User Experience

1. Won the championship in the 7th Dongming County Watermelon King Competition, with a prize of 20 bags of Nongda fertilizer.

2. Li XX is a locally renowned expert in melon cultivation. In recent years, he has consistently made the finals of every watermelon competition, winning awards each time—yet he has never claimed the top prize. This leaves him feeling deeply frustrated and unwilling to accept it.

In order to win the top prize, after careful research, he discovered that the humic acid fertilizer from the Agricultural University not only loosened the soil and enriched the land but also boosted both the yield and quality of his watermelons. He promptly put it to use—and the result was nothing short of becoming a watermelon-growing king.

He said he would keep at it and aim to win the “Melon King” title every year.
