Zhu Youyong: Change the fate of farmers with knowledge

, he was a "farmer" busy growing winter potatoes in the village of Lahu Autonomous Prefecture in the southwestern border region. Five days later, on November 29th, he received an award in Beijing to become a model for the nation. For more than 30 years, he has developed a large-scale application of crop diversity control pest and disease technology, which has accumulated more than 300 million mu, and has become a successful example of the international use of biodiversity to control pests and diseases. In the past 5 years, he has worked hard in Yunnan Pu'er Lancang Lahu Autonomous County to help the poor, so that thousands of farmers learn winter potato, forest 37 and other planting skills, driving a group of deep poverty in the Lahu people out of poverty and get rich.
is Zhu Youyong, president of
Chinese Academy of Engineering and honorary president of Yunnan Agricultural University.in a newly planted potato field next to the village of Lahu, Zhang six equal three Lahu villagers stood on the edge of the ground with their hoes in their hands, listening att to an old man with all their attention. The old man crouched on the ground, holding the bamboo pole in his hand, while using the bamboo pole to measure the plot, while patiently explaining how to regulate potato cultivation. The old man crouched tired, then naturally right leg kneeling in the dirt, smiling repeatedly explained the demonstration. On the side of the Yunshan Village Party General branch of the first
Zhaohui moved to use his mobile phone to capture this precious moment. The scene took place on the morning of November 19 at the Artemisinin Branch Dam Village Group in Yunshan Village, Zhutang Township, Lancang County. The 65-year-old is zhu
.
In 2016, Zhu Youyong led the experts of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the innovation team of Yunnan Agricultural University to carry out 100 mu of winter potato demonstration planting in Lancang Zhutang Township Artemisinin Branch Dam. Zhu Youyong team also applied the scientific and technological achievements under the forest, in Lancang demonstration planting 7305 mu, driving 37 planting farmers 749 households, an average increase of more than 25,000 yuan per household.2015, the Chinese Academy of Engineering to help Lancang County to carry out anti-poverty efforts, meeting to discuss which
to take the lead in this task. At that time, 60-year-old Zhu Youyong decided to say: "I am the youngest, I will do!"
Zhu Youyong took his team to Yunshan Village, Zhutang Township, Lancang County, to set up a science and technology yard in the village, moved the laboratory to the field head, and for 5 years with the local villagers to eat and live and work together. In the process of promoting the cultivation of winter potatoes and other crops at the base, he found that the quality poverty of the rural masses was outstanding. So he integrated Yunnan Agricultural University teachers and Lancang vocational teachers team, founded the
science and technology poverty alleviation guidance class. The students are farmers from the townships of the county who have the desire to get out of poverty and get rich, and the classroom is located in the fields. From the selection of good planting, to pest control and other field management, from harvesting packaging to product promotion, by Zhu Youyong and other
professor experts personally taught. The teacher, like the students, was dressed in camouflage.
Ju
is amiable to farmers, no shelves, many students trained to go home, not only their own winter potatoes and forest three or seven, but also drive the whole village together to plant, together to increase income and poverty relief. Zhutang Township Elder Five said. Over the past three years, Lancang
experts in science and technology poverty alleviation guidance courses have been carried out under the forest 37, winter potatoes, e-commerce and other training courses, training nearly a thousand rich leaders.
"We are teachers, no money, to teach scientific and technological knowledge to farmers, teach them to develop industries out of poverty and get rich, nothing great. Zhu said with a faint smile." to write the paper on the earth, more valuable than writing on paper, see their own scientific and technological achievements all over the mountains flowering results, the heart of satisfaction, is published papers can not be compared! Zhu Youyong often said.
more than 30 years, Zhu has been studying biodiversity control pests and diseases research and other major topics. The research results, published in full on the cover of nature under the title "The Theory of Rice Genetic Diversity Control of Rice Plague", became the first article published in this journal by the new Chinese plant protection community. He built the rice variety diversity control rice pestilence technology system cumulatively spread the application of more than 10 million mu, crop diversity control pest control technology to promote the application of more than 60 million mu, large-area application accumulated more than 300 million mu, reduce pesticide use more than 50%, is considered to be the international use of biodiversity to control pests and diseases successful model. He built a high-quality and efficient technology system for winter potatoes, and since 2008 has promoted a total of 11.312 million mu, promoting farmers to increase income by more than 20 billion yuan.
Zhu is not famous for helping the poor. More than a week ago, he learned that he had been recognized as a model of the times when he was instructing farmers to grow winter potatoes at various village bases in Lancang. He continued to guide potato cultivation calmly, and at the urging of many parties, a few days later he had to leave Lancang for Beijing to receive his prize.
Zhu Youyong is not good for poverty alleviation. Long-term follow Zhu Youyong in Lancang poverty alleviation Dr. Huang Huichuan told a story, in Lancang began to promote the forest under the three seven planting technology, the poverty alleviation team at first there are two voices, some people think that the study of the forest three seven spent more than 10 years is not easy, should be technology confidential, through technology transfer profit. But Zhu Youyong insisted on free use of technology for the common people, he said: "Can't we get rich, the common people can't use." In
2011, Zhu Youyong was elected to the Chinese Academy of Engineering
, Yunnan Agricultural University specially awarded him 2 million yuan, he decided to use the school bonus as the original fund to set up Yunnan Agricultural University", "The Brave Award Foundation." In 2015, he donated 2 million yuan to the Foundation for the Outstanding Contribution of Science and Technology in Yunnan Province, which inspired more teachers and students to learn from agriculture and agriculture and to serve the three farmers.
