Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 573 Spraying operation!

After Wang Lu expressed his request, the old man on the other end of the phone responded immediately:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will personally take care of this matter. If a patriotic entrepreneur like you has any difficulties, you should raise them more often!"

Just by relying on the patents on new varieties of rice, corn and other food crops cultivated by Wang Lu, which have played a huge role in the country's food strategy, and the development rights of the helium field, Wang Lu can really deserve the title of patriotic entrepreneur. .

After this level of intervention, the customs declaration procedures for this batch of domestic Metarhizium anisopliae were quickly processed through the green channel.

A cargo flight stopped at Shanghai International Airport, specifically to transfer the Metarhizium anisopliae produced by several domestic biological companies that worked overtime.

The production rhythm of several biological companies was also disrupted by this order. After all, this kind of biological control product is still a new product in the current market, and the demand is not large, so they only have some inventory.

But Wang Lu gave too much, which made all these biological companies feel like they were given a shot of chicken blood. They began to organize their employees to work overtime and start production.

Wang Lu even considered that if these domestic biological companies were unwilling to expand production, he would directly temporarily acquire a biological company to provide himself with these Metarhizium anisopliae...
Of course, the efficiency of these domestic biological companies did not disappoint Wang Lu. They completed the order stocking within a week. If it were a foreign biological company, they might not even have time to restart the production line.

The cargo flight parked at Shanghai International Airport officially took off after being loaded with Metarhizium anisopliae, heading for the ranch.

Wang Lu also personally picked up the plane at Kilimanjaro Airport and watched with his own eyes as a large number of finished products of Metarhizium anisopliae were transported and then transported to the ranch.

These Metarhizium anisopliae powders are used as finished products, which also facilitates subsequent sowing operations. General agricultural aircraft can undertake its sowing operations and can directly fill these Metarhizium anisopliae powders into the medicine cabin.

"Boss, I heard that these things are grown from potatoes!"

Parker was also amazed.

While waiting for the arrival of these Metarhizium anisopliae, Wang Lu also did some homework and learned some information about Metarhizium anisopliae.

These spores of Metarhizium anisopliae can easily attach to the skin internodes of insects, such as locusts. As long as they encounter a suitable temperature, they can germinate quickly. The mycelium can directly invade the locust's epidermis and continue to invade the locusts. growth and development in the body.

It continues to invade the fat tissue and muscles of the locust, and the hyphae multiply in the locust's body, causing the death of the locust.

It's just that this process takes a while, and while waiting for the Metarhizium anisopliae to take effect and kill the locusts, it is enough for the adult locusts to gnaw clean the crops in the entire pasture.

Therefore, although Metarhizium anisopliae also has a killing effect on adult locusts, it is of little significance.

However, for those locust eggs that have not yet hatched, the role of Metarhizium anisopliae can be great. Metarhizium anisopliae can cause the locust eggs to die naturally before they have time to hatch...
After these Metarhizium anisopliae bacteria were transferred to the pasture, the pasture officially started operating.

The AT-402B agricultural aircraft and two AC-313 firefighting helicopters had already been prepared.

While waiting for the transfer of Metarhizium anisopliae, the AT-402B has also been equipped with a special medicine cabin. As for the two AC313 helicopters, they are equipped with fire-fighting cabins that can load flame retardants and can be put into use directly.The veterans were also busy filling a large amount of Metarhizium anisopliae powder into the spray cabins of the three aircraft. These gray-green powders can be directly mixed with water and sprayed as easily as ordinary pesticides, as long as they are configured according to the proportion.

You know, these gray-green powders contain tens of billions of Metarhizium anisopliae spores per gram!
Soon, after completing the preliminary preparations, the two AC-313 firefighting helicopters took off first, each rushing to their own operating areas. The AT-402B, driven by Parker, took off roaring after a run-up on the simple runway of the ranch. .

Wang Lu also watched with his own eyes through the telescope that the chemical formed by mixing Metarhizium anisopliae powder with water was evenly sprayed on the grassland, and he felt a little relieved.

As for the grassland near the living area, veterans carry spraying cans on their backs for manual spraying.

After all, although airplane spraying is more convenient, it will inevitably have some impact on normal daily life in the living area.

Although this thing is harmless to humans and animals, it is better not to come into contact with it as much as possible. After all, you can't be cooking by yourself. Why don't you just spray some powder on the plane to make a meal?
Moreover, the manufacturer also specifically reminded that direct contact with the skin may cause allergic reactions. Naturally, Wang Lu would not make such a mistake.

In the next two or three days, two firefighting helicopters and one agricultural jet aircraft took off and landed almost continuously, loading and spraying, striving to cover the entire pasture with Metarhizium anisopliae as soon as possible and destroy the entire pasture. Those locust eggs underneath act as a killer.

Wang Lushun also paid attention to the situation near the town of Baria.

Obviously, the laying of eggs by desert locusts has also attracted the attention of the local government, and their response is also very simple, that is, spraying chemical pesticides directly.

There is no way they can do what Wang Lu did and purchase Metarhizium anisopliae powder that costs much more than ordinary chemical pesticides to destroy those locust eggs.

There was nothing Wang Lu could do about it. As long as the local government was doing its job and not allowing the locust eggs to hatch, he would be thankful.

Otherwise, even if the control on your own ranch is successful, it will still be in vain if the locust eggs in the surrounding areas are successfully hatched!

Of course, after ensuring the usage of his own pasture, Wang Lu was not stingy. The extra Metarhizium anisopliae powder was also donated to the Serengeti National Park next door for free.

In order to ensure that there was enough Metarhizium anisopliae, Wang Lu reported a higher purchase quantity. As a result, the remaining Metarhizium anisopliae powder was enough to spread over an area of ​​a pasture.

However, Wang Lu also requested that this batch of supported Metarhizium anisopliae powder must be spread in the area bordering Serengeti National Park and his own ranch.

This can also prevent the Serengeti National Park from directly spraying chemical pesticides, which will affect the ecological environment of the ranch. It can also be regarded as establishing a barrier for the ranch.

Even when the other party said that there were not enough spraying planes, Wang Lu was very considerate and used the ranch's planes to spread the seeds for those guys in Serengeti National Park. It was really heartbreaking...
