A corner of To Hap town. That immensity in Khanh Son is urging people to come because now, this place is in the fruiting season. In the process of researching soil and choosing suitable crops, for more than 20 years, Khanh Son has become the “capital” of fruit trees with durian, green-skinned pomelo, rambutan, mangosteen, etc. jackfruit, oranges, tangerines… Unlike the southern provinces, the orchards are sometimes located on the isles… but Khanh Son has a mountainous terrain, so the fruit gardens create a strange appearance, so that when you come to visit it, it’s like you’re going to conquer something. something amusing. Exiting To Hap town, you will encounter many roads leading to the orchards. Each garden grows a different type of tree, vast, sometimes located in a valley, sometimes on the ground, with wavy slopes. Usually the orchards are not fenced, trees just grow and bear fruit naturally, no one steals. Visitors buy Khanh Son durian. In the fruit tree season, the whole land of Khanh Son is bustling everywhere. The rambutan trees give very sweet fruit, the green-skinned pomelo is also very sweet and it is impossible not to mention the staple tree: Khanh Son durian. Those who come to Khanh Son in the ripe fruit season will definitely go to a durian garden to see firsthand the durian trees full of fruit, eat a few pieces and buy some to take home. The price to buy durian at the garden is sometimes only half the price at the market, so some people buy up to a few dozen kilograms to give to friends. Each durian garden in Khanh Son is a few hectares wide, the land is also high and low, so it is normal to visit the garden to climb up and down. Entering the durian garden, the first thing is to visit, to be surprised to see the durian trees are very large, chit fruit. You can visit any durian garden to visit and be invited to eat durian… In May and lasts until the end of summer, Khanh Son is bustling in the season of ripe fruit. Finding Khanh Son in these days, going to that orchard is also interesting. KHUE VIET TRUONG

The weekend resort Thanh’s husband designed for his family. The entire campus was designed and built by her husband, Khong Thanh, within 2 months. In which, the house has 6 closed bedrooms in a circular shape, with thatched roofs. In addition, the house also has a swimming pool, sauna, mini golf course, garden, fruit trees. “I want home to be a place to return to, a place to save beautiful memories of each family member,” said Khong Thanh. This house was originally built with the purpose of serving as a resort, but Ms. Thanh’s family lives here quite a lot. Therefore, she also arranged and decorated meticulously like a house in the street. “With such a spacious area, husband and wife can design many types of modern villas. However, we like the rustic life a bit, live in townhouses a lot, so we want to be in harmony with nature. In addition, building in this form is quite fast, not as difficult and sophisticated as building a villa, “said Thanh. The gate is made of wood and the stone fence runs around the garden. The house is built in a circular shape, with thatched roofs against heat. In front is the swimming pool. Swimming pool has a separate area for children. Around the homeowner planted many trees and planned a separate place to plant fruit trees. Air conditioning water tank. The hut is also covered with leaves, surrounded by flowers and ornamental plants. The path in the house is paved with bricks. The garden is installed with an automatic watering system. Modern bedroom design. The master bedroom of the couple, slightly classically designed. In the room there is a dressing table and a shelf for bags. Inside the house at night. The lobby leads to the bedrooms. The house is made in a circle, this is the center in the middle, surrounded by a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room. The golf course serves the sports needs of Thanh’s husband. During the holidays, her family mostly lives here. Lawn and swing for “little princess”. The kitchen and dining room can accommodate about 12 people. Due to the large family here, Ms. Thanh invests in many modern equipment, including a toaster.

In 1981, the first plum seedlings were brought to Moc Chau. From the original variety, each season, Na Ka farmers select the most beautiful and delicious trees, extract and propagate them, to create their own signature plums. The plum trees are planted at a greater distance than many other plantings, to give them space to “breathe”. With the criterion of upholding the quality of each plum, Na Ka farmers are willing to sacrifice up to 30% of the output, pruning branches, pruning fruit to keep the best fruits. Post-Ruby Son La plums The fruit is formed thanks to the unique soil of the Na Ka valley region – located in the Moc Chau climate zone at an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level – which has long been famous as a healthy soil for temperate fruit trees. zone. The limestone mountains are rich in minerals that create a rich flavor. The high temperature difference between day and night makes the ability to store sugar good, plums sweeter. For every 100 plums grown in Son La, only 5 post-Ruby plums are selected. Post-Ruby Son La plum orchards produce large, round, uniform fruits, ranging from 18-25 fruits/kg. The red-green color blends harmoniously on the thin case, creating a recognizable feature. The after-Ruby Son La plums are selected and distributed by the experts of Mia Fruit – an experienced enterprise in branding of many domestic and imported agricultural products. “These are the highest quality plums in Vietnam today,” affirmed Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Huyen – Representative of Mia Fruit, “Judging by the criteria of the international market, in terms of taste, size and appearance beautiful on the outside, we believe that Ruby Son La deserves a place on the world stage.” The plum tree is not just any fruit tree: it has pulled the whole land out of poverty in a sustainable way. Plum trees, therefore, have been treated like family members by people in the areas around Moc Chau for generations.

Fruit garden planted on basalt Through the fairy land Buon Choah is also known as Cat village (Choah village, Krong No district, Dak Nong province), formerly mainly Ede people, they took the alluvial sand from Krong No river to name the village. The remote commune of Krong No district is the location of the global volcanic geological park. On the way from Buon Ma Thuot city to Choah village (where there is a volcanic cave complex), we heard Mr. Le Hoang Co, General Director of Dam San Tourism and Trade Company, a passionate explorer, many times. led the delegations to experience and learn about the land and volcanic caves of Dak Nong, sharing: for many years, the people here have lived by the rice trees, drank the river water, lived a kind and loving life. They love the road which is the burning rocks not because of the scorching sun but due to the impact of the volcano, which is quite interesting and strange. Especially the orchards planted on the wrong rocks are full of fruit. Whether it is a rice field or an orchard, when harvested, the yield is unbelievably high. This place has tourism potential, attractive agricultural resources, must combine all the strengths of the region to make products to attract tourists and improve the quality of life of the people. What makes this land poetic beauty is the endless stretch of rice fields, becoming a feature of the material and spiritual life of the people here. The fragrance of rice rose gently through the nose and the golden sun fell to the foot of the hill, Nguyen Thi Yen (Thanh Son village, Choah village) expressed, people call the rice fields in Choah village the golden rice bowl. because ST24 rice variety has good rice quality and high yield. In 1996, her family came here to set up a business, at this time, they grew RVT rice. In 2016, the government experimented with planting ST24, now it has grown the whole field. Her family has 2 hectares of this rice variety, two crops a year for 14 tons/ha and 2 sao of fruit trees: jackfruit, coconut, litchi and 10 cows, with a total income of 300 million VND per year. The newly discovered cave has a length of nearly 1 km The Krong No River appears before your eyes. The large ferry approached the shore, a group of 45 people from a company in crimson uniforms carried luggage onto the ferry. More than a few minutes of moving, touching the shore, each group in turn was arranged to wait for 5 workers and farmers. The peacock raced up the slope, everyone was surprised to see papaya, avocado trees on both sides of the road, forming a beautiful green patch, pressed against the dark gray pumice area. And the farmers themselves still see the mystery, in the fields and fields, there are only rocks and stones, yet the orchards are still green for bountiful crops. People forget the fatigue of the heat, find the heaven and earth here strangely enchanting. The hustle and bustle of life gradually subsided, in front of my eyes, thousands of colors flickered back and forth around the foot of the mountain, which was quiet and immense. This land for many years has been deposited by alluvium, now becoming the most fertile place of Choah village. The Krong No River builds up from the water to the products on both sides of the river, giving the local people a warm and friendly atmosphere, amidst the vastness of heaven and earth. The legendary story of A Tay and A Yong is told by the village elders over a jar of yeast that has been handed down for generations. That, their love was hindered because the girl’s house was too poor, there was no gift to bring the boy back to be her husband. The desperate couple threw themselves into the river to die. The girl turns into Krong Ana river (mother river), boy turns into Krong No river (father river). The Serepok River is the eternal blend of faithful love. The river has nurtured and created a culture unlike any other. While here there is a revelation of wonder that fascinates all mankind. The Mystery of the Bat Cave The vehicle carrying the group stopped in the middle of the orchard, next to the people’s farm huts. Weaving through the fruit-laden lychee orchard, we walked more than a kilometer on jagged pumice paths, frozen by the molten lava spewing out of the crater. The feet quickly reached the basalt field stretching as far as the eye could see. People seem to be trapped in the vast windy space, the fatigue is somewhat reduced. Touching the lava rock shelf where the new cave was discovered, each stone surrounded a giant arch. Following the flash of a flashlight, we groped on the jagged rock and entered the nearly 1 km long cave. In the dark and deep recesses of the cave, the smell of dampness penetrated the nostrils. The cool world inside the cave dispels the hot air outside. Flashlight streaks quickly glide over countless stalactites, traces of a volcano that have fallen asleep, making everyone stunned. The cave we are exploring, the experience is the newly discovered cave. Indigenous people say that there are many caves around this area, including bats, which is not strange. Before knowing Chu Bluk cave, the people around here used to call it Bat cave. If there are tourists to visit, these caves are not the first place they introduce, because of the wildness, difficult-to-find location, undeveloped services. Therefore, this has contributed to preserving the original purity of the cave until now. Leaving the cave, the sunset is long. On the Krong No river, the bobbing boats of the fishermen cast their nets and cast fishing lines. The woman showed off a 3kg trout struggling in her hand, returning down the stream after releasing the spoils. From time to time, motorboats carrying sand tore through the water, making the river’s surface agitated. Then, momentarily right there, the river was calm and calm again… The volcanic cave system in Krong No district, Dak Nong province is a 25km-long volcanic cave system in basalt, stretching from the crater of Buon Choah along the length of the Serepok River to the area of ​​Dray Sap waterfall. Dak Nong Geopark was recognized by UNESCO as a global geopark in 2020, contributing to strongly promoting tourism and attracting domestic and foreign tourists to explore. This is the third global geopark in Vietnam.

Mulberry skin – in the local language of Ha Tinh is elm skin. This is a woody fruit tree, appearing a lot in highland areas in mountainous districts such as Huong Son, Huong Khe. With the characteristic that the results are chained on the stem from the root to the top, the mulberry tree in the fruit season is very beautiful, chosen by many families to grow as an ornamental tree. Mulberry is usually ripe around June, lasts until July, August of the solar calendar… mid-May has begun to have ripe fruit. The young skinned berries are dark red or dark green, but when ripe, the skin turns ivory white, apricot yellow and has a sweet and sour taste. The mulberry tree trunks are filled with tens of thousands of fruits, making both growers and guests feel good. Mr. Tran Van Ky’s house (residing in Ha Linh commune, Huong Khe district) can grow 17 roots of mulberry skin, in the crop every day, traders come to ask to buy. These mulberry roots have been planted since 1980, each crop gives an income of tens of millions of dong. Each root averages from 1.5-2 quintals of fruit. The current selling price is from 25 to 30 thousand VND/kg, bought by small traders in the garden. As Mr. Ky shared, when the harvest is complete, he will weed, dig the soil and dig a deep hole near the base of the mulberry tree to fertilize. The characteristic of this plant is that it loves water, so this area is flooded every year, it is alluvial, so the tree grows well. No need for sophisticated care, on this occasion Mr. Ky’s family has harvested from 3 million VND or more each. The fruiting stem starts from the root to the tip. As Mr. Ky shared, there were many guests who came to pay more than tens of millions of dollars for a mulberry tree that is over 40 years old, but he still did not sell it. The mulberry tree stumps are decades old, not only economic in fruit collection, but also sought after by many people to buy. The berries are plump, ripe, waiting to be harvested. The fruit grows from the base to the top of the tree. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa (Ha Linh commune) also has a mulberry tree that is decades old at the time of fruit harvest. Ms. Hoa said that in previous years, this root yielded more than 2 quintals of fruit, but this year the harvest is more likely. “Strawberry has many different kinds of fruit, some trees give red fruit, but there are white fruit trees. On this occasion, people come to buy a lot, they will climb up to pick, then come down at the yard to weigh and charge. Like this original, someone came to pay tens of millions and did not sell. Because I want to keep it for my children and grandchildren, I have a few million silver coins here every year,” said Mrs. Hoa. On this occasion, Ms. Tran Thi Ha (resident of Huong Khe district) often goes to houses with skins to buy and sell. She said, usually traders will choose the sweetest, most delicious root to buy, the price is offered by the grower. “The strawberry skin is harvested in about 20 days, and customers buy a lot. Some people buy a whole weight and take it to Hanoi and Saigon to give it,” said Ms. Ha. The berries are picked and put on the street for sale.

