Yellow apple snail appears in high density and damages summer-autumn rice. Mr. Le Xuan Tu, Director of the Sub-Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection said that the yellow apple snail harms the newly sown rice stage, greatly affecting the growth and development of rice plants, if high density can make 100% loss of trees in the field. In order to minimize the damage caused by yellow apple snail, farmers need to apply a combination of manual measures and chemical measures to increase the effectiveness of killing snails. When the density of snails is high, snails are small, in order to thoroughly limit harmful yellow apple snails, people use drugs with active ingredients, such as Metaldehyde, Niclosamide to eradicate. Dosage according to the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. People should note that when using the drug, it is necessary to maintain the water level from 3-5cm to prevent high efficiency; Spray in the early morning or late afternoon because this is the time when snails are most active. Pesticides to prevent snails are often toxic to aquatic animals, so they should only be used when the snail density is high, avoiding use in rice and fish fields. In addition, other objects are causing harm with an increasing trend, such as: rats harming 71.2 hectares, leaf rollers 60 hectares, acacia caterpillars 50.2 hectares, thrips 36 hectares…. The Sub-department recommends that farmers keep a close eye on the fields, closely monitor the situation of harmful effects, proactively implement timely and effective prevention measures.

I told you yesterday, I have started my summer vacation. He was so happy, he jumped up and down. Thinking about it, seeing it as I was when I was a kid, but hearing that the teacher was busy, sick, and on vacation, the students were more busy playing than studying. Particularly for Summer is a very long excitement, because it brings so many plans, plans and games ahead. “Dragonfly bites navel and knows how to swim” – so many children have been tricked into this. Photo: Thanh Nguyen. I still remember, when I was a kid, Summer was an opportunity for a lot of “starts” at first. From the first time going to see crabs (crab hooks), fishing for frogs, catching fish, slapping fish… to children’s activities: exercising and kicking football early. As for the games, there are many, from shotguns, passing, marble shooting, fighting, fighting, umbrellas… Part of a memory. Photo: Thanh Nguyen. In those days, the field after the harvest was a big stage for the country kids. In my house, there are no buffaloes or cows, but because I crave the country atmosphere with many games and strange dishes, I often follow my brothers and friends in the neighborhood. After the harvest, the countryside is temporarily empty. After the harvest, all the grasshoppers, frogs, and especially mice were gathered in the fields of elephant grass. These are the fields converted by dairy households, from rice to grass for food. At that time, during the day, they fished frogs, at night they looked at locusts and caught birds. But the most fun is still the sessions to dig mice. Usually groups of several or three children will bring a bucket, basket or bag, a spade and a dog. Dogs have the ability to sniff out and catch mice very well, buckets can make water with simple burrows. Field after harvest. Photo: Thanh Nguyen. Rats this season are fat because they are full after a rice season. After catching, bring back, peel off the skin, cut off the head and legs, just take the meat of the body and thighs and then marinate it and bake it. In the summer, every child does not have a small cage. In the countryside, usually every house has a few areca trees. In the summer, those who are good at climbing will be responsible for finding the nests of young birds and sharing them with each other. The young sparrows are hungry, full of shit, their mouths are always wide open to eat when they see people. The food is cold rice, but the most common is grasshoppers, so if you don’t go to the field every day, you have to run to green vegetables (5% field area for households to grow vegetables) to catch some locusts to bring back. make bird food. Draw sketch. Photo: Thanh Nguyen. I remember, when I was a child raising birds, my parents taught me to give the birds light salt water to drink, so I got used to it, even if the birds fly away when they grow up, they still have to come back to drink water. That pure joy keeps growing, from the time the bird is young until the bird is full of feathers, flying and growing. I remember back in the 90s, raising snails was fashionable among the kids. In the new wave of that movement, I had to ask my parents for money to buy it. Where 1,000 VND/pair of small snails, or a few thousand a tool snail, bring back and drop into a crock pot or fish tank to raise. Day by day, go to pick duckweed, water hyacinth, or gather all kinds of leaves for snails to eat. When the snail lays, each pink ovary as big as a strawberry will gradually turn white, it’s time to take out toothpicks to get the baby snails. Raising snails and birds is also meticulous and takes time, but fun. Then, only later, did I know that the “toy” once was a terrible thing to destroy the rice fields. The imprint of the game in childhood has not ended many times when returning home many times, on ditches or bamboo poles in ponds and lakes, still full of eggs of this agricultural “rebellious” group. The nest of golden snail eggs is associated with the