Farewell to the hustle and bustle of the city and enter the experimental field for rice transplanting

June is the annual seedling planting season. Parents and families accustomed to city life enthusiastically signed up for this activity and came to the Zhuangxing Comprehensive Experimental Station of the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Fengxian District to get close to nature and visit the experimental field in the atmosphere of agricultural scientific research. , Agricultural greenhouses, laboratory buildings.

To commemorate the “Father of Hybrid Rice” Academician Yuan Longping, this science night specially planned the “Parent-Child Fun Rice Planting” session. Although it was raining, under the guidance of professional scientific research teachers, he rarely did farm work on weekdays, or even did it. Parents and children in the field are enthusiastic, sow their own rice seedlings by themselves, get close to the green and work hard, experience the magical vitality of seedlings, and learn about the difficulty of food research and development, production, sowing and harvesting.

After experiencing the hard work of the field, and seeing the process of rice turning into rice, the children can taste the taste of the latest rice and corn cultivated in Shanghai. At the site of the Zhuangxing Comprehensive Experimental Station of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, a large-scale colored rice field with a length of 200 meters and a width of 100 meters was specially designed and planted, and the participating audience was invited to take photos with it. The audience participating in the event also met the breeders from the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, listened to the story of rice growth, and learned about the mentality of scientific researchers.

The development of “little breeder” in the Quest Lab In the afternoon and night events of this science night, a fun science interactive session was set up to develop a “little breeder”. Participants were invited to enter the Fengpu campus of the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences to explore the secrets of crop breeding and cultivation. Institute, communicate with researchers and laboratory science breeders. The site will be equipped with a microscope to observe the microscopic world, experiment with species, learn the use of centrifuges, experience rice DNA extraction and other scientific experiment interactions. Teenagers will be invited to complete scientific tasks, learn laboratory knowledge by themselves, and become children through understanding basic scientific research. Little agricultural scientist! Have you seen instant corn in different colors? What are the miraculous research and development achievements of rice, grain and oil? There will be an explanation and interactive session at the event site, and the instructor will take you around the session. The artificial climate room with a high temperature and constant temperature environment, the interesting edible fungus scientific research building, the flower greenhouse, and the breeding laboratory will find answers to all kinds of questions in the heart.

The spirit of a scientist, to perceive the mystery and splendor of science. Dongfang.com reporter Cao Lei reported on June 21: Braving the heavy rain, he walked into the experimental field to plant seedlings, clocked in the large-scale colored rice fields, explored the laboratory to complete scientific research tasks, learned about the latest corn, grain, oil, vegetables and fruits cultivated in Shanghai, and cherished the enthusiasm for science. To commemorate Academician Yuan Longping and thank the scientific researchers for their hard work and cultivate the scientific awareness of young people in loving food and saving food. Focusing on the theme of “holding the rice bowl firmly in one’s own hands”, the 2021 Science Night recently held a special event at the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