Nguyen Thi Tham harvests vegetables to prepare for dinner. Tham’s house is at 17F7, Tran Binh Trong Street, Nguyen An Ninh Ward, City. Vung Tau, has 3 floors with an area of ​​more than 100m2. Tham has spent more than 30m2 of the terrace to design a garden with a variety of vegetables and fruits for daily meals. Taking us to visit the garden, Ms. Tham was ready to bring knives, scissors and a basket to store vegetables harvested for dinner. Appearing in front of my eyes is a beautiful and neat garden designed scientifically by Tham and her husband, both to ensure waterproofing for the terrace and for luxuriant fruit trees. Tham’s garden has everything from spinach, collard greens, collard greens, amaranth, water spinach, chives, basil… to hard-to-grow things like mosquito nets, abalone mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, chicken thighs. . In front is a truss of gourd, squash is also fruiting. In addition to vegetables, the garden is also full of flowers with 20 pots of roses, 20 pots of tropical hydrangeas, dozens of orchids, fortune-telling plants, box orchids, jasmine… In a flash, Tham has a basket of vegetables. , fruits of all kinds for dinner. Ms. Nguyen Thi Tham with a very fruity gourd is grown on her terrace garden. In order to have vegetables to eat regularly, she grows by the method of pillowing, which means that when this litter is about to die, another batch is about to be harvested. The same goes for melons, gourds, and squash, when these fruit trees begin to grow old, other fruit trees have climbed up the trellis. Ms. Tham added that, in the face of rampant dirty food on the market, which easily affects health, because she wanted to have clean vegetables for her family, in 2017 when she built this house, she also designed a garden on the yard. upper. Just like that, after finishing her job at the Ministry of Construction’s Nursing Center, she went home to take care of her garden. “There are 3 people in the family, so many times vegetables and fruits can’t be eaten, I pick them down for friends and relatives. In addition, I do more cooking at home, so I also put these clean products into serving customers,” said Tham. Mrs. Ngo Xuan Tho shows off the apple tree planted on the terrace, but it is very wrong Looking at the garden on the terrace with dangling pumpkins, bunches of apples laden with fruit, guava trees are so wrong… few would expect it to be the hand of a 74-year-old woman who still climbs 3 floors every day. Tiny, vertical stairs to the garden. The house is more than 50m2, but both generations live together, so they have to pour 3 panels and make the stairs very small to save space. Climbing to the terrace of the house I wanted to breathe, but Mrs. Ngo Xuan Tho (636/12/9 Truong Cong Dinh, Nguyen An Ninh ward, Vung Tau city) – the owner of that garden was still more agile. Ten times up and down to take care of plants, change the soil, and harvest vegetables without getting tired. Ms. Tho confided that this garden helps her to relax with old age in the city. The garden is not large, only a few tens of square meters, but she feels better thanks to it. “Every time I go to the garden to look at the vine that has grown, hug the trellis and then flower, bud, and bear fruit, I am as happy as meeting you,” said Mrs. Just like that, that small garden has been with her for nearly 20 years, every season. Ms. Tho said that at this time, the weather was rainy, so it was a bit difficult to grow vegetables, although she still had amaranth, water spinach, and cucurbits to eat all day… but the mainstay of the garden in this rainy season is fruit trees. She cherished each apple in the garden, each new ruby ​​guava with her fist, and then rejoiced when harvesting the first American figs, each strawberry brought back from Da Lat. From September onwards until Tet, when it is cold, Ms. Tho can grow kohlrabi, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower… And gourds, squash, melons, eggplants, leafy vegetables are often enough for the whole family. 5-6 people eat. “Actually, I spent tens of millions of dong to buy planter boxes, invest in an automatic irrigation system in the garden, not to mention the cost of seedlings and fertilizers… Considering the economic value, it is not necessarily cheaper. I buy vegetables from the market, but the important thing is that the garden makes me happy, my family has safe vegetables for daily meals, “said Ms. Tho. Lots of families in the city. Vung Tau also chooses to grow vegetables on the terrace to have clean vegetables for family meals. Ms. Le Thi Hai Yen (150/18 Le Loi, Thang Nhi Ward, Vung Tau City) often calls her vegetable growing place “a garden in the clouds”. Yen’s garden is small, just over 10m2, but thanks to clever placement, she can grow everything from green beans, peas, okra, bitter melon to morning glory, amaranth, and spinach. She loves flowers, so her garden also dedicates a small space to plant roses and butterfly flower pots. Rooftop gardening is gradually becoming popular in urban areas. The rooftop garden has contributed a lot to the family’s daily food, reducing a part of monthly shopping costs. For many people, gardening on the terrace is also a hobby to help them reduce stress and fatigue with daily life.

Strawberry season is ripe from May to the end of August. Now is the time when the strawberry season is in full swing, so gardeners are busy harvesting to sell. Mulberry – also known as mulberry tree, is a woody fruit tree, the fruit grows from the base to the top. In Ha Tinh, mulberry trees are often grown in mountainous districts Mulberry trees usually bear fruit in the spring. Strawberries grow in clusters, chit from the base to the top. By May, the mulberry fruit begins to ripen and to be harvested Strawberry skin when ripe, the skin gradually turns to ivory white, apricot yellow. The fruit has a mild sour taste, very popular with many people. In recent years, many traders have come to the garden to buy strawberries. Mr. Tran Van Ky’s household (residing in Ha Linh commune, Huong Khe district) can grow 17 mulberry roots. Many unripe roots and fruits have been deposited by traders. Most of Mr. Ky’s mulberry roots are grown over 30 years. Each year, harvest from 1.5-2 quintals of fruit. Currently, each kilogram of strawberry skin costs from 25,000 VND to 30,000 VND. In addition to white and red strawberries, there are also blue-skinned strawberries. The fruit has a sweet taste and the price is also higher For many mountainous people, strawberry skin is not only a snack from the countryside but also a significant source of seasonal income. On average, each mulberry tree can be harvested from 2.5 to 3 million VND/year. With the characteristics of fruit, beautiful canopy, for shade … in addition to planting for fruit, the mulberry tree is also chosen as an ornamental. In recent years, the mulberry tree has been hunted by many people. On average, each perennial mulberry tree costs from 5 million to 30 million VND/tree.

When having a good soil environment for plants, plant care is also very important, mainly fertilizing and pruning. Fertilization, it is necessary to follow the rhythm of the tree’s life. For example, a newly planted tree, its life cycle is the bursts of buds (buds). As for fruit trees, the tree’s life rhythm is: harvesting, creating buds, flowering and raising fruit. The following is the plant care process Dr. Tran Kim Tinh, lecturer at the Faculty of Agriculture and Applied Biology – Can Tho University, introduces it to readers for reference. Plant ground cover grass. Photo: Minh Dam. First, plant ground cover grass. Keep the water in the ditch 50-60 cm above the ground. Sprinkler irrigation (small rays) or permeable irrigation. Post-harvest pruning of fruit trees. The tree is still small, after each bud, needs to be pruned, created a canopy and only produces 3-4 buds in a year. In terms of fertilizer use, organic fertilizers must be applied annually and only when needed to produce sprouts for seedlings. For fruit trees, fertilize when creating buds to use high nitrogen. When the tree is in the stage of growing young fruit, it reduces nitrogen and increases potassium. As fruit trees grow, farmers should further reduce nitrogen and increase potassium. Farmers should fertilize plants with organic fertilizer every year. (In the photo: Compost production at Clean Farm Company). Photo: Minh Dam. Common mistakes in farming Currently, on land crops, there are too many errors in soil preparation for planting and crop care. The prerequisite is to have the right soil physical environment for plant roots to develop. A lot of gardens, the preparation and management of the land is not right. Errors such as soil compaction are very common in all provinces. This leads to vegetable plants not growing evenly, corn not developing roots, orange orchards yellowing leaves, sleeping during the day. The structure of the soil (clump of soil) is not suitable, the lump of soil is too big for the roots to develop. Soil is compacted, reducing permeability. Keep water too high in the orchard. Use soil that is too acidic to grow fruit trees. Converting rice land to grow fruit trees, but there is no way to prepare the land properly. Improper watering. Planting trees buried roots too deep. Too much nitrogen fertilizer and foliar spray have too many growth stimulants, making the canopy unbalanced with the roots, the tree sleeps during the day. The soil structure must be suitable for the plant. Photo: Minh Dam. In farming there are mistakes, which can be easily remedied. For example, over-fertilizing nitrogen, spraying foliar fertilizers, but there are many errors in cultivation, which are difficult to overcome or even impossible to overcome, but must be cut down to replant. For example, in rice farming, farmers are advised to withdraw water mid-season, or to withdraw water several times in a crop. If farmers withdraw water by draining water from the field, this is a very dangerous practice. Because of doing so, the rice soil becomes acidic very quickly. Instead of recommending water withdrawal, it must be recommended to squeeze the water. That means adjusting the amount of watering so that by that point the field becomes dry. For upland crops, soil compaction is very dangerous, because when the soil is compacted, it is very difficult to overcome. The pH must be right One thing to be concerned about, the soil pH in the Mekong Delta is now seriously declining and depleted of potassium. Plants cannot absorb nutrients effectively when the pH is not raised to 6-6.5. Due to the serious decrease in organic matter in rice soil, when flooded, it is not possible to raise the pH. There are still many shortcomings in rice cultivation, when it comes to soil, that need to be studied. Soils in the Mekong Delta are seriously lacking in potassium and need to be supplemented with potassium, especially in the fruiting stage. Photo: Minh Dam. It is not enough, soil pH must be suitable and nutrients for plants must be sufficient in quantity and type. It has been shown in science that the mineral nutrients for plants must be sufficient in type (14 types) and in quantity, if one of the 14 types is lacking, the crop yield will decrease, even though 13 types The rest are high. In order for plants to absorb nutrients well, the pH of the soil must be suitable, preferably 6-6.5. Below pH 6, absorption of some nutrients is difficult and when the pH drops to 4-5, nutrient absorption is severely reduced. No plants grow normally under low pH and high pH conditions. For example, the pineapple tree can grow on acidic soil, but it is not normal. For sustainable farming, the following criteria should be considered and trained for farmers: Technical level of farmers, organic content in soil, soil pH in profile, soil texture, soil structure in analysis. area, irrigation capacity, drainage, fertilizer application process. Currently, there are still many issues that need to be studied to determine the soil properties that need to be addressed. The ecological characteristics need to be analyzed thoroughly, for ecological zoning. Minh Dam – Ngoc Thang ( write the)

