On a summer afternoon, at the yam planting base in Shangban Village, Nanyang Township, Ruichang City, Jiangxi Province, farmer Xu Xunlin was busy checking the growth of yam. At present, the growth is good, and the pests and diseases of the past have been resolved. There is hope for a bumper harvest this year, "said Xu Xunlin. Ruichang yam is a national geographical indication agricultural product with a cultivation history of nearly 500 years.

According to Xu Xunlin from Ruichang Integrated Media Center, "If it takes another two or three months, we can start excavating." This year, he also specially planted 5 acres of green organic yam, using a method of planting without pesticides and applying organic fertilizers. Not only that, on the basis of retaining traditional planting methods, Xu Xunlin also adopted the method of digging holes for planting, which helps yam grow better. The method of planting by digging holes not only improves the appearance of yam, but also increases the yield relatively. At present, more than 40 acres of yam are planted in the base, and it is expected that each acre can produce more than 2000 kilograms of yam. The output value of the base is expected to exceed 1 million yuan this year Xu Xunlin said.
