Chapter 176: Crop Fertilization

This summer is hot, the crops are growing just right, and the fields are full of hard-working villagers. Some carry dung into the mountains to fertilize the rice seedlings, some cut wormwood from the mountains to fertilize the fields, and some carry dung on their backs.

A sprayer sprays pesticides on apple trees...

My family has not raised any pigs this year, so the production of manure cleaning cannot keep up. Seeing others busy, I am also going to apply some chemical fertilizer to the rice seedlings and the seedlings in the field.

It’s just that the weather today is too hot, and it’s also very boring. The scorching sun makes people feel irritable and irritated. It may rain at night. I quickly poured about twenty kilograms of fertilizer into my pocket, and tightened the bag tightly to find the root.

The rope was tied. Then he found a plastic bottle, mixed it with water, put on the straw hat, and locked the door. Holding the bottle in one hand, he threw the fertilizer bag over his shoulder with the other hand, hung it up, and set off towards the "big rock".

When I saw someone picking up dung on the road, I quickly stepped aside to let others go first. The person picking up dung was carrying a large plastic bucket of dung on the front and back of a pole. The ears of the dung bucket were cut open.

A "dung pick" made of bamboo strips. This "dung pick" acts as a link between the dung bucket and the pole. People pick up the dung bucket and move forward quickly, and the dung bucket shakes slightly on the pole, "crunching"

The sound follows you all the way, never ending.

Carrying dung up the mountain is difficult. You have to maintain balance and be high in front and low in the back. If the front is not high, the dung bucket will hit the road or ridge in front, which may cause the dung liquid to spill out or lose the dung.

Balance, knocking over two buckets of excrement liquid, even breaking the buckets and injuring people. It not only tests people's balance, but also tests their physical strength and endurance.

After a day of picking, a person's shoulders are worn out. It is normal to have backache, leg pain, and foot pain. It is really hard, but everyone works like this. It is equivalent to hillside land, but it is much easier on flat land. One is the ground

It is relatively flat and easy to control the balance. Another thing is that if the quantity is large, you can pay some money to ask a "maji" to help drag it to the field, and just pick it from the side of the road to the field. This saves a lot of physical energy.

It's so hot when we come to the ground! It feels like the entire mountain is evaporating. The hot and humid ground air is rising continuously under the scorching sun. There is no way not to work.

Fortunately, my rice seedlings are still growing well and are over a foot tall. They are green and beautiful. But to fertilize them, you have to bend down and carefully put the fertilizer at the roots of the rice seedlings. Only in this way,

When the rain comes, the chemical fertilizer will be diluted and flow into the soil at the roots, allowing the roots of the corn to absorb it. If you do not bend down and stand straight to apply fertilizer, the fertilizer will be wasted. The corn leaves will bounce the fertilizer particles away.

They are everywhere, only the weeds are fattened and the rice seedlings are thinned. Those that fall on the film are completely wasted.

You have to bend down every time you pack corn seedlings. If you bend for a long time, it will feel like your waist is about to break. When you feel that you really can't bear it, you can stop and stretch and take it easy. If it doesn't work, you can also stay on the spot.

Lie down in the ditch.

What is uncomfortable is another situation. That is, the two arms were cut with countless small wounds by the corn leaves without knowing it. These small wounds are itchy and painful under the infiltration of sweat. It is really unbearable. I can't wait to cut them.

This arm was chopped off and thrown away.

The sun was really too strong. I drank all the water I brought with me in a few sips. My head felt dizzy from the sun, and I felt like vomiting. I suddenly realized that this situation was a bit like having a heat stroke. I felt like I was going to have a heatstroke when I lifted my pocket.

Hide under the apple tree to get some shade.

With the shade of the trees, I felt much better. I could even feel the slight wind blowing on my body, giving me a slightly cool feeling. However, the good times did not last long. After a while, I still felt extremely hot.

Forget it, grit your teeth, finish fertilizing this land quickly, and go back. Wait until the sun sets before coming back. Don't compete with the sun, or you won't be able to do it.

After finishing the application, run down the mountain quickly.

When I got home, I took a ladle and scooped up water to drink. As soon as I scooped up the water, something suddenly occurred to me. When I was a child, I heard adults tell me that there was a relative in Wudaoguai in the county. It seemed that we also called him uncle.

It is said that this uncle was digging in the mountains on a very hot day. He was tired and thirsty from digging. When he got home, he scooped up a ladle of cold water and drank it. He drank most of the ladle. There was nothing yet.

