Chapter 137 Strategies for Disease Prevention and Pest Control
Good strategies for disease prevention and pest control
Su Yunlan's heart jumped into her throat. She quickly ran to a fruit tree that had begun to rot and examined it carefully.
The once lush green leaves are now covered with brown spots, and they fall off with a gentle touch, revealing the bare branches.
A nauseating, putrid stench filled the air, making people dizzy and disoriented.
"This disease is spreading rapidly and is more serious than we imagined!" Su Yunlan's expression turned serious.
Xiao Yuhan followed closely behind. Looking at the tragic scene before him, he frowned, walked to Su Yunlan's side, gently placed his large hand on her shoulder, and comforted her in a steady voice: "Don't panic, Yunlan, we will definitely find a solution."
Su Yunlan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She knew this was not the time to panic; she had to find a way to control the pests and diseases as soon as possible, or the entire orchard would be finished.
"Yuhan, let's split up." Su Yunlan quickly made a decision. "You help me calm everyone down, especially Chen Guonong, and don't let him do anything foolish. I'll go and take a closer look at these fruit trees and see if I can find any clues."
Xiao Yuhan nodded. He knew that time was of the essence, and every moment of delay would result in greater losses for the orchard.
"Okay, be careful."
Su Yunlan dared not delay. She endured the pungent smell and carefully examined each tree, trying to find the source of the pests and diseases.
She carefully observed the leaves, the trunk, and even the soil.
However, as time passed, she still couldn't find any valuable clues.
She tried to use her knowledge of plant pathology from her previous life to prepare some simple medicines in the hope of suppressing the spread of pests and diseases.
However, these pesticides, when sprayed on the fruit trees, seemed to sink without a trace, having no effect whatsoever.
Looking at the fruit trees that were rapidly withering, Chen Guonong was completely dejected.
He slumped to the ground, limp and lifeless, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost all hope.
"It's no use, it's no use, everything is over..." he muttered to himself, his voice filled with despair.
Seeing her father like this, Miss Sun felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
She wanted to comfort her father, but didn't know what to say.
She could only stand silently to the side, tears streaming down her face.
Young Master Xiao also stood aside, anxiously watching Su Yunlan.
He really wanted to help, but didn't know where to start.
He could only clutch the booklet tightly in his hands, hoping to find some useful information from it.
Researcher Zhao stood at a distance, observing everything with a detached eye.
A mocking smile played on his lips, as if to say, "I knew it. How could a woman like her possibly save this orchard?"
Looking at the despairing scene before him, Su Yunlan felt immense pressure.
She knew that if she couldn't find a solution, not only would Chen Guonong's family lose everything, but the reputation of the entire Xiao family would also be affected.
She gritted her teeth and secretly vowed to find a solution no matter what.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Su Yunlan suddenly remembered that he had the advantage of having a spatial ability.
Perhaps there are some special supplies in the space that can help her solve her current predicament.
"Yuhan, Seventeenth Brother, please look after this place for me. I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest for a bit," Su Yunlan said, trying to appear calm.
Xiao Yuhan looked at Su Yunlan with concern, "Okay, go and rest, I'll take care of things here."
Su Yunlan nodded and turned to walk towards her room.
After closing the door, Su Yunlan quickly slipped into the space.
She took a deep breath and began searching the space.
Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a herb that emitted a faint glow...
She murmured to herself, "What is this?"
As Su Yunlan stepped into the space, the putrid smell of the outside world was instantly replaced by the fresh scent of earth.
She had no time to appreciate this pristine place; her eyes were sharp as she scanned the dazzling array of supplies in the space.
Grain, medicinal herbs, tools...
These were her and the Xiao family's guarantees to get through the crisis, but now, what she needed was hope to save the fruit trees.
Suddenly, a herb emitting a faint silver glow came into her view.
The herb's leaves were heart-shaped with serrated edges, and under the light, they seemed to be coated with a holy glow.
Su Yunlan had never seen this herb before, but she could sense that it contained a powerful life force.
She carefully walked forward, squatted down, and examined the herb closely.
Its rhizomes are rooted in fertile soil, emitting a faint fragrance that is refreshing and invigorating.
"What exactly is this?" Su Yunlan murmured to herself, her heart filled with doubt.
Her instincts as a military doctor quickly calmed her down. She picked a leaf, held it to her nose, and gently inhaled its fragrance. A cool scent instantly filled her nostrils, invigorating her.
She tried to draw upon all the medical knowledge in her mind to identify the origin of the herb.
A moment later, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and a bold idea emerged in her mind: "Perhaps, we can try using it!"
She acted quickly, uprooting the herbs and carefully holding them in her hands, afraid of damaging them in the slightest.
She strode to the herb processing area in the space, skillfully cleaned the herbs, and then mixed them with several other herbs with antibacterial and disinfecting properties in a certain proportion.
She wanted to create a special medicine, a hope that could suppress the spread of pests and diseases and save the orchard!
Leaving the space, Su Yunlan strode to Xiao Yuhan's side and tightly grasped his hand.
Her palms were slightly damp, but full of strength.
"Yuhan, I have a plan!" she said firmly.
