An area of ​​1,000m2 of melons is grown in a membrane house, applying advanced farming techniques according to Israel’s high technology, using organic fertilizers, misting irrigation of the Cooperative for Production and Consumption of Safe Vegetables Long Thuan, Hong District Ngu, after more than 70 days of cultivation, has now started harvesting to supply the market. In this crop, the weather is favorable, the melon yield is about 3.5 tons/1,000m2, of which the weight of each fruit is 1.7 – 2.5kg. With the selling price of 40,000 VND/kg, minus investment expenses, the cooperative earned a profit of over 20 million VND. In particular, the pairs of melons planted with pictures, engraved letters according to orders for double profits. Currently, in Hong Ngu district, some farmers have boldly converted traditional farming methods to organic farming to meet market demand. Investing in a membrane house to grow melons is initially costly (several tens of millions of dong/house, depending on the area) but in return, it limits pests and diseases, and produces safe products, so the cultivation efficiency after each crop is nearly high. twice that of the outside.

Mr. Negi has personally turned the barren land in the cold desert of Himachal Pradesh into a green oasis. (Source: YouTube) In 1977, the Government of India began an ambitious program to reduce the negative effects of desertification in the hot and cold deserts of this Asian country. Mr. Anand Dhawaj Negi was working in the finance department in charge of the Desert Development Program at the time and had seen millions of dollars spent with no real results. Whenever he asked the scientists and program officials about the results, the answer was always that they lacked the technology to grow any sustainable crops in harsh environments. desert . The son of a farmer himself, Negi was tired of excuses and took a leave of absence in 1999 to fix the problem himself. In 2003, he decided to quit his job to focus all of his energy on his growing desert oasis. Mr. Negi has personally turned the barren land in the cold desert of Himachal Pradesh into a green oasis just for everyone, especially the farmer struggling in the region, seeing desert reclamation as entirely possible. It was not an easy thing to do, but the former official knew what he had to do and had the ambition and patience to get through it. Mr. Negi’s first attempt failed as the seeds did not have enough water to grow. He overcame this first challenge by planting by contour, tilling the soil along a consistent height to capture rainwater and reduce soil erosion. At the same time he works with the local community to create irrigation canal The shallows channel runoff from glaciers about 25km away. After witnessing this process, the local irrigation department also began to cooperate. “The irrigation department supplies water to this area. Before that, water was not provided until before June. I connected to the Kuhls area and managed to get a water supply in April and May. When we did, the Irrigation Department also cooperated and ensured a regular water supply here,” Mr. Negi told Down to Earth. But water is just one of the challenges this frigid desert region poses. Sandy soil lacking nutrients is another problem. To provide enough nutrients for the crops he wanted to grow, Mr. Negi started a farm with about 300 Chigu goats and mixed their manure with earthworms to effectively double the nitrogen content of the soil. . This also helps the clover hectares he planted around the oasis to thrive. In the past, clover would fade away as new plants grew. It was the clover growing area that overcame the problem Mr. Negi had at first, a rodent attack. These species will come to eat the delicious plants, so the farmer must plant clover in the legume family around the more valuable crops. Because hares love clover, when there is an abundance of this plant, they don’t bother with other plants. Since starting his job in Himachal Pradesh, Mr. Negi has spent all his money experimenting with combining local farming techniques with more scientific farming methods. It’s a laborious process, but over time the tree mortality rate drops from about 85% to just 1%. After proving that valuable crops such as peas, potatoes, green beans, apples and apricots could be grown even in harsh desert environments, the former official began to focus on long-lasting greenery. years, as he considers them essential to combat climate change in the region. “My first priority here is reforestation. Fake acacia is the most planted. Then there are willows and wild apricots. As for fruit trees and other crops, including green beans, I planted them only as a model for people to replicate,” said Mr. Negi. With just the help of two volunteers, Mr. Anand Dhawaj Negi transformed a cold desert area of ​​more than 90 hectares into a green oasis, receiving praise from both locals and scientists. People come from far and wide to witness this real-life miracle, some buying Negi’s natural fertilizer to grow their own crops and others bringing their livestock to eat clover, the fodder for livestock. cattle are considered the best in the region. Mr. Anand Dhawaj Negi has turned a cold desert area of ​​more than 90 hectares into a green oasis. Sadly, Anand Dhawaj Negi, the desert healer, passed away last month at the age of 74 from a stroke. He will be remembered as a local hero and the green oasis project hopes to be preserved as a reminder that nothing is impossible. Negi’s family intends to continue his work, but has asked the government to take responsibility for the oasis and help the family in its conservation. Virender Sappa Negi, Mr. Negi’s wife, told The Better India news site: ‘Before he said goodbye to us, he planned to plant some evergreen or conifers such as pines and deciduous trees. We want to fulfill these last wishes of his. In addition, we want the state government to take responsibility for this oasis so that his work can inspire future generations.” Anand Dhawaj Negi has become one of the many Indian legends who devoted their lives to afforestation like Uttarakhan’s “Tree Man” or Aditya and Poonam Singh.