In order to promote and introduce potential strengths, Ca Mau province has passed events, cultural, sports, tourism and commercial activities to domestic and foreign tourists, including the event “Perfume” U Minh forest”. Currently, U Minh Ha forest land still ranks first in the freshwater ecosystem in the Mekong Delta. In particular, this place also has a traditional job of guarding bees, associated with the U Minh Ha honey brand known to the whole country. Mr. Pham Duy Thanh (living in Khanh Binh Northwest commune, Tran Van Thoi district), said that when coming to the Melaleuca forest area, the most interesting thing for tourists is to eat bees for honey. Beekeeping is a family tradition. Before developing into a tourism product, this was the main income earner for Mr. Thanh’s family. “Being introduced to friends all over the world, the special traditional craft of our homeland is a great happiness for us,” said Mr. Thanh. Through activities in the event “Fragrance of U Minh Forest”, Ca Mau wishes to help visitors experience and discover the rich products of the land of U Minh Ha. Thereby, promoting and introducing potentials and strengths of U Minh district through cultural, tourism, culinary and commercial activities. Creating conditions for businesses to meet, connect, expand links, cooperate in tourism development, attract investment in developing product brands, improve competitiveness with localities in the province… Tourists visit and experience the activities of guarding bee trusses in U Minh Ha forest (Ca Mau). On the basis of promoting the potential of local agricultural strengths, Bac Lieu also finds resources to exploit the cultural and landscape characteristics of rural areas to form attractive agricultural tourism products. Visitors can visit and experience such as visiting Bac Lieu longan garden as a typical example. Located 6km from the center of Bac Lieu city, stretching nearly 7km along the coastal route from Nha Mat ward to Vinh Trach Dong commune with an area of ​​over 50 hectares. The highlight here are the longan gardens with many ancient longan roots, with trees up to hundreds of years old. In addition, a rural setting typical for the countryside of the Mekong Delta creates an attractive agro-ecological space that can organize diverse tourism activities, such as: weekend breaks, culture , ecology, cuisine… Currently, Bac Lieu longan garden area has implemented a project to preserve ancient longan associated with tourism development in Giong longan tourist area with over 1,110 original longan trees owned by 48 households in Hiep Thanh commune and Vinh Zedong. Or sightseeing tours associated with mangroves, agro-ecology, fishery combined with visiting wind power are also developed by Bac Lieu province. Due to its natural features, Bac Lieu’s sea does not have natural beaches, but has unique features of the mangrove ecosystem such as the mangrove landscape with interlaced canals, a system of farms and areas. aquaculture. Especially wind power projects in coastal areas… These areas can be exploited for tourism development in the form of resort resorts associated with agro-ecology, visiting wind power, directly experiencing the life of coastal residents such as: fishing, fishing, etc. , catch shrimp or catch clams… Recently, Dong Thap province has emerged as one of the localities with a rapid breakthrough in tourism development. Although there are not many famous scenic spots, but with the advantage of agriculture, the enthusiasm of the people of Dong Thap province has many good ways to “retain” tourists when coming to the land of pink lotus. As a purely agricultural province, agriculture is considered a key economic sector to help Dong Thap province promote economic development. However, in the past few years, many farmers have shifted to develop agricultural production along with tourism. The new economic model not only helps farmers in Dong Thap province to improve their income, but also improves farmers’ thinking about agricultural economic development. According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dong Thap province, over the past time, the agricultural tourism model has helped farmers in Dong Thap province to improve their income many times higher, a part of farmers in Dong Thap province is gradually switching from agricultural production. purely agricultural economic model. In the period from 2016 to 2020, the orchard attractions in the province have welcomed over 150,000 tourists with a total revenue of over 43 billion VND. This is a clear demonstration that developing agricultural tourism is a promising new direction to help Dong Thap province extend the value chain of agricultural production. Many farmers in Dong Thap also expressed that they develop tourism not only for economic benefits but also for responsibility and pride for their homeland. When doing tourism besides agricultural production, what they receive is not only immediate profits but also useful information through contact with tourists… Tourists visit and experience the activities of guarding bee trusses in U Minh Ha forest (Ca Mau). One of the places with many agricultural tourist attractions when coming to Can Tho city is Phong Dien district. This place not only has My Khanh tourist village with many games and attractive dishes, but also many households doing eco-tourism, concentrated in the hamlets: My Hoa, My Nhon and My Ai (My Khanh commune). . The owner of Hoang Anh fruit garden belongs to farmer Vo Hoang Thanh. Having opened a restaurant to sell food and drinks to people in the neighborhood, 7 years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Thanh boldly invested in gardens, dug fish ponds and formed an ecological area to serve tourists. This ecological garden is located on the banks of a 6,000m² wide canal, growing all kinds of fruit trees, such as: green grapefruit, dragon fruit, pineapple (pineapple), papaya, custard apple… Not far away is a 1.2 hectare garden planted and maintained by Mr. Lam The Cuong (My Ai hamlet, My Khanh commune) for more than 60 years. In the garden, he built small houses so that visitors could stay overnight… Can Tho currently has over 32 tourist garden sites and dozens of households doing community tourism. This is a type of tourism developed on the basis of cultural values ​​of the community, managed, exploited and benefited by residents. The city’s tourism development goal is to help people increase their income, improve their lives, exchange and exchange cultures, contribute to socio-economic development… According to Mr. Nguyen Khanh Tung, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Can Tho City, community tourism development in Can Tho will not follow the general model but depending on the natural conditions and characteristics of each locality to build a model. fit. In which, it is necessary to clearly identify the subject of community tourism activities as the local people, the indigenous cultural identity is the core value. “We will survey and re-locate potential areas for community-based tourism, from which there will be a proposal to build a community development tourism project for Can Tho,” said Mr. Tung.

Making a rootstock nursery: Choose sandy soil, favorable irrigation. Plow and smooth the land. Clear weeds, combine into beds 1m wide, 20cm high, furrows 25-30cm wide. Seeds are obtained from local varieties of mangoes, preferably with the seeds. Remove the outer bark and peel off the seed coat. Sow each seed in turn on the bed surface 2-3cm apart, then dredge the soil in the trench to cover the seeds, about 3cm thick. Finally, make the canopy of the canopy to cover the sun and rain for each nursery bed and water it regularly to keep it moist. About 20-30 days later, depending on the weather, the seeds germinate and remove the plastic net covering the bed. When the tree is about 20cm tall, the buds on the top turn green, proceed to the throne immediately (uproot each plant and plant it in the potting medium). Mango is a multi-embryonic tree, 1 seed is sown for 3-5 seedlings. So it is necessary to take the throne in order, old, hard, strong trees take the throne first, young, weak and soft trees take the throne later. Note: As soon as the tree’s buds have just turned green (old locs), don’t let the tree grow a second time to take the throne. Pull the plant onto the pot gently, avoiding breaking the roots. Peeled seeds can be purchased from specialized mango seed establishments in the South, to sow seeds for the rapid multiplication of large numbers of seedlings. Newly born mango orchard. Photo: H. Tien. Electing a rootstock tree: Choose a 12 x 14 black poly bag with a drainage hole at the bottom. The potting medium consists of small soil, mixed with micro-organic fertilizer, quantitative, 1m3 of soil + 120-150kg of microbial organic fertilizer. Close the growing medium 2cm from the mouth of the pot, gently pluck each rootstock planted in the middle of the pot, then cover the pot with soil to cover the roots, then arrange each pot next to each other on a high, drained bed. Fertilize, water to keep moisture and prevent pests for the nursery, until the tree is about 1m tall, then proceed to transplant. Mango seed garden and vegetative sowing beds for grafting. Photo: H.Tien. Choose a hybrid: Depending on market demand or seed production contract with partners, to conduct grafting from Australian, Thai, 4-season or Yen Chau mango varieties, etc. The mother plant is free from pests and diseases, with good fruit and good quality. And only use grafted eyes on branches that grow across the canopy downwards, do not take branches, branches, and branches that grow loosely to water the canopy. Seedlings are collected, need to be cut into segments/sections with 3-4 leaf nodes/sleeping eyes. And also take only the branches of the same color as the cake. Do not take branches that are too old. It is best to take the old bud, after grafting, the seed will sprout quickly. Note: After the cuttings are cut, they need to be tied into bundles, with the roots and tops in the same direction, then wrapped in a damp cotton cloth, stored in a cool place, to gradually graft in 1-2 days. Mango trees after grafting. Photo: H.Tien. Joint technique: It is best to apply the technique of grafting branches. The season to conduct, should start from February-March or July-November of the lunar calendar. 25-30 days before transplanting, it is necessary to increase fertilizing for healthy, resinous and well-functioning rootstocks, increasing the compatibility between the grafted eyes and the rootstock. How to combine: On the rootstock, cut off the top to the point where the stem has a cake color (about 40cm long), but need to leave some leaves for photosynthesis. After using a specialized knife to cut the bevel from the root up, open a grafted mouth with a length of 2.5-3.0cm, a wide cutting angle of 25-30 degrees. On the base of the seedling, also cut open a similar graft, but in the opposite direction and the angle of the cut is 65-60 degrees wide. Apply the grafts of the grafted branch and the rootstock to each other, both stretch and combine the twisted nylon strip like a rope and wrap 5-6 times tightly around the graft, finally flatten the grafted nylon strip. , cover the entire stem and graft, so that rain and air do not penetrate inside. After transplanting about 20-30 days depending on the season, the seed eyes will sprout. Care of seedlings after grafting: About 2 months after grafting, the sprouts are 15-25 long, the buds have turned green, can be released from the garden. During this time, it is necessary to water enough moisture, fertilize NPK balance, thoroughly remove the wild sprouts that grow outside the graft. Timely monitoring and control of some pests and diseases such as anthracnose, leaf spot, mango planthopper.

More and more Chinese tourists are visiting the farms and enjoying the fresh produce. Tourists pick persimmons at an orchard in Shufeng village, eastern China. Photo: CNN According to CNN, China is one of the largest domestic tourism markets in the world. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism estimates that over 4 billion trips will be made across China by 2021, with a market value exceeding $500 billion. Given that an outbound tourism model is not viable due to pandemic restrictions, the need for an alternative domestic option is not surprising – especially since China is the home. of 55 World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO. However, not only looking to the historical and natural wonders in the country, people now look to a different atmosphere when returning to the peaceful countryside. In posts posted on the social network Weibo, an account named Ancailie said that after a day of picking strawberries, planting rice and eating food raised by her own hands, she felt “much happier”. Another user, laozhenyiwen, described how his family caught fish and ate seafood during the last Labor Day holiday as an enjoyable experience and “avoiding the crowds”.

Zhou Mingqi, founder and general manager of Shanghai Tour Guide Enterprise Management Consulting, said Chinese people are getting tired of not having many entertainment spaces and unique experiences in the country’s big cities. “They need a different life experience, a peaceful weekend away,” he explains. Wang Shang works for a Beijing-based company that helps coordinate tours and activities in the countryside. She says that on one of the tours she runs, visitors can experience fruit growing, participate in an agricultural development model, and learn about the traditional crafts and customs of the region. . “Most of the tourists who join these tours are kindergarten or primary school students with their parents,” Wang said. Some rural retreats can be reasonably minimalist, with activities as simple as strawberry picking, visiting a folk museum or attending local musicals. In Wang’s opinion, there are two main reasons why people are enthusiastic about vacationing in the countryside. It is a quiet space to be alone and experience a healthy lifestyle. One of the resorts Wang affiliated with in Shandong province opened in May 2020 – right after the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic passed in China – quickly being booked by tourists. “The population density in rural areas is very low. The control and prevention measures are also very good,” explained Wang. People like to experience life with nature. Photo: CNN Besides, living in a country that is full of scandals related to food contamination, tourists feel safer and healthier when they grow clean foods themselves. The trend of “going home to rest” is also strongly promoted by influential figures on the Internet, such as Ly Tu That. Videos of this girl living in the countryside, cooking dishes from home-grown ingredients by herself on the peaceful background of music have attracted tens of millions of views. Wang said she believes rural tourism is just getting started and that in the future, tours will focus more on China’s myriad local cultures. “Looking at agricultural and rural development policies in recent years, I think that rural areas have a lot of potential. I think in the future there will be more tourism products with content based on local culture, that is, tours with cultural depth,” Wang said.

