From thirsty melon to nutritional melon

Watermelon, also known as water melon, cold melon, and summer melon. Because of the introduction of the Western Regions, it is more called watermelon. The planting of Fugou Watermelon began in the Han Dynasty. In the Church of Fugou County of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, there was a record of "huge and sweet" watermelon.

"The fruit type is positive, beautiful, and the peel is fresh and clear; the fruit color is red water, the flavor of the melon is strong, and the aftertaste is endless." In 2017, the national geographical indicator agricultural experts gave such evaluations when the Fugou watermelon review certification was given.

Why is Fugou Watermelon good? This is inseparable from its unique geographical environment. Fugou County is a warm and temperate continental monsoon climate. The temperature difference between day and night and sufficient light, which is conducive to the accumulation of watermelon sugar; rich water resources, high soil organic matter content, and good permeability. It is the best area for high -quality watermelon growth.

In the 1980s, Fuou's watermelon was mostly planted, and wheat and watermelon were made. At that time, the shape of watermelon was different. It was famous for its large, red black seeds, and thick skin, and it was the first choice for people to quench their thirst.

Since 2000, Fuogou County has developed special cultivation with the development of seedless watermelon. Jiangcun Town's 60,000 acres of "Black Mi No. 2" seedless watermelon base was named the first "non -harmless seed watermelon production base" in 2002. The price increased by 6 cents per kilogram.

Since then, Fuogou Watermelon has begun to develop from the direction of thirst to the pursuit of form, color, taste, and nutrition.

Like the little girl next door, Fuogou Watermelon has changed eighteen changes, and the more they change, the more they have, and there are more happy events. In 2017, Fumeou Watermelon was certified by geographical indication agricultural products. In 2019, it was named Henan Province's well -known agricultural product brand. In 2020, the watermelon certification of a professional cooperative of many farmers' professional cooperatives passed green food certification.

Entering a melon shed in Cuiqiao Village, Cuiqiao Town, one by one, the shapely, rounded and full watermelon grew on the green vine. Several tourists are under the guidance of melon farmers, and they are looking for mature melon according to the number of watermelon labels.

"This year, I planted melons of different seasonal seasons and had gained two seasons. This shed is a boutique watermelon. The seedlings taught by the university. Each watermelon is high -tech, and you can fly when you install a chip ... "Wang Hong, who loves to talk about laughter, just amused the customer.

In order to improve the quality of watermelon and strengthen the watermelon industry, Fuogou County implements a system of responsibility traceability on watermelon planting, monitoring the entire process of fertilization and medication, and it is strictly forbidden to sell watermelon.

Fugou County and colleges and universities jointly carry out the cultivation of watermelon varieties to introduce new varieties such as boutique watermelon, 8424, and milk incense. "Although this kind of melon is high, people in the city are loved and sold to big cities such as Shanghai and Beijing." Wang Honggang said a sweet watermelon.

Various melon merchants came like a tide. More than 10 watermelon trading markets in the county were very lively during the day, and the lights were bright at night. Gua farmers and melon merchants bargained all night.

Recalling the watermelon trading scene 20 years ago, Li Xingang, a vegetable agent of Cao Li Township, still remembers: "Although Fuogou watermelon is sweet all over the Central Plains, it has also been difficult to sell melons. In 2008, I planted 10 acres of exposed sweet potatoes. Even rainy, no one accepted, and the four -wheeled vehicle waited for a day and one night before it was sold at a price of 5 cents per kilogram. It was just enough to cost. "

Since 2009, the planting area of ​​the watermelon in Fukou County has been nearly 300,000 mu, and the existing sales channels have not been able to meet the demand. To this end, Fuogou County has held a number of watermelon "doubles" in a row, increasing more than 180 township purchases and sales sites; more than 20 training courses for more than 20 periods to train more than 1,000 watermelon agents. At present, more than 500 agents are active in cities such as Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai and other cities all year round.

"Last year, Fugou Watermelon traded more than 1,000 orders through the one -year -old online sales platform, and achieved sales revenue of more than 50 million yuan." Said Gu Zhiheng, the person in charge of the Quality and Safety Inspection Station of Fugou County.

In 2021, the sales of Fugou Watermelon Networks accounted for about 60%of the total output. Fuogou County also vigorously promoted the watermelon of the sun, watermelon, watermelon in the early spring arched sheds, watermelon in wheat stubble, and delayed watermelon in autumn. At four o'clock, the sales of melon and wrong time increased their income, and also relieved the sales pressure of watermelon when they were listed.

"I am mainly responsible for fertilization and management, and the income is not low, and I have time to take care of the elderly and children. I am very happy." Ma Dahong, who was transporting professional cooperatives in Fugou County, said in the shed.