27P53 hybrid rice model in Thanh Chuong, Nghe An. Pioneer (now Corteva Agriscience) has pioneered in investment, research and development of new generation 3-line hybrid rice varieties. By applying scientific and technological advances, especially molecular biotechnology, successfully hybridized and commercialized the rice variety PHB71, which is one of the first high-quality hybrid rice varieties that retains high yield. planted in Vietnam in 2010. The year 2019 marks a new turning point in the research, introduction, selection and development of 3-line hybrid rice, when Corteva Agriscience launched the 27P53 rice variety. This is a new generation 3-line hybrid rice that has been evaluated by the Scientific Council for Seed Recognition of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as a rice variety with outstanding yield and quality, wide adaptability, good resistance to pests and diseases and adverse external conditions. The variety was officially recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in October 2019. The 27P53 variety has a short TGST, only from 120-125 days in the spring crop, 100-105 days in the summer-autumn crop and the Mekong Delta. After the 27P53 rice variety was officially recognized, farmers in the rice growing areas received and planted it on a large scale throughout the provinces of Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Yen Bai, Cao Bang, Dak Lak… bringing high economic efficiency. . Farmer Luu Xuan Bay, Phu Thanh commune, Yen Thanh, Nghe An, shared: “Through the practice of 3 production seasons, the 27P53 rice variety is easy to sow, the seeds germinate well, the seedling has good cold tolerance, and the tillering is healthy. and concentrated, less ineffective, resistant to pests and diseases. Especially, rice variety 27P53 has outstanding resistance to falling, high yield from 8-9 tons/ha, high quality rice and rice. The rice grain is long, less white, clear, and the rice is soft, and when cooled, the rice still retains its original softness, this is the best hybrid rice variety that I have ever grown. Model of a large sample field (65.67 ha) spring 2021 crop in Yen Thanh, Nghe An. According to Mr. Nguyen Tien Duc, Director of Nghe An Plantation and Plant Protection Sub-Department: “Nghe An is a large hybrid rice growing province with more than 40,000 ha/year. The presence of good varieties such as 27P53 is of great significance to the locality because some varieties have not kept their original stability.” Present in Vietnam since 1995, Corteva Agriscience always strives not only to provide innovative and sustainable solutions but also to improve the quality of life of the community. The introduction of 3-line hybrid rice varieties such as 27P31, 27P53 into production contributes to helping farmers increase productivity, quality and economic efficiency from rice cultivation. “With more than 200 years of expertise and experience in the field of agriculture, as well as for the past 25 years with Vietnam Agriculture, Corteva Agriscience is committed to continuing to accompany Vietnamese farmers”, Mr. Ngo Lanh, Sales Director Corteva Agriscience Vietnam shared. Corteva Agrisciences is a merger of 3 companies Dow AgroSciences, DuPont Crop Protection & DuPont Pioneer with the goal of becoming an independent agricultural company leading in seed technology, pesticides and digital agriculture, helping to maximize optimize farmers’ productivity as well as build a sustainable agriculture globally. DuPont Crop Protection was founded in 1802, Dow AgroSciences was founded in 1897 and Pioneer was founded in 1926. Over the past 200 years, the three companies have provided groundbreaking, sustainable solutions in control. insects, weeds, pests and diseases, and pioneering the research and development of hybrid rice and maize hybrids that help farmers improve yields and crop quality worldwide. 2018 marked a turning point in the history of the global agricultural industry when 3 companies completed the merger to officially operate under the name Corteva Agriscience.

The 5-hectare burdock field in Mac Binh village, Thai Tan commune is invested by Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha, Director of Senfarm Agricultural Cooperative, in association with households in the village, setting up a tree farm. on alluvial land along the Thai Binh river. According to Mr. Ha, burdock is a relatively easy plant, taking care of burdock is only difficult in the first one to 1.5 months because it has to be watered regularly, then the plant grows on its own, almost without care. fertilizer, only waiting to harvest when the plant has matured. Harvesting burdock is also different. Because burdock roots are deep in the ground, with tubers up to 1.2 m long, an excavator must be used. After six months of planting, burdock is only harvested, but the economic efficiency is two to three times higher than that of carrot, which is a traditional local crop. Fresh burdock root is supplied to high-class agricultural stores in Hanoi and food manufacturers at prices ranging from 90,000 to 120,000 VND/kg. Burdock can be grown all year round, which is quite convenient in crop rotation. It should be noted that the soil suitable for burdock is loose soil, preferably alluvial soil in the riverside area. Here, the root system develops well, provides enough nutrients, the tree will grow well, has high resistance to pests and diseases. In addition, the tree does not tolerate waterlogging, so the soil must be able to drain well. Burdock seeds need to be purchased from a reputable establishment that has the ability to grow quickly and has good resistance to pests and diseases. From the successful trial planting, Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha has guided people in the commune to plant and buy burdock root to help them, forming a chain of production and consumption links. Accordingly, some households have switched from growing carrots to burdock. In addition to planting and producing burdock, Senfram Agricultural Cooperative also cooperates with processing factories to market products such as fresh burdock, sliced ​​dried burdock, burdock cake, and other products. fermented burdock products, burdock tea bags…