He Dao Van Nam ( 53 years old, from Vinh Phuc) has 5 daughters, all of them are married far away, but they all love their parents and come back to reunite every weekend. The cowpea rig is full of fruit, cultivated and cared for by Mr. Nam. Loving the children who are getting married far away, and wanting them to have clean vegetables and fruits to use every day, he made his own garden at home so that every weekend the children would have food to pack to take away. At first, his family only planted a few perennial fruit trees such as jackfruit, pomelo, sapodilla, coconut, apple, etc. Later, when the children got married, Mr. Nam planted many other fruits and vegetables. Knowing that their parents love bonsai but don’t have much money to buy, the daughters sometimes come back and add more plants to the garden. Gradually the garden was also filled with green trees. “My garden is about 200 square meters. Trees surround the house, so in the summer you don’t have to worry about the children playing in the sun. On both sides of the house, my wife and I mainly grow perennial fruit trees, in front of the yard are pots of ancient roses. In the garden, there are more asparagus, cloves, chayote, strawberries and some short-term leafy vegetables,” said Mr. Nam. Fresh asparagus stalks The garden is full of different kinds of fruit Also according to Mr. Nam’s share, he gardening completely by organic methods, so the short-term vegetables and flowers must be taken care of more meticulously from the stages of composting, pruning leaves, catching worms, etc. “The house is surrounded by fish ponds, so the humid environment will have many insects. There are vegetable seasons when I’m busy and I don’t have time to take care of them, the insects eat all the roots and tops, I have to buy new plants instead, take care of the vegetables from the beginning. With fruit trees, it takes less care, the tree still grows and bears a lot of fruit,” said Mr. Nam. Daughters get married far away, every time they return to their hometown, they feel at peace in front of their parents’ garden. It is a strange thing that all the fruit trees in Mr. Nam’s house do not have to be cared for much, but they are very wrong. Neighbors who came to visit also praised his garden and learned from his experience of taking care of plants. “There are five jackfruit trees with a harvest of up to 100 fruits growing from root to tip, my family has to pick and share with everyone. Even the coconut tree, when my daughter was pregnant, she kept picking the whole room of coconuts to drink but couldn’t. There are fruits that are aged for a long time and I bring them to the store with meat, which is also very delicious. My wife and I are very happy to share with everyone the results we have made,” said Mr. Nam happily. The garden is green all year round The garden contains many deep memories with Mr. Nam’s family. He still vividly remembers the hot summer afternoons, the children who couldn’t sleep, kept playing with goods, eating mandarin umbrellas, jumping rope under the jackfruit tree. He wants nothing more than to want his children to be happy and peaceful like the childhood memories that they still tell each other to this day. “Happiness is simply the moment when the whole family goes out to the garden to pick vegetables, happily cook family meals, and watch the children play under the tree. My hometown is a bunch of sweet star fruit, so I always want my children to eat the “bundles of sweet star fruit” made by myself. I will collect and grow a lot of delicious vegetables and sweet fruits so that every time I go back to my hometown, my children and grandchildren can eat well,” said Mr. Nam.

When the “green sprout” has begun to take root, the tree is close to the human shoulder and the “dream” of orchards combined with tourism in southern Vietnam is gradually taking shape, the flood of October 2020 has swept away. of almost all grandparents. More than 2/3 of the trees in the garden were buried in fierce floods, uprooted. Getting up after a fierce flood, with the motto of taking short and long, they started to rebuild the remaining stumps and choose to plant bitter melon alternating crops. Talking to the reporter, Ms. Pham Thi Hue shared: “Bitter melon is an easy-to-grow plant that has a fairly resilient vitality, which is both suitable for local climatic and soil conditions, and does not require much. After being incubated, the cuttings will be potted, wait until the plants have grown, about 10cm high, they will be planted. After a period of 3-4 months, the tree will be harvested “. The model of growing bitter melon of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family (Tien village, Vo Ninh commune, Quang Ninh district) brings high economic efficiency. In particular, the bitter melon garden of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family is grown in the direction of clean agriculture, does not use pesticides and is completely fertilized with manure. To prevent plant diseases, Ms. Hue and her husband treated lime in the soil, implemented methods to prevent pests and diseases with biological products, such as ginger, garlic, chili …, so bitter melon was moderate. It has a delicious crunch, which ensures food safety and is very popular with consumers. Also according to Ms. Hue, bitter melon wants to grow and develop well, it is necessary to keep regular moisture. Therefore, she and her husband invested in drip irrigation systems using Israeli technology and made use of locally available materials, such as bamboo and neohouzeaua, to make trusses and a net mesh system. Thanks to the correct technical process, the bitter melon in the garden of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family is evenly large and purchased by traders. During the peak period, she imported to traders 1.5 quintals / day with prices from 20,000 to 25,000 / kg. Recognizing bitter melon is very good for health, helping to purify the body, cool the liver, detoxify and prevent cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure …, besides fresh products, the family of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue boldly experimented with drying and processing products into bitter melon tea with a price much higher than that of ordinary fresh bitter melon. According to Ms. Hue, bitter melon dried in tea form can be preserved for a long time, easy to use, so many consumers love and order. Currently on the garden area of ​​1.4ha, in addition to 6.000m2 dedicated to planting bitter melon, Ms. Hue and her husband also planted purple sweet potatoes like Japanese, sweet melon, gourd, squash and some kinds of fruit trees, such as: mango Thai, Thai jackfruit in the direction of clean agriculture, promises productivity and brings high economic efficiency. Evaluating the effectiveness of the model, Mr. Pham Van Dan, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Vo Ninh commune said: “From 2018 to now, restructuring agricultural production in the direction of increasing the value associated with development, With the development of the product value chain, Vo Ninh commune has actively propagated and mobilized farmers to convert inefficient rice land, so far, the whole commune has converted more than 100 hectares of muddy land and planted. Low-yield rice to diversified economic models, such as the clean agriculture model of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue and her husband, models of conversion have brought about clear effects in terms of productivity and price. economic treatment and step by step help Vo Ninh form branded production areas, increase people’s income “. “From the exciting initial results, we intend to plant more bitter melon in the summer-autumn season so that the fruit can be harvested, providing clean products to the market all year round. In the long term, the family’s intention will still be to develop more fruit trees so that the elderly, children in the village and hamlets have a place to walk, rest and enjoy clean fruit right in the garden ”, Ms. Pham Thi Hue sincerely shared more.

Trees help to regulate the indoor air. The house of Ms. Nguyen Thuy Trang (SN 1983 – Ho Chi Minh City) is located in the heart of District 5. From the noisy street, full of smoke and dust, entering here, you will be immersed in the open space, covered with green by trees mortar. With a house width of 8m, a length of 10m and a small yard, she takes advantage of all the sunlight and sunlight to grow fruit trees and ornamental plants to solve the problem of air pollution. Viewing angle from above. Thuy Trang bought the house 4 years ago. Due to the good structure of the house, she did not build a new building, but only renovated the rooms, increasing the functions and utilities. The garden was also researched by her, made from that time. The whole renovation of Thuy Trang is assigned to a design and construction unit. The project consists of 2 blocks linked together by a system of trees and light. Ms. Trang arranged the planting areas according to the characteristics of each type. Achievement after 4 years, the house is shady green trees. The green tree system not only creates a fancy beauty for the building, but also helps to condition the air, bringing a cool feeling to the occupants. Interior design is simple but still cozy and elegant. The pathways in the house are also filled with trees. Tree truss vertical on the wall. These are all trees suitable for tropical weather. All floors are arranged with big glass doors to catch the sun. The balconies and corridors of the homeowner take advantage of planting fruit trees. In addition, she added a portable awning. When there is heavy rain or heavy sun, she will pull the eaves to cover the trees. The house was completed in 2017, so far it is still like new and is used very carefully and cared by the owner. “I am a house addict, any corner must take care of me meticulously, clean it up”, she revealed. She mainly grows plants in pots, pots, but the fruit is always full of branches. The woman born in 1983 asserted that she did not have to embrace the dense planting of trees and green vegetables because she did not like the overcrowded house. Moreover, she wants to set aside space for the whole family to gather and open outdoor meals. She divided the tree into each section for convenient care. Fruit trees are preferred in sunny locations. The tree has tropical style (tropical), you can take care of it by spraying it periodically to avoid pests. Ornamental plants are planted in a cool, no-sun area and keep the humidity of at least 45-70%. With vines, most of Thuy Trang grow beef stem Philodondren (indoor plants), so it is imperative to live in a humid environment for air roots to develop. The garden has a variety of vegetation. In the past, she planted many flowers, especially roses. However, growing flowers is forced to spray many drugs to stimulate and spray regularly. In addition, the drug must be constantly changed because of hemorrhoids and drug hoppers. Therefore, she switched to planting trees. Fruit trees in the garden are quite plentiful including: Mango, pomelo, star fruit, whip, guava, orange, toad, sapoche, pomegranate … The entrance door has a large glass frame. Harvest the fruit. Reading corner, relax in the afternoon of the whole family. When commencing the renovation, she thinks that this is not only a place to live but also an environment worth living, for the children’s physical and thinking development. The owner grows a variety of fruit trees in the North. Trees help compensate for the freshness and alleviate the heat, the cramped and the hustle and bustle pace of the bustling city. The interior uses subtle dark tones on a white painted wall background. The rooms are linked together by open space.

Her family’s terrace covers an area of ​​100 square meters. In addition to planting 30 tomato plants for fruit continuously, Ms. Loan also grows cucumbers, melons, melon, bitter melon, vegetables and some fruit trees. Tools to plant Ms. Loan’s trees are old water tanks, foam barrels, old pots bought from the bottle yard. To keep the terrace clean and not heavy, Ms. Loan uses 20% of the cultivated land and 80% of the substrate (coir, ash, rice husks, manure, and waste) to grow trees. Ms. Loan started planting 30 tomato plants since September 2020. Trees are always fruitful. Sometimes, Ms. Loan harvested 40-50kg of tomatoes. She had to bring it to her friends and relatives if she could not eat it all. “After I harvested the ripe fruit, I applied fertilizer to the stump, 10 days after the fruit was ripe, I continued to harvest,” Ms. Loan said. She also planted strawberry trees on the terrace. Currently, the tree is ripe fruit. According to Ms. Loan, to have a green garden with high productivity requires gardeners to be experienced, diligent to explore and have a love for trees. In addition, growers must visit the tree every day to see if the plant is sick, has root rot or stem rot. “Caring for trees is like taking care of children. One day I did not visit, the tree was sick, ”said the woman from Vinh Long. Loan’s son is helping his mother to harvest ripe tomatoes. Melon trees and melon fruit. Loan said that to grow these fruit trees, it takes a lot of care and requires growers to have the techniques and characteristics of the tree. Her secret to growing a lush, fruit-bearing garden on her terrace is to use organic fertilizers and insecticides made by herself. As for insect repellent, Ms. Loan is made from waterpipe tobacco soaked with alcohol, incubated for 5-7 days and then watered for the plants. As for fertilizers, she uses soybean residue, spoiled bananas, eggshell, and kitchen waste to make compost. Using these types of waste as compost not only helps to provide enough nutrients for the plant, but also helps the tree produce more fruit, beautiful color, succulent, sweet. The next step in this woman’s rooftop gardening is to treat the soil before planting. “Treating the soil to get rid of germs is already 50% successful in gardening,” she said. Her soil treatment process is to mix soil, coir, ash, rice husks, manure … with powdered lime, eggshell, chicken manure, and dried soil, then plant trees. The grower must also provide the plant with sufficient water at all times. In addition, the gardener must apply fertilizer at the right stage of plant development, otherwise it will harm the plant.

