Crab Army as Natural Herbicide
What you are seeing is an army of natural herbicides. These critters are Panjin River Crabs.
Farmers introduce them to the rice fields early in the growing season, just as the rice plants begin to take root.
Why crabs, you ask? Well, these crablings play a crucial role. As they grow, they help keep the fields healthy by eating pests and weeds, which means farmers can use fewer pesticides. Plus, their natural movement aerates the soil, boosting rice growth!
The rice plants get a cleaner, richer environment to grow in, while the crabs thrive in the nutrient-rich waters. It’s a win-win situation that favors the farmer.
When the crabs reach the right size, it’s harvest time! Farmers use ingenious traps that catch them without much effort. The crabs are later sorted by size and quality, ensuring only the best make it to market.
