sorry, the quota is full. Please come again next time.
As expected, those who have served as prefects are all management masters.
In addition, Li Shizhen also contributed 70 or 80 proven effective prescriptions, as well as more than 200 unverified formulas. Although he is a doctor, he has traveled all over the world to compile the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and collected medicinal materials and prescriptions for half a lifetime, many of which are used to prevent and control crop diseases and insect pests.
"I tried my best to invite him to join the Agricultural College, but he ignored him." Ma Yilong complained depressedly: "What a rare talent. It would be a pity not to come. He could have become the king of pesticides."
"'The King of Pesticides' Mr. Zhao slandered and said with a smile: "He is the dean of the medical school and has to sit in the hospital, so he will definitely not be able to get away."
"Can the hospital compare with the Agricultural College? The country is based on agriculture!" Ma Yilong said proudly.
"It is also very important to save the world by hanging a pot and treating diseases and saving people. There is no need to distinguish between superior and inferior, you all have a bright future." Mr. Zhao skillfully rubbed the mud and asked again: "By the way, those things I brought back last year "
"It's planted." Ma Yilong nodded excitedly and took Zhao Hao back to the I-shaped teaching building.
On the way, he also pointed out to Zhao Hao the ten acres of cornfield that he carefully cared for. Last year, he used a basket of corn that Zhao Hao gave him to plant an acre of corn. After harvesting, he planted all of it. This year, the planting area expanded tenfold.
"We'll be able to harvest six thousand kilograms of corn in autumn. Next year I'm going to find a farm to try planting it." Ma Yilong said quite proudly: "But my opinion is don't rush to promote it. First, the yield is far from what you said. To a certain extent, we must continue to select and breed seeds to increase the yield to be attractive. Second, this new crop must adapt to the water and soil. It will not grow well in Jiangnan within ten to eight years. Next year Sishan and the others will enter I am rushing to take the exam in Beijing, so let them bring a few hundred kilograms of seeds back to the capital to try planting. Since they have been planted in the imperial garden there for decades, they should be more adapted to the soil and water of the north."
Zhao Hao couldn't help but glance at Shi Jizhi and saw that he also had a wry smile on his face. People come to Beijing to take the exam to write essays and meet friends. It¡¯s really not respectable for them to go to Beijing to take the exam but have to ask someone to farm the land.
"Brother Lao Sishan, let Xishan Group handle this kind of thing. He can just provide some guidance." Zhao Hao then relieved him, and Shi Jizhi smiled gratefully.
"Oh, you also have a Xishan Group?" Ma Yilong was surprised and said: "It's really a big business!"
¡°My master didn¡¯t start a company to make money, but to benefit the people.¡± The two children didn¡¯t like hearing it anymore and protested loudly.
"Haha, listen to his nonsense. A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. You can't change your habits." Ma Yilong didn't give Mr. Zhao face, and led everyone to the open space on the west side of the school building, where there was a full-scale building. Permanent conservatory of glass.
This is the ten-acre greenhouse that Mr. Zhao originally promised him, but because the plate glass is too expensive, it is only one-acre in size now, and he can only owe the remaining nine acres.
Now that April is getting warmer, the glass on all sides of the greenhouse has been removed, and a layer of linoleum has been laid on the top to prevent the strong sunlight from damaging the crops inside.
There are people guarding the door of the greenhouse to prevent any people or animals from harming Mr. Meng He¡¯s treasure.
Zhao Hao and others followed him in and saw rows of pine boxes over half a meter high neatly arranged inside. Plants that did not look like middle earth were planted on the nutritious black soil in the boxes.
One of the rows has enchanting stems, purple flowers, and yellow stamens, which look very beautiful. Secretary Ma fell in love with them at first sight and said that the flowers were so beautiful, just like narcissus.
"This is a potato." Mr. Zhao's voice was full of surprise: "They were grown so quickly?"
"This"The second crop" Ma Yilong said calmly. Nothing makes him prouder than growing a new kind of food.
??~~
This is one of the trophies that Zhao Hao seized from two Western sailing ships last year.
Zhao Hao knew that potatoes, sweet potatoes and peppers had been brought back to Portugal from the Americas decades ago, so after capturing the Duke of Goa and the Oriental Beauty, he ordered to collect their inventories to see if they could Find these things.
However, what disappointed him was that the food of the Portuguese who were trading with Japan was quite good. The red-haired ghosts ate bread, the South Asian natives ate rice, and the vegetables were all provided by Omura's family. I didn't find anything special.
Just when Zhao Hao was about to give up, he suddenly saw little Lucas coming back to pack his luggage, holding a few pots of flowers in a wooden box. He looked familiar.
