Xiamen hot and rainy vegetables grow vigorously

“The weather is hot and rainy, harvesting time of beans, cabbages and vegetables was earlier than that of the previous year by more than 10 days.” Yesterday, an expert from the Municipal Agricultural Technology Center revealed to reporters that the city’s high temperature and little rain in recent days actually made the crops, especially the vegetables, flourish. . “But the worry is that vegetables are growing too fast now, and we worry that it will not be easy to sell after the harvest.”

This period of time is the period of large growth of beans, rhizomes and leafy vegetables. The cultivation of legumes in our city is mostly concentrated in Tongan and Jimei. "The harvest time of beans is long, and it takes roughly 40-50 days from harvesting."

"Rainwater is more likely to have pests and diseases." Agriculture experts said that due to weather conditions recently, the harvest period of crops has also been relatively advanced, and mature beans have been harvested for an average of three days. Compared to the amount of water used for rice growth, less water is required for vegetable growth. According to reports, the water-saving agriculture promoted by the city has achieved significant results in terms of water saving.

Carrots, purple eggplants and green beans are the city's main out-of-focus dishes, most of which are exported and transported overseas. “These kinds of vegetables are also more water-efficient.” Agricultural experts say that once a week, furrow irrigation and normal irrigation can save water.
