Is it profitable to grow sunflowers? Are there still old varieties?

In 2011, an entrepreneur with a net worth of hundreds of millions invested in the construction of a small estate in the countryside, covering an area of more than 40 acres, with hotels, swimming pools, racetracks and ....... It is mainly used for the reception of their own and their own enterprises, and mainly for internal reception of customers. It is not illegal land use and construction, and they have gone through all the approval procedures.

After the manor was built, the local villagers had opinions. The reason is that other investment projects introduced can arrange employment for local villagers, and this one, watching the cars in and out, and all of them are good cars, and the villagers can't borrow them. Over time, the opinions are getting bigger and bigger......

We found the village cadres and entrepreneurs together, came up with an idea, and the two hit it off, and received unexpected results.

The manor is in a ditch, with a depth of nearly two kilometers, a width of nearly 200 meters, and more than 200 acres of hillside land.

The entrepreneur paid for the transfer of these lands, with an annual rent of 800 yuan, and then hired villagers to plant sunflowers, mainly dwarf varieties, and many varieties were densely planted, and field sightseeing roads and sightseeing platforms were built and renovated. At the same time, more than 100,000 linden black fungus ...... were placed.

In the countryside close to the big city, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, in a small watershed in such a rural area, there is a small manor in the Nordic architectural style, and the manor is connected by the "boundless" sunflower "sea of flowers" ......

In the first year of planting, "Sea of Flowers" caused a great sensation in the circle. At the beginning, it was the entrepreneur's friends and customers, which turned out to be passive, received and arranged by the entrepreneur's company, and since there was a "sea of flowers", it became an active ....... Slowly, one by ten, ten by hundred, more and more tourists in the society, some photo studios also came to do location shooting .......

The increasing number of tourists in the society has led to the catering and service repair in the village, and the farmhouses have opened one after another, and the appearance of the village, rural homestays, folk customs, etc. have all developed.

You may ask: how can entrepreneurs make a profit by investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in renting land and planting sunflowers every year?

First, when the "sea of flowers" becomes the climate, you can charge tickets, especially for companies and people with special needs such as photo studios, it is normal to charge tickets.

Second, tourist reception. The company combines the "sea of flowers" with the manor, and launches characteristic and high-end tourism projects for high-end people.

Third, outdoor weddings. It is also a combination of Nordic-style manors and "flowers", and launches special outdoor wedding projects for high-end people.

Fourth, income from planting and breeding. Started.

In one or two years, the company is still more interested in this part of the income. ,...... nowIt's all given to the local people.

Fifth, indirect benefits. This is an immeasurable .......

Earn money. Sunflowers can not only produce melon seeds, but also help develop tourism, allowing tourists to take pictures of sunflowers.

Of course, planting sunflowers makes money, and our country consumes a large number of melon seeds every Spring Festival, with a large market and good prospects, and there are many people who usually love to eat melon seeds. There aren't many old varieties now.

It's still quite profitable, about one or two thousand per acre of land. There are still some varieties, and the choice of varieties depends on the region.

At present, the planting area of sunflower in China will be restricted by land diseases, the planting area is gradually decreasing, and the yield is also decreasing, so it is possible to lose money in terms of regional and market demand, and whether it can make money depends on the planting variety and region.

Growing sunflowers for profit and benefit.

If it is edible sunflower, its yield per mu is about 300-400 catties, and the purchase is 7-8 yuan per catty, so that after removing the cost, an acre of land can basically earn about 1000-2000 yuan, and the income is still considerable.

Sunflower high-yield cultivation techniques.

1. Site selection

Sunflowers do not have strict soil requirements, but if you want sunflowers to grow more well, it is best to plant them in areas with fertile soil, which is conducive to increasing sunflower yield and seed oil content.

2. Sow seeds

When sowing sunflowers, it is recommended to choose excellent varieties, which can effectively improve the yield, reduce the empty grains and the current panicle, and recommend the spring closure of Hungary No. 4.

3. Weeding

About three weeks after the emergence of sunflowers, weeding should be carried out, and the seedlings should be thinned and thinned to prevent too many weeds, competing with the plants for nutrients and affecting their growth.

.Sunflowers can be planted in early spring each year after they warm up (the exact month varies by region). Sunflower is very adaptable, has no special requirements for soil and fertility, as long as the soil humus content is average, and the aggregate structure is good, it can grow well

Planting: deep ploughing and raking soil ridge ditching, according to the height of the variety spacing meters to dig the planting pit, the bottom of the pit manure or ash fertilizer, the surface is covered with 3 cm of fine soil and cast two full seeds (seeds must be exposed to the sun and screened), and then covered with 2-3 cm of fine soil.

Fertilization: Affected by the specific temperature and humidity, the seeds can generally produce seedlings in 5-7 days, and when the seedlings grow true leaves, a light manure should be applied; When the flower buds are about to emerge, it is necessary to apply the flowering fertilizer again in time, and the compound fertilizer (when the bottom fertilizer is manure) or nitrogen fertilizer (when the bottom fertilizer is gray fertilizer) can be used for deep application, that is, the fertilization is completed.

Irrigation: If the soil is dry after a long period of drought and no rain, it is necessary to release water into the ditch to moisten the soil after the planting is completed, and the later stage can meet the requirements of "irrigation in case of drought and drainage in case of waterlogging" (because sunflowers are afraid of drought and waterlogging), so as not to cause irreversible yield reduction due to drought and flooding.

Management: Sunflowers grow to the middle stage of the leaves are large and dense, must be weeded in time and remove the old leaves and lateral buds (the side flowers are few and small, which greatly affects the top flowers), so as to facilitate ventilation and sunshine and accumulate nutrients in the main trunk branches. Sunflowers have few pests and diseases.

Post-flowering pollination: Sunflowers can be self-flowering and cross-pollination, in the flowering period to carry out bee pollination or artificial pollination to promote the sunflower flower disc inside and outside the uniform pollination, that is: the adjacent two in the flowering stage (8-10 o'clock is the best) flower disc gently rubbed each other a few times.

Improve quality and yield by reducing deflated seeds...Potted sunflowers:

Sunflowers can also be planted in pots, just use a pot with a diameter of about 30 cm or more, plant in generally more fertile potting soil, and plant in a sunny and leeward place (such as on a balcony, placed in a high place when young, and placed on the ground when you grow up).

There are two problems with growing in pots:

Sunflower leaves are broad, evaporation water is particularly large, in the beginning of the growth to half the size of the need to install a water tray at the bottom of the pot, every day after watering the potting soil also need to fill the water tray (the plate can not be higher than 8 cm), can meet the water demand of a day of sun (you can add some thin fertilizer water in the plate).

Due to the large height of sunflower leaves, planting in a pot will appear top-heavy, and it will turn over in the slightest wind, so it is necessary to tie a drawstring fixed in three directions at the waist of the sunflower to solve the problem.

I once planted a flower pot on the balcony on the sixth floor, planted a tall corn tree (the corn ceiling was already on the top of the balcony) in the above method, and made me two corn cobs, which is very funny, you can also try to grow sunflowers (you will also be seen and laughed)! - In leisure time, it is very meaningful to cultivate, appreciate, and understand the growth process of a plant!

When the sunflower has matured its seeds in the fall, the plant produces death hormones to stop growing and quickly moves into the yellow stage and dies (still in warm tropics).

Wait until mid to late March, choose a sunny place, the soil is fertile, the drainage is good, you can do it, as long as the sun can easily survive.

Guangdong Panyu Million Sunflower Garden. Just listen to the name.

In Tohoku, when you take the train, there are sunflowers as far as the eye can see.