The Guyan Painting Township is located in Bihu Town and Dagangtou Town, Liandu District, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. It is only 20 kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​Lishui. It consists of two parts, the “Guyan” and the “Painting Township” on both sides of Daxi. We know that Lishui is the prefecture-level city with the largest land area in Zhejiang Province. It is known as the “No. 1 City in the National Ecological Environment” and is known as the “Zhejiang Green Valley”. As the cultural epitome of ecology and humanity in Lishui, Guyan Painting Town, this ancient town can be said to be beautiful and wonderful. It is a typical representative of the Jiangnan water town. It has the most magnificent scenery of the eight hundred miles of Ou River. It attracts every year. A large number of art lovers come here to sketch and create. Nowadays, Guyan Painting Village has become a well-known art hometown in China, and it is a base for art sketching, artistic creation, oil painting production and photography creation. How can you miss the glorious and heroic beauty of Tongjiyan when you come to Guyan Painting Village. It was built in the Southern Dynasties and is one of the five major water conservancy irrigation projects in ancient my country. It has a history of more than 1,500 years. It is composed of arched dams, Tongji sluices, stone letters, leaf caves, channels, pole sluices, lake ponds, etc. Part of the composition is a bamboo-like water conservancy irrigation system that focuses on attracting the public and taking into account the storage and drainage. It is the first batch of selected World Irrigation Project Heritage in China and the only World Irrigation Project Heritage in Zhejiang Province. It was even selected a few years earlier than the famous Zheng Guoqu and Dujiangyan. The entire water conservancy project has set two “world’s best”, namely, the world’s earliest arched dam and the world’s earliest overpass. Together with related ancient roads, inscriptions, buildings, etc., they are both precious and important cultural relics. Study precious materials of ancient water conservancy projects in my country. Since we talked about Tongji Weir, Yantou Village, a thousand-year-old village built around the weir, naturally has to be mentioned. It is named after the weir and is the core area of ​​the ancient weir painting village landscape. Not only is the historical environment long and unique, but the natural scenery is also extremely beautiful. The neatly arranged courtyard courtyard and the exquisitely carved horse head wall show an antique charm against the backdrop of the towering ancient weir. It is one of the birthplaces of the famous “Barbizon Oil Painting” and the creative base of the hometown of Chinese photography. Dagangtou Village, the “land of painting” across the river, has small bridges and flowing water, stone alleys, ancient houses and ancient streets, as well as Pinghu Qiuyue, Lanyan Misty, and Lonely Fishing Boat. The ancient camphor tree of thousands of years old, lush and luxuriant, witnessed the long history of the ancient village, the century-old streets full of fireworks, gentle and poetic, isolated from the chaos and hustle and bustle. There is no extreme prosperity here, only the drunk years and the intoxicating warm wind. Wandering between the ancient villages, whether it is the scene or the painter, it is the most beautiful scenery in the ancient town.

Sil Pop’s coffee garden applies economical irrigation to reduce costs. Photo: D.L. Garden improvement techniques Sil Pop (36 years old), a J’rai ethnic in Yo 2 village, Ia Ka commune (Chu Pah district, Gia Lai) has a 3-hectare coffee garden in his home garden. He said, this coffee garden family has been nearly twenty years. Initially, the coffee garden was green and had a high harvest due to the new land, moreover the price of coffee at that time was good, so he and many other households boldly invested in the garden. However, for a long time, the orchards have deteriorated due to improper care, the initial selection of varieties is not good, and the price of coffee has continuously plummeted, so there is no money to invest in the garden. “For several years, watching the coffee garden gradually degraded, yielding low, the price dropped to the bottom, my family was sad,” said Sil Pop. In 2018, Sil Pop decided to bring his coffee garden to participate in Ia Mo Nong Agricultural Production – Trade – Service – Tourism Cooperative (Cooperative). By 2019, the VnSAT project will install the sprinkler irrigation system at the root, Sil Pop is the first out of a total of nearly 200 ethnic minority households to participate in the installation of this system. Spending 43,592,000 VND (50% of the project’s counterpart), he bought plumbing, valves, pumps, digging wells… for the sprinkler irrigation system. Under each coffee tree is a water pipe about 40cm above the ground. From here, every time you water, just turn on the switch and the system will bring water to each coffee tree. Sil Pop said: For the first time, just open the power bridge, water for about 5-6 hours is enough. After 10 days of watering again the second phase, just 2 hours is enough water for coffee plants. Depending on the weather each year, watering more or less. “Since the installation of the sprinkler irrigation system, taking care of the coffee garden is very easy. Just open the bridge and then… go play, when it’s time to turn off the bridge, the job is done. It’s not like before, you have to bend your back and drag the water pipe to every coffee tree,” said Sil Pop. According to Sil Pop, since applying the sprinkler irrigation system to the root, his family’s garden quickly turned green again, as if there was a “miracle”. Sil Pop next to a lush coffee garden, thanks to the application of sprinkler irrigation technology. Photo: TA Outstanding efficiency Mr. Le Van Thanh, Director of the cooperative said: The application of sprinkler irrigation technology at the root has brought great efficiency to the coffee garden. According to Mr. Thanh, applying this irrigation technology has saved a lot in the process of investment and care for the garden. The first is to save labor: If before, it would take a lot of time to pull pipes to irrigate each tree, unlike now, just open the bridge and finish; In the process of watering, farmers can take advantage of making branches or doing other jobs. Applying this irrigation technology has also saved up to 50% of water according to the previous irrigation method, because the water goes to the root without evaporating or spilling to other places like traditional irrigation. If before, each watering required 450-500 liters of water for each coffee tree, now only half is enough. The amount of fertilizer is also significantly saved because the fertilizer is quantified, put into the water system to bring to each tree, avoiding the case of a lot of roots, less fertilizer, or scattered fertilizer throughout the garden. Then save electricity, save health… “If this system is not installed, this year’s coffee garden will probably be left to die due to a serious lack of water this year,” Sil Pop said. Saving is like that, but the effect brought is a big surprise. According to Sil Pop, in addition to saving labor and investment costs, applying this irrigation technology has significantly improved the quality of orchards: The fruit is larger, stronger and stronger, the yield is superior to the old farming method. . After the first year of applying sprinkler irrigation technology at the root, his garden harvested over 5 tons of kernels/ha. “This crop will probably yield five and a half to six tons per hectare,” Sil Pop said happily. In the harsh climatic conditions, many gardens do not dare to boldly apply science and technology, so the productivity is reduced, Sil Pop’s coffee garden is indeed a model worth learning. Commenting on Sil Pop’s orchard, Mr. Thanh said: “Sil Pop is the member household with the most methodical investment in the coffee garden. Thanks to this right investment, every year, his family’s orchard leads in both yield and quality of fruit. For many years in a row, Sil Pop has been recognized as a good farmer.” According to Mr. Thanh, it was difficult at first to mobilize ethnic minority households to apply this irrigation technology, because people had to “see and then believe”. Since seeing Sil Pop’s application and being effective, many member households who are ethnic minorities have voluntarily followed, bringing positive effects to the orchard. “Sil Pop deserves to be a pioneer in the movement of applying technology to agricultural production of the people of Yo 2 village,” Thanh affirmed. Ia Mo Nong Agricultural Production – Trade – Service – Tourism Cooperative has over 500 member households, with over 700 hectares of coffee. In which, about 190 member households are ethnic minorities. Thanks to learning Sil Pop’s method, up to now, the coffee garden of the people has improved significantly in quality and productivity, which is superior to the backward traditional farming method.