Xiao Yuhan felt the warmth of Su Yunlan's palm, and then tightly grasped her hand in return. His eyes were deep and gentle, as if he could see through her inner thoughts.
"I believe in you, Yunlan." His voice was deep and powerful, giving her boundless trust and support.
Su Yunlan grasped Xiao Yuhan's hand in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, which strengthened her resolve.
She turned her head and looked at Chen Guonong, who was slumped on the ground not far away. "Chen Guonong, don't give up! We still have hope!"
She took a deep breath, walked up to the crowd, and said in a loud voice, "I have found a way to solve the pest problem. Next, we need to do this..." Her voice echoed through the orchard, bringing a glimmer of hope to the desperate people.
Researcher Zhao stood at a distance, watching Su Yunlan's confident demeanor, a disdainful smile on his face.
He shook his head and snorted coldly, "Hmph, all pretense! I'd like to see what tricks she has up her sleeve!"
Su Yunlan ignored Researcher Zhao's sarcasm and walked aside to begin preparing the medicine.
She mixed the herbs and other medicinal materials she brought out of the space together and formulated them in a certain proportion.
Her movements were practiced and focused, like those of a seasoned pharmacist.
Soon, a bucket of potion emitting a faint fragrance was prepared.
She poured the pesticide into the sprayer, then walked to a fruit tree and began spraying it.
The mist from the pesticide slowly drifted into the air, enveloping the entire fruit tree.
A faint fragrance filled the air, making people feel refreshed.
After the pesticide was sprayed, Su Yunlan straightened up and quietly observed the changes in the fruit trees.
Time passed second by second, but the fruit trees seemed to show no reaction.
Looking at the fruit trees that showed no signs of improvement, Chen Guonong's eyes were filled with despair once again.
Suddenly, Young Master Xiao exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, look!"
Su Yunlan looked over upon hearing the sound and saw that the leaves on the fruit tree that had been sprayed with the pesticide had stopped rotting and even showed signs of reviving!
"This..." Upon seeing this scene, Researcher Zhao's mockery froze instantly, replaced by deep shock.
He stared wide-eyed at the fruit tree that was changing, as if he were witnessing something incredible.
Looking at the fruit trees that were changing, Su Yunlan's heart was filled with hope.
She knew her method was effective!
If we persevere, we will definitely be able to completely control the spread of pests and diseases and save the entire orchard!
She turned her head to look at Xiao Yuhan, but Xiao Yuhan's expression was somewhat solemn. His eyes were fixed on the sprayer in Su Yunlan's hand, as if he had discovered something unusual.
"Yunlan, this potion of yours..." Xiao Yuhan began slowly, then hesitated.
Su Yunlan poured the prepared medicine into the sprayer, ready to begin the experiment.
Researcher Zhao stood by and watched coldly, arms crossed, a disdainful smile on his face.
"Hmph, all that charlatanry! I'll see what kind of miraculous effects your so-called potion can have!"
Miss Sun couldn't stand Researcher Zhao's arrogant attitude and angrily stood up to retort, "Researcher Zhao, what gives you the right to say that? Madam Su has put in so much effort to save the orchard, yet you slander her without even knowing the facts. That's going too far!"
Researcher Zhao glanced at Miss Sun with disdain and said arrogantly, "What does a little girl know? I've studied fruit trees for many years. What kind of pests and diseases haven't I seen? What kind of tricks could a woman like her have?"
“You…” Miss Sun’s face turned red with anger, but she didn’t know how to refute him.
Su Yunlan patted Miss Sun's hand, signaling her to calm down, and then calmly said to Researcher Zhao, "Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Instead of arguing here, let's wait for the results."
Su Yunlan ignored Researcher Zhao and began spraying pesticide on several fruit trees with minor disease.
The medicine emitted a faint herbal aroma that permeated the air.
Time ticked by, and everyone held their breath, watching intently as the fruit trees were sprayed with pesticide.
Gradually, a miracle happened!
The once withered leaves began to recover, and the brown spots gradually faded away.
The branches of the fruit trees regained their vitality, and the putrid smell in the air was gradually replaced by a fresh herbal fragrance.
"This...how is this possible?!" Researcher Zhao stared wide-eyed, looking at everything that was happening in front of him in disbelief.
He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.
The fruit farmers exclaimed in amazement, their faces beaming with joy.
They excitedly surrounded Su Yunlan, praising her all at once: "Madam Su is truly amazing! This potion is incredible!"
Seeing the joyful expressions on everyone's faces, Su Yunlan felt a great sense of accomplishment.
But she was not blinded by victory.
She went back to the severely diseased fruit trees and carefully observed the changes in them.
She discovered that although the pesticide could suppress the spread of pests and diseases, the effect was not lasting.
"It seems we need to find a more thorough solution," Su Yunlan muttered to herself, her brows furrowing slightly.
Xiao Yuhan walked to Su Yunlan's side, gently took her hand, and said softly, "Yunlan, you have done very well. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Su Yunlan looked up and saw Xiao Yuhan's concerned eyes, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
She nodded slightly, then turned to look at Young Master Xiao Seventeen and said, "Seventeenth Brother, come here for a moment, I have something to discuss with you..."
