v1 Chapter 64: Fruit tree grafting

Seeing Jesse Chou's sneaky look, Allen couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Looked around, then carefully looked at Jesse Zhou and said.

"That's the fruit they have. It has a strange feeling. It tastes good, but I haven't found the nutritional value report. Otherwise, I can know more accurately what is special."

Jessie Chou glanced at Alan proudly. "Hehe, I said that I was lucky. I went out to get a beauty, and I actually met me. It didn't feel expensive, so I just wrote a check and brought it with me. came back."

Jessie Chou can say this easily, but in fact, she still feels a pain in her heart. At the beginning, I was saving people with a million dollars, so I would buy some trees this time. Uh, okay, there is also Yila. But he paid a million dollars, did he let his head go?

"Cool, boss, but do you think it's useful?" Allen looked at Jessie Chou suspiciously.

"So, you should look at the results! Let the facts prove whether I was right or wrong. What do you think?" not good.

"Ok, let's wait and see." In fact, Allen wanted to say that it didn't cost money, but Jessie Chou was not using the working capital in the farm. It's the money he paid for himself, besides, this farm is originally private property. I can't say much myself.

The fruit trees were planted smoothly. Under Allen's organization, the machines were started manually. A radish was planted with a pit, and the fruit trees were planted.

Jessie Chou did not subdivide the fruit trees from the space, and let them plant them by themselves. Anyway, after a season, they will know that the fruit trees are good.

The important thing now is to plant this experimental site, and after it is planted, it will be grafted. When Jiexi Zhou was a child, he saw her uncles in her hometown graft fruit trees.

Just cut the branches here, and then graft them to the branches of another tree. At that time, I didn't know how to ask my uncle what he was going to do.

Uncle said that this is called grafting fruit trees, mainly because it can make the fruit that fruit trees produce in the future more delicious. It can also increase the resistance of fruit trees and prevent insects.

After arriving in the United States, Jessie Zhou thought of this method, and then she learned about the use of fruit tree grafting technology. In fact, as he knew when he was a child, it was to optimize the genes of fruit trees.

Grafting can not only maintain the excellent characteristics of the grafted varieties, but also use the advantageous characteristics of the rootstock to achieve early fruit, enhance the ability of cold resistance, drought resistance, and disease and insect resistance. It can also economically use propagation materials and increase the number of seedlings.

The results of this one are also good and bad, and it is impossible to have good results. However, if it comes from a mother plant, you don't have to worry about it after you have accumulated experience in the first season.

Jessie Chou was also busy with Alan and the others, but most of them were busy. He also helped fill up the soil and helped the trees. It was just like that for a day.

By the next day, this area was almost closed, and it looked a little gray at first glance. Although vital water has been sprinkled in the irrigation water source, it still takes a while for the trees to re-extend the root system in the new land.

However, if you look carefully on the branches, some fruit trees have grown small bags, and you can see a trace of green inside.

This is already beginning to sprout. Zhou Jiexi observed it and knew that this must be a species in the space. If you get closer, you can still feel the lingering smell of spatial energy. This is what Jiexi Zhou, as the owner of the space, can discover.

I saw it. Jessie Chou came to inspect early in the morning, and Alan ran over too, looking at Jiexi Chou with a very excited expression. "Boss, boss, look at this." Alan was holding a stick from the fruit tree in his hand. Under the branches.

Jessie Chou knew at a glance that it was an apple tree branch, and it was also an apple tree branch in the space.

Looking at Ellen with a look of excitement, Jessie Chou was also very concerned and leaned over, carefully looking at the branch in Ellen's hand. "So Alan, isn't this the apple tree branch just planted yesterday, what are you going to show me?"

"Boss, didn't you find anything?" Allen looked at him a little strangely.

"If you're talking about the small bag above, I mean I have seen it a long time ago, isn't it just a sign of sprouting. Is it necessary to be so excited?"

Looking at Ellen with a pretended expression of contempt, Jessie Chou said lightly.

Allen was a bit defeated by Jessie Chou, he didn't even know how excited he was at this moment.

"Boss, you bought the forehead tree species. A batch of them has already begun to grow. This is the first day they settled down. Can you imagine how powerful this is? And I dig up the soil and can already see it. The roots inside have already begun to grow outward."

