In recent years, the black-skinned wax gourd industry in Shanglin County has developed rapidly.

In the summer of 2020, a sudden yellow leaf disease of black-skinned wax gourd swept across Shanglin County, and the black-skinned wax gourd in the county was wiped out

At that time, as the science and technology commissioner of impoverished villages in Shanglin County, Wu Yongguan was carrying out scientific and technological service work in Shanglin County.

The economic loss of the masses is so serious, how to make full use of their professional knowledge to help the masses solve their problems? Wu Yongguan and his colleagues formed a scientific and technological service team, frequently visited various villages in Shanglin County, surveyed and sampled in different black-skinned wax gourd fields, collected relevant data, and then returned to the laboratory to investigate the cause from both physiological and pathological aspects.

In 2021, according to the soil quality and climatic conditions of Shanglin County, Wu Yongguan and his colleagues will use the researched technology to screen out high-yield, high-quality, stress-resistant and adaptable winter melon varieties suitable for cultivation in Shanglin County.

In early winter, in the contiguous black-skinned wax gourd fields in Weidi Village of Chengtai Township and Yunyao Village of Sanli Town, there are huge, dark and evenly growing black-skinned wax gourds hanging from rows of shelves.

"In the past, I could not control the yellow leaf disease of black-skinned wax gourd according to my own planting techniques.

Wu Yongguan said that in the next step, relying on the scientific and technological project "Introduction of new varieties of black-skinned wax gourd in Shanglin County, and integrated innovation and demonstration of standardized high-yield and efficient cultivation techniques", we will promote the sustainable and healthy development of the black-skinned wax gourd industry in Shanglin County, increase farmers' income, and improve farmers' income.
