Farmers in Yuanping village, Caochuan Town, Pinglu County, Shanxi Province have planted a lot of pepper trees. Because Yuanping village is located in the mountainous area, the landform is crisscross and ravines, the water shortage is unable to irrigate, the growth of pepper trees is slow, and the output of pepper is low in dry years, which affects the income. In addition, when encountering a special drought period, pepper trees often die.

       Yuanping village is the poverty alleviation point of Yuncheng City Administration Bureau. The first Secretary of the poverty alleviation cadres learned that a new technology of promoting plant growth, called "plant conservation pot", or "shubao", can solve the above problems.

     "Shubao" is a new invention of Yuncheng Qinghai science and Technology Co., Ltd., which has obtained Chinese patent and international patent. It is a new technology that can develop economic forest without building water conservancy facilities. There are two main functions, one is to ensure the survival of plants in the dry period, the other is to promote plant growth. The principle is to collect and preserve rainwater, volatilize to the soil in the dry period, maintain the soil moisture, so as to ensure the survival of plants. In addition, because of its use of invalid rainfall, plus the unique function of air permeability of the device, it has a greater role in promoting plants. Over the past two years, the plants used have grown vigorously, which is an ideal product for targeted poverty alleviation and economic development in arid areas. This invention has won the "Houji special award" of the highest award of China Yangling agricultural hi tech achievements Expo. It is a revolutionary invention with water saving, fertilizer saving, small investment and great effect, especially suitable for use in dry areas. The installation of Shubao can speed up the small trees to reach the full fruit period as soon as possible, improve the output of pepper, and get more profits as soon as possible.

      After investigation, the first Secretary of the village reported to the leaders of the unit, which was highly valued by Yuncheng Urban Management Bureau. After collective research by the leading group, it was decided to purchase 3000 sets of "Shubao" and distribute them to poor households. On March 13, 2020, the first 1500 sets of "Shubao" were sent to farmers, and Zhao Shuhai, the inventor of "Shubao" was invited to teach technology on site, which was welcomed by farmers. This technology has a high input-output ratio and is a good way to increase agricultural income.
