After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 93 Thrips Infestation
On WeChat, Gao Yang forwarded an article about thrips pests to Shen Qiuqiu.

The harm of thrips is detailed in the article. Its worms are tiny and mainly harm young leaves, causing the leaves to shrink and become dark. In severe cases, strawberry growth stagnates, growth retardation or even death.

Thrips pests are fierce and will have a great impact on the growth and development of strawberries. Once large-scale pests appear in the field, it will cause irreparable losses.

Therefore, it must be eliminated in time before causing large-scale harm.

The more Shen Qiuqiu looked at it, the more frightened she became. It was the first time for the little girl to face such a serious pest and disease, and she was really caught off guard.

She briefly explained the situation to Grandpa Shen, and then called Zhou Dingwei, telling him to go and see if there were any similar pests and diseases in his strawberry field.

After explaining, she hurried to the town to buy pesticides.

Grandpa Shen is an experienced old farmer, and he doesn't panic when things happen. He takes Shen Xiu to carefully inspect the fields one by one.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time. In more than ten acres of strawberry fields, only dozens of strawberry seedlings in one row of land had diseases and insect pests.

The old man made a decisive decision and carefully pulled out the dozens of infected strawberry seedlings together with the nearby strawberry seedlings. A total of nearly [-] strawberry seedlings were pulled out.

These strawberry seedlings infected with diseases and insect pests were put into a large woven bag, and then they were taken away for destruction.

……

Qianfeng Town, Hongyun Agricultural Materials Wholesale Store.

Thrips is a very common pest and disease. The commonly used pesticides to prevent thrips are stocked in agricultural material stores all year round.

Shen Qiuqiu told the boss about the pesticides she wanted, and the boss understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and quickly found all the pesticides she wanted.

Then he said casually: "To treat thrips, right? We have a new special drug here, and the effect is much better than yours. Would you like to bring a few bottles to try?"

Then, he handed several bottles of green pesticide to Shen Qiuqiu, "This medicine is very effective, but the price is also a bit more expensive."

Shen Qiuqiu is a novice farmer and knows nothing about pesticides, but he has an intuition that this should be a routine.

In desperation, she had no choice but to report Gao Yang's name.

"Uh, Gao Yang from the Agricultural Science Station introduced me to buy it. I don't know much about these pesticides. Why don't I call him first?"

As soon as the boss heard him mention Gao Yang, he tactfully put away those bottles of pesticides.

He smiled and said, "Hey, it was Xiao Gao who introduced it. I told you earlier, I won't play tricks, and the medicine he made must be better than mine."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said nothing, it really was a routine.

The boss put the several medicines she wanted into the bag, then picked up the calculator and started to calculate.

"It's just a few things, right? Let me do the math...the total is 460 nine, so just give it four hundred and five."

Shen Qiuqiu scanned the QR code to pay, and thanked the boss with a smile.

Before leaving, she remembered the video of drone spraying pesticides she saw on the Internet before. It is said that more than 500 mu of land can be fertilized and sprayed in one day; it saves time and effort, which is very convenient.

Then he asked again: "By the way, boss, do we have that kind of drone that sprays pesticides in our town?"

The boss is a professional, of course he knows what she calls agricultural plant protection drones.

He waved his hand and said with a smile: "That kind of high-tech thing, no one in a small place like ours uses it at all.

I heard that it was sold for tens of thousands of units, and it wasn't that there was too much money to burn, and it cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy such a small broken machine.

It is not difficult to fertilize and apply pesticides; it can be solved by a few laborers, so why do we need machines. "

At the end, he said: "Girl, do you think this is the reason?"

Shen Qiuqiu disagrees with this, the rapid development of science and technology has penetrated into every aspect of people's lives.

In the future, agricultural technology will inevitably be a major trend.

She smiled and shook her head, "I just asked casually, if there is one in our town, I plan to rent one and try it out.

It is tiring to apply pesticides manually, and it is a waste of time; the machine can solve the problem in a few minutes, what a waste of time and manpower. "

The boss was directly dumbfounded by her words. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.

After recovering, he wanted to say something more, but saw that the little girl had already walked away with the bag.

He turned back to the counter and said to his wife who was sitting in front of the computer playing games: "Daughter-in-law, tell me, can we make money by buying an agricultural plant protection drone and renting it out to farmers for fertilization and medicine? "

His wife raised her head and gave him a supercilious look, "There are tens of thousands of broken machines, bought and rented to ghosts, are you burning too much money?!"

The boss turned his head to see that the figure of the little girl just now had disappeared around the corner, and blinked innocently.

……

Shen Qiuqiu went back to Qinghe Village and took home the sprayer, but his own two were not enough, so he borrowed one from Wang Weidong's next door.

Then I rode a tricycle and went straight to the strawberry field.

At this moment, Zhou Dingwei and his wife Zhang Tiantian are also there.

After Zhou Dingwei received Shen Qiuqiu's call, he hurried to check the situation in his strawberry field, checked around, and found no suspicious pests and diseases.

Thinking that the Shen family might need help, they came here directly.

It's also fortunate to have their help, otherwise Grandpa Shen and Shen Xiu alone would not be able to finish the job in a while.

Shen Qiuqiu specially bought a few bottles of pesticides for Zhou Dingwei, which happened to be given to him.

"Now is the period of high incidence of thrips pests. This pesticide has a preventive effect. You should also spray your land again."

Zhou Dingwei took it with a smile, "Okay, how much is this, I will send it to you on WeChat later."

Shen Qiuqiu didn't refuse, and reported the number to him.

Then Shen Qiuqiu put on gloves and a mask, and began to mix the potion according to the method taught by Gao Yang.

Zhou Dingwei looked at the sprayer next to him, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Hua, isn't your house equipped with drip irrigation? That thing can't spray pesticides?"

Shen Qiuqiu shook his head, "It's possible, but it can only be sprayed to the roots, it can't cover the whole plant."

The strawberry field is laid with conventional drip irrigation, which directly transports water to the soil at the root of the plant. The advantage of this is that the above-ground part of the plant will not be soaked with too much water.

Although the drip irrigation system has a fertilizer-water mixing system, which can transport liquid fertilizers and pesticides to the roots of the plants through the irrigation system; however, insect pests on strawberry seedlings need to be atomized and sprayed with pesticides to cover the plant body, so the drip irrigation system cannot be used .

Zhou Dingwei nodded half-understood, "Oh... so there are so many details."

Seeing that he has been standing here and does not intend to leave, he obviously wants to stay and help.

Grandpa Shen urged: "Dingwei, you also need to spray pesticides on your land, so hurry up and do it, the three of us can do it."

Zhou Dingwei smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll help you first. I only have three acres of land there, so it's very fast."

Grandpa Shen waved his hand, "No, no, go do your work. We only have three sprayers here, and you don't have any."

Zhou Dingwei had no choice but to leave with Zhang Tiantian.
