B |     “云大哥，听说你家葡萄比去年下果早，4月上旬就能上市，我先预定着，到时给我多发点儿货。你家的葡萄个头大、肉质饱满、口感好，消费者特别满意。

C | ”3月23日，广东的李先生给兴城市望海满族乡葡萄种植户云中全打来电话，提前订好货。         云中全（右）正在查看葡萄长势。         55岁的云中全种植葡萄多年，经验丰富，技术成熟，是侍弄葡萄的好手。

D | 至今年，他家共建了27座大棚，其中，22座大棚种植茉莉香葡萄，5座大棚种植阳光玫瑰葡萄。“这些葡萄都是新品种，品质上乘，在市场上销路很好。迎合市场走向，产业的发展空间才越来越宽广。

E | ”          葡萄比较“娇气”，在其生长过程中，棚间管理必须到位。云中全肯吃苦、管理精细。他与5名工人长期在葡萄架下钻来钻去，把每一个细微处都照顾到。

F | “萌芽、出枝、开花、稀果、下果等必须面面俱到，像照顾孩子一样精心。

G | 管理得当，收获时，葡萄秧会给一个满意的答案。”          提及稀果，云中全说，正常情况下，一串葡萄上会结100颗左右的果。如果任其发展，果实将大小不一，且由于阳光照射不均匀、其他营养吸收不均衡，势必会导致品质不佳。稀完果后，一串葡萄上保持60颗果，就避免了以上的毛病，果品非常好，在市场上的竞争力也较强。         正常情况下，大棚内的温度都于11月份左右升温，有利于葡萄生长。为了适应市场需求，迅速占领市场，卖出好价位，从去年开始，云中全利用新技术，于去年10月10日就开始给大棚升温，目前，大棚内的温度均保持在27度左右，葡萄秧郁郁葱葱，果实饱满，且已经“上色”。

H | “往年都是五一前后上市，今年能提前半个多月，估计能卖个好价钱，比下果旺季多两倍左右。

I | ”          云中全家的大棚，有两种规模，一个长150米，另一个长110米，两者宽均为10米，共占地50多亩。去年，他家的葡萄产值近150万元。

J | “看这势头，产值肯定比去年多。想想这些，浑身有使不完的劲儿，嘴角忍不住上扬。

K | ”          望海满族乡共种植葡萄近1000亩，大棚200多座，分布在黑庄村、朱家村、曲河村等地。去年，葡萄产量近300万斤，除了销往本地及周边外，还深受河北、广东、江西等地的客商赞誉，产值1500万元左右。以目前的产业规模及发展态势，产值将比去年有明显提升。         “乡党委政府继续做好广大种植户的参谋和助手，不断优化营商环境，及时将党的好政策向他们传达，并提供先进的种植技术，靠前指导，暖心服务，不遗余力地搭建管产销一体化平台，让种植户心无旁骛搞生产，让全乡的葡萄产业‘亮晶晶’，让望海葡萄的品牌叫得更响。”望海满族乡党委副书记孙亮说。
