Pear, as one of the most popular fruits in hot summer, quenches thirst and heatstroke. Chongming "Cuiguan Pear" family added a new variety - "Sucui No. 1" this year. The new variety of Cuiguan pear just launched has a small heart and crunchy pulp, and it is juicy with sweet taste. This variety is also a new product in Shanghai.

 

The journalist came to Zhongxing Town's Zhongqi Tianyuan Xinhong Base, where more than 16,700 pear trees were planted, covering an area of 280 mu. Green pears were hanging all over the branches. Xu Xiaohui, the person in charge of the Base, picked several pears and peeled them to test their sweetness, which reached more than 12 degrees. He cut it into two halves with a knife, pear juice flowing down the knife surface, very attractive.

 

"Chongming's good ecological environment and high-tech planting methods have created these high-quality new products. We use an intelligent system to integrate water and fertilizer, and we can regularly water and fertilize pear trees through mobile phones." Xu Xiaohui told that this was the first demonstration park of the smart orchard in Shanghai, and the first standardized, labor-saving, mechanized and intelligent orchard.

 

It was learned that in addition to the intelligent system, the orchard has introduced fogging machine, electric pruning, picking platform and automatic sorting equipment, which maximized the mechanization of orchard production and realized efficient production. In the past, one staff member could only be responsible for 2 mu a day, but now one staff member can look after 200 a day, which greatly saves time and labor costs.

 

"There is another secret." Xu Xiaohui revealed that the base has adopted an advanced orchard soil management method - orchard grass, which can effectively improve the orchard soil environment.

 

It is seen that beside the pear trees with wide rows and dense planting, grass grows luxuriantly. In fact, this is not because the workers forgot to cut the grass, but deliberately. "On the one hand, the soil salinity in Dongtan is high, so planting grass can effectively prevent the soil from returning salt under high temperature environment. On the other hand, grass can protect the roots of pear trees and inhibit water loss." Xu Xiaohui said that this natural farming planting method can make pears grow naturally and not be ripened. This year is the trial period. In order to make pear trees grow better, the base controls the fruit yield, with an output of about 50 - 100 Jin per mu. It is expected to achieve a high yield in the next year, with an output of 2,500 - 3,000 Jin per mu.
