Basic Introduction of Ledu Potato

Planting potatoes in Ledu County has a long history and can be regarded as a traditional industry. In the past, it mainly relied on it to solve food and clothing problems. Now, through the adjustment of agricultural structure, this old industry has been revitalized and has become a dominant industry for farmers in Ledu County to increase their income and become prosperous. In 2005, the planting area of potato in the county was 200200 mu (including 25100 mu of plastic film potato), accounting for 54% of the total arable land in the county, with a total output of 300000 tons, ranking first among all types of crops. Ledu County is located on the banks of the Huangshui River in eastern Qinghai Province, with a warm and cool climate and long sunshine hours, providing unique natural conditions for the development of potato production. Firstly, the quality of commodity potatoes and seed potatoes in Ledu is good, especially in the 16 townships of Zhongling, Qutan, and Xiaying with high elevations in the north and south mountains. The climate is cool and the soil structure is good, making them the commodity potato base and seed potato base in Ledu County. Secondly, due to the differences in altitude and ecological conditions throughout the county, the cultivation of potatoes in the county is diverse, including double film cultivation in warm sheds in the Chuanshui area, as well as single film cultivation in shallow mountains and Naoshan, which can achieve seasonal marketing of fresh potatoes. Ledu has a good ecological environment, low levels of fertilizer and pesticide use, and produces potatoes with pollution-free characteristics. Thirdly, Ledu is located in the transportation hub of eastern Qinghai, relatively close to the provincial capital Xining and external connections, especially with the 109 National Highway and Lanqing Railway passing through its county town, which has obvious transportation and location advantages. With the continuous improvement of transportation conditions in the province and the completion and opening of the Qinghai Tibet Railway, its advantages will become more prominent.
