In recent days, villagers were busy taking care of oilseed rape in Youtang Village, Xiangyindu Subdistrict, Yongxing County.

Oilseed rape is now in the peak period of water and fertilizer demand and in the critical period for future yield. Li Xiaolong, a villager from Youtang Village, was occupied with scientific fertilization, pest control, weeding and other field management operations on his own oilseed rape field to ensure stable production.
“This year, I have planted more than ten mu (0.67 hectares) of oilseed rape. Oilseed rape can bring economic benefits, beautify the rural environment, and attract tourists for sightseeing,” he said.
Oilseed rape cultivation is one of the important agricultural industries in the local area, which can not only improve land utilization and output, but also increase income for villagers. This year, Youtang Village has significantly improved the yield and quality of oilseed rape by strengthening field management and technical guidance. The
oilseed rape is expected to bring considerable benefits to villagers.
Cao Yunhong, chairman of the Women’s Federation of Xiangyindu Subdistrict, said, “Youtang Village has always been committed to developing characteristic agriculture, and oilseed rape planting is also a major highlight. This year, we have strengthened field management and promoted scientific planting technology, with significant results. Next, we will continue to explore new development paths such as rural tourism and create more channels for villagers to increase income in a bid to make Youtang Village a model for rural revitalization,”