Dr. Le Hung Phong – Director of the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice (Institute of Food and Food Plants) – with a new generation of hybrid rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Advantages and disadvantages of domestic hybrid rice Dr. Le Hung Phong – Director of the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice (Institute of Food Plants and Food Plants), who was black because of sunburn, just led me to visit the new generation hybrids mentioned. When he was a student at the University of Agriculture I, he himself chose to be a rice breeder, and his graduation thesis was also about hybrid rice, guided by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Tram. She advised: “If you like this job, then go to the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice.” At that time, this unit was just established in 1994. Until now this is still the only research center in this field. According to Mr. Phong, if the southern part of the breed is mainly from the IRRI International Rice Research Institute, the northern part is mainly from China, both hybrid and pure. Research on hybrid rice in our country can be divided into several stages: From 1995 to 2000, we basically researched and perfected and mastered the technology of F1 seed production and production of parental lines imported from China. Country. From 2000 – 2010 mainly use the available Chinese mother line to cross with his father’s line. Therefore, the hybrid advantage in yield as well as quality of the domestic variety cannot exceed that of the imported Chinese variety. From there, we oriented, in addition to using imported materials from that source, to improve and introduce sterility genes, restore genes, and create new Vietnamese parent materials. In the period of 2011 – 2015, University of Agriculture I (now the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture) and the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice under the Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology (now part of the Food Crop Institute). food plants) has created parent lines with its own orientation such as E15S, T6S, AMS35S, D116S, AMS211A,14A… These are the mother lines of some quality Vietnamese hybrid rice varieties such as HQ19, Aromatic hybrid 6, HYT124… In the basic spring crop, we use Chinese hybrid rice varieties because they have more advantages in yield and shape, but the main crop uses two-line hybrid rice varieties produced in the country because of the short growing time, better resistance to pests and diseases, better quality. Currently, the quality of imported hybrid rice varieties is getting better and better, such as: Thai Xuyen 111; Ly2099; LP1601… Besides, we have also successfully chosen to create quality two-line hybrid rice varieties that can grow two crops in a year such as HQ19, Hybrid Aroma 6, HYT124, MCH2… Close-up of new hybrid rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. The general orientation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is to select hybrid rice varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases, improve quality, and respond to climate change. Indeed, we also have success in breeding such as having parental lines for quality breeding, transferring genes for resistance to pests and diseases. So far, we have varieties that can be said to be of equal quality to the best imported hybrid rice today, Thai Xuyen 111 (sometimes selling up to 150,000 VND/kg), for example, two-line hybrid rice HQ19, HYT124, Hybrid aromatic 6, MCH2… with a selling price of 100,000 – 120,000 VND/kg, some promising three-line hybrid rice varieties, such as HYT325, HYT315, with rice seeds over 7mm long, clear rice, amylose content 16-18%, fragrant rice. However, one of the weaknesses of the domestic varieties is that the shape in the field is not as eye-catching as the Chinese hybrid rice varieties because they have technologies and genetic resources that not only create high yields, The quality and shape are still very nice… We have created our own parent lines from Chinese materials, unfortunately, we have not effectively exploited the male sterility genes from native rice and domestic wild rice. Select varieties in the direction of rice for export According to Mr. Phong, recently, the hybrid rice market has gone down because of the competition of high-quality pure rice, especially in the Red River Delta provinces. In addition, due to industrialization and urbanization, the area of ​​rice cultivation has decreased, the demand for food is not large, the price of imported seeds is high, and the source of seeds cannot be proactive while domestic goods can only meet 30-35 years. % need. The goal of developing hybrid rice in the coming time is not necessarily to increase the cultivated area, but to raise the proportion of domestic products from more than 30-35% to 40.50%…, conquering the market by high quality seeds. Dr. Le Hung Phong: “The results of our work up to now can be said to have not been as expected”. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Dr. Le Hung Phong confided: “In the past, we used to joke: “Although hybrid rice is hybrid, the yield is still twice that of normal rice”, but in fact, research shows that “to create hybrid rice varieties, time Time and effort must be twice that of pure rice.” For example, the research time to select a pure rice variety can be 5 years, but it takes 10 years for hybrid rice. Moreover, the production of hybrid rice seeds by external pollination, depends a lot on weather conditions, on the characteristics of pollen recipients and pollens of the mother and father lines, whether parents combine to create an advantage or not… In short, the production of hybrid rice seeds requires a large investment but the risk is high, so well-known enterprises like ThaiBinhseed have not invested in the production of hybrid rice seeds, Vinaseed only focuses on the production of hybrid rice varieties. old system, easy to do like Nhi uu 838 and now it’s time to start with new varieties imported from China. Besides, there are also private enterprises, the provincial Seed Center has copyright like Cuong Tan Co., Ltd., Hai Phong High-Tech Agriculture Joint Stock Company, Lao Cai Seed Center, Thanh Hoa Institute of Agricultural Science, Vietseed … to invest in domestic hybrid rice production. Currently, the official hybrid rice research and breeding system only has the Crop Research and Development Institute of the Vietnam National Academy of Agriculture and the Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center of the Institute of Food Crops and Food Plants. . We are implementing a program to select and breed hybrid rice that is qualified for export. In addition, starting research on selecting hybrid rice varieties to cope with climate change. HYT 315 – new generation hybrid rice at the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Making good seeds, but selling copyrights at this time is difficult because two or three successful harvests and one loss is zero production effort, so businesses are not eager. There is a new direction of combining with businesses to jointly invest, share profits as well as risks. The Center is now a partially autonomous (45-50%) non-business unit. The results of our work to date can be said to have not been as expected. For example, the phenotype of domestic hybrid rice compared with Chinese hybrid rice is still poor, and needs to be improved to be closer to imported varieties. What I regret most is that the opportunity to contribute to the development of domestic hybrid rice production is that at the time when HYT100 was recognized as a variety, there was no strong business to invest in it. The quality of the HYT100 is good, but there are difficulties in seed production, which are also common weaknesses of quality hybrid rice varieties. If this weakness can be improved, the opportunity for development will be better. I think there are still many things that can be exploited and believe that hybrid rice will grow well. I used to go to an expert in Africa where rice is only for invited guests, proving that the rice grain still plays a huge role in the world with densely populated countries or need to ensure food security. In order to develop hybrid rice and pure rice in particular and the seed industry in general, if the State and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development do not have policies to invest in-depth in domestic research, it will be difficult to compete with foreign products. Large enterprises, with a lot of money, only invest in research at the level of exploration and testing of varieties, not in-depth research. Therefore, appropriate attention and investment is still needed for non-business units doing research to ensure continuity and to produce good products.