Abundant green fruit Tran Xuan An, Chairman of Thang Hai Commune Farmers’ Association (Ham Tan district, Binh Thuan), seemed to think something, so he didn’t answer until I stopped the car because of the intersection in front of me. At this moment, he looked over at me, clearly: “This place is in the middle of Suoi Tu village, if running straight is Be mountain, it is also the place where a lot of rubber plantation and timber are planted. Turn left to go to Suoi Bang village, The place where Nuoc Man stream is located, across the stream is Binh Chau land (Ba Ria – Vung Tau). From this place running to Nuoc Man stream, there are 151 ha of black pepper cow leather, golden rice longan and about 132 ha of Taiwanese mango grafted with Thai mangoes. Also from this place, turn right, you will go to a place to plant citrus fruits such as grapefruit, tangerine, jackfruit … More than 150 hectares, not less “. I opened the car door and walked out with An. Around the immense green color of many kinds of fruit trees, it stretches to the eye. The air smelled of fruit and fruit around here, of the remaining forest trees, mixed with the scent of grass, the scent of named and unnamed flowers in the earth. The scent of the same green color makes people feel like they are in a very peaceful place. Tran Xuan An slowly: “Earlier, you said Suoi Tu and Suoi Bang are forest land. Exactly! In the 80’s of the twentieth century, the people of Quang Tri, from whom I lived in Thang Hai, still went to the forest of Suoi Bang, Suoi Tu. Everything changed after the government decided to set up a socio-economic project on 400 hectares of impoverished forest, in 1990, to provide accommodation and production for free migrants. decades ago. As a result, many westerners flocked to Thang Hai to buy land from people granted by the project. Many of them have experience growing fruit trees. So the new longan gardens, new intensive farming techniques, are applied here. After the label is mango, rubber. Sometimes, many families cut down longan, mango, and grow rubber because latex is priced well. If there is no tight vicious circle – planted due to the short-term devaluation and profitability, the area of ​​fruit trees of all kinds of Thang Hai must be over 1,000 hectares, not just 670 hectares, of which more than 500 hectares for harvest. like nowadays. Mr. Vo Van Sot in a 5-hectare avocado orchard in Suoi Bang village Nearly drunk, far away, remember I am in Thang Hai, the most southern locality in Binh Thuan province. This place was still a poor land 20 years ago. There was no restaurant along the commune more than 10 km. People on the road had to squeeze their stomachs, trying to run across Nuoc Man stream, to Binh Chau to buy rice. Some year of my childhood, this place is still primitive forest. There is a natural North – South road running through. Occasionally a few people walk, u bring loneliness because of the four bureaucratic, wild. This is the path that Nguyen Thong, when he held the position of a monastic academy during the Tu Duc dynasty, during his trip from Long Thanh to Phuoc Tuy (Ba Ria), to Binh Thuan expressed exclamation: “Where do you call? ? / In the evening, the voice is more melancholic / The customer is tired and wants to rest / Desperate in the deep woods! / The side of the road is hungry, / The piece of coat is dewdrops “. Luckily, on this trip I met An. Just over 50 years old, but An has more than 30 years working as a farmer, then an agricultural worker, so he has the knowledge of a local earthquake. In the whole commune, there are 1,510 households and 800 households specializing in farming. Thang Hai has 6,078 people, most of whom stick to their whole life with fruit trees, emulate creativity, turn the locality into a fruit tree area of ​​Ham Tan. Now, talking about fruit trees in Binh Thuan is Thang Hai, referring to the Thang Hai yellow rice boat label that is certified by the Department of Intellectual Property of the geographical indication. In the middle of a canoe garden in Thang Hai Every year, before the Lunar New Year and 4 months later, Thang Hai is the season of Thai grafted Taiwanese mango, Hoa Loc mango, avocado off-season. May and June are tangerine season. Is there any place in Binh Thuan where there are tangerines and fruits that are as big as a small ball, thin and light when ripe, and juicy? This mandarin, Binh Chau’s daughter on the other side of the river often comes to buy, saying that squeezing water is healthy and bright. July to October is the season of longan, golden rice, longan pepper cow skin. This is the time at Suoi Bang everywhere, there is a bright white color of the net against the bat eating longan; The season of howling birds, red-headed red-beaked redbirds fly back from Be mountain, the archipelago all day on the broad canopy longan trees, spread out like a giant parachute. This is the season when Suoi Bang girls’ flesh is always incubated in a passionate aroma, when near, they can get drunk, they will remember when going far away, making truck drivers aged 19 and 20 go to Suoi Bang to eat food, keep lingering. don’t want to go home. November of the calendar year onwards, the scent of longan still lingers in the leftover gardens, making the girls even more awake, flinching under the thin blanket, while outside the bat has not stopped pulling her flock. , looking all night. After November is the early Thai jackfruit season. Thai jackfruit runs near the street market as La Gi, Ham Tan. After this time, when Tet comes, there are green skin pomelo. Mr. Tran Xuan An, Chairman of Thang Hai Commune Farmers Association, in his green skin pomelo garden I asked: “Do garden owners here focus on green – clean products?”. An replied softly: “Nearly 100% of garden owners aim for quality and safety for consumers. They should eat it or not, thanks to that factor.” Then An determinedly dragged me in to meet Vu Cong Hoan. Hoan is a garden owner, from the North. Six years ago, Hoan came to Thang Hai, heard stories of gardening and was born eager, so he invested in gardening, although his wife advised to open a luxury hotel that was both comfortable and not far away. “Buying 13 hectares of land, I block streams, build dams to get water. Design a sprinkler system; use a large amount of organic fertilizer to improve the soil before thinking about growing green skin grapefruit” – Hoan said. The Hoan house is quiet and spacious in the middle of the pomelo garden. The blue-skinned grapefruits at the end of the crop were the size of a ball, swinging just a few dozen feet from where I was sitting. Hoan said there are 9 ha of green skin pomelo with 3,600 trees and 4 ha of longan in the garden. On average, each pomelo tree gives 30 fruits, each fruit is about 2.2 kg, the average price is 35,000 VND / kg; each tree collected over 2.5 million dong, or nearly 900 million dong / ha. Hoan does not use inorganic fertilizers, so no matter how strict the consumer is, he can still buy all the grapefruit in his garden. “Last New Year, my grapefruit gave out any vehicle that ran out of cars. So much so that, when I no longer sell, I spend some of the fruit delivered to a center to export agricultural products to Europe because they have signed off the contract. traders pulled the whole group into the garden “. Eyes see headphones The last thing on the road is about a bit economical color scheme. Tran Xuan An told Thang Hai that in the beginning of 2021, there were only 35 poor households out of a total of 1,510 households. Average people’s income is nearly 40 million VND / person / year. Can not forget that Thang Hai is from a forested area, people live destitute, lack before and after, change all jobs in the year, not to mention a large number of children divorced and divorced, looking for jobs in Ho Chi Minh City. It seems that thanks to the change of cultivars, towards plants suitable to the soil, associated with the consumption market, Thang Hai has become a production place of agricultural products, typically the golden rice variety. has been present in major supermarkets. Now, back to Thang Hai is back to the estate of 5-20 ha. About 50% of Thang Hai people today are farmers in their own fields and gardens, the next day they can be workers of the farms with working days of 300,000-350,000 VND / day. The way to go up of Thang Hai, with a few dozen billionaires originating from farmers, typically Ha Thanh Chanh, Vo Van Sot … earning a few billion dong of goods / year, shows the strength of a countryside, as well as the the acumen and determination of the commune leaders. Tran Xuan An also told me that if possible, in April, the mango season, go back to Thang Hai to see and hear how traders come here to buy goods. I promised An that he would stop by because he wanted to learn about the retired pilot, how to build streams and dams to water 13 hectares of his crops during the sunny months.

Pham Trung Kien and his wife took a photo with a small guava tree with many fruits. The terrace is just over 7m2, but he still makes use of it to grow vegetables and fruit trees. In order for the garden to grow many different types of trees, Mr. Kien designed a climbing platform and then used foam boxes, plastic tanks … to plant trees. In the photo is a gourd frame with fruit. Mr. Kien said that the most difficult thing about planting trees on the terrace is to transport the soil. Moreover, houses are close to each other, so he has to go to the coastal areas or to neighboring provinces to get land. After that, he composted the soil with ash, rice husks, coco coir together with vermi-compost, cow and chicken manure, etc., and put it in a barrel to plant trees. According to Mr. Kien, planting trees on the terrace or on the ground, plant nutrition is the most important thing. In order for the tree to develop well, produce lots of fruit and be delicious, in addition to using organic fertilizers, he also uses skin and fish bones to fertilize the tree. Mr. Kien uses the head, skin, bones … of the squash fish because this fish often has less odor, fishy, ​​to fertilize the plants. Mr. Kien also came up with a way to mix the soil according to his own recipe. Accordingly, he mixed 50-60% of soil and meat with organic fertilizer. “The soil mixed with the organic fertilizer will be mixed with the fish again according to the ratio: 1 layer of soil, 1 layer of skin, bones, fish head. We do that 2-3 layers, then planting any tree is fine”, he to speak. The secret of this man when planting plants on the terrace is to plant seedlings in small pots first. When the plant begins to grow, he will switch the plant to a large pot so that it can easily absorb nutrients from the soil. Then, every day, he watered the tree 2 times. When the plants flower, every 10-20 days, he will add 2-4 tablespoons of bat manure and manure for fruit trees. Mr. Kien also cut off small, bad branches to create conditions for the plump branches to grow. As for guava trees, he often pruned the branches, not to let the branches get too high, each branch cut 2-4 pairs of leaves … so that the tree focused on raising flowers and fruit. Thanks to this secret, whatever he grows, he has a phylum fruit. “There is no entertainment as cheap as planting trees around the house. It feels great to plant, take care of the trees by yourself, and get your own results. It’s more fun when the fruits you grow are not using chemicals.” , Mr. Kien shared. The apples are juicy, crispy and sweet. Knowing that Mr. Kien planted trees on the terrace with good yield, many people came to visit and learn from experience. Whoever comes, he is also willing to share his secret, just where to buy seeds. He also wrote his own recipe for each plant, how to compost, mix soil for everyone. In addition to fruit trees, he also planted sprouts. This vegetable, he and his wife use it to make salads, eat raw … Mr. Kien said that since there was a garden, he always found his life more meaningful. When he is tired at work, he goes to the rooftop to see the branches, exhausted, and tired as disappearing.

Growing clean vegetables at home is becoming the trend of the people As a worker working at Sao Mai An Giang Group, Ms. Le Thi Thuy (living in Hoa An commune, Cho Moi) brings in her the joy of “planting” vegetables at home. Taking advantage of the vacant land next to her house, Ms. Thuy set up a platform and planted melon; below the loofah, Ms. Thuy grows more vegetables, cabbage … Until now, Thuy’s family has started to bear fruit, while other vegetables are harvested and used by the family. all the time. Ms. Thuy shared: “Every day, when watching TV or online information, seeing a lot of information about food safety and hygiene … When shopping, I do not know where to sell clean and safe vegetables. So I actively grow vegetables for the whole family to use, ensuring safety ”. Although the planting area is not large, about 10m2, but by the time of harvest, her family has not used up all, meanwhile, if these vegetables are stored for a long time, the quality will be affected or damaged. Therefore, every time she harvests, she shares it with her neighbors and acquaintances to use it. Not far from Thuy’s house, Mr. Le Hoang Vu also takes advantage of the land behind the house to grow vegetables. With an area of ​​about 15 square meters, in addition to leafy trees, such as spinach, broccoli, choysum … Mr. Vu also grows fruit trees, such as chili, papaya … Mr. Vu said. , in order to get a green and healthy vegetable garden, he regularly watered and took care of the plants. Due to not using chemical fertilizers, plants are often damaged by pests and diseases. However, Mr. Vu is still happy that he has provided a portion of clean food for his family. “In addition to providing a source of vegetables for my family, every time I harvest a lot, my family also sells them to the market or sells them to local people in need. As a result, there is also more income for the family “- Mr. Vu shared. For households in urban areas, who do not have much land to grow, planting in foam boxes placed in front of the yard or on the terrace is also an effective way to grow vegetables, because not only saves space, but Also growing a variety of vegetables for family use, especially increasing the green area right in the city center. Ms. Le Thi Hoang (living in My Long ward, Long Xuyen city, An Giang) said that growing vegetables in a foam box is very convenient and simple, just regular watering is enough to have a clean source of vegetables for the whole family to use. for many days. According to the survey, many families also choose vegetables with short growth time, about 15-30 days to harvest. In which mainly leafy plants, such as broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, spinach … or spices, such as: green onion, fish lettuce, herbs, cilantro. .. The planting method is relatively simple, just use soil mixed with decomposed manure, coconut fiber, rice husk ash … then sow seeds to have a small vegetable garden to meet the meal. day. Currently, the cultivation of clean vegetables at home has been positively responded by many people. Foreseeing the above demand, many stores have sold a full range of raw materials: hoes, shovels, pots, fertilizers … to quality seeds. Representative of Thuy Trang seed agent (My Long ward, Long Xuyen city) said that in recent years, the number of retail buyers of all kinds of vegetables has grown strongly. In order that people do not have to buy at many points, the store has imported additional items for sale, such as coir humus, organic fertilizer, biological pesticides … Vegetables and fruit trees are essential foods that are indispensable in the daily meals of families because food safety and hygiene is a top priority for the people. And the fact that households actively create a small garden corner to grow safe vegetables is essential, ensuring family health, contributing to scaling up and raising awareness of using green food. , clean.