"This is great, but is it necessary to be so excited?" Jessie Chou felt a little guilty looking at Alan's excitement. But after a while, he was thrown to the Himalayas. Compared to his life, the deception of Allen at this time was simply negligible.

Hearing Jessie Chou's calm words, Alan became a little uncomfortable, and he began to wonder if he was a little too excited.

"Boss, can you imagine how viable this kind of apple tree is?" Allen was excited.

"Ok. Ellen, you stop first. I know, I know. I'll say that my luck is good." Zhou Jiexi was a little proud.

After telling Jesse Chou, Allen calmed down. As if suddenly thinking of something, his face became bitter again.

"What's the matter Alan?"

"Boss, although the survivability is good, the quality of the fruit is the key. It is obviously too early now." Alan also experienced mixed tastes in his heart.

"Okay, Ellen, let's talk about it at the time. Now we'd better get this done first. When do you want to start grafting fruit trees?"

Allen picked up the branch in his hand, patted his palm and thought about it, and said to Zhou Jiexi, "The suitable temperature for grafting should be 24 to 28c, and the relative humidity of the air should be above 75%. The temperature in our park is also relatively comparative. Appropriate, and you can make a batch of the original fruit tree first, just use this." Allen shook the apple branch.

"This tree species has good viability, and its disease resistance should be good. Boss, you have returned the information, can you show it to me?"

Jessie Chou pondered for a moment, her expression a little embarrassed. "I can give you some research materials, but some of them won't work."

Although I don't know what important secrets are in it, Jessie Chou's actions have already been told to Allen. There must be something in it, but the boss doesn't want to be known. So Allen is not asking anymore.

"Well, good boss!" Allen agreed very simply.

"How long will it take if we want to graft a batch?"

"Boss, the job of grafting is actually very simple. The grafting technology in the United States is already mechanized. You don't need to do the grafting and cutting branches or something like in the past."

"Mechanized? This thing can also be mechanized?"

"Of course the boss! These tasks can now be done with a semi-mechanical or a fully-mechanized one."

"Is there a small branch before, cut it, and then insert it?"

Seeing that Jesse was interested in these things, Allen didn't bother to take out a Swiss knife directly from his pocket. Begin to demonstrate the branch in hand.

"For this rootstock, we need to remove the growing points and the heart leaves, and cut a gap of 8 to 10 millimeters in the middle of the two cotyledons vertically. You see it is like this." He waved his hand and showed it to Zhou Jiexi.

Jessie Chou picked up the tree bar, placed it in her hand and looked around, and returned it to Allen.

"Then cut the scion cotyledon about a centimeter below the leaf, and cut it into a double-sided wedge of 8-10 mm long with a blade on both sides of the young stem. Align the double wedge surface of the scion with the rootstock interface and gently insert it so that the two cuts fit together Tightly, the grafting clip is fixed."

If you do this, the steps are obviously very troublesome, so the United States, a country with relatively large labor costs, is obviously not economical. This is not the main thing. The most feared thing is that it takes time, which is time-consuming and laborious. "Allen talked to Jesse Zhou with all his heart.

"Oh, that's the case, Ellen, you have a lot of knowledge, there is no old way to learn about it because it has been mechanized." Zhou Jiexi praised him.

Hearing Jesse Chou's praise, Allen was a little bit dumbfounded. Obviously Allen knew that his boss was a layman, and he still didn't understand a lot about the farm.

This grafting technology is mechanized or not. You have to know it, because it involves the location of the graft and the interface with the graft. They are all relative, and almost all need to be understood a little bit.

"Well, you can arrange your future work like this! I'm relieved if I leave it to you here!"

"Don't worry, boss, I will do my best to get it done." Allen promised. Obviously being able to take charge of a piece of work now has improved his status. The most important thing is to learn together in school, which can be considered useful.

In the next step, Zhou Jiexi mainly went to see the cows and the sheep, or came to the orchard to inspect.

Now the farm is almost, it can be said to be full of life. The pastures are growing very well, and the cattle and sheep have made some changes after eating these forages. The cattle that have been killed recently have better meat quality than before.

And the taste is even more delicious. Atwood is also after eating the meat. Just started talking.