While studying at the Aviation Academy, Quynh Nhu decided to quit to return to her hometown to continue her family business because the 20-hectare farm was her parents’ lifelong passion. Quynh Nhu’s “everything” farm makes everyone fall in love. The farm has orchards, fish ponds and many other agricultural products. Quynh Nhu in the area growing clean vegetables in a greenhouse. Quynh Nhu’s family farm has a large area of ​​cashew, rubber and fruit trees, the other part grows green vegetables and many different agricultural products. Admiring the vast farm, thousands of fruit trees make everyone excited. Some young people even have to say “or should I go back to my hometown to raise fish and grow more vegetables” to live in a peaceful space like Quynh Nhu. It is known that the main income of the farm comes from 10 hectares of cashew trees and hydroponic clean vegetable gardens, while other fruits and vegetables are grown by Quynh Nhu’s family mainly to meet the needs of the family and to donate. relatives, friends. However, every year, the family also harvests countless kinds of fruits such as durian, mangosteen, rambutan, jackfruit, guava, breast milk … In addition, Quynh Nhu’s family also uses a small area to grow apricot flowers, roses and orchids. Every tree is full of fruit and the product is delicious. Sharing about the process of farming, Quynh Nhu said: “The farm is large and far from home, so it is very difficult to manage and take care of, especially the lack of water in the dry season, or sometimes the loss of water. thieves… But with the passion and experience of my parents, the trees are still lush and beautiful until now.” Thanks to the favorable nature, most of the farm’s fruit trees grow very well, just need to add organic fertilizer. “My family has a lot of fruit trees, there are fruits all year round,” Quynh Nhu happily shared. The garden is adorned with a variety of vibrant flowers. The lush vegetable garden carries the gardener’s desire for a brand of clean agricultural products. Quynh Nhu shared, the farm has been with the family for nearly 30 years. With a passion for plants, in 2020, she established her own brand of hydroponic clean vegetables to bring products to more people. “In the past, I grew roses, planted orchids, then I started to love growing vegetables, tubers and fruits. I started growing vegetables with a 5m2 terrace on my house to have clean vegetables for my children to eat. Later, my parents facilitated me to develop a brand with an area of ​​1,000m2 from the family farm”, Quynh Nhu said. Quynh Nhu’s brand of clean vegetables specializes in providing high-quality salad vegetables, nutritious leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, rainbow spinach, purple kale, herbs and spices and approx. More than 20 kinds of super spicy chili. The lush farm makes netizens want to leave their hometown to “raise fish and grow more vegetables”. Despite the hard work of gardening, Quynh Nhu always feels peace and happiness, she said: “Looking at the green vegetable garden, or the feeling of biting a sweet breast milk, and especially being praised by everyone for “the garden”. My family likes it so much, my fruit is so delicious, I can eat it with peace of mind”… just that much makes me happy. My family’s gardening motto is “don’t need a lot of money”. being taken care of, seeing the fruit is pleasing to the eye, and then everyone eats the fruit and says it’s delicious.” In order to continue to nurture her “fairy garden”, Quynh Nhu said she will try to learn more experiences, especially learn more about hydroponic vegetables and update new plant varieties. “I just hope the whole family will always be healthy to continue to take care of this garden, especially my brand of clean vegetables will become a friend for every family, bringing safe clean green meals, especially for babies of weaning age”, Quynh Nhu confided.