Having a passion for planting trees and seeing that on the hot terrace, she decided to cover the green for shade. She went to the online tree planting associations to learn from experiences. “I chose to grow melons because my family likes to eat and this plant gives fruit fast,” she said. A corner of the garden on the terrace of Ms. Ngoc Anh. At first, Ngoc Anh bought seeds at the supermarket and planted about 20 foam boxes, watering them manually. But when she gave the fruit, she found that the melon was very light and could only be used for drinking water. Besides, the manual watering took her a lot of time. “In the morning, I struggled on the terrace to water, pollinate flowers… In the afternoon, I ran home from work to pollinate and was scolded by my family for being too“ mortal ”, she said. After that, Ms. Ngoc Anh decided to find different varieties of melons (Vietnam, Japan, and Korea) to sow seeds. At the same time, she also designed the rig to save area and labor effort. “I consulted on the internet, then measured and bought materials and asked my husband to help with the assembly. Because it is self-made, the cost is quite cheap and in just about a week, the staging for planting trees has been completed ”. “If you plant plants in a foam bin, the water that flows out will seep into the terrace floor. A few seasons later, thanks to the suspension system, we overcame this situation while saving area and time for watering and fertilizing. The garden is always clean, the tall truss system looks more beautiful, ”she added. Currently, her terrace garden has more than 100 pots of melons of all kinds such as melon, green melon, watermelon … Each type she planted 2, 3 rows to eat not to get bored. In addition, she also took care of dozens of pots of roses, purple corn, bitter melon and fruit trees, grapes, apples … In addition to fruit trees, she also planted a lot of roses. “I usually spend 2 hours in the morning taking care of the garden. When it comes to the stage of pollination and fruit hanging, I have to get up earlier because I am afraid I will not have time to go to work at the company “, she said. “The garden does not have many bees and butterflies and many different fruits, so I am afraid of bees, butterflies pollinate all the time, so I self-pollinate. After that, I wrapped it to avoid the golden flies, then left hanging … “. In the first few cases, Ms. Anh shared, regarding fertilizers, she used chemical fertilizers. After that, she learned how to grow organic. Currently, she composts fish manure by herself, banana manure (for sweet fruits), custard-apple fertilizer … After that, she runs it on the watering system so that the plants can be absorbed regularly and save time on fertilizing the garden. “I think the matter of nutrition and the way of care will determine the outcome. Nutrition for plants in each stage will also be different, ”she said. In order to have large, well-rounded melons, Ngoc Anh has a secret that is to focus on collecting pollen for melons when the tree has grown from 10 to 12 leaf axils, usually keeping only one fruit on the tree. This season is the main season so she planted more than 100 melons, normally she sows about 40, 50 trees. “Every half a month, I grow new varieties of melons to have melons to eat all year round. Depending on the variety, about 60 to 90 days can be harvested, ”she said. Vegetables and fruits harvested from the garden were too much, the family could not eat them all, Ms. Ngoc Anh brought to her friends, colleagues, relatives … At weekends, she spends all of her time in the garden weeding and cleaning. Her husband supported his wife to plant trees, but when he saw that she was too passionate about the garden, he joked: “Wife cares more about trees than husband.” “You want me to plant less to have time to relax and rest,” she added. See more pictures of Ms. Ngoc Anh’s garden: The garden has all kinds of melons. The results obtained after each melon crop. Ms. Ngoc Anh also planted dozens of persimmons Purple corn and suffering.

Khan’s farm is located in Malihabad, a mango paradise in northern India with more than 10,000 hectares. Amir Khusro, the Indian-Persian poet, has called mango, native to India and tropical, subtropical climate, as “the most beautiful fruit of Hindus”. The cultivation of mangoes in India began many centuries ago during the Mughal Empire. This country is also the largest mango producer in the world, with more than 1,000 varieties and accounting for more than 40% of production. Mr. Khan and the mango season were good last year. The story of “mango trees 300 kinds of fruits” With the help of his son, Khan has grown mangos on 22 acres of farmland, a property cultivated by his grandfather since the 1900s. When Khan dropped out of high school and started his life, his family planted only a few local varieties, similar to nearby mango farms. Khan’s dream of grafting mangoes rekindled at the age of 15, when he saw a rose-hybrid tree in a friend’s garden. The flower tree had flowers of different colors that made him wonder if a single tree could produce such fruits. “Naturally I want to propagate the mango tree like what I saw on that rose bush,” he said. The 300-fruit mango tree is inspired by a hybrid rose bush. At the age of 17, Mr. Khan successfully grafted 7 varieties of mango into one tree. After the flood killed the tree, he determined to learn more about grafting in the family orchard. Over the years, Khan has been steadily improving his art of grafting. In 1987, he started grafting different varieties onto a 100-year-old mango tree. These mango varieties were collected by him from all over the country, including rare varieties. Mr. Khan said that the tree currently has more than 300 types of mangoes and he calls it Al Muquaraar. “Miracle Mango Tree” has a wide canopy, large enough to accommodate 15 people sitting under it. The branches are heavy with fruit with leaves of different colors such as gray green or olive green … The mango fruit on each branch also has its own shape: round or oval, some green, yellow, others have orange, pink and purple. The variety of each type is identified by a small label on the stalk: Dasheri mango from a nearby village, Himsagar from West Bengal, Langra from Bihar or prized Alphonso mango, sweet, saffron-colored mango in demand. high domestically and internationally. Mr. Khan’s three famous mango varieties are Tommy Atkins, Suvarnarekha, and Husn-e-Ara. “This miraculous mango tree is not just a tree, but an orchard, a universe,” said Khan. Free fruit donation, breed new breeds When asked how to protect trees from birds and insects, Mr. Khan said: “I don’t drive them away. The well-being of nature is for all to share.” During the harvest season, Khan and his son pack farm produce for sale and export. They give free fruit of “miracle tree” to visitors to the garden. “Like two kids from the same parents but different in looks and personality, mangoes sprouting from the same seed can also be completely different,” Khan said of each mango, as if it were kids. In addition to grafting, Mr. Khan also bred new varieties of mango, experimented with flavor and texture and gave them creative names. He named his new mango variety after Prime Minister Narendra Modi (Namo Aam) and Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai. Khan said: “I created a mango after the famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. He called to thank him and expressed his happiness.” Most recently, he named two new mangoes “doctor aam” and “police aam” to thank the work of the rescue pioneers during the pandemic. Many famous people visited Mr. Khan’s farm. Mr. Khan won many awards, including the Padma Shri, one of India’s highest civilian awards, and recorded in the Limca record book. He visited Dubai and Iran to teach the art of grafting. In 1999, he created a mango tree with more than 54 varieties for the Mughal garden inside Rastrapathi Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India. “Mango grafting is just an art and has no commercial value,” said DK Sharma, vice president of the Mango Growers Association of India. Mr. Khan disagrees, saying that grafting is very common in commercial fruit and nut production. He considers it an art of practical value.

“On flowers, under flowers” The two sides of the road leading to the center of Tan Tru town (Tan Tru district, Long An province) are dragon fruit gardens, green rice fields. In particular, many gardens are covered with vacant land with colorful carpet of ten o’clock flowers. On these gardens, people do not let the dragon fruit beds grow weeds or leave them empty. Instead, they planted many varieties of ten o’clock flowers of different colors and sizes of flowers. Hung’s dragon fruit beds are covered with colorful flowers ten o’clock. Many kinds of flowers in ten o’clock with colors purple, pink, red, yellow … are planted along the straight rows of dragon fruit by the garden owner. Only a few days, this flower with vigorous vitality has covered the bare land on the soil of dragon fruit cultivation. When the flower is ten o’clock not yet flowering, from a distance, these dragon fruit gardens are like a jade green carpet. At the time of blooming, the green carpet turns into a “checkerboard” with red, purple, and yellow stripes from the ten o’clock flowers. The soil is rich in nutrients, so the flowers at ten o’clock grow very well, giving flowers dense, large flowers, eye-catching colors. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hung (45 years old, living in Tan Tru district), the owner of a dragon fruit garden intercropped with flowers for ten hours, said he planted this flower in the garden all year round. “The moment the dragon blooms, under the tree, the flowers will produce flowers at ten o’clock. It can be said, at this time, my dragon fruit garden “on flowers under flowers” looks very eye-catching. Not far from Hung’s newly harvested orchard is a field with a dragon fruit garden in bloom. This place is also covered by garden owners with ten o’clock flowers for yellow, purple, red flowers … Anh Hung said that the ten-hour planting of flowers in the dragon fruit garden is very simple. “The land of Tan Tru is very much like ten o’clock, the garden owner just needs to ask for trees to cut them into small pieces and spread them on the garden. After a few days, ten o’clock will cover the soil and give brilliant flowers”, shared Hung. Seen from the road surface, the green dragon fruit garden stands out with purple, red, and yellow dots from the ten o’clock flower. In particular, small waterways for watering dragon fruits are also covered by this vibrant flower, blooming yellow flowers. Against weeds, creating landscape Near noon, ten o’clock flowers bloom brightly, covering the dirt trench between the rows of dragon fruit trees to form a long long strip of pink. Anh Hung said, normally, dragon fruit garden owners only use straw to cover and cover around the base of dragon fruits. The upper soil, between the beds, is often left empty by the garden owner, and weeds are overgrown. “Instead of letting weeds grow, absorbing the nutrients of the dragon fruit, I plant the flowers for ten hours. This flower is easy to grow, thrive without the need for care and fertilizer. Just planting for a while, they have grown into a carpet, covering the bare land so that weeds cannot grow ”, shared Mr. Hung. At the time of the flowering of the dragon fruit, together with the ten o’clock flower, the field of planting this fruit tree creates a very special “flower under the flower” scene. According to him, this is an effective, inexpensive and very safe way to combat weeds because there is no need to use chemical drugs to kill weeds. “In addition, planting flowers for ten hours on such soil beds is also for the purpose of making plants and dragon fruit clean, not clinging to soil or swollen. Because, when the flowers cover the bare land, the rain falls, the earth and mud do not shoot up, they stay on the body, flower, and dragon fruit ”, Mr. Hung added. Local people said that at any time of the year, almost the dragon fruit garden next to Hung’s house was also brilliant at ten o’clock. Even the garden is so beautiful that many people jokingly say it is a flower garden, not an orchard. Seen from the road surface, this field of dragon fruit stands out with the tiny yellow, purple and red dots from the ten o’clock flower. Hung said: “I plant flowers in the dragon fruit garden all year round, so there are always flowers to see. When the fruit is harvested, the flowers grow to cover the path. If I feel bad, I can use my hand to move the ten o’clock rope to pick dragon fruits ”. “If unfortunately not preserved, the flowers are damaged, then after a few days, they grow again, giving normal flowers. Due to the planting of flowers in the dragon fruit garden, there are ditches for irrigation and sufficient nutrition, so the flowers at ten o’clock grow very well, giving big flowers and beautiful colors, ”added Mr. Hung. The small trench used to water dragon fruits is also covered with ten o’clock yellow flowers, creating a beautiful landscape. Local people said that more and more garden owners planted this flower in the dragon fruit garden. This is both effective against weeds and creates a beautiful landscape at almost no cost. A local resident shared: “Every day, walking on this road has very beautiful moments. Early in the morning, when the ten o’clock flower is not yet blooming, the road looks like splitting the immense green patch of rice fields and dragon fruit gardens. Near noon, when the ten o’clock flower beds in the dragon fruit garden bloom, the pedestrians seem to be walking in the middle of a colorful flower garden. Currently, more and more people grow flowers for ten hours in dragon fruit gardens. Posts, photos, clips: Nguyen Son

