How does Kubuqi interpret the legend of "turning sand into gold"
The desert is a pure land without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. After the ecological improvement, it has become an ideal place to develop green organic agriculture.
Ngobeh, which once had a long yellow sand, is now surrounded by green forests and flowing water, and patches of alfalfa are scattered among them. 136 There are all kinds of fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse.
Walking into a greenhouse, I saw watermelons bred in round space lying among vines. Tomatoes were fruitful, pitaya was in full bloom, and newly introduced papaya, ginger and lily grew vigorously. "The desert has become an oasis, and the oasis has become a pastoral." Liu Xueqin said with a smile.
The seabuckthorn fruit in Huang Chengcheng clings to the branches, the sunflower is covered with golden trays, and the green oats are jointing and heading ... The Baituliang Forest Farm in Dalat Banner, Inner Mongolia is about to usher in another bumper harvest year.
"Seabuckthorn plus interplanting sunflower can earn more than 5,000 yuan per mu." Wang Shuangxi, the person in charge of the scene, said sadly.
Since 20 12, this forest farm has vigorously developed economic forests, planting more than 9,000 mu of fruit forests such as seabuckthorn, jujube, mulberry, medlar and Prunus humilis, and interplanting economic crops such as alfalfa, sunflower and oat under the forest, achieving a win-win situation in ecological benefits and economic benefits.
Licorice is not only a medicinal material, but also can fix sand and improve soil. The "Ural Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch" produced in Kubuqi Desert is well known. In sand control, Hangjinqi encourages farmers, herdsmen and enterprises to plant licorice. At present, the planting area of artificial licorice is nearly 6,543,800 mu.
The local enterprise Yili Group provides seedlings and technical services to develop licorice planting in the form of "company+farmers". Among them, Mongolian pharmaceutical factory processes Chinese herbal pieces and finished medicines, and the products are exported to Japan, South Korea, Germany and other places.
Jiren Menken is a herdsman in Bayinwusugacha, Hanggin Banner. More than 3,800 mu of grassland in his family is planted with licorice, and the annual income from selling licorice and licorice seeds is more than 50,000 yuan, which is more than his income from raising sheep.
Licorice, ephedra, cistanche deserticola, Artemisia argyi ... Nowadays, the cultivation and processing of medicinal materials in Kubuqi Desert has begun to take shape.
Improving ecology means developing productive forces. The Green Lock "Huanglong" and Kubuqi Desert are becoming the well-known hometown of rice and grain, the "vegetable basket" and the hometown of melons and fruits, and the aquaculture industry is also booming.
In the past, Guanjing Village, Zhonghe Town, Dalat Banner, was a famous "poor shawo". Now, the forest and grass are flourishing, and the two companies invested 200 million yuan to build a large dairy farm. At present, there are more than 5000 cows on hand.
"The cultivated land in the village is planted with corn, which is not enough for two companies. Don't worry about sales. " The villager Zhou said with a big smile.
Since 2008, Knight Ranch Company has been shifting sand on the northern edge of Kubuqi Desert. After management, three farms have been built, planting alfalfa and storing more than 30 thousand mu of corn. At present, the number of dairy cows and beef cattle has reached 7000. "Cow dung is used to improve soil quality, thus achieving a virtuous circle of ecology, planting and breeding." Joe, general manager of knight company Kangtailun Ranch, said.
The sand-fixing forest in Kubuqi Desert is mainly composed of shrubs such as Salix psammophila, Caragana korshinskii and Leymus chinensis, which need to be leveled every 3-5 years, otherwise it will die. Flat stubble produces a large number of branches, which can continuously provide raw materials for shrub resources development enterprises such as feed mills, wood-based panels factories and biomass power plants.
"Shrubs contain almost no impurities such as sulfur, so they are clean fuels." A technician of Hangjinqi Yuanfeng Biomass Thermal Power Company said that this enterprise consumes about 200,000 tons of shrub branches every year and can generate more than 200 million kWh of electricity. In order to operate, in the form of "company+farmers", the company drives local farmers and herdsmen to plant more than 200,000 mu of shrubs such as Salix psammophila, and issues more than 60 million yuan for shrub purchase every year.
The Fengshuiliang area on the northern edge of Kubuqi Desert used to be an undulating sea of sand, and there was no family within 53 square kilometers of Fiona Fang. Since 2005, Dongda Group has planted trees and grass here, and now it is surrounded by green trees, factories and communities.
Wood-based panels are produced from branches such as Salix psammophila, and straw mushrooms and abalone mushrooms are planted by leftovers; Use the tender branches and leaves of shrubs such as Caragana to produce feed, feed rex rabbits, and then feed foxes and minks. On the basis of breeding, meat and fur processing projects have been developed ... At present, Feng Shui Liang has settled in more than 30 enterprises, digesting more than 300,000 tons of shrub branches such as Salix and Caragana every year, and releasing more than 5 million rex rabbits, forming 30,000 foxes, 30,000 minks and 20,000 raccoons.
In addition to the breeding and processing industry, Kubuqi also set off a tourism storm. The original barren land was inaccessible, and now seven or eight large and small desert tourist attractions have been established, such as Xiangshawan, Qixing Lake, Engebei and Yinkentala ... Sand skiing, sand riding, camel riding and volleyball on the beach attract more than one million tourists every year.
