Thousand acres of soybean and corn are growing well

Recently, in Rongwang Village, Shangliang Town, Lingtai County, there was a thousand mu demonstration area of soybean and corn belt planting. The author saw that a row of corn and soybeans grew happily, and the emerald green leaves swayed gently with the breeze, emitting vitality.

I haven’t had this kind of intercropping before. I feel that planting less corn in separate rows leads to lower yields, “said Liu Geping, a villager of Rongwang Society. At first, he questioned this planting method, thinking that soybeans and corn are two different crops. After this intercropping, how to apply medicine and how to use chemical fertilizers.

Yang Hongke, the head of the village stock economic cooperative, firmly told the author that many people had questioned the promotion of this planting technology when it began. They invited experts from the county agricultural technology center to the field for training and guidance, and the town also provided them with some agricultural support. Finally, they carried out field promotion according to the “4+2” planting model. From the current planting situation, both corn and soybeans are growing well, which also makes the people more believe in the advantages of scientific planting.

This intercropping not only won’t reduce the original corn yield, but also can increase the output value per mu through soybean planting, achieving a double harvest in one season. According to our estimation, this year, one mu of land can increase income by at least 400 yuan compared to previous years. “Yang Hongke said happily.

In recent years, centering on the goal of “increasing agricultural efficiency and farmers’ income”, Shangliang Town has vigorously promoted the new pattern of corn and soybean belt compound planting by taking measures such as point to area, demonstration driven, policy support, and scientific and technological support, laying a solid foundation for promoting farmers’ income and efficiency and ensuring food security. In the next step, Shangliang Town will continue to promote the belt composite planting technology of soybean and corn, promote the large-scale and standardized planting of the whole town, further improve the comprehensive production capacity, organize more villagers and planting cooperatives to participate in planting, ensure food production safety, and help promote rural revitalization.