According to the National Center for Socio-Economic Information and Forecasting (Ministry of Planning and Investment), the Mekong Delta is the largest agricultural production region of our country, playing an important role in the national economy, especially is in ensuring national food security. However, the Mekong Delta is a coastal lowland area, so every year, the sea water intrudes deeply into the mainland. Saline intrusion is a big challenge in the Mekong Delta. Photo: VGP This phenomenon appears cyclical and usually occurs sharply in the dry season months, from November to May every year. Saline intrusion is often affected by a number of factors such as flow from upstream to the Mekong Delta; flows in rivers, canals in interior fields; the tidal regime in the Mekong Delta; climate change, human impacts in water exploitation and use. In the past 6 years, the Mekong Delta has experienced two record saline intrusion waves, with intense and fierce intensity in 2015/2016 and 2019/2020, leading to a shortage of fresh water. wide, seriously affecting production and people’s daily life … In the dry season 2020/2021, saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta is higher than the average for many years, but not as serious as the dry season in 2019/2020, but the situation is also quite complicated. Up to the end of February 2021, in the Mekong Delta, there appeared 3 times of high saline intrusion, the salinity boundary 4g / l in Vam Co Dong river and Vam Co Tay river is 30-32km lower than the same period in 2020; the 4g / l salinity boundary in the estuaries of the Mekong River is 5-25km lower than that of the same period in 2020; The salinity boundary of 4g / l on Cai Lon river is 10-13km lower than that of the same period in 2020. Salty drought has damaged many areas of rice, fruit trees, aquaculture and vegetables, both agricultural production activities and daily life of the people are negatively affected. Saline intrusion combined with water shortage due to the effects of the saline drought season in 2019/2020 makes the total flow to be less than the average for many years and agricultural production is seriously affected. An estimated 40,000 ha of fruit trees (Tien Giang 19,000 ha, Ben Tre 15,000 ha, Vinh Long 1,800 ha, Soc Trang 3,400 ha) and about 5,000 ha of rice in Tra Vinh province have a shortage of irrigation water. With people’s lives, drought also makes many households seriously lack of water for daily use, even water supplied from clean water plants in urban areas in many provinces also shows signs of salinity. The main cause of saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta in 2020/2021 is attributed to the lack of rainfall, water resources in the upper Mekong River upstream during the 2020 flood season, and the 2020 flood peak at the upstream of the Mekong River on the Tien River. , the Hau river (An Giang province) is at a low level (below alert 1), leading to a shortage of flow in the dry season 2020-2021 from the upper Mekong river delta to the Mekong Delta by 10-20% compared to the average of many years. In addition, the total flow from the upper Mekong River (at Kratie station, Cambodia) to the Mekong Delta is in shortage compared to the average of many years about 5-15%. Solutions to ensure water security According to the National Center for Socio-Economic Forecasting and Information (NCIF), in the coming time, it is necessary to always be prepared with situational solutions to help people cope with urgent drought such as plan to mobilize mobile tank trucks to carry fresh water for households living in scattered, remote, coastal and island areas. Along with that, deploying drilling wells to supplement fresh water sources, extending pipes from concentrated water plants in the freshwater area to supply affected residential areas, installing additional public taps to supply households affected by saline intrusion use. Review, upgrade, expand and extend the pipeline with neighboring works with excess capacity to supply clean water to the people in the affected area. Regularly observe the water level of the reservoir, check the used capacity and the remaining capacity in the reservoir for treatment solutions to adjust irrigation water to suit production reality. Concentrate on investigating and searching underground water sources, especially deep aquifers to serve water supply for daily life in areas frequently subjected to saline water intrusion. Installation of salt water and brackish water filtration systems (RO equipment) in rural centralized domestic water supply schemes that are frequently affected by saline intrusion. To build freshwater reservoirs in dead-end canals and old diversion dams, and temporary dams to prevent salinity to keep fresh water sources for concentrated rural water supply stations. Investing in the construction of closed irrigation systems, implementing projects on dykes, embankments, key irrigation dams to prevent salinity, fresh storage for production and people’s livelihood. Saline intrusion negatively affects agriculture. The next solution is to regularly dredge the inland canals, clear and clear the flow for all canals, repair damaged works, carry out maintenance and repair of machines and equipment. operation, backup pumps to ensure proactive in regulating for irrigation and water pumping when saline drought, efficient operation of freshwater reservoirs. NCIF also believes that it is necessary to promote cooperation in the Mekong-Lan Thuong cooperation mechanism (MLC) on water exploitation and use. The decline in flow in the upper Mekong River leads to drought and saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta, so the water resource management in the Mekong Delta must be associated with the problems of water exploitation and use of 6 a country that shares the Mekong River. Accordingly, it is necessary to promote negotiations so that countries with large hydropower reservoirs, including in the main and tributaries, cooperate in the operation of power generation, water discharge downstream, ensuring flow maintenance. minimum level on the river. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation with countries experienced in responding to climate change, sea level rise, saltwater intrusion and drought such as the Netherlands, Israel, and Australia to enlist the help of countries and international organizations in coping with drought in particular and climate change in general It is necessary to widely propagate and guide people to implement measures to use water in an economical and efficient manner, especially in irrigation and daily life, to combat wasteful water sources. Encourage people to be proactive in case of water shortage with water storage solutions.

After the user downloads the App, real-name authentication is required, and then the system will give the user a fruit tree with a period of 7 days. According to the relevant publisher, “This fruit tree can produce 3 kg of fruit per day, and the fruit can be sold. It feels very fun. You can explore it. It’s very simple.”

Investors can sell the fruits after harvesting, but they can withdraw cash only after the account amount has accumulated to 100 yuan. From this calculation,The annualized rate of return of an ordinary fruit tree exceeds 1600%, while the annualized rate of return of a 388 yuan drilled fruit tree exceeds 2100%.

In addition, users can “pull heads” through the development of offline, and collect “head fees” layer by layer.

“Pengci” Fruit Brand

User: I knew it was a scam, but I was lucky

In fact, the designer of “Sunshine Orchard” will not let participants get any benefits. Earlier this month, “Sunshine Orchard” shut down the app and ran away with money.

Upon inquiry, Guangzhou Baiguoyuan Information Technology Co., Ltd., the operator of “Sunshine Orchard”, could no longer be contacted.The company also collided with the well-known fruit brand “Biguoyuan”, and the Beguoyuan Group stated in a statement on the 12th that it has no connection with Guangzhou Baiguoyuan..

△ Shenzhen Baiguoyuan Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. released a statement on its official Weibo

Mr. Li, who has participated in such games, said that he knew that the company would run away, but he did not expect to run so fast.Although not reconciled, he admitted that when he saw such a high benefit, he muttered in his heart, evenI realized that it might be a scam, but I was lucky. I just didn’t expect that I would become the last wave of “leeks”, and blame myself for being greedy.

Expert: a typical Ponzi scheme

Victims can file a civil lawsuit

Investigator Ye Hanxiang of Quanshan Branch of Public Security Bureau of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, has uncovered such cases. He said that similar virtual currency and virtual product pyramid schemes have basically the same characteristics:Use the money of the later entrants to make up for the income of the former entrants.In order to speed up the “return” speed, users have to “pull offline.” The so-called currency value and purchase price are all controlled by traders at will.

Consumer finance expert Su Xiaorui told reporters that the formal supervision of capital-related software is very strict, and they are generally licensed to operate.And this kind of problematic software generally does not have any financial supervision.

Han Xiao, a lawyer at Beijing Kangda Law Firm, pointed out that “Sunshine Orchard” has established a virtual mining model platform to attract public investment and encourage investors to pull new investors into the platform.Judging from its basic operating model with no actual operating products, clear organizational hierarchy, and the need to develop offline, it is a typical “Ponzi scheme” financial trap.

Han Xiao also stated that once an illegal fund-raising behavior violates the criminal law and constitutes an illegal fund-raising crime, it should also bear civil liability for violating the mandatory provisions of the law. In the criminal procedure, according to the “Guiding Opinions on Sentencing of Common Crimes of the Supreme People’s Court”, in the criminal procedure, the criminal perpetrator has the initiative to return the stolen goods and refund the compensation, and investors can make up for some of the losses.For the part involving civil liability, after the criminal procedure is over, investors can file a civil lawsuit based on their own losses.

Final review: Feng Yan

A new “idea” of planting fruit trees such as mango, jackfruit … in the premises of the factory and the roads is gradually becoming a reality when the seeds have been nurtured. Mr. Nguyen Khac Thanh, General Director of Tin Nghia Industrial Park Joint Stock Company – Phuong Dong – investor of Dat Do 1 Industrial Park, said that the company has invested more than 36 billion VND for a green area of ​​62.48 ha, accounting for 13 % of the whole area is to create a green area for the industrial park, building an eco-friendly industrial park. Currently, the occupancy rate in Dat Do 1 Industrial Park has reached over 60%. Dat Do 1 Industrial Park is continuing to improve its infrastructure to attract secondary investors, striving to increase the occupancy rate to 100% by 2022. In particular, in the development process, Dat Do 1 Industrial Park continues to build a green, environmentally friendly industrial park in harmony with the rural safety network.

Facing the current trend of industrialization 4.0, building green industrial zones is indispensable, especially in the locality where there are 15 industrial zones such as BR-VT. Many industrial zones such as Phu My 3, Da Bac, Sonadezi … also pay attention to and prioritize the use of high technology and ensure green, clean and environmental protection factors. Because, enterprises are aware that an important part of the goal of creating a green industrial park is not only an environment-friendly landscape with lots of green trees, but also eliminates the dryness, noise, and heat. factories and emissions to the outside. From there, minimizing the greenhouse effect and contributing to the fight against climate change. The construction of infrastructure of green industrial zones is the basis to attract green FDI inflows, to select industrial production projects applying advanced technology, without harming the environment. Green IP development is also the optimal direction to create industrial urban areas, meeting the living and working needs of experts and workers.

In the context that industrial production has long had a serious impact on the ecological environment, a measure of the capacity, prestige and brand name of enterprises, the current infrastructure investor is not merely in productivity, product quality, but also how they respond to the environment. In particular, the Green Industrial Park has important implications for the sustainable industrial development – one of the four economic pillars of BR-VT. Greening production, reducing pollution and moving towards sustainable development are the prerequisites to enhance the competitiveness of BR-VT in the current context.

Thanks to his creativity to break flowers to create different flowering phases, the 7-hectare mango garden of Mr. Nguyen Huong Long, Chieng Xuan commune, Van Ho district always produces big and small fruits.

With nearly 80,000 hectares of fruit trees, with an output of more than 336,000 tons / year, when the area of ​​fruit trees expands the harvesting and consumption of the products at the same time, it will lead to “good season, price loss”. Along with enhancing trade promotion, expanding markets, investing in deep processing, the application of technical measures to spread crops, prolong the harvest time of fruit trees is an effective solution.

According to the recommendations of the Plant Protection Department of Son La province, in order to improve efficiency, farmers should rotate fruit tree production in a reasonable manner, not continuously on an area. Localities need to link up to achieve sustainable efficiency, avoiding the situation of concentrating duplicate production at the same time affecting output prices when harvested./.

to step by step formulate many effective economic models, centralized agricultural production areas in the direction of goods, value chains linking people with enterprises.

Mr. Dang Ngoc Hoa’s family (San Que Dong village, Dong Ngu commune, Tien Yen district) changed inefficient rice area to growing fruit trees.

Mr. Dang Ngoc Hoa (San Que Dong village, Dong Ngu commune), is one of the people actively participating in the transformation of crop structure for economic development in the area. Previously, his family mainly cultivated over 5 sao of paddy field with rice and vegetable varieties, but the yield and yield were quite low, due to inadequate irrigation water. 4 years ago, having been facilitated by the commune to participate in training course on fruit growing, with knowledge and techniques learned, Mr. Hoa started to convert old rice and vegetable acreage to fruit tree cultivation. like: Na, orange …

Up to now, his family has more than 70 kernels and 40 oranges for harvesting. Mr. Hoa shared: By converting the cultivars suitable to soil, climate, so the plants grow and develop well, with high and stable fruit yields. Subtracting costs, each year my family has a revenue of hundreds of million dong, much higher than growing rice. From this background, my family continued to plant 50 more super-fruit jackfruit stumps, expected to be harvested in about 2 years …

Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Viet Phuong’s family (Tien Lang commune), is also one of the typical households, taking the lead in changing the structure of livestock in the commune. From small-scale chicken raising, he boldly invested in an integrated farming model combined with acacia plantation for wood. In particular, his farm focuses on breeding and developing native Tien Yen chickens. Currently, his family’s integrated livestock farm has a scale of over 5,000 Tien Yen chickens, nearly 100 pigs and nearly 1 ha of freshwater fish pond, each year bringing his family income from 500-700 million VND. ..

In the past time, in Tien Yen district, many agricultural production households have actively participated in converting plant varieties and animals suitable to local strengths and for high productivity and efficiency. In particular, the district has focused on effectively implementing the project of Agricultural restructuring in the direction of increasing added value and sustainable development, thereby encouraging people to implement crop restructuring. plants and animals associated with the application of science – technology, reorganizing production towards quality and efficiency, focusing on production – business associated with the value chain associated with the consumer market.

In the livestock sector, the district has focused on developing key products through production development support policies. From 2017 up to now, the district has approved and implemented more than 120 livestock support projects. As a result, it has increased from 2 chicken breeding facilities (2015) to 4 (current) facilities with a scale of 5,000 breeding chickens, the ability to provide 350,000 breeds / year. Many households in Tien Yen have gradually shifted from small to small, spontaneous, to livestock based on family size, concentration and commodity nature. Currently, the whole district has 64 certified farms, including: 15 integrated farms, 15 livestock farms, 38 aquaculture and aquaculture farms, 1 forestry farm and 1 crop farm. The whole district has 21 cooperatives, 15 enterprises operating in the agricultural sector.

