Chapter 324 Farming is a science


    Relatively speaking, Xia Qing''s difficulties in this regard are smaller than those of the other lords. One is because she has reclaimed a small amount of arable land, and the other is because she still has fertilizer in stock.


    Her stocks include 1,500 kilograms of earthworm manure, 500 kilograms of crab shell fertilizer, as well as chicken manure and sheep manure fermented by Xia Qing herself, wood ash left over from burning weeds and cooking, and plant stems and leaves fermentation fertilizer, which are enough for her to grow wheat and rapeseed.


    In addition, Sun Zhejiang said that he would transport 200 kilograms of earthworm manure to Xia Qing at the end of this month. Xia Qing ordered two thousand kilograms of crab shell fertilizer from Zhong Tao a few days ago. Today, she asked Ji Li about her and wanted to buy fertilizer from the No. 7 territory...


    Xia Qing was just thinking about it when he received a call from Zhang San.


    "Xia Qing, is there a shortage of fertilizer?"


    "Yes." Xia Qing told his idol about Sun Zhejiang''s vermicompost production line being destroyed and the price increase of fertilizer.


    Zhang San couldn''t trade fertilizers with Xia Qing, "I''m all specially made green light fertilizers here, they are all for breeding. The price is too high, so it''s not appropriate for you to use them."


    Xia Qing quickly asked, "Brother San, do you have compost powder? The price of compost powder in Territory No. 9 is getting higher and higher, and it is useless."


    Zhang San didn''t understand the situation and asked, "Isn''t it a bag of two kilograms of green light dishes?"


    Although green light vegetables or wild vegetables need to be sold for about 50 points per pound, it is not difficult for the lords to test and choose one or two pounds in the territory, so it is not a problem to change the bacterial powder. But now the No. 9 Territory does not agree to exchange green light vegetables. As long as points are added, the price of bacteria powder has increased from 100 to 150. The last time Qifu exchanged, it increased to 200 points per bag.


    The lords need fertilizer to farm, but it is not easy for anyone to earn points. Not to mention the other lords who were not rich, even Xia Qing could not bear the price.


    Farming continues to require fertilizer. She has saved enough fertilizers for this autumn, but there is still a gap in the greenhouse planting in winter and the fertilizer sowing next spring.


    Therefore, Xia Qing needs to find high-quality and low-priced bacteria powder to replace the high-quality and high-priced bacteria powder in Territory No. 9. The low-priced bacteria powder sold in the safe area is of no idea of ??the quality, so Xia Qing dared not try it easily.


    She believed that with the ability of an idol, making bacteria powder is just like playing, just looking at whether he would agree or not.


    Zhang San did not disappoint his fans, "How much do you need? I''ll take some time in the past two days."


    Xia Qing was moved, "Thirty pounds are enough. Brother San, how many points do I need to make up?"


    Zhang San responded lazily, "No need to make up for it, this thing is worthless."


    Look, look! What is a high-quality idol? That''s it! Xia Qing''s pink pit depth reaches the center of Blue Star!


    After hanging up the phone, Xia Qing heard everyone was discussing how to return corn stalks to the fields in the Lord’s Channel.


    Qi Fu advocates that straw is directly crushed and returned to the fields, and Shi advocates that it will be returned to the fields after fermentation and rot. Both of these are introduced in the broadcast of agricultural knowledge and have their own advantages and disadvantages.


    Planting expert Li Si appeared at the right time and ended the discussion with a deserted and professional voice. "The corn stalks are recommended to be used after fermentation and decomposition, because the organic acids produced by the straw that are directly returned to the field will accelerate the dissolution and release of calcium, magnesium and other elements in the soil, resulting in soil acidification. The soil in our arable land has become weakly acidic, and the increase in acidity is not conducive to plant growth."


    Zhao''s mother seized the opportunity to ask, "Sister, is it better to plant wheat alkaline soil or acidic?"


    Li Si replied, "The ideal pH value for growing wheat is 6.1 to 7.5, with the highest wheat yield in this range."


    The median pH value of pH is 7. The range of wheat''s pH is equivalent to neutral or slightly acid. Xia Qing immediately recorded this important knowledge.