Ms. Be said that from the beginning of May until now, people in her hometown have begun to enter the days of squash harvest. “My hometown is Vu Thu, Thai Binh. The whole district cultivates this type of squash a lot. Most of them are Hai Duong solid green squash varieties with high yield. This type of squash has a lot of pulp, is fragrant, and has a beautiful fruit design. In addition to being grown in the traditional way, Vu Thu people also grow squash on top of a truss, or horizontal truss along a sturdy concrete column. This type of squash is very good this year, but due to the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic, traders from other places cannot go back to their hometown to take pumpkins to sell in other provinces. As a result, the price of squash dropped dramatically. “Currently the squash is in the harvest season, but there are no traders coming to ask for it. The gardens are no longer crowded with buyers and sellers, but deserted. Last year, the average selling price of pumpkin was 10,000 VND/kg. However, this year, when people switched to planting squash with higher efficiency than rice, the price of zucchini was only 6,000 VND/kg. The price of squash has never been so cheap,” lamented Be. This small trader commented, the green squash at the beginning of the season is sweet, fragrant and guaranteed to be a clean food. To support the consumption, every two days, parents and family members will transfer to Ms. Be 1-2 kilos of squash for her to help sell in Hanoi, at the price of 6,000 VND/kg. If they can’t sell, people just cut back home and pile up to eat. The rest in the garden had to accept damage. After harvesting, the copper quality in the house, the price dropped dramatically Because her house can be transported for her family, she has such a good price. Therefore, I hope everyone will support to rescue squash for Vu Thu and Thai Binh people. “The fruit has come to harvest time, but there is no trader asking to buy it, so the squash is piled up, or people bring it to the market to sell. retail price of 2,000-5,000 VND/kg hoping to recover some of that capital, even though 1kg can’t buy a sandwich. Many families here are trying to contact, find sources of income or ask acquaintances in the city to sell online,” said Be. According to her, every 2 days she sells about 1 quintal of zucchini. “Because of the pandemic, people order online a lot. Those who buy less are 5kg, those who buy more are tens of kg to eat gradually. Compared to going to the market to buy toads, this price is too cheap.” People buy it, slice it, and dry it Can make delicious winter squash tea According to a survey of PV, at the toad markets and wholesale markets in Ha Dong and Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, the price of zucchini fluctuates at 7,000-10,000 VND/kg. In addition to zucchini, pumpkin also dropped in price to only about 5,000-6,000 VND/kg. Ms. Do Thi Thu, a housewife in Kien Hung, Ha Dong has just ordered 20kg of squash for 120,000 VND today. She revealed that she bought squash to cook bone soup to eat gradually and make stir-fried squash, stuffed squash with meat. In addition, taking advantage of when squash is cheap, she makes squash tea to lose weight and clear heat. “Making green squash tea is easy. Just use clean squash, then collect it, cut it, and dry it for use. Every year, I make squash tea to use all year round, drink it with peace of mind. It’s better than having to buy squash tea online for up to 200,000 VND/kg without knowing the origin,” noted Thu.