Promoting the advantage of having a large area of ​​tidal flats, Tien Yen district has focused on attracting investment in the field of aquaculture, developing high-tech aquaculture models, notably the model of technology shrimp farming. . Currently, in the district, there are about 300 households raising technology shrimp, of which 15 households are applying the two-stage vannamei farming model, with concentrated farming areas in Dong Ngu and Dong Hai communes, Hai Lang and Dong Rui. With this area, the district strives for the production value of the fisheries sector to reach more than 493 billion VND, an increase of 13.6% compared to 2020.

In addition, vocational training for rural workers is also focused by the district to help people improve farming skills, as well as measures to prevent and control common diseases on plants and animals. In the 10 years 2010-2020, the whole district has provided vocational training for over 2,000 rural workers, of which 87% of post-trained workers have jobs and stable incomes. From the vocational training courses, many rural laborers in Tien Yen district have actively participated in converting and applying new plant varieties and animals into production practice. Thereby, applying flexibly to practical conditions at households for production and business, contributing to improving the efficiency of agricultural production in the area.

However, in order to achieve the growth target of 4.2% for the whole year 2021, the Capital’s agricultural sector is making efforts to implement many solutions, in which focusing on building models of linking production – consumption of agricultural products.

Strive to achieve the goal 4.2% growth
Explaining the reason for the growth rate of 2.51% in the first quarter of 2021 (compared with the same period of 2020, it is negative 1.17%), Director of Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Chu Phu My said that in the first months of the year, the details are relatively favorable for agricultural production. “The increase in poultry herds, the increase in the area of ​​vegetables and fruit trees has helped the Hanoi agricultural market to be stable, not under much pressure from the Covid-19 epidemic. On the other hand, good disease control and concentrated pig herd re-focus also contribute significantly to the growth of the industry. Specifically, the herd of pigs increased by 18.2%, poultry increased by 5.4%, aquatic production increased by 2.9% compared to the first quarter of 2020 “- Mr. Chu Phu My analyzed.

For example, in Dong Anh district, in the Spring crop of 2021, the whole district cultivated 866ha of all kinds, an increase of 10ha compared to the Spring crop in 2020, focusing on high-value leafy vegetables; At the same time, to increase herd and re-herd of pigs, chickens, buffaloes, cows and poultry. Up to now, the district’s pig herd has reached over 43,400 heads, an increase of 12% over the same period last year.
However, the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development also warned of barriers to the growth target of 4.2% this year. That is, the epidemic situation in livestock and poultry is still complicated, especially the African swine fever, while there are not many slaughterhouses in the city that focus on ensuring safety and protection. food birth. On the other hand, raw material prices for animal feed still tend to increase; Inadequacies in policies to encourage enterprises to invest in agriculture and rural areas have not been basically removed. Production using high technology, linking in chains, increasing the rate of product processing is still limited.
Synchronize many solutions
In order to promote the strong growth of the agricultural sector in the coming time, enterprises and cooperatives must actively follow the consumption market. At the same time, to continue to build and promote effectively active production – consumption models. From a business perspective, the director of An Viet Group Joint Stock Company Do Hoang Thach shared that the company will give priority to building a plan to supply agricultural products to link production – consumption with farmers and cooperatives in the context of The market scene is forecasted to continue to have many fluctuations due to the impact of the epidemic.
Currently, in addition to focusing on taking care of the Spring crop, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Hanoi is cooperating with localities to plan the Winter crop, suitable for the production situation and market demand. At the same time, to strengthen the building of models for linking production – product consumption, focusing on converting the plant variety structure in the production of rice and short-term vegetables; to expand the production area of ​​flowers and ornamental plants with high economic efficiency.
In the livestock sector, according to the Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Huy Dang, along with supporting businesses and cooperatives to develop a closed livestock chain, the Department will focus on building link chain models and supply chain point, in which cooperatives, manufacturing, processing and consuming enterprises are at the forefront. In addition, the Department will pilot a number of key livestock communes to become disease-free facilities to develop disease-free zones. On the other hand, continue to convert inefficient rice-cultivated low-lying fields in some localities to aquaculture models applying new technology.

“Along with accompanying businesses and cooperatives to develop the chain of production – consumption of agricultural products, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development coordinates with the Department of Industry and Trade of Hanoi to develop a plan to ensure the supply of raw materials for the product. export. ” – Director of Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Chu Phu My

Want immediate effect

Dr. Nguyen Ba Phu, Department of Crop Production (Faculty of Agriculture, Can Tho University) said that in recent years, many gardeners renovate mixed gardens and a movement to establish specialty gardens in some localities is emerging.

Efficiency and profits increase if farmers know to invest in the right direction and apply the right care techniques. Currently in the Mekong Delta, the provinces of Soc Trang, Hau Giang, An Giang and Can Tho city … organize many training programs on cultivation techniques, cultivation of specialty orchards in the direction of sustainability.

Although understanding and understanding techniques to build specialized gardens in a sustainable direction, some gardeners still have not changed their practice in a new way.

The farming methods, applying new technical advances, training the majority of farmers agree, and think in the right direction. If you do, the garden will be “solid”, sustainable and completely applicable.

However, there are still some gardeners who believe that applying methodical techniques, the tree will take long to produce high-yield fruits, it takes time, because the psychological pressure of “eating in the same place”, wants to follow the tree to produce fruit. profit quickly, high profit even only 3-5 years.

Therefore, when realizing that the market for fruit varieties is attracting products for one or two consecutive years with high prices, they rush to find seeds to buy and plant for them. Some people are even ready to cut down orchards that are giving fruit if after only one or two seasons the fruit price falls and it is difficult to sell.

For example, some gardeners planting persimmon tangerines (also known as tangerines) in Lai Vung district (Dong Thap) admitted: Since 2 years ago, there were signs of pests and diseases “raiding” many orchards.

However, some gardeners still accept to pour billions of capital into tangerine gardens, even dig soil up, buy land from the fields and pour it in to hope to gain silver in the tangerine season.

However, due to the wrong care and prevention of pests and diseases, the disease has worsened and the garden gradually deteriorates. Some farmers often spread word of mouth to each other about prevention and treatment.

Pink mandarin trees have two quite common diseases, for each root rot disease, they buy Ridomil to control plant diseases, and mealybugs buy Nokaph (medicine to treat nematodes and pests in the soil), even in gardens that are not diseased. also bought for prevention before, every 2 months and considered as “miracle”.

As a result, as now seen, many pink tangerine orchards get worse and worse, they have to ask for help from scientific staff to find the right gardening method.

Currently, Soc Trang province organizes a training program on the model of building a special-purpose orchard specializing in citrus trees for farmers. Thereby improving knowledge, updating farming techniques, applying new technologies in fruit production. This model is applied by growers quite popularly in the fruit export cooperatives.

It is an open way to improve garden economic efficiency. The local government acts as a bridge to create a link between agricultural cooperatives – businesses – scientists. In which the role of scientist will guide farming techniques for cooperatives farmers.

Technical solutions for sustainable fruit production in the Mekong Delta

Dr. Nguyen Ba Phu proposed a number of technical solutions for planting and taking care of fruit trees in the Mekong Delta.

Select and improve soil: Soil has a pH of 6-7. The soil must be loose and airy, able to hold moisture and drain well, the arable layer is thick (at least 0.5 m) and stable.

Seedlings from good, selected seedlings, preferably from the best clones. There is an appropriate propagation method, free of diseases (special attention is paid to green leaf yellowing disease and Tristeza on citrus trees).

About the planting type, should be planted in rows. Rows in the wind direction (Northeast – Southwest). Spacing between thin rows, on thick rows.

Preparation of growing tissue and planting: All the soil above and below the base of the tissue (0.3 m) is soil mixed with organic fertilizer (5 – 10 kg) and fused phosphate fertilizer (0.5 – 1 kg). The tissue diameter should be about 1 – 1.2 m. The tissue height should be about 0.3 – 0.4 m. When placing plants, pay attention to the surface of the pot to be level with the tissue surface and tighten the soil around the pot.

Applying the process of pruning properly, creating canopy will help fruit trees for good design and quality. Photo: HD.

Trimming, creating canopy: Apply right in the stage of silk, from a young tree. Trees for fruits outside the canopy (citrus, mango, longan …) need to create a canopy with hemispherical shape or open heart, according to the principle of 1 branch leaving 2-3 branches (equally good, sparse, balanced).

Cutting time: Old leaves, just before or after fertilizing, combine bud control at the same time. For fruit trees on the main branch (durian, jackfruit …), create a crown shaped tree (pine canopy), keeping a main stem, growing straight.

Choose to keep level 1 branches (branches growing from the main body) with criteria for good branches, horizontal growth, evenly distributed, 20-30 cm apart. Can bend level 1 branches, creating the shape of a spiral staircase. Pay attention to keep level 1 branches during the fruit harvest.

Hygienic pruning should be carried out throughout the planting period, especially after harvest.

Cut off branches reaching high and shade (control canopy), pests, dry branches, branches that are not capable of bearing fruit … Keep appropriate canopy. Always leave a space between the two rows to help the garden clear. Keep a reasonable height of the garden for easy care and intensive farming.

Fertilize: Plants need to be provided with 13 essential nutrients: Macronutrients (N, P and K); intermediate (Ca, Mg and S); trace elements (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, B, Mo and Cl). In the Mekong Delta, fertilizers containing S should be limited, since most of the soil contains S in high levels.

Lime: should use limestone (CaO) “phi”, fertilizing in the beginning of the rainy season, fertilizing with soil pH. If the pH is above 6.5, there is no need for liming; pH from 5.5 to 6.5, applying 500 kg of limestone / ha; pH from 4.5 to 5.5, apply 1,000 kg of limestone / ha; pH from 3.5 to 4.5, apply 2,000 kg of limestone / ha.

Organic fertilizer: Chewable and properly composted. During the incubation process, it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate humidity (about 70 – 80%) and to mix the compost pile. Applying in the dry season, the amount of fertilizer is 10-20 tons / ha. Do not use together lime and organic fertilizers.

Inorganic fertilizers: Need to determine the type and amount of fertilizer depending on the needs of the plant. Plants have different nutritional requirements depending on the stage of growth and each stage of fruit development.

In the period of silk (trees without fruit), fertilizers (N – P2O5 – K2O): 30 – 20 – 10 or 30 – 10 – 10. The amount of fertilizer is from 50-100 g / time. Fertilizer time when leaves are old, should not be applied when the leaves are young. Need to fertilize according to the canopy, burial or watering.

Reasonable vegetation should be maintained in orchards. Photo: LHV

It is advisable to combine cultivating and improving lettuce with fused phosphate, organic fertilizer and sedimentation. Micronutrients can be added by spraying leaves at silk leaves, combined with pruning measures, helping plants to sprout simultaneously. The type and amount of manure can be decreased depending on the type of tree, soil area, density and yield of the previous crop.

Note: Apply according to the canopy (active root zone). The manure must be buried in the soil (using a hoe or machine to mix the fertilizer).

Fused phosphate fertilizers (Ninh Binh, Van Dien, Lam Thao) should be used, especially on low pH soils in the Mekong Delta. In addition to containing phosphorus, molten phosphate also contains Ca, Mg, Si and some trace elements.

Grass management: Should let the grass in the garden, weeding clean the part close to the base, around should only cut, leave the grass stump about 3 – 5 cm.

Water management and irrigation techniques: Water systems in garden ditches must be well ventilated and downstream. Regularly change the water in garden ditches.

Keep the water level in the ditch about 0.6 m from the trench surface during the dry season and 0.8 m. In the rainy season, limit watering to the leaves. Do not water after 3pm. Best in the morning. Maintain a suitable soil moisture of 70 – 80%.

Pest management: Adopt integrated pest management (IPM), make full use of farming practices. Apply biological methods. Using agricultural medicine is the last resort and must adhere to the 4 correct principle.

How to exploit fruit and flower processing: should exploit fruit concentratedly. Should not “pass” fruit (many sizes of fruit) on the tree. Depending on the natural conditions, choose the appropriate time to process the flowering so that the fruit has good quality, high yield, less pests and strong plants. Keep a reasonable number of fruits (pruning) depending on the growth situation (leaf set) of the tree.

It is possible to combine the use of soil “cropping” method (about 30 cm deep) to both treat flowering and improve soil porosity and ventilation.
