By helping farmers drill motor-pumped wells, 100% of the arable land in Chinese cabbage production areas was converted to irrigated land, which greatly motivated farmers to grow cabbage. In addition, farmers continuously applied more manure, improved cultivation techniques, and adopted various planting methods such as intercropping and multiple cropping, increasing the number of plants per unit area. Enhanced field management also led to significant improvements in both the yield and quality of the cabbage.