In the cool afternoons under the veranda, listening to the rustling of leaves on the roof, my father often said that the memory of Uncle Hai would never fade in my grandmother’s heart. I once asked her, “What color are your memories?”. “It’s the color of ripe plums.” Looking up at the plum tree in front of my house for a long time, I still don’t understand why the memory brings such a popular and rural fruit color? She smiled, “when you grow up, you will understand”. It was a time when the wind was strong, and the plum tree in front of the house rustled again. On nights like that, Grandma had trouble sleeping. She lay tossing and turning, sometimes sitting up, turning on the canna lamp (chili shaped) in front of the porch. North of a small chair, grandmother sat there and stared blankly at the plum tree in front of the yard. Far away is the river, where the fishing lights go on forever. Where in the past, she rowed a canoe to take him across the river to the base, where Uncle Hai got off the boat to the north to protect the border. And the riverbank in the grandmother’s heart always carries the color of loneliness and pain about a belief that is lying deep somewhere, far away. Grandma used to tell us about the plum tree in her front yard. She said that when she went to the north, Uncle Hai wrote to say that plum tree, in the north called whip tree and in the central part called peach tree. Each place has a different name, but plum is still a fragrant home garden fruit and is associated with the nostalgia of many children far from home. In my memory, my plum tree is tall and wide, covering an entire yard. The plum branches are long, reaching as far as the eaves. A few walks of fallen leaves on the corrugated iron roof, at night the wind pushes the palm branches into rustling sounds. Although I know it’s hard for old people to sleep, when I see my grandmother tossing and turning all night, my father is also worried. He intended to cut the plum branch, so that the night wind would not rustle the roof. Hearing that, grandma didn’t like it. She said, thanks to the wide canopy, the yard is cool from the road to the house. Besides, this branch has been bearing fruit for the past few seasons, and she feels sorry to have cut it down. I know, grandma has another belief. When she stood under the tree, she looked aimlessly at the plums laden with branches, her heart was not willing to cut down any branches full of memories. When I was a child, I could not hold the armor of a tree. I wish I grew up quickly, so that I could wrap my arms around the tree easily. But strangely, when I grew up, there was still no way to hold the armor with one arm. Hearing that, my grandmother patted my head and smiled: “Every day you grow up, the tree grows like you every day.” At that time, I wondered again: “Why does the seedling come like that, does the tree have thoughts too?”. She nodded: “That’s right, trees, like people, also know how to think, also know how to love and give fruit to those who feed it.” I pondered again and asked: “So the tree has parents and grandparents? Who gave birth to the plum tree?” She was silent and did not speak, perhaps she did not know how to answer so that her five-year-old grandson could clearly understand. She patted my head again and said: “You will understand when you grow up!”. I believe, and I firmly believe in her words, that there are things that you don’t understand until you grow up! The times I climbed up the swinging plum tree, looked down at the porch, where my grandmother sat beside a basket of plums and a few fluttering betel leaves, I saw my grandmother storing up a treasure trove of memories of Uncle Hai. At that time, I believed more and more, there are things that when I grow up, I understand clearly. At the age of twenty, I followed my father and grandmother to the border. A few days before the day of the trip, she asked me to go down to the river to draw up a bucket of water, she digs around the soil at the plum tree in front of the house and then sprinkles the water meticulously and carefully. Like a diligent and dedicated gardener. She pulled out all the grass around the tree, leaving only the roots that sprouted from the big, rough roots that sprouted a bit into the ground. I wonder why it has to be the river’s water to water the plants. Why not pull the tap water, water the plants, both fast and convenient. She smiled, her mouth was full of grace: “River water carries heavy silt, nutrients like the milk of the mother river, helping the tree to bear fruit”. Grandma used to go around the plum tree. As she walked, she collected crushed ripe fruit and fallen leaves and gathered them in one place. She lit up the smoke, fragrant plum smoke, fluttering in the afternoon, mixing with the color of her hair. At that time, my heart suddenly fluttered, for the first time in my life, I realized that my grandfather was old. And the time she spent with her children and grandchildren also gradually shortened. A few days later, we went to the border. She said “go pick up Hai”. Sitting on the train, Grandma still couldn’t stop hugging plums. Those are the biggest, tastiest fruits I’ve ever picked. Grandmother has selected to save to bring to the border, “for the uncles”. Along the way, she never stopped talking passionately about her child. She said that in the past, she was pregnant with Uncle Hai until nine months and twenty days before giving birth. The baby was so big, weighing more than four kilograms, she thought she wouldn’t make it. But the child loves his mother, so he tries to pull away. She said, my uncle Hai from a young age loved fruit trees. Grandpa saw that, so he planted dozens of stone plum trees around the house for green fruit. But unfortunately, in the water season of the year of the Dragon, the water soaked for several months, the trees died, there was only one plum tree in front of the house. After the water season that year, Grandfather entered the resistance base before he had time to replant some new plum trees around the house. Uncle Hai was only ten years old, without a father, he taught himself how to take care of the tree and nourish the only remaining plum tree that did not die despite experiencing many floods. That year, the plum tree blossomed with big and delicious fruit, Uncle Hai climbed up and broke almost the whole basket, loaded it into a backpack, and carried it to the base for his father. But who knows, that was also the last time he saw his grandfather. After that time the base was bombed, he turned into clouds and wind, but his grandfather still lived with the breath of the mountains and forests of his homeland, with the plum branches he cultivated. Grandma said, my grandfather lived a holy life, so over the past few decades with so many flood seasons, the plum tree is still green and growing bigger and bigger. Uncle Hai’s plum garden from the mother tree in the front yard is also growing. Peace restored. The plum trees from the fruit of two generations have a chance to pay off. But it was only four years before the border had an enemy. Uncle Hai followed the call of the mountains and rivers, put on a small backpack and a water bottle, and set off. Before leaving, grandma still carried some plums in her hand, hoping that if she missed the road, there would be fruit to her stomach. Before we went to the border to pick up Uncle Hai, the bad season started to sow the wind. Because of the rustling branches of the tree or because the grandmother’s dreams were fluttering, she was always tired every morning. She said that last night, she dreamed that Uncle Hai came back. Uncle carried a backpack filled with stone plums. As she remembers it very well, she hugged Uncle Hai, crying bitterly: “Hai, where are you, my mother looked for me but couldn’t find me”. Uncle Hai said, Grandma affirmed that the voice was exactly the same as the old uncle’s voice, with no difference: “I’m going to plant plums, when the plum season is ripe, I’ll message my mother to pick me up.” After he finished speaking, he left, then the sound of plum branches rustling on the porch. Grandmother woke up in the phobia of the pain of losing her husband and children. She quickly ran to the yard of the house, stopped at the plum tree, looked at the river in front of the house, she called “Hai, Hai, where are you so that my mother can pick me up, Hai!”. After that delirium, my father thought that he must set out to find Uncle Hai. Dad goes from year to year. Every year during the summer vacation, he goes on the road again. Working hard across the border strip, in the end, heaven did not let people down. Dad grabbed a few clues about Uncle Hai, when he stopped at the foothills planted with plums and green fruits. My father reunited with his brother’s teammates. The uncles, the uncles recounted, when he first joined the unit, he boasted to his teammates that he had brought a “delicious” southern plum with him. But there are only a few fruits, how can I divide them equally among the units, so my uncle Hai spent time incubating and planting. Uncle fought while carefully cultivating the roots and watering carefully little by little for the plums that had just sprouted. In the severe cold northern seasons, you have to keep the plants warm so they don’t die. Uncle took care of plums like taking care of his hometown soul. The uncles and uncles said sadly, there was a time when enemy artillery suddenly bombarded the hill, my uncle died in that battle, but the plum trees he planted were still lucky to survive and turn green. My uncle lost his grave, it took several decades for his former comrades to find him, but he did not know where to find his relatives. The comrades laid him down beside the plum trees to overcome the fire, they tried to preserve and take care of the southern plum tree that his comrades had left behind on this land. The land was already slightly human, so the stone plum trees took root on the hills of the North. A few years later, when they produced green fruit, the teammates had the opportunity to return to eat a delicious piece of grass, but sadly missed a teammate. On the day of Uncle Hai’s reburial, in addition to the remains, we also brought back a few kilograms of plums from the tree he planted. Placed in front of Grandfather’s grave and Uncle Hai’s grave, white moon-smoky incense flies aimlessly… Strangely enough, the plums we brought back and the plums from the tree in front of the house were exactly the same, even though the two trees were grown in two different regions. differ in both soil and climate. Grandma sat in front of Uncle Hai’s grave, peeled a piece of stone plum and put it in my hand, her voice was cool and sweet as if it contained the aroma of plants and trees in the garden: “When you are old like her, you will understand. Just like the color of plum, memory is a color that lasts forever!”

