Năm nay, gia đình anh Đỗ Mạnh Hà ở thị trấn Văn Giang chuẩn bị khoảng 300 chậu bưởi cảnh các loại để phục vụ thị trường cuối năm. Dẫn chúng tôi vào thăm vườn bưởi lúc lỉu quả trong tán lá, anh Hà chia sẻ: Nếu để tự nhiên, chỉ khoảng 30% số quả trên cây đạt tiêu chuẩn vì vậy phải ghép bổ sung. Tùy vào kích cỡ cây mà số lượng quả ghép sẽ khác nhau, dao động 200 – 400 quả/cây to và 100 – 150 quả/cây nhỏ. Năm nay, tôi mua trên 4 vạn quả từ các nhà vườn thuộc các tỉnh Hòa Bình và Tuyên Quang để về ghép cho vườn bưởi của gia đình.
Farmers in Van Giang town graft fruit onto ornamental grapefruit trees
Fruit grafting season on ornamental grapefruit trees is usually done by gardeners from around April to May of the lunar calendar. Fruits are selected for grafting when they are young, round, weighing about 2.5 - 3 ounces, with large stems. After picking, young fruits need to be grafted onto the "mother" tree as soon as possible, and appropriate monitoring and care measures must be taken. Mr. Nguyen Van Tinh in AB Quang Trach village, Lien Nghia commune said: If grafted fruit is not taken care of carefully, it can fall at any time. After grafting the fruit onto the tree, cover it with a sun hat and water regularly and fertilize every 15-20 days to prevent the tree from being "overfed".
The time for grafting fruit to the mother tree only takes about 1 month, in sunny weather conditions. To ensure seasonal availability, large-scale garden owners often hire more joiners at a cost ranging from 600,000 - 700,000 VND/person/day.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tinh in Tan Tien commune - a fruit grafter said: Our team has 4-7 people, of which the male workers are in charge of grafting the fruits, and the female workers cover the fruits with hats to protect them from the sun. This season, the weather is hot so we often start work at 6 am and finish late in the afternoon. If I work regularly, I can earn about 20 million VND a month.
In localities with large areas of planting seedlings and ornamental plants in the district, many teams of workers specializing in this work have been formed. Mr. Nguyen Van Xuyen, Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Lien Nghia commune, said: From many years of experience in grafting seedlings, local people have researched and successfully implemented the technique of grafting fruit onto trees. Currently, the entire commune has about 100 groups of workers specializing in grafting for gardeners in the district and many other provinces and cities. These groups of workers are mostly men. The income from this profession is very good, on average 600,000 - 700,000 VND/workday/worker. If you work as a contractor, the salary is 3,000 - 4,000 VND/grafted grapefruit. A skilled worker can earn 1 million VND/day.
After grafting, the grapefruit is covered with a sun hat
With nearly 20 years of experience, Mr. Hoang Mai Giang in Lien Nghia commune shares: Doing this job must be meticulous and careful in each operation. In order for the grafted fruit to develop normally, the worker needs to skillfully graft the fruit stem onto the branch or branch of the tree precisely and proportionally. When forced, the plastic bag must be tightened at the graft wound. If the fruit grafting process is not up to standard, the grapefruit will fall off in a short time.
Currently, Van Giang district has about 150 hectares of ornamental grapefruit concentrated mainly in Lien Nghia commune, Long Hung commune and Van Giang town... Mr. Nguyen Hoang Tung, Head of the district's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said. : Fruit grafting is an extremely important step that determines the quality of ornamental grapefruit trees as well as the year-end crop income. Gardeners need to take advantage of favorable weather days and when the grapefruit is still young and not yet in water to do this. This year the weather has many adverse developments for the growth and development of plants, so gardeners need to actively monitor to promptly adjust care regimes and promptly prevent pests and diseases...
