Bian Mountain Cowpeas

　　Since the early 1990s, Liji Town in Wanning City, Hainan Province, has been cultivating winter vegetables, gradually developing into a key winter vegetable production hub in the city. Among them, the cowpeas from Sanxing Village have become a model not only for Wanning but also for the entire province.

　　　　In June 2010, Sanxing Village established the “Wanning Sanxing Cowpea Planting Professional Cooperative,” thereby improving agricultural product quality and promoting standardized farming practices. The Hainan Provincial Department of Agriculture and the Wanning Municipal Government invested 300,000 yuan to support the cooperative in establishing a unified pest and disease control command center. They also subsidized the promotion of a range of biopesticides and highly effective, low-toxicity chemical pesticides, helping to establish the quality brand of “Bian Mountain Cowpeas.” By implementing green pest control technologies, the demonstration area achieved significant results in managing cowpea pests and diseases, ensuring product quality. In September of the same year, the Bian Mountain Cowpea planting area in Sanxing Village was designated as a Hainan Provincial Green Unified Pest and Disease Control Demonstration Base for Winter Vegetable Cultivation.
