2 Wuchuan oat noodle
Oil cotton is mainly produced in Inner Mongolia, especially in Wuchuan and Siziwangqi. Its taste is delicious and unique, and its nutritional value is high, which is very beneficial for diabetics to eat.
Oil cotton has a history of 5,000 years in China, which belongs to the alpine crops in Saibei. However, when it comes to oat noodles, many people may not know what it is, but when it comes to oats, it has a long-standing reputation at home and abroad. In fact, naked oats are oats, and oat flour is oat flour. Naked oats are annual or biennial herbs with slender and pointed leaves, light green flowers, slender awns and edible seeds. Naked oats are cold-resistant and early-tolerant, and have a long growth period. Wuchuan oat noodle has always been a popular flavor food in the big producing areas of naked oats in China, such as Wulanchabu League in Inner Mongolia, Yanbei in Shanxi and Zhangjiakou in Hebei, especially in Inner Mongolia.
3 fennel in Tuoxian County
Illicium verum is a common seasoning, which is necessary for cooking fish stew and making braised dishes. They are called "fennel" because they can remove the smell of meat and add flavor again. Star anise is aniseed, and its scientific name is "Star anise". Fennel seeds are condiments, and their stems and leaves are also fragrant, and they are often used as fillings for steamed stuffed buns, jiaozi and other foods. The main ingredient they contain is fennel oil, which can stimulate gastrointestinal nerves and blood vessels, promote the secretion of digestive juice, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis and eliminate gas accumulation, so it has the effect of invigorating stomach and promoting qi circulation; Sometimes gastrointestinal peristalsis will decrease after excitement, which will help relieve spasm and pain.
4 Wuchuan potato
In Sanhequan Village, Wuchuan County, the fields are full of busy figures like Lao Fan. Some farmers turned over the ridges, others packed boxes, and the shed was full of newly dug potatoes. Farmers said that the greenhouse can receive at least 4,000 kilograms of commercial potatoes per mu, and they have already placed an order at the price of 3 yuan per kilogram.
"In the past two years, 200 mu of greenhouses have been built in Sanhequan Village, Hale Town. In 2009, the income per mu of greenhouses exceeded 4,500 yuan. Farmers' enthusiasm for planting potatoes in greenhouses is getting higher and higher. This year, we also specially introduced the new potato variety' Fiurita'. " Di Guoxiong of Hale Town 1 in Wuchuan County excitedly introduced the "foreign varieties" of Wuchuan potatoes.
Wuchuan County is located at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain and belongs to the continental monsoon climate in the middle temperate zone. Due to abundant sunshine and large temperature difference between day and night, natural conditions are more suitable for the growth of high-quality potatoes, which are rich in nutrition. However, relying on the traditional agricultural development model for a long time cannot make Wuchuan potato achieve a breakthrough in yield, brand and benefit.
What should we do? "Based on the local reality, we should take the road of modern agriculture, put forward the development strategy of" establishing a county with potato industry ",carry out fine and efficient planting, and regard potato industry as the key project to increase farmers' income in the county. "Wang Xuefeng, secretary of Wuchuan County Party Committee, said that in recent years, the potato in Wuchuan County has rapidly expanded from more than 10,000 mu in the past to more than 700,000 mu now, with an annual output of nearly 800 million Jin. Potato greenhouse planting has become a leap from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture in Wuchuan County.
It is understood that in order to realize the fine and efficient planting of potatoes in Wuchuan County, greenhouse construction is listed as the "No.1 Project" of rural economic work in the county. As an important starting point for changing the development mode, it is promoted by the county. In 2008, according to the requirements of the relevant departments in Hohhot to vigorously develop protected agriculture, we organized and implemented the 1500 mu middle shed planting model pilot. In that year, the yield per mu of the first crop of potatoes exceeded 4,000 Jin, and vegetables such as white radish and celery were mainly planted in the next crop. The average net income per mu of the two crops is about 3600 yuan, which is about 3 times higher than that of similar field planting.
Wuchuan people, who have tasted the sweetness of modern agriculture, have earnestly summed up and improved the experience of trial planting in middle shed, and in 2009, they built another 8,000 mu of middle shed, making the total area of middle shed in the county nearly 65,438+/kloc-0.0 million mu. "The potatoes in the first greenhouse were harvested one and a half months in advance, and vegetables were planted later. There are water-saving irrigation, soil testing formula and other equipment in the shed. The potatoes produced have Wuchuan's green food brand, all of which are planted by order and are not sold. " Fan Aizhu's words speak for many farmers in Wuchuan.
Actively promoting standardized planting provides a strong impetus for potato industry in Wuchuan. Up to now, the "seven unification" planting and cultivation mode of potato in middle shed in the county has been implemented, that is, unified seeds, unified farming methods, unified close planting, unified soil testing and formula fertilization, unified micro-spraying and drip irrigation, unified weeding and soil cultivation, and unified pest control. This year, Wuchuan County continued to strengthen the construction of middle shed, and built another 2,500 mu of middle shed, mainly "five-divided shed", all of which were equipped with water-saving micro-spraying facilities, making the area of middle shed in the county reach 6,543,800 mu, involving 8 townships, 78 administrative villages, 5,750 farmers and more than 23,000 farmers.
In addition, optimizing breeding makes Wuchuan potato step into the road of high yield and high efficiency. This year, Wuchuan County also actively implemented the virus-free seed potato breeding and promotion project led by the county seed potato breeding center, and made efforts to build 25,000 mu of agricultural demonstration project areas such as the high-efficiency facility agricultural demonstration project area in Upper Tu Hai, the comprehensive agricultural development demonstration area in Gegaitou, and the organic agricultural manor in Deshenggou Bao Kun, which fundamentally enhanced the core competitiveness of Wuchuan potatoes and further consolidated the industrial base with distinctive advantages.
Over the past few years, Wuchuan County has attracted online investment and promoted it, and established supply channels with supermarkets in dozens of large and medium-sized cities.
After careful cultivation, in 2008, Wuchuan Potato successfully registered the geographical indication certification trademark and became the fresh potato of 1 and Paralympic athletes. Wuchuan county has also been identified as a national demonstration base for standardized planting of green potatoes by relevant departments. Today, the famous Wuchuan potato is showing its unique charm to the audience at the Shanghai World Expo.