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 .

Chinese scientist Yuan Longping passed away at the age of 91 on May 22. Photo: scmp.com China’s top rice researcher has died at a hospital in Trường Sa city, capital of Hunan province. Born in Beijing in 1930, agronomist Yuan Longping succeeded in creating the world’s first high-yield hybrid rice in 1973. With five decades of research on hybrid rice varieties grown on the ground. Covering 9% of the world’s total arable land, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering has helped nearly 20% of the world’s population escape hunger. This hybrid rice variety can yield 20% higher than conventional rice varieties. After that, this rice variety was widely grown in China and many other regions around the world. Currently, about 16 million hectares of agricultural land in China is planted with this hybrid rice variety, accounting for 57% of the total rice area in the country, thereby helping to feed an additional 80 million people every year. Agronomist Vien Long Binh has contributed to making China one of the world’s leading rice producers. With this success and contribution, he is considered the “father” of hybrid rice. In recent years, scientist Vien Long Binh and his research team are still breeding and developing a hybrid rice variety that can be grown in saltwater environments. Scientist Vien Long Binh once said that he has two dreams, which is “enjoying the coolness under the shade of rice plants taller than a person’s head” and that hybrid rice can be widely grown around the world to solve the problem. global food shortage.

Area planted with genetically modified maize in Tho Hai commune (Tho Xuan). Accordingly, units under the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development have planted some genetically modified maize varieties, such as: DK 6818S, NK 4300BT / GT, NK 7328BT / GT, DK 9955S, NK4300Bt / Gt. , DK6919S … in some localities in the province. The actual assessment shows that the genetically modified maize varieties are highly resistant to pests and diseases, especially for dangerous diseases such as the autumn acacia, so the input cost is reduced by about 10 to 15%. Therefore, the yield of genetically modified maize varieties was 15 to 20 quintals / ha / crop higher than conventional maize varieties and 5 to 7 million VND / ha / crop higher than conventional maize varieties. Due to the proof of economic efficiency, the suitability of farming conditions and qualifications of many localities in the province, in recent years, the agricultural sector and local authorities in the province have encouraged her to Farmers put genetically modified maize varieties into production. Therefore, the model of genetically modified maize is increasingly being replicated, the area planted to genetically modified maize has been expanded according to each production season. In the summer-autumn crop of 2019, Tho Xuan District Agricultural Extension Center (now the Agricultural Service Center of Tho Xuan district) cooperates with DEKALB Co., Ltd. to implement a demonstration model of 2 genetically modified hybrid maize varieties 6919S and DK 9955S, in Tho Hai commune, with 2 sao. These are considered to be 2 genetically modified maize varieties with high yield and superior resistance to the autumn acacia worms. Accordingly, the company has put 2 genetically modified maize varieties: 6919S and DK 9955S into cultivation on the maize land area of ​​Tho Hai commune for trial planting. The actual evaluation from the model shows that, on 2 control maize fields planted adjacent to each other, the maize cultivating area is often destroyed by the autumn acacia worm, affecting the growth, development and yield. However, the planted area of ​​2 genetically modified maize varieties 6919S and DK 9955S still grows and develops well, the rate of damage caused by the autumn acacia and some other pests is low, almost does not affect the quality and productivity. According to calculations of the households implementing the model, the area of ​​genetically modified maize yield from 78 to 80 quintals / ha / crop, about 16 