"Dancing with Cao" corn planting experiment ｜ Cases of biological diversity protection in the neighborhood

Introduction: With the support of the Biological Diversity Protection Working Group of Biological Diversity and the Green Development Foundation of China (referred to as the Green Society BCON), the Hongyi Ecological Farm in Pingyi County, Linyi City, and the Siyuan Family Farm in Shanting District, Zaozhuang City. The "corn planting experiment with grass dance.

Recently, due to the influence of rainfall, the corn fields of the corn field in Hongyi Ecological Farm, Pingyi County, Linyi City, Shandong Province were flooded. Teacher Jiang Gaoming believes that such an environment can just test the feasibility of practicing the planting model of the "Dancing with Grass" corn planting experiments.

Teacher Wang Yanjing, the experimental base of Zaozhuang Siyuan Family Farm, said that in the dry season, weeds can play a role in shading and cooling and moisturizing, creating a good growth environment for corn, and a certain increase in production. In the rainy season, as long as the drainage is good, if the drainage is good, To a certain extent, weeds can also play a very important role. For example, the rainy weather in a row suddenly cleared and the high temperature appeared, so the steaming water vapor will have a adverse effect on the growth of corn. The weeds and corn leaves in corn fields can play a cushioning role, thereby protecting corn and reducing the steaming. Water vapor has an adverse effect on corn growth. In addition, the root system of weeds is also a soil air channel with high water content, which is conducive to the breathing of the corn root system, thereby reducing the dangers of water flooding.

At the same time, Teacher Jiang Gaoming pointed out that this planting model only intervened once before planting, without the use of herbicides. In addition, the weeds in cornfields solve the problem of planting single sex. Weeds can provide habitats for various insects. The weeds inside are also very good honey -source plants, which can promote ecological balance and stay away from the use of pesticides.

In the end, Mr. Jiang Gaoming concluded that the corn planting model of "dancing with the grass" has a very low labor cost and can be promoted on a large scale. It is a planting model with social benefits and ecological benefits.
