/ Morning News/August 24, 2022 Guangzhou -- DU's Tomato has refreshed many people's understanding of fruit and vegetable planting, from imported seeds and machinery to the intelligent control glass greenhouse with a total area ranking among the top in Asia, as well as advanced planting technologies such as all-weather dynamic monitoring, CNC seedling cultivation and water-fertilizer integrated drip irrigation. Some people even visit tomato town and wonder: Is it necessary to exaggerate when it's just growing tomatoes?
The answer is, of course, yes. Because now people's demand for food health is more and more high, eating, is not only for satiety, but also a way to regulate the body function and state of the safest, the most convenient way. With this sense of mission, DU's Tomato is refined and optimized to provide people with a variety of rich, nutritious, and excellent taste of fruit tomatoes, one bite into a fresh rich tomato paradise. All kinds of imported "black technology" behind it, is the charm of DU's tomato password.
< /b>From the busy and noisy city, I drove all the way to the tomato town located in Taigu, Shanxi Province, and felt the fresh air and gentle breeze, as if the clouds were slowing down. Walking through the large green garden of the town, a huge "glass house" with a height of 8 meters and an area of about 150,000 square meters stands out in front of your eyes, just like a huge white Rubik's cube. This is the intelligent control glass greenhouse with a total area of 630 million yuan, which ranks among the top in Asia.
In this "White Rubik's Cube", exquisite "magic" is performed every day of the year --
The environmentally friendly boiler room heats boiling water, which is transferred from the heat exchange station to the glass greenhouse. Coupled with the most advanced automatic adjustment system of rising and cooling, the room temperature is kept at 25 degrees Celsius all year round. This is the tomato's favorite temperature.
The automatic seedling equipment imported from Italy provides the optimum temperature and humidity for the efficient seedling cultivation of high-quality tomato seeds imported from France and Spain, which produces tomato sprouts with high germination rate and grow as tall as bean sprouts.
After that, the automatic seedbed gently transfers the young tomato shoots to the seedling room. Here, the "European babies" are placed in a coconut bran substrate imported from Sri Lanka and watched over for 24 hours by self-feeding and watering carts.
In addition, there are RO reverse osmosis water system, the global advanced Netafim pressure compensation drip arrow system, Hortimax central environmental control system, NUTRITEC water and fertilizer system, as well as the most advanced rise and temperature design system in the "white Rubik's Cube". Under the delicate care of these high-tech "magic", To produce clusters of high-quality tomatoes that are standard in shape, consistent in sweetness and taste.
precise "drop"
"Add four drops of potassium, five drops of nitrogen, three drops of phosphorus, two drops of calcium..." If not, no one would think that this wave of laboratory-like formulation is actually manipulating the substrate environment in which tomatoes grow. This is the core "black technology" of DU's Tomato Town -- the Netafim pressure compensation drip arrow system, NUTRITEC water and fertilizer system, water and fertilizer EC/PH detection and control system, computer central control system, nutrient solution recovery and disinfection system and other precise water and fertilizer circulation systems introduced from Spain. These intelligent high-tech systems will dynamically detect the growth substrate and environment of tomatoes, and then adjust the water, fertilizer and trace elements needed for tomato planting accurately to "drop" according to the test results, to ensure that the consistency of water, fertilizer and nutrition of each tomato plant reaches more than 95%. The water and fertilizer produced after irrigation can be sterilized by UV rays and RO reverse osmosis treatment and reused again in the greenhouse, so as to realize zero discharge and zero pollution of water and fertilizer. More importantly, with these intelligent high-tech systems, farmers no longer need to walk around the entire tomato base in the hot sun, carrying heavy sprayers to apply the medicine, and constantly adding water along the way. Greatly save the labor cost at the same time, but also make the whole planting area operation more accurate, more water and fertilizer saving.
Outside Tomato Town's smart glass greenhouse, there are two large white gas tanks storing carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide, the raw material of plant photosynthesis, is transferred from the tank through a hose to the tomato substrate on a regular basis, increasing tomato production by 30 percent.DU's Tomato Town holds two national patents, one for a precise and advanced water and fertilizer system, and the other for soilless cultivation. When you step into the glasshouses growing area of Tomato Town, you feel like you are in the tropical rain forest of a botanical garden. There is clean floor, free air, no dust, no compost, no noisy flies and insects. There are neat rows of planters lined with one-metre long white "soil packets" -- cultivation bags that contain, instead of soil, coconut bran matrix imported from Sri Lanka.
Coconut husk is the fiber powder of coconut husk, which is a natural degradable organic matter medium and is very suitable for plant cultivation. The root system of tomatoes will grow very quickly if you use coconut husk. This kind of environmental protection soilless cultivation substrate, clean, no pollution, no pests and diseases, good permeability, but also can be used repeatedly. The coconut bran substrate imported from Sri Lanka was chosen because it is of the best quality and most suitable for tomato growth.
There is also a suspension line that goes straight to the top of the planting shelf, which is a gardening hook and lanyard. The green tomato branches and tendrines that "break the ground" from the coconut bran can be climbed up to a height of 5 meters, with dense layers. Looking out, the "seedlings grow into a forest", just like being in a tropical rain forest.
Moreover, the whole greenhouse adopts IPM biological control, all the personnel entering the greenhouse must go through strict disinfection procedures, "a wave of sleeves, do not bring a grain of dust". From the entrance of the greenhouse to the depth of the growing area, yellow belts, insect control nets, physical and biological measures such as sulfur fumigators, biological predators (Formosa bee, East Asian flower bug) are installed to ensure a clean and hygienic environment in the growing area and to ensure that the tomatoes are free from contamination and pests.
Han MOE messenger
Careful observation, in rows of planting frame below, every distance will see a small yellow box, which sometimes fly out of a few "little cute". They are distinguished guests, imported bumblebees from Belgium. Each box costs about 400 yuan. Each box contains 100 bumblebees, which can provide pollination service for six weeks.
Although bumblebees look chubby and cute, they are very careful when pollinating, rarely miss pollination, very dedicated to ensure the pollination rate. Moreover, bumblebees choose to collect pollen at the most mature period and cross-pollinate, so the tomatoes pollinated by bumblebees have better fruit shape, uniform and bright color, low rate of malformed fruit, full seeds, higher quality and high yield.
How about? Isn't it amazing how much advanced "black tech" there is?
< /p>Only after such high standards and strict requirements to produce such a full shape, fresh color, excellent taste of tomatoes, and then after instant sterilization, cold packaging, distribution by air... Within a day, they will be sent to fresh food stores in major cities across the country to meet citizens. At present, tomato Town produces a wide variety of high-quality tomatoes: Ruffles Bull tomatoes have a very layered flavor, Sun tomatoes have a strong flavor, Meria clusters of tomatoes have a pleasant smell, cherry clusters of small tomatoes sings sweet and sour juicy, chocolate tomatoes are rich in anthocyanins... All production processes meet GlobalGAP international certification standards for agricultural products. All seeds, machinery and equipment are imported from Europe. All fruits contain high nutrient content such as lycopene and anthocyanin.
