my dream forest

Chapter 84 Dilemma
"Why don't we hurry up and spray pesticides? Although spraying pesticides causes pollution, we can't control that much now. If we don't control the pests, all the pine forests on Daqing Mountain will be destroyed."

Guo Xinmin seemed very impatient, letting him use the "ultimate weapon" as soon as he opened his mouth.

Secretary Lin didn't gnaw, Feng Tiance and Lin Xiaojing both shook their heads at the same time.It’s not that this method is not feasible, it’s just too infeasible!
"Father, Brother Guo, spraying chemicals is the last resort. It is not a last resort. It cannot be used easily. It will take many years for drug pollution to slowly subside. If it is used, the ecological origin of our application in the village Certification will never be approved.”

Lin Xiaojing knew that the certification of ecological origin products in Xiegu Village had reached the final stage.You only need someone to take samples and make an ecological environment analysis report, and that's it.

But now spraying drugs, sampling and analysis must fail.

"Yeah, Jing Jing is right. Even if the certification is not considered, the effect of spraying is not that good, and it may not be able to control the pests."

Feng Tiance knew more about the pine caterpillar pest, which is the nightmare of all forestry people.It is a deadly threat that is difficult to eradicate for pine forests, cypress forests, etc.

The best way to prevent and control this kind of pest is not to plant a single tree species forest land. The first choice is of course to plant a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest.This is also an important reason why Feng Tiance himself had to carry out tree species transformation from the very beginning.

In his own woodland, after thinning, he replanted saplings according to the model of mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests.

But that is a long-term effect, and it does not help the immediate crisis.

"What about biological control? Can the disaster be brought under control?"

The biological control proposed by Lin Xiaojing is to introduce beneficial birds to eat insects and Trichogrammas to eat insect eggs.The method is a good method, but the cost is high and the effect is slow.Again, it may not be possible to control the spread of pests.

Feng Tiance explained to everyone the pros and cons of various prevention and treatment methods in detail, and several people fell silent. There really was no quick and efficient method for a while.

"Uncle Youde, Brother Guo, Jingjing, let's go down the mountain first. Jingjing can contact the technical staff of the County Forestry Bureau and ask them to give some support. Brother Guo, go to the county or city to find chemicals The source of goods is the last option. In addition, I will think about it when I go back, and we will discuss it tomorrow and decide on a train of thought. Anyway, we have to take action, and we can’t just watch the pest outbreak.”

There is no hesitation in this kind of thing. Tomorrow, we must come up with a solution. There is still a process from the plan to the implementation, so Feng Tiance asked several people to divide the work and make preparations first.

"Well, it's all according to Tiance. Let's go down the mountain first. I have already called stationmaster Wang at the forestry station in the town. He will bring someone here early tomorrow morning."

Party Secretary Lin glanced at Feng Tiance approvingly. This kid usually doesn't talk much, but he still has some rules at critical moments.

A few people walked down the mountain, and Feng Tiance separated from them at Taolin.He was worried about his own woodlands, especially the few contiguous pine forests, and wondered what was going on.

After bypassing the wooden house halfway up the hill, he walked directly to the nearest pine forest.This woodland is also the place where he picked peach blossom fungi, most of which are larch and masson pine.Although there are also some broad-leaved trees that were replanted later, this area is the one that has undergone the least transformation.Tree species are relatively single.

"Tiance, there are pine caterpillars in our forest."

Not far into the pine forest, Feng Tiance saw Liu Yuzhu leading a person patrolling.Before he had time to speak, Zhu Zi yelled first, and it seemed that he had also discovered the signs of insect infestation.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are talented. I came up the mountain just because of the pine caterpillar. How many pine forests have you checked? Is the situation serious? Take me to have a look, let's talk as we walk."

The man with Liu Yuzhu was about the same age as Feng Tiance, tall and burly, named Zhang Youcai, the younger brother of the "butcher" Zhang Youzhi.

The spread of pine caterpillars is very fast. Looking at the scale of the pine caterpillar bases I saw before, Feng Tiance knew that the pest infestation was very serious this time.With a burning heart, he followed Liu Yuzhu and the two to the place where the bug was found.

Here, it is not the west side of the pine forest, but the northeast side of the pine forest, which is close to Yuping Peak and has reached the high slope.

"Tiance, this is the most powerful place, we only saw sporadic bugs in other places."

Liu Yuzhu said while pointing to five or six masson pine trees. Feng Tiance took a closer look and found that there were quite a lot of pine caterpillars.Some have already started laying eggs.

"Brother Zhuzi, do you know who in our village knows how to keep bees?"

Yi Niao, it is very difficult to get a large batch of them in a while.However, Trichogramma can be bred artificially, and the cycle is not long. If you think of a way, it will come in handy.

"Tiance, don't you know? Talented brother, Butcher Zhang knows how to raise bees. It's just that he raised bees for several years and didn't make any money, so he stopped doing it later."

Feng Tiance left the village when he was in middle school, and came back twice a year, how could he know this.Besides, the nickname of a beekeeper is "butcher", who would have thought of it?
"That's it, Youcai, go find your elder brother now. Just say, I have something to ask him, please come to my wooden house halfway up the hill."

"Alright, Tiance, I'll go find my brother now."

Zhang Youcai responded, and trotted to find someone.Feng Tiance and Liu Yuzhu continued to search the center of the pine forest.

"Tiance, go in, and you can hardly see the pine caterpillars. Could it be that these scourges haven't had time to migrate over? Alas, Trichogramma alone can't wipe out all these pests. If we spray pesticides, the wild fungi and The medicinal materials are completely useless."

In the center of the pine forest, a large number of peach blossom fungi can be collected in spring, and wild goose fungus can be collected in autumn, which is a rare treasure.Once the chemicals are sprayed and the environment is polluted, I am afraid that these treasures will never be seen again for many years.

Whether it is wild fungi or bamboo fungus, their growth has extremely high requirements on the environment.Once the environment is no longer suitable, it is impossible to grow back.

"Well, brother Zhuzi, my idea is also to try not to use chemical drugs."

Feng Tiance agreed with Liu Yuzhu's statement that the most precious wealth in these corners of Xiegu Village is the excellent ecological environment.If the ecology of the mountain is destroyed, it will really become a "poor mountain village".

As far as he is concerned, he would rather lose thousands of acres of pine forest than pollute this mountain.

"Huh? This is a bit strange. Tiance, is the central area of ​​this pine forest a restricted area for pine caterpillars, and you can't see any of them? There are still a lot of goose fungus here."

As soon as Feng Tian observed strategy, he sketched a simple topographical map in his mind. This piece of land was the place where he had sprayed the dilution of space well water before in order to breed wild bacteria.
