Father and son Tran Minh Tung together take care of the vineyard. Photo:N.Son It is said that in Tan Hanh Ward there is a Ha Den vineyard planted in a safe way, many curious Bien Hoa people have come to Mr. Tung’s vineyard both to satisfy their curiosity and to save money. images with clusters of grapes laden with fruit. * Work and learn at the same time Introduced by friends, Ha Den grape is a grape variety with outstanding advantages compared to other grape varieties being grown in Vietnam such as: healthy growth, fast to harvest, sweet fruit, mild aroma and especially no taste. There were seeds, so Mr. Tran Minh Tung began to learn about the characteristics and techniques of growing this grape variety. In 2019, seeing that his son had a passion for farming, the family had land available, so Mr. Tung boldly invested in a drip irrigation system, materials for making trellis, tarpaulins, heat sinks and ordered 200 plants. Ha Den grape variety from Bac Giang University of Agriculture and Forestry for trial planting. Mr. Tran Minh Tung shared that in the coming time, he will continue to expand the area of ​​​​Ha Den grapes. In addition to selling grapes, he will develop the vineyard into a tourist attraction and experience. Mr. Tung said that when he brought the grapes to plant, everyone around him told him to take risks because grapes are often grown in the South Central coastal provinces, in Bien Hoa City, only a few families have grown as ornamentals. Planting for shade, few people grow grapes on a large scale (about 700-800m2) like him. When buying materials and equipment to build a truss, receiving grape varieties for planting, he realized that he had taken a risk when he spent 120 million VND to do something without knowing success or failure. Encouraged by his family, especially his son, and expressed his determination to successfully grow the Ha Den grape variety with his father, Mr. Tung felt empowered. However, passion and determination is one thing, the reality of growing and taking care of grapes is another. In addition to instructions from Bac Giang University of Agriculture and Forestry, in order to take care of the vineyard, he had to find books to read, go online to find articles about Ha Den grapes for reference, and even fly from South to North, find gardeners to learn from experience. The vineyard is located next to the house, so the first time he planted it, he was in the vineyard almost every day to monitor the growth of the grapes, as long as the grapes showed signs of abnormality, he would contact a number of gardeners to ask and handle. right. Thanks to that, after only 2 years of growing grapes, Mr. Tung has mastered all techniques of growing and taking care of grapes, handling problems related to Ha Den vine. Knowing the vineyard, many people in Bien Hoa City came to visit and take pictures at the vineyard.

The roof is made of transparent nylon that has the effect of covering heavy rain to prevent leaf breakage, fruit loss, and pest control. The fertilizing and watering is not the same as for ordinary plants, but must use a drip irrigation system and an automatic fertilizing system on the grapevine, absolutely do not water the leaves. In the period of flowering and fruiting, the care is the most difficult because it is necessary to prune flowers, prune fruit, and cover fruit. The technique of pruning grapes needs to be very skillful so as not to scratch the fruit and cause it to crack when it grows. In the near-harvest stage, watering must be stopped to increase the sweetness of the grapes. * Add a “check-in” place for Bien Hoa people Ha Den Vineyard has only been nearly 2 years old so far, starting to generate income. Mr. Tung said that from the 2nd year onwards until the 8th year is the time when the grapes are at their strongest, so the yield will be higher, about 5kg/plant/crop (2 crops per year). Because this is the first harvest, the family wants to create conditions for customers to try Ha Den grapes, so the family only sells it for 120,000 VND/kg (while in the market, the price ranges from 150 to 170 thousand VND/kg). . Ha Den Vineyard not only brings income to Mr. Tung’s family but also becomes a destination to visit and take pictures of Bien Hoa people. Ms. Trieu Hoa Ngoc Lan, Secretary of Doan P. Tan Hanh said, Bien Hoa city has no fruit garden that can serve the needs of visiting, taking pictures and experiencing, so the grape growing model is quite new. She contributed to introduce the vineyard to friends, colleagues, and youth union members. Therefore, the first grape crop last year, although there were not many fruits, attracted many visitors to visit and take pictures. Having a hobby of traveling experiences, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Thao An (living in Quang Vinh Ward, Bien Hoa City) has traveled to experience many gardeners inside and outside the province.

In the province, she visited Tan Trieu pomelo garden, rambutan garden in Long Khanh… Most recently, when friends introduced about Ha Den vineyard in Bien Hoa city, Thao An also came and “checked in” here. Ms. Thao An shared, Ha Den vineyard is the same size as other gardeners she has been to, but has the advantage of being located in the campus of Bien Hoa city.

