Double-Cropping Film-Covered Peanuts in Zhuxi

Double-Cropping Film-Covered Peanuts in Zhuxi

　　Peanuts (including Cocoa Vanilla, Tianfu No. 9, and Red Seed) have been a traditional and advantageous industry in our town for over 20 years and are also one of our main cash crops. To accelerate the adjustment of the agricultural industrial structure, further increase the planting area of cash crops, and promote agricultural efficiency, farmers' income growth, and rural development, the double-cropping film-covered peanuts in Zhuxi were invented in 2002 by Chen Rencai, a villager from Foyan Village in the former Shaba Township. In 2003, they were planted on a large scale in the former Shaba Township, piloted in Baochong Village, Zhuxi Town in 2004, and have gradually expanded in scale up to the present. They feature a short planting cycle, high yield, and good quality, allowing farmers to flexibly adjust the crops grown on their land, significantly improving land use efficiency and bringing greater income to farmers. In 2008, it was listed as a Ministry of Agriculture ten-thousand-mu demonstration base. Our town implemented the planting of high-quality, high-yield ten-thousand-mu demonstration peanut plots in Baochong, Wusheng, Guancang, Baima, Shuangtan, Xiaba, Xiongjiaping, and Foyan villages, among which 3,000 mu of double-cropping film-covered peanuts and 10,000 mu of high-quality peanuts have been planted. Currently, our town's ten-thousand-mu peanut demonstration base is applying to be recognized as a pollution-free agricultural product base.