After he finished drinking a gourd, he fell to the ground with a thud. The gourd also fell to the ground, and the water spilled all over the floor. The aunt who was waiting to dry the millet in the courtyard ran into the house and took a look.

The uncle was speechless. He just looked at his aunt with tears in his eyes, and drool kept dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The aunt quickly tried her best to get her uncle to lie down on the bed, and then ran to the hospital to ask for a doctor. When she got up in a hurry to ask the doctor, the uncle had closed his eyes forever.

I was so frightened that I quickly put down the water ladle and sat on the threshold stone to rest. I felt that I had rested enough and was not that thirsty, so I slowly scooped up water to drink.

Comfortable. The cool water is sweet in the mouth. I drink it gurglingly and feel full.

After drinking water, I feel cool. I just feel hungry. Look at the time, it's sooner or later. It's still early to cook, but I'm still hungry if I don't cook. Forget it, let's just boil some potatoes.

eat.

The remaining potatoes have grown a lot of buds. They appear shriveled and wilted due to loss of water. Wash them and boil them. Take them out and eat them with fermented bean curd. They will taste soft and sweet.

After eating, you should go to the fields first when you mention the fertilizer. After all, there is water in the fields and there is no heat in the mountains.

When I came to the field and took a quick look, I saw large blocks of seedlings, like large green carpets, inlaid in the vast fields. Under the proper lighting, the field ridges actually looked like golden inlays.

side.

I just took off my slippers and was about to go down to the field to spread fertilizer. Suddenly I found that the field was already overgrown with weeds. So I put the fertilizer on the field ridge and started to bend down to pull the weeds.

When I was a kid, I used to talk to adults about the weeds in the fields. In fact, there are many kinds of weeds in the fields. But there is a simplest classification method, that is, those that can be killed by herbicides and those that cannot be killed. They look like seedlings.

Similar weeds, such as barnyardgrass, trigonellae, and dwarf mushrooms, must be pulled off by hand. These weeds cannot be beaten to death. Duckweed, water lily, four-leaf duckweed, wolfgrass, and cow's wool can be beaten to death.

Yes, it is also very difficult to deal with. You can buy herbicides to treat it.

Considering that there are too many grasses, if you just apply chemical fertilizers hastily, the weeds will snatch away the fertilizers, and it will be endless. So just remove the barnyard grass, three-edge grass, and dwarf mushrooms that cannot be killed.

Come and put it on the ridge of the field. After a while, you will carry it to the ditch and throw it away.

After tearing the grass, drain the water and let the field dry for a while. When the weather clears tomorrow, I will buy herbicides and spray them. Apply the pesticide and let it dry for one to two days. I put the water back up again, but the water does not work.

Put too much. You can only put a thin layer of water, which is enough to cover the field by one or two centimeters. Turn off the thin layer of water and wait for three to five days before the water level can be managed normally. Only then can you spread chemical fertilizers.

.

The grass is almost gone. Lift the weeds, mud and water and throw them into the ditch to wash them away.

Returning to the field ridge, I picked up the fertilizer and walked towards the dry field. When I arrived at the dry field, I saw that the dry field was good. There were not many weeds that could not be killed, just a few. First, open the gaps in the field ridge to drain water, and then remove two handfuls of weeds.

The grass was pulled up and thrown into the ditch to be washed away.

The sun was about to set at this time. It was no longer as harsh as it was at noon. The warmth on my body was very comfortable. I quickly picked up my fertilizer bag and walked quickly towards the valley in the mountains.

When we got to the mountain, we ignored the soreness in our backs and arms. We applied fertilizer to the field under the apple tree and hurried down the mountain to go home.

Because the weather has changed. The sky is covered with dark clouds and the mountain wind is blowing. It seems that the mountain rain is not far away.

Sure enough, as soon as I stepped through the courtyard gate, the rain started to fall.

It's raining well! If it had rained earlier, I would have been a drowned rat. If it hadn't rained, I would have been worried that the little fertilizer I had was burned away by the sun.

After eating, I boiled some hot water to wash my face and feet. Then I went upstairs to sleep. I didn't fall asleep immediately after lying down. I had to think about tomorrow's work.

I thought to myself that I had to get up early tomorrow. When I got up, I quickly went to apply fertilizer on the field in Baoshang Valley. After applying fertilizer on the field, I quickly came back to have some food. After eating, I carried the sprayer and picked up the big enamel cup.