quintals / ha / crop higher than conventional maize varieties, the profit is from 27 to 33 million VND / ha / crop, about 7 million VND / ha / crop higher than the area planted with conventional maize varieties. At the end of the model, many households in Tho Hai commune boldly use genetically modified maize varieties for mass cultivation. On average, each year, the whole commune has about 100 ha of maize planted with genetically modified maize varieties. Particularly in the winter-spring crop 2020-2021, the whole commune has more than 30 hectares of maize planted with genetically modified maize varieties. In Yen Dinh district, genetically modified maize varieties, such as NK4300Bt / Gt, DK6919S, NK7328Bt / Gt, and DK6818S are also being widely cultivated by farmers in many lands. Each year, the district has nearly 1,000 ha of maize planted with genetically modified maize varieties and it is expected that the area of ​​using genetically modified maize varieties for cultivation will be expanded in the next seasons. According to Mr. Trinh Xuan Quy, Head of Agriculture and Rural Development Division, People’s Committee of Yen Dinh district, said: The reason for the rapid expansion of genetically modified marine maize area is because the use of genetically modified maize varieties helps to reduce labor, investment costs and amount of pesticides, thereby, reducing environmental pollution, improving farmers’ income, increasing economic efficiency from 15 to 20% compared to production of ordinary maize. From the benefits brought, Yen Dinh district is continuing to encourage farmers to use genetically modified maize varieties for planting, improving economic efficiency. According to the synthesis of the Provincial Plant Protection and Cultivation Department, the presence of genetically modified maize has been expanded in many districts, such as Cam Thuy, Yen Dinh, Tho Xuan, Ngoc Lac, Vinh Loc, Thieu Hoa, Trieu Son, with a total area of ​​more than 3,000 hectares per year. Most of the area planted to genetically modified maize achieves 20-30% higher economic efficiency than conventional maize varieties. More importantly, the genetically modified maize varieties are highly resistant to pests and diseases, so the amount of pesticide use in the production process is low, significantly contributing to environmental protection, ensuring safety. whole food for product

Not all poplars have flying catkins. Poplars are dioecious, and male poplars bloom in early spring. The inflorescences (catkins) are mostly brown and resemble “caterpillars”. After the flowers bloom, the whole bunches fall off. The task of the male Yang is to pollinate the pollen, and he will not float. It is female poplars that can produce flying catkins. The female inflorescences develop into small green capsules after pollination. Inside the capsules are the white fluffs that wrap the poplar seeds. When the temperature and light reach a certain condition, the fruits of Populus tomentosa begin to mature and burst, and the poplars will float out.

In northern China, this “deadly” season is about mid-to-late April. From 10 am to 16:00 pm, Yang Xupiaofei’s high frequency is the time period. Such days last for more than 20 days. Next are Kapok, Kapok, Platanus…

It is not accidental that poplars have become the main popular Taoist trees in many cities. In the 1970s, tree planting and afforestation became a national movement for sand control. In this movement, poplars, fir trees, eucalyptus, paulownia, masson pine, etc. stand out. They all have a common feature and belong to fast-growing species.

Fast-growing tree species are cost-effective and easy to maintain. They can usually become wood within 10 years. In addition to ecological functions and wood value, this growth cycle can be seen within three to five years. Some native tree species have good materials but slow growth. It can quickly form shade, is cheap and easy to raise, and urban greening also introduces a large number of poplars. Poplars have come to people’s living areas from mountains and sand. The proportion of poplars in some urban street trees even exceeds 50%.