Mosquito killer is widely advertised and sold on social networks. Quality how the buyer is difficult to discern. Screenshots

The seasonal weather creates conditions for mosquitoes to breed, including mosquitoes that cause dengue fever. Therefore, many people are interested in mosquito killer products.

* Builds for… mosquito repellent

To prevent dengue fever, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam (living in Trung Dung Ward, Bien Hoa City) went to an e-commerce site to order a 100ml bottle of mosquito repellent Permethrin 50EC, 100ml capacity for 70,000 VND, recommended by the seller as originating from the UK, recommended by the Ministry of Health. When her children and grandchildren go to work and school, according to the instructions, she mixed the medicine bottle with 5 liters of water and sprayed it from the house to the garden. After nearly a day of spraying, from morning to afternoon when her family members returned home, everyone was still under construction because they could not stand the strong, stinking smell of pesticides that lurked in the house. Seeing that, her family had to turn on the fan, open the door wide to let the smell of medicine go away before they dared to enter the house.

Director of the Center for Disease Control of Bach Thai Binh province recommends that, when spraying mosquito repellent, there are some points to note: choose the time of spraying when no one is at home. When spraying should go backwards from the inside out to avoid contact with chemicals. Only return home 30-60 minutes after spraying; The elderly, pregnant women and children should return home after 2-4 hours. When spraying, cover cooking utensils, food, drinking water …

As noted by the reporter of Dong Nai Newspaper, at present, there are many probiotics sold on the market to kill mosquitoes and other insects. These products are very diverse, the type commonly used in many households today is the spray bottle and mosquito incense. In addition, there are products to kill mosquitoes with water or powder, mixed with water to spray on a wider area. However, the market for mosquito repellants is also confusing, people who do not pay attention or have a cheap ham, it is easy to buy toxic chemicals under the label of “mosquito repellant” that is safe for people.

Mr. Nam Nghia, a person who has been selling cleaning chemicals for many years at Bien Hoa market (Bien Hoa city), said that foreign mosquito repellants are often counterfeited. Counterfeit drugs are made in 2 forms: the correct form of the biological product to kill mosquitoes, but the buyers dilute it, 1 bottle into 2-3 bottles to make a profit, this type reduces the effectiveness of mosquito killing but less dangerous for people. The second is a fake medicine made from a pesticide, extracted in small bottles, labeled with a fake mosquito killer and sold at a cheaper price, which is very toxic.

According to Mr. Nam Nghia, the mosquito repellent brand Permethrin 50EC is selling very well because of its good effect. If the goods are from the UK, the smell is light, does not cause harm to people, the price is about 250 thousand VND / 100ml bottle. This type is being counterfeited the most and only sells for 1/3 of the correct price. To identify the genuine drug Permethrin 50EC is a white bottle cap with a dark brown shell, on the bottom of the bottle there is a logo of the product’s name embossed, and the fake is not.

* Use a safe mosquito repellant

“There is no mosquito repellent that is absolutely safe for human health, even if it is a real mosquito killer. Because all current mosquito repellents or repellents are chemicals, they also have certain harms to users, if used incorrectly, especially for the elderly, pregnant women and children. children. It is more dangerous if using fake mosquito repellent as bottled insecticide, the harm will be unpredictable ”- Dr. Bach Thai Binh, Director of Provincial Center for Disease Control confirmed.

According to Dr. Bach Thai Binh, in principle when spraying mosquito repellent, chemicals will cling to the contact surface of objects and on the user’s skin if there is no good isolation or protection when spraying. If using a concentrated drug on a narrow area, it is easy to risk allergies or skin irritation such as erythema, itching, burning skin or swelling of the eyes, sneezing, runny nose … If using the drug Using insecticides to kill mosquitoes will increase the likelihood of chemical poisoning. Mildness may cause dizziness, vomiting; severe breathing can lead to difficulty breathing, coma. When you encounter mild chemical contamination situations, you should take a shower immediately to remove any chemical particles on your skin. In severe cases, it is necessary to bring the patient to the nearest medical facility.

Currently, there are many types of mosquito repellent on the market and mosquito repellent chemical spraying service. People can use drugs or rent services, but should buy drugs at stores and agents with clear addresses, labels, origins, standards certification stamps. Should not be cheap but buy floating goods in the market. If you are looking for a mosquito spraying service, you should hire a company that is reputable and has specific addresses.

However, according to Dr. Bach Thai Binh, spraying chemicals to kill mosquitoes is only a temporary urgent solution. Basically, you should choose a solution to regularly clean the living area and the area around where you live such as: clearing the bushes where mosquitoes live; cap tightly the canals, drains, water jars, pots, dump water in discarded materials … to kill larvae; sleeping should be blind.
