Fruit growers across the country have carried out their yearly production plan and reaped a rich harvest by doing scientific farming in the face of unfavourable weather conditions including long spells of drought and heat.
Fruit farms acclimatized superior strains in keeping with their natural and geographical conditions, set up a production cycle combining fruit farming and animal husbandry and a dripping irrigation system and produced organic compound fertilizer and agricultural chemicals by relying on locally-available raw materials to improve the nutritive conditions of fruit trees and prevent damage from blight.
Kwail County, South Hwanghae Province, made a phenomenal success in fruit production this year.
It raised soil fertility by making large quantities of manure at six pig farms and a good quality fertilizer with over 90 000 tons of peat and established a scientific cultivation method of producing over 50 tons of apple per hectare, thereby increasing per hectare yield of fruits 2.5 times as against last year, particularly 5.8 times for apple. And lots of peach, apple and other fruits were supplied to Pyongyang people.
The Taedonggang Combined Fruit Farm produced thousands of tons of more apples than last year by managing the nutrition of trees and manuring and cultivating them in line with technical requirements and by widely introducing advanced techniques.
The Kosan Combined Fruit Farm also increased crop yields by expanding the area of the high-yield variety of dwarf apple tree and rationally combining early-maturing, intermediate and late-maturing varieties to overcome seasonal lopsidedness of production.
Farms under the fruit management bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture conducted a dynamic emulation drive, with the result that they turned out over 13 600 tons of fruits more than last year.
The Kosong Fruit Farm introduced a variety of advanced farming methods and made and applied highly efficient vegetable agrochemicals to carry out its annual fruit production plan at 192 percent.
The Pukchong County Fruit Farm Management Committee in South Hamgyong Province supplied various fertilizers based on soil analyses and put all farming processes on technological basis, thereby overfulfilling its production plan by 54 percent.
The Onchon Fruit Farm, which has replaced tens of thousands of trees with virusless fruit tree saplings it produces every year, applied several technical innovation plans into production to ensure stable harvest, thus producing over 900 tons of more fruit than planned.
The Sariwon and Hochon fruit farms increased the production more than 1.3 times respectively as compared to last year by introducing scientific manuring methods based on the amounts of nutrients demanded by each tree and natural biological activators and soil improving agents.
The Toksong Apple Farm and Songhan, Tongnim and dozens of other fruit farms cultivated trees in line with specific soil conditions and biological characteristics to hit annual production targets.