According to people in Vinh Chau, if the time of planting onions to keep seeds starts from April and May of the lunar calendar, the commercial onion crop (the main production crop) falls around September of the lunar calendar, lasting until after Tet about 2 months. , 3 months. Due to the short life cycle, every year, people grow onions continuously for 3 to 4 crops. First, about onions, people carefully choose dark purple bulbs, firm, do not grow young roots, round bottoms, no signs of pests. After that, people peeled the top shell and planted it. The volume of onion seed corresponding to about 1,000 m2 of arable land is 70-90 kg. In terms of soil, because this type of agricultural product does not like water, when making land, people often make high beds to avoid waterlogging. In addition, people always focus on growing onions, which must fall in the rainy months to avoid tuber rot. After planting, farmers cover a thin layer of straw on top and then water to create enough moisture for the soil beds. After about 2 months of planting, when the onion leaves turn red, wilt and fall on the bed, farmers will harvest. For easy transportation, people pull up onions and then dry the whole plant for about 2 to 3 days for the leaves to dry completely, limiting leaf rot that affects the tubers. Fertilizer formula can be changed according to the soil, weather and green color of onions. If the onion is bad, you should water it with SA or DAP to make the leaves and roots grow, don’t water the leaves will stretch out (cow onion) to create difficult tubers. In terms of care, in the first 10 days watering 1 to 2 times / day, 11 days onward watering every 2 days, the amount of water changed from 1,000 m2 / time (400 to 600 liters / time) and stopped watering completely. 1 week before harvest. The amount of water must be increased steadily, if watering irregularly, the tubers will be torn. Weeding twice in the first 35 days, avoiding late pulling of onions will cause damage to roots and tubers. Spray regularly, especially in bad weather. While growing purple onions often appear major pests such as omnivorous worms, green worms, onion flies (onion borer maggots) … need to spray insecticides alternately with microbiological drugs, to prevent reaching effective. In the period of 55 to 60 days, the tubers turn red, the leaves have fallen 80%, then start pulling, usually 2 to 3 days in the sun to soften the leaves for easy transportation. Onions should be harvested only on dry days. Pull out the tubers to keep the soil clean, put them in a basket and transfer to a place of storage, to avoid scratching or crushing the outer skin, which will affect the storage period. For onions produced in February and March of the solar calendar, to keep as seeds, harvest 40 to 45 days after planting (old bulbs stop growing so they can be damaged for a long time). How to preserve: sun-dried for 10 to 15 days, the straw is really dry, must be free of pests and diseases, piled high, covered with a layer of straw for every layer of onion, the straw is in the open air, or hangs a bunch of onions in a well-ventilated place .