When they grow up, female poplars will grow faster and stronger than male poplars. Seedling companies are more willing to plant them and have a higher market share. Suqian, the hometown of Taobao flowers and plants, once planted 2.6 million mu of poplars, more than 95% of which were females. After continuous renovation, the current stock still exceeds 1 million mu.

Cultivating and planting poplars used to be the best choice for city managers to achieve greening KPIs, but as female plants grow up, they have to face the remaining problem of poplars-floating flock. Injecting “Yihua No. 1” into female trees can inhibit 90% of the differentiation of female flowers, but the injection cost is high, 15 yuan per syringe for 1 year, which is equivalent to the maintenance cost of 1 square meter of green space for 1 year. In 2014, Beijing injected 100,000 female poplar trees, mainly distributed around parks, hospitals and kindergartens.

The second method is to perform surgery on the poplar tree, cut off the original female tree crown, graft male branches on its main branch, and turn the female tree into a male tree. The cost of “gender reassignment surgery” is higher, with a cost of about 500 yuan per plant. After the “gender reassignment” is successful, it needs to be carefully maintained for at least 3 years.

Someone suggested that poplars should be replaced with phoenix trees. The cost of each plant is more than 1,000 yuan without accounting for bidding, supervision, construction, and other management expenses. Either way, it is an unbearable economic account for a city that grows millions of poplars.

Controlling fly flock is a difficult problem for many cities plagued by poplar flock. Poplar trees not only cause flies, but also easily cause fires. Many experts have argued that a single tree species will make the ecological environment fragile and pests and diseases will increase year by year. Solving the flying catkins is the primary goal. In the longer term, it is a process to create an urban landscape with trees, shrubs, and grass. Does your city have driftwood? Welcome to write down your coordinates in the comment area.

This time is in the season of pumpkin harvest, although it has a high yield, from 1.5 to 2 tons / ha, however, compared to the previous time, the current price of squash is very low. Previously, each kilogram of pumpkin people sold in the field was priced from 10,000-15,000 VND / kg depending on the quality but only 3,000-5,000 VND / kg.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Giang’s house, Hoi Lam hamlet, Cam Son commune, this year planted more than 3 sao of pumpkin, although it did not take too much care, but like other spring vegetables and fruits, this year squash the price is very low, only 3,000 VND / kg. Sometimes even lower, traders try to force prices, so people only harvest small.

For each pumpkin pole, the cost of seed and fertilizer costs nearly 1 million VND, not to mention the care and hiring of the harvester. Currently, due to the low price of pumpkins, farmers face many difficulties. Photo: Tien Dong

Mr. Hoang Manh Ha, chief hamlet of Hoi Lam hamlet, Cam Son commune, said: The whole village of Hoi Lam has about 50 pumpkin growers, this is a highly productive pumpkin variety, the time from planting to harvest is 3. month. Mr. Ha’s family also produces 3 sao, the cost of seed and fertilizer for each pole is nearly 1 million VND, not including the care for 3 months and the cost of hiring the harvester. If the price of squash is stable, each pole also gives an income of nearly 10 million VND. However, recently, the low price of squash makes farmers very difficult.

Mr. Ha said that, due to the longer time for pumpkins to stay in the field than other crops, when the price of pumpkins is low, farmers can harvest them in moderation to wait for higher prices.

Mr. Dang Dinh Luan – Head of the Agriculture and Rural Development Department of Anh Son district said: Usually at the beginning of each crop, the purchasing establishments still ask about signing offtake contracts with farmers, but due to low contract prices. Therefore, people do not agree but accept the market price.

Regarding the planning issue, Mr. Luan said that the district also now has a plan for vegetable growing areas on the land, and regularly provides technical guidance to farmers, thereby gradually improving production efficiency. bring higher income on the same area than before.

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