Zhao Hao asked him to take the pots of flowers and look at them carefully.
Pintuo told Mr. Zhao that his adjutant was a handsome young man who loved life and was full of fun. He not only loved to write poems, but also wrote about flowers and plants to spice up the boring voyage
"Damn, aren't these just potatoes?" Mr. Zhao looked at the purple, white and pink potted plants and exclaimed, "Columbus worked so hard to bring them back to you, but you are using them as flower seeds?"
After listening to the interpreter, little Lucas told Zhao Hao that it was indeed 40 years ago that Francisco Pizarro brought this strange round tuber back from the Andes Mountains. Because its shape is similar to a mushroom, it is called 'Truffles', but no one uses them as food in the Iberian Peninsula. Just because its flowers and stems are particularly beautiful, it was planted as a novel ornamental plant by princes and nobles.
When little Lucas left Lisbon, he took a few potatoes with him and planted them on the boat to express his longing for his hometown
A group of fools who have stunned heavenly things are no wonder they are dry. Mr. Zhao ignored poor little Lucas's pleas and confiscated his beloved potted plants. He asked Chen Huaixiu to take them home and give them to Ma Yilong, and explained the cultivation method in the letter. In fact, there is nothing special about it, it is almost like growing taro.
Ma Yilong has long heard Zhao Hao brag about the wonders of potatoes - they are high-yielding, drought- and cold-resistant, and can be regarded as the savior of the poor and the stabilizer of the dynasty! So how dare you be careless? He quickly followed Zhao Hao's instructions and transplanted the potted plants into the greenhouse. After the branches and leaves have withered, dig out the tubers. Wait for the potatoes to germinate, cut them into pieces, plant them in carefully prepared nursery soil, and serve them like your ancestors until now
??~~
Under Zhao Hao¡¯s strong request, Ma Yilong agreed with a pained face and dug up a few potatoes to have a taste at noon.
He calculated over and over again and was only allowed to dig four. He planned to use half of the remaining potatoes as seed potatoes and half as seeds because Zhao Hao told him that potatoes are mainly obtained through vegetative reproduction of tubers, but in this way the virus will continue to be passed on. Degenerative lesions appear after several generations, leading to reduced production or even sterilization.
Although you can use copper sulfate and lime water to prepare Bordeaux liquid, it will attenuate the buds and greatly slow down the rate of degradation. But it is still necessary to save seeds for potatoes, cultivate improved varieties through sexual reproduction, and constantly replace the buds. This is a long-term solution.
Zhao Hao asked two disciples to dig out four potato plants, but the harvest disappointed him. After washing away the mud, we saw that the potatoes on the roots of each plant were not only small in number, but most of them were only the size of quail eggs, and the largest ones were only as big as chicken eggs.
"First, there are still about ten days before the harvest, and they will all grow to the size of eggs by then." Ma Yilong said matter-of-factly: "Secondly, there is still the old problem of acclimatization. Transplanting wheat from the north to the south of the Yangtze River will be difficult. It will take many years to harvest properly, let alone something like this that comes across the ocean.¡±
"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded in agreement. He remembered that in another time and space, in the 22nd year of Wanli, Jin Xuezeng promoted the planting of sweet potatoes in Fujian. By the Tianqi year, due to the pressure of Xiao Glacier, large-scale planting began across the country, but the effect Very poor, extremely low yield. Later, Hong Chengchou forcibly promoted it in Shaanxi, which even caused a civil uprising.
As a result, the time-traveling artifact Diguo failed to save the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen still hung himself from the old crooked neck tree. It was not until the Kangxi period that sweet potatoes adapted to the soil and water of the Ming Dynasty, and the output gradually increased, finally creating the famous sweet potato era.
This is also the reason why Portugal and Spain did not take the three highly productive brothers from South America seriously after they were introduced to Europe for decades. It's not that they don't eat it - even if the nobles disdain to eat it, they can still use it to feed the lowly farmers.
Why do they become so fragrant after dozens or even hundreds of years? There is no other reason. The three brothers adapted and the output returned to normal
??~~
So why is Ma Yilong so confident that Tudou can adapt to it within ten years?
Because he wants potatoes to adapt to the environment from a seed, and then selects the strongest plants to continue cultivating them, which of course can greatly shorten the adaptation period.
So, it¡¯s impossible not to save seeds, brothers. If you have this bad habit, you should actively correct it!
In addition to potatoes, the greenhouse also grows tomatoes, peppers and sunflowers that Zhao Hao received from Japanese missionaries. These have been grown in Japan for many years. They are generally adapted to the climate of East Asia and are growing well.
But the importance cannot be compared with potatoes (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It¡¯s over.