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)

Xuan Huong was born and raised in Vietnam. Then she immigrated to America. Currently, she enjoys the housewife life, taking care of her family and unleashing her passion for all kinds of quince in her garden. Ms. Huong shared: “ Before, I planted a lot of flowers, I like to plant for fun because my house is quite large. At first, I did not grow Quynh but planted a variety of varieties such as roses, chrysanthemums… However, realizing that other flowers take a lot of time to care for, prune, and water daily, I decided to choose primrose, which is both easy to care for and blooms brilliantly. I usually focus on taking my kids to school, cooking, and spending more time with myself “. Previously, she also tried to grow many different types of flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses… However, most of the flowers she planted need a lot of time to take care of. Therefore, she has researched and chosen to plant varieties of rhododendrons, flowers that bloom brilliantly but don’t take much care. Her garden is therefore always lush and impressive. A corner of rhododendrons is blooming brilliantly. Ms. Xuan Huong beside the blooming sunflowers. Initially, Ms. Huong planted a few varieties of rhododendrons and found this to be a suitable variety for warm climates. The tree also has many colors, flowers bloom beautifully, is durable and does not require much care. Up to now, Ms. Huong’s garden has more than 200 different types of Quynh. The more I grow, the more I love it, so I don’t stop buying more of my favorite varieties to plant. Among all types of Quynh, my favorite is Quynh sen (German Empress) because the flowers bloom for the longest time compared to other types of Quynh. Each flower can bloom for about 7 days while other types of rhododendrons only last 2-3 days. The color of the flowers is similar to that of Vietnam’s lotus bud, so every time Quynh blooms, she misses her hometown more. A brilliant garden corner, showing off her fragrance with the types of Quynh that she loves. The characteristic of Quynh is that it likes light sunshine, under a sheltered place, little watering, dry soil. Quynh blooms can be fresh for up to 1 week, helping her garden always shine very impressively. One corner is placed a lot of potted rhododendrons with different varieties. Ms. Xuan Huong currently grows more than 200 types of quince in her garden. In her spare time, she still spends her time collecting different types of rhododendrons to plant in her garden. Flowers are also quite diverse in color. In her spare time, Ms. Huong often walks around the garden, with time on the weekend she will take advantage of watering more fertilizer. She often plans with a periodic irrigation schedule. On average, she fertilizes flowers once a month. In winter, she gives the plant a break without fertilizing. In the summer, she watered every 3-4 days, in the winter because it was cold, the plants kept moisture well, so she only watered once every 10 days. The owner of the garden shares the secret of flower care: “If I want flowers to bloom beautifully, I usually add bloom booster to promote more flowers. In terms of soil, I plant cactus soil or potting soil that is easy to drain. I don’t like to water a lot, if the soil is moist enough, the plant can grow well. “. Quynh is a flower that does not need much effort to fertilize, does not water a lot, sometimes adding fertilizer periodically is enough to enjoy the brilliant beauty of the flowers. In her free time, Xuan Huong often takes her children to the garden to take care of the sunflowers, learn about nature, and get closer to the trees. This is also the time when she feels happy, relaxed and loves her home and garden more. Thanks to these simple experiences, the garden of Ms. Xuan Huong’s family is always brilliant with all kinds of rhododendrons racing to bloom. I love every little corner of my garden. The charming types of Quynh stand out in the garden like a highlight creating a natural feature, close to nature, helping every member to love their home more every day.