    Zhao''s mother asked again, "Sister Four, how do you measure the acid and alkaline of this plot?"


    Li Si replied, "The soil pH values ??in different areas are not the same. If you want to know, you can send the soil to me for testing, it is free." Xia Qing frowned when he heard that Li Si was going to measure the soil composition of the No. 4 territory.


    Zhao''s mother arrived in the territory later, so she didn''t understand the situation. When they first arrived at the territory, they bought PH test strips from Zhong Tao to test the pH and alkalinity of the soil in the territory. Xia Qing knew that Zhao Ze also bought it.


    Why didn’t he say anything? Could it be that he forgot to test and lost it?


    I have to say that Xia Qing’s intuition is still very keen. Zhao Ze, who was gnawing corn cakes in Territory No. 4, wished he could pierce his head under the table.


    The uninformed mother Zhao hurriedly thanked, "Okay, okay. I will let Zhao Ze send it over later. It is our blessing to be able to farm next to you, the third brother and Captain Luo."


    Xia Qing then asked, "Sister Si, do you know what the soil pH range is for growing rapeseed?"


    Regarding how to plant rapeseed, there is no book collected by Xia Qing, nor does it in the "Growing Collection" published by the base, nor does it mention it in the agricultural knowledge broadcast. Xia Qing got the opportunity today and asked the experts quickly.


    Li Si gave an accurate answer, "5 to 8."


    This pH range is larger than that of wheat, and every piece of cultivated land in her territory can be planted. Xia Qing carefully wrote it down.


    Hearing Xia Qing ask about rapeseed, Kuang Qingwei went online, "Do you know, sister? You need to replenish boron fertilizer when growing rapeseed. If rapeseed lacks boron, it will not only be easy to fall, but will also only bloom but not bear seeds. I got organic boron fertilizer made of seaweed and brown algae as raw materials. I rinse it with water and water it. It is enough to use 2 kilograms per acre of land. Do you want it?"


    Xia Qing did not answer immediately, but asked, "Is our soil lacking boron? Does Brother Qing know how much boron content should be achieved when growing rapeseed?"


    Xia Qing used her Yi Elemental Detector to detect the soil in the territory. She remembered that the soil contained boron and the content was not low, as if it was 72mg/cm, but Xia Qing could not say this directly.


    Because the Yi Elemental Detector is a high-precision instrument, she cannot announce that she has such an instrument, which will cause trouble.


    Kuang Qingwei could not answer Xia Qing''s question accurately, so he turned to Li Si for advice.


    Li Si replied, "The total boron content measured in Territory No. 9 is 70mg/cm, but the effective boron content is only 0.1mg/kg. The effective boron content of growing rapeseed, radish and beets should be above 0.5mg/kg, and boron fertilizer is required. The situation in Territory No. 3 needs specific testing to know."


    Xia Qing, who is pregnant with a treasure, doesn’t want to hand over the soil in the territory to Li Si for inspection. “Thank you, Sister Four, our territory is not far away, and the elemental composition must be similar. Brother Qing, I’ll have two kilograms of boron fertilizer.”


    Xia Qing placed an order without asking the price, because no matter how many points you earn, this fertilizer has to be used. Otherwise, her rapeseed will be white.


    Moreover, Kuang Qingwei promised that the goods given to her were paid at the purchase price. Xia Qing publicly asked about the price, how did Kuang Qingwei answer?


    Two kilograms of boron fertilizer are not too much for Xia Qing.


    In addition to the half pound of rapeseed seeds rewarded by the Territory Management Department, Zheng Kui told Xia Qing last time that he would sell rapeseed seeds publicly at the Autumn Agricultural Products Fair, and Xia Qing could buy half pounds.


    According to the germination rate of less than 50% of the yellow-light seeds, one pound of rapeseed seeds is not enough to plant even one acre of land, and two pounds of boron fertilizer can be used.


    Xia Qing plans to use the remaining boron fertilizer for radish in the spring next year. If Li Si didn''t say it, Xia Qing wouldn''t understand that the radish he planted was small and lacked boron.


    It turns out that boron is also divided into full amount of boron and effective boron. It turns out that lack of effective boron will reduce the yield of crops that require boron.


    Farming is really a science.
