Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 564: Rice Planthopper Infestation
Time flies and it is now June. The long rice ears are so heavy that they bend the rice seedlings. Everyone now fully believes that these rice seedlings can produce 1500 kilograms per mu.
Compared with traditional rice, this high-yield rice not only has tall plants, but also long whole bunches of rice ears. The weather was sunny during the rice filling period some time ago, and the rice grains were full and plump.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Summer has really arrived. If nothing unexpected happens, we can harvest in half a month.
This will definitely be a bumper year, but we can't let our guard down now and must remain vigilant to check for rice planthoppers.
Although the rice planthopper is small, it is the natural enemy of rice. It can spread over a whole area and destroy the unripe rice in two or three days.
During this period, Shen Ping was busier than usual. She was not only busy in her own fields, but also took care of the villagers' rice fields, wandering around the fields all day long.
Everyone placed their hopes on the rice. Seeing that Shen Ping was more nervous than they were, the villagers felt relieved.
Early in the morning, before Shen Ping got up, she heard Gui Hong hurriedly reporting, "Madam, the village chief has something urgent to discuss with you. He is now standing outside the gate with the village chiefs of Dahe Village and Niugu Village."
Shen Ping was still dreaming when she was suddenly woken up. She was in a bad mood. Last night she was busy practicing boxing and working on the crops in the space. She forgot about time and went to bed late.
The weather in June was quite hot. She couldn't sleep at night because of the heat. The day rose early and she was woken up by the birds in the morning. She had just managed to get a nap, but was woken up again.
Shen Ping was listless and felt like she couldn't even open her eyes: "Did he say anything?"
"They didn't say, but they seemed quite anxious. Oh, by the way, I vaguely heard the village chief Liu from Dahe Village say it was about rice." Guihong said, tilting her head.
"Rice?" Shen Ping woke up and jumped out of bed. But she forgot that this was not a mattress, and there was a loud bang, and the bed shook.
Guihong was shocked. Fortunately it was a new bed. If it was an old bed, it would have fallen apart long ago.
"Please invite them in quickly~" Shen Ping got out of bed and went straight into the bathroom to wash up.
Right now, rice is a big deal. It’s not long before the harvest, and it’s a critical moment.
Soon, Shen Ping appeared in the main hall. When the village chiefs Liu from Dahe Village and Liang from Niugu Village saw Shen Ping, they immediately came to greet her anxiously: "Yu'an people, we are glad to see you. What should we do? The rice in our village is infested with insects."
"It's the same in our village." Village chief Liu echoed anxiously.
"What's going on? Don't be anxious, sit down and talk slowly!" Shen Ping sat down.
The two village chiefs surrounded her and kept talking, which gave her a headache.
Village chief He Guang spoke up: "Mother Dachun, I heard from them that the rice in their village is infested with insects. The leaves of the rice seedlings are inexplicably yellow and dry, and many small insects have grown on them."
Shen Ping's heart skipped a beat. What she feared was really coming true!
"Yes, that's right." Village Chief Liang took a sip of tea, recovered and continued, "The rice was fine in the past two days, but since yesterday, the rice seedlings in the second mother's house at the east end of the village have been found to be in such a state.
Unexpectedly, in just half a day, the field next door was also affected. The next day, almost all the fields in the village had the same problem. What should we do? "Village Chief Liang slapped his thigh anxiously.
"The situation in our village is similar to that in Dahe Village," said Village Chief Liu. "Our fields are next to theirs, and now they are both affected by the disease.
He was fine yesterday morning, but he fell ill in the evening. What do you think is going on? It will be time to harvest the rice in half a month. Isn't that life-threatening?"
It seems that the rice blast is coming with great force this time. Shen Ping immediately looked at He Guang and said, "Village Chief, are you going to check on the rice in our village this morning?"
"I checked, nothing's wrong for now!" Village Chief He was worried: "Our village is very close to theirs, I believe it won't be long before our rice seedlings will also be affected."
Shen Ping is well aware of the harm caused by rice planthoppers. Although these insects are small, they are invincible. Once rice encounters them, the yield will be reduced directly, or even no grain will be harvested.
"Come on, take me to see it." Shen Ping said without thinking.
"Okay, that's great. Let's go to our village first!" Village Chief Liang said first.
Shen Ping hurried back to her room and changed her clothes, then turned around and informed Dadong to take a few servants with him to check the rice in the fields near the mountain village to see if he had found similar diseases and insect pests.
Shen Ping changed her clothes and followed them through a shortcut, walking onto the ridge of the field.
This Kaoshan Village is adjacent to Dahe Village on the left and Niugu Village on the right, separated by rice fields.
Village Chief Liang led the way, followed by Shen Ping and the others. After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the rice fields of Niugu Village.
"Yu'an, look~" Village Chief Liang pointed to one of the rice fields. Shen Ping could tell something was wrong at first glance. The color of the rice was yellow. She walked in and found that many of the rice seedlings were dry.
At the roots of the rice seedlings, many tiny insects flew up.
"Not good!" Shen Ping was shocked. This was the rice leafhopper, a nightmare for rice. The rice was not ready for harvest yet.
If not handled properly, the rice leafhoppers will spread and many people's rice will be destroyed.
Shen Ping checked the nearby rice fields. The rice planthoppers were developing rapidly and the nearby rice fields were all diseased. The situation was not optimistic. If it continued like this, the rice in the entire village might be infected with the disease in a few days, and there would be no harvest at all.
"Village Chief He, what do you think of this? How come there wasn't this disease before? We finally grew these high-yield rice seeds, but now we're infected with this disease." Village Chief Liu beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Could it be that in such a good year like this, we will have to face the problem of not having enough food to eat again?
Shen Ping took a look at the rice grains and found that they were all infected with rice planthoppers. She immediately felt relieved that the disease had just started and there was still a chance.
He Guang saw Shen Ping's brows relax, as if he had found a way to deal with it, and immediately asked: "Mother Dachun, do you think there is any way? Right now, there is nothing good in the rice seedlings in our village.
But if we don’t find a solution, the disease will soon spread to our mountain village.”
"I know. I'll go back and think about it and prepare some more medicine. You wait for my news." Having said that, Shen Ping turned around and walked back without staying any longer.
"Then we'll all depend on you!" Village Chief Liu and Village Chief Liang said in unison.
Now, they can only place their hopes on Shen Ping, because it was Shen Ping who brought out the high-yield rice seeds.
They knew that Shen Ping was more anxious than them, because all her own rice fields were planted with this.