In the summer, this place is covered with green trees and in the snowy winters, this mountain is covered with pure white snow. (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) To get to the top of Omuro, you need to take a cable car with a ticket price of 700 yen (about 150,000 VND) for adults and 350 yen (about 75,000 VND) for children. You can walk around the crater and enjoy the panoramic view of the entire Izu peninsula. On a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji, Oshima Island – the closest large island in the 7 islands of the Izu island chain. The beautiful scenery here will make visitors dazed for a while. (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) If you’d rather experience more than just walking and taking in the beautiful scenery, you can climb down to Omuro crater and hone your archery skills. You may not believe it, but inside this mountain that once spewed fire, lava, limestone and ash is now an archery field. You only need to pay 1,000 yen (more than 200,000 VND) for an hour, including rental fees for bows, bows, gloves and training fees from the staff of the shooting range. An equally fascinating experience for adventurers is paragliding down the slopes of Mount Omuro. (Photo: Internet) After enjoying all the fun on the mountain, you can visit the Izu Shaboten Zoo, which has many cacti, other plants and a large petting zoo. (Photo: Internet) Another place at the foot of Mount Omuro that is very suitable for creating good check-in photos is the Omuro Yamazakura-no-Sato cherry blossom viewing spot. These cherry trees are called jugatsu zakura, which means “October cherry blossoms”. (Photo: Internet) Flowers start to bloom in mid-September and various flowers bloom until early May. Since not everyone can come to Japan in spring, the prime time for cherry blossom viewing and part of the culture. the land of the rising sun, so this is a great choice. Mount Omuro is the perfect backdrop for this beautiful painting of cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Previously, he planted ornamental plants to decorate the balcony. After that, when participating in online tree planting associations and groups and visiting some friends’ gardens, he decided to buy pots and land to plant to have clean vegetables and tubers to provide for family meals. The largest squash that Mr. Liem planted weighed 34.4 kg. “At first, it was quite difficult for me to create a garden because I just started doing it, there were still many things to be surprised about. Besides, it is not easy to transport land and materials to the 4th floor by stairs, “he said. He grows plants in paint buckets because they are durable. Before adding soil, he lined the bottom of the barrel with a layer of coal slag, punched holes in the side, about 5cm from the bottom. The coal slag layer is used to retain water and nutrients. If you are busy with work or away from home for a few days and don’t water your plants, naturally, the roots will find themselves at the bottom to absorb water, so you are not afraid of the plants wilting. Regarding the problem of water seeping into the ceiling, Mr. Liem said: “The pots are all raised by me. The barrels are perforated across the side so that if too much water flows out, I know to stop watering. From there, I avoid the phenomenon of water seeping into the ceiling.” Mr. Liem also advises families who want to plant trees on the terrace, right from the start, they should invest in waterproofing ceilings for peace of mind when starting to work. The biggest fruit in Mr. Liem’s ​​garden is squash. Normally, he gets more than 10kg of fruit, the largest fruit is more than 34kg. However, he said, the large fruit is often pale, not good to eat, so he uses it to make jam or cook squash juice to drink every day. In addition to squash, he also planted “terrible” gourds, kale, and American figs… “Kale is a foreign variety, then imported to Vietnam. I found it interesting and researched on my own how to make cabbage grow well. With American figs, currently, the tree has given fruit to eat. Every day the tree gives about 5-7 fruits, very delicious and sweet”, he said. The white bitter melon is almost as big as a 1.5 liter plastic bottle. Seeing that there were friends in the vegetable growing group showing off white, large fruits of bitter melon, he asked for seeds to plant. Each of these bitter melons can be as big as a 1.5-liter plastic bottle. Mr. Liem spends 2-3 hours/day in the morning and 1-2 hours/day in the afternoon for the garden. He usually watered in the morning and afternoon and limited watering in the evening. In his experience, watering in the evening, drenched in water, will become the ideal environment for pests to develop. “Every day, I have to go up to check for pests. Want less pests, you must treat the soil well, helping pathogens from the ground reduce. To prevent pests and yellow flies from damaging the plants from the outside, I hang more camphor balls to keep them away.” At first, the wife was worried that he would have a hard time planting a garden, but now she is more supportive of her husband because the garden makes him happy. In addition, in recent years, their family no longer has to buy vegetables and fruits from the market. Even if he couldn’t eat it all, Liem’s ​​family also brought gifts to friends and relatives. See more pictures of Mr. Liem’s ​​terrace garden: Oversized squash requires a stand. Mr. Liem also planted “terrible” gourd varieties. Bitter melon is almost as big as a 1.5 liter plastic bottle. Not only big, the rig is also very wrong. My figs give very delicious and sweet fruit. The garden also has very large aloe vera plants. The melons are very long. For many years, Mr. Liem’s ​​family did not have to buy more vegetables and tubers at the market. He also gave it to neighbors and relatives. The kale plants planted by Mr. Liem also give very large leaves. His secret is to focus on quality over quantity, planting only one plant in each pot.

Monarch’s electric plow. Photo: CNN CNN channel (USA) said that the plow was programmed to perform the tasks of digging trenches and reaping and harvesting. Manufacturer Monarch says this electric plow can work for 10 consecutive hours after 5 hours of charging. Although there is no operator, but based on US regulations, the plow is designed to be operated remotely. Thus, the operator can remotely command the plow to stop working when necessary. The plow is also equipped with sensors to avoid collisions with livestock and works automatically next to farmers. Monarch claims that when these electric plows come to market, they can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year, equivalent to the emissions of 14 gasoline-powered cars. In addition, this electric plow has the ability to collect data during operation, helping to provide information about crops and support for farmers to promptly handle arising problems such as lack of irrigation water. … Below is a video simulating the operation of the plow published by Monarch: Monarch expects to sell the first plow in the next two months to farmers in California, Washington and Oregon for an expected price of $50,000. These farmers will work with Monarch to perfect the electric device. Monarch expects to mass produce electric plows by the end of this year. According to Monarch, the electric plow can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in fuel and labor.

The company has automated the voltage and frequency adjustment of the power system to ensure power quality; Reducing the amount of electricity that cannot be supplied to customers, creating more revenue for the electricity industry; Reduce long distance transmission and optimize transmission grid loss. Modernizing the development of electricity meters and remote metering data collection systems has helped to collect complete data on customers’ electricity usage, timely detect problems of the metering system. count. This technology also helps the Company closely monitor the electricity usage mode of customers, especially large customers, and at the same time serve to calculate the unit’s power loss accurately as well as the power loss of the station. public in particular. In addition, the Company also encourages customers to actively adjust or change electricity demand during peak hours. Thereby, reducing the maximum capacity of the power system, reducing the overload of the grid, contributing to improving the economic efficiency of the power system. At the same time, it will also create conditions for the community to be more aware of electricity saving and efficient use of electricity, contributing to the protection of national resources. Ba Ria – Vung Tau Power Company has implemented many measures to reduce power loss With the unremitting efforts of all employees Ba Ria-Vung Tau Power Company in the control of power loss in particular, the rate of power loss continuously decreased from 2015 to 3.97% at 22kV level; in 2019 is 1.75% (including 110kV level) and in 2020 is an impressive number: 1.57% (including 110kV level). With the mission “ Electricity is one step ahead ”, BRVT Power Company has actively invested and upgraded the power grid system, ensuring safe and reliable power supply for tourist centers such as Thuy Van beach (Vung Tau City), Long Hai beach. (Dat Do district), Ho Coc – Ho Tram resort (Xuyen Moc district)… Every year, the Company focuses its capital to invest in preventing overload and strengthening the power grid; Electric islands for industrial shrimp farming, irrigation pumping stations to fight against drought, concave areas without electricity, removing fishing tackle… to meet the demand for irrigation for agricultural production and aquaculture. fisheries and tourism development in the province. Doing a good job of reducing power loss makes a lot of sense. help reduce production costs, increase profits for the company and increase the efficiency of production and business of the unit.

Since the establishment of the Hua Na hydropower reservoir, people in Thong Thu and Dong Van communes (Que Phong district) have had more fish cage farming (photo). Up to now, on this lake surface, there are about 80 households participating in raising 326 fish cages of all kinds; in which many species have high economic value such as sea bass, mackerel, climbing fish, beetle, carp … With the selling price of about 50,000 VND / kg of carp, 100,000 VND / kg of climbing fish, ladybug, 120,000 VND / kg of sea bass and fish has provided farmers with a high and stable income. Among the people who have succeeded in making a living on the reservoir of Hua Na hydroelectricity include Mr. Lang Van Mao from Tuc village (Dong Van commune). In addition to the model of raising fish cages, this Thai ethnic boy also accepts to zonize, plant and protect forests on a floating hill in the lake bed, combine raising pigs, chickens … bamboo) has given him an income of over 100 million VND / year. In addition, Mr. Mao also took a boat carrying tourists to take wedding photos, admire the lake scenery, serve food … earn more income. In addition, at the Ban Ve hydropower reservoir, there are about 338 fish cages currently raised by people in Luong Minh, Huu Khuong and Yen Na communes (Tuong Duong district). In addition to raising fish in cages in the lake bed, people also add fishing in the wild, setting up farms along the lake to raise goats, cows, pigs …

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.

In recent days, households living in hamlet 3, Bau Phuong village, Chau Pha commune (Phu My town, Ba Ria – Vung Tau province) expressed frustration at the Song Ca stream flowing through the area by an enterprise. On the side of Chau Duc Sonadezi Urban Joint Stock Company (referred to as Chau Duc Sonadezi Company, the address of Suoi Nghe commune, Chau Duc district) blatantly dumped the ground level, encroached upon and manipulated the stream flow, leading to the fact that people do not have water for irrigation, the risk of flooding when the rainy season comes.

People are frustrated by the Song Ca stream being filled with soil, occupied

This is a stream located adjacent to two communes: Suoi Nghe, Chau Duc and Chau Pha districts, Phu My town. There are signs of serious encroachment, if there is no timely preventive measures, it will be in danger of “disappearing”.

According to local people, for more than a week, they discovered that many convoys of the enterprise of Sonadezi Chau Duc company carried soil for leveling, then blatantly poured into Song Ca stream, causing the stream bed to be confiscated. narrow, blocked flow.

Mr. Ly Tau Dung (residing in group 3, Bau Phuong village) said that Song Ca stream is a natural stream with a long history, tens of meters wide and stretches from the foot of Da Den lake to Ba Ria city. year is used for flood drainage, at the same time serving irrigation and people’s daily life. However, recently, a business suddenly stopped the flow of land and encroached upon it.

The incident made many households angry, calling for help to the local government for intervention and prevention.

“My family has more than 7 sao of land to grow fruit trees located adjacent to the stream. Every year, we use water from the stream for irrigation. However, the current state of the stream is being leveled and encroached on seriously, afraid that next time there will be no more water to irrigate. Therefore, we earnestly hope that the local government will soon step in to prevent encroachment ”. Mr. Dung shared.

Enterprises pour land straight into the stream, causing the stream bed to narrow

Like Mr. Dung’s family, there are 9 households that share their frustration and face the situation of lack of water for irrigation because the stream is being “killed”, flooded when the rainy season comes. Meanwhile, the households all use water from the stream for irrigation and living.

According to PV’s record on April 13, the area of ​​Song Ca stream corridor was completely encroached upon, soil and rock were poured straight into the stream, causing some points to be blocked, the current status stretches more than 2km along. along the stream.

Worth mentioning, through observation, in addition to stream leveling, this enterprise is currently placing a pipeline system from the direction of Sonadezi Chau Duc industrial park to the Song Ca stream (suspected waste pipe). However, after being discovered by people and Chau Pha commune authorities, the enterprise poured land on the sewer system to “hide”.

Current status of Song Ca stream upstream, near the flood discharge dam of Da Den lake

Before the people reflected, the People’s Committee of Chau Pha commune sent staff to the scene to record the reality. After that, the People’s Committee of the commune issued a written report, requesting the People’s Committee of Phu My town to send a written petition to the People’s Committee of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province and functional departments to quickly coordinate in inspection and settlement.

According to the petition of the People’s Committee of Chau Pha commune, the time when the functional team checked and recorded the land filling and leveling area was in Suoi Nghe commune, Chau Duc district. The current situation of land overflowing into the stream, preventing the flow of about 1/3 of the stream, the land falling is 5–7m higher than the stream site, no embankment, more than 3km in length (paired with the stream bank).

Authorities determined that the filling of stream land was carried out by Chau Duc Sonadezi Urban Joint Stock Company. Through the comparison of maps, cadastral records, the Song Ca stream is 18-21m wide, in fact this company has dumped soil, leveled up 1/2 of the stream’s width.

People exchange the case with PV (right photo) and petition of the People’s Committee of Chau Pha commune

Chau Pha Commune People’s Committee proposed, this is the main stream, leading from the flood discharge dam of Da Den lake (Song Xoai commune, Phu My town) to the downstream of Song Ca stream, serving for agricultural irrigation and water. living in Chau Pha commune in particular and Ba Ria – Vung Tau province in general.

Therefore, the leveling, encroaching, preventing flow leads to the risk of water shortage for irrigation for households. Moreover, the filling of soil, encroachment on stream land, not building embankments when the rainy season comes, the soil will landslide, blocking the entire stream, causing inundation in the rainy season.

Mr. Nguyen Tan Hiep, Chairman of Chau Pha Commune People’s Committee, said that after checking the status of Song Ca stream was encroached upon, seeing that the case was beyond its authority to resolve, the CPC had to report in writing and request the Town People’s Committee. coordinate with the provincial functional branches in handling and timely settlement.

It is known that earlier in the inspection of the current state of the stream, the Chau Pha commune authorities invited the Sonadezi Chau Duc company to work, but this enterprise did not coordinate.

Law Messenger will continue to inform the case!