childhood of many rural children. Photo: Thanh Nguyen. Summer brings showers. After such meals, the pond is filled with the sound of frogs, hawks, and owls. Me and my friends carried fishing rods. Frogs with nuggets (a baby frog about the size of a big toe) are brought back to be raised somewhere in the garden or pond. Big frogs have to buy long bamboo sticks and melon flowers to lure. If there is a frog, there will be a pot of melon soup. In those days, finding a frog with 3 fingers was already very big, unlike now, frogs raised as big as fists, why eat frivolously. Summer is coming, for the children of the countryside, it is also the season of petty theft, because this is the most fruitful season. From sugarcane, guava, alligator, toad, citrus, mango, queo, papaya, etc. The day before yesterday, when I returned to my hometown, my friend also read aloud the “directory” of sweet and fragrant flowers, who had what tree, what delicious fruit. , it’s by heart. See, the taste of stolen fruit is so delicious and attractive that, after more than 20 years, people still remember it. In those days, the children often looked at Gac fruit, any house that had a ripe gac fruit, even if it was new, but did not cut it quickly, it was stolen by the children, just to get the seeds to play. As for the other fruits, they are extremely different, each day they change a dish. In those days, the booty was often carried by the children to the bunker on the embankment to raid. I don’t know how many moonlit mornings, the village dike was filled with laughter, eating and talking like that. And the most interesting thing, that day, the matter of stealing fruit was rarely concerned by parents, it was an accepted thing. Maybe it’s just a few reprimands from time to time, because everyone seems to implicitly admit that it’s a part of everyone’s childhood.

The kitchen snails of Tinh Que establishment in Cao Lanh are becoming a commercial product that attracts attention. Previously, I only heard of this dish orally. How do you say that? Not at the end of the market. The establishment’s instruction manual for snails is on the package – a bamboo basket with wide eyes, the size of a human head. I don’t remember the verbatim, but the gist is that before steaming, put the snails in a large container and put three eggs in it with a bag of milk. Let it take about two hours for the snails to drink up before it is processed. People in the West know how to take advantage of the behavior of the common convex snail called pila: in the dry season, when you sleep, in the rainy season, you wake up to eat, to invent the kitchen snail dish. There are several types of edible apple snails: the field snail (pila polita), which lives in garden ditches, canals, along the edges of fields, in the fields, and snails (pila gracilis) (1), which live in places where there sedges – perhaps hence the name, and rock snails (pila?), which live in the mountains. In terms of quality, snails are the best, because the meat is chewy and lumpy. More than two decades ago, snails became increasingly scarce as a result of scientists calling for the import of golden apple snails for export. The golden apple snail is an invasive species that has become a scourge for rice-growing countries. As an invasive species, rapidly growing herds, spreading on a large scale, so according to the ‘territorial law’, ‘yes, I don’t have you’, the snail has almost disappeared. The basket of snails in the kitchen of the Tinh Que establishment. Photo: NGUYEN NGUYEN Snail snails are different from the common-eyed apple snail, which is the low, not pointed and tall snail tower like the bronze apple snail. In recent years, people in Dong Thap have chosen to raise snails a lot because of the higher commercial price, due to a time of scarcity. Buyers of snails in the attic also choose snails. The pila snail is an amphibian, lives on land during drought, sleeps all the time and breathes through lungs. In the rainy season, it lives under water, breathes with gills and goes foraging. According to that habit, people put snails in baskets in the attic of the kitchen for snails to sleep for a long time. When you want to eat snails, give them a ‘gracious’ meal of good food. Normal snail meat is delicious, feeding them milk and eggs will be more delicious. There is something to pay attention to the fire, so that the snail does not get tough. Eat bulot, fence the sea People who know how to eat bulot snails must first be cod from Newfounland from the late 19th century, then Normandy, French, etc., then Saigon and Can Tho. Not sure if I am the last person to know about this snail when eating them in Can Tho at the end of April 2021? Eating a snail, don’t say it’s good or bad, the more thought-provoking thing is how the French conserve resources through fishing restrictions. In 1970, the opening Granville auction attracted interest in the bulot sea snail. Before that, the luxury on the dinner table of Westerners only had oysters and red crayfish. As for snails, there are only snails living on land that many Vietnamese shake their heads. In 1980, a group of operators was formed, and in 1985, mining required a license. The smallest size snail to exploit is 4.5cm long. In 2000, due to a decrease in stocks, many measures were put in place: a fishing break in January, the time when snails spawn. The quota is 300kg per person and 900kg per ship, limiting the number of permits, increasing the separation distance from 1.9 to 2.2cm. The number of catches was reduced by 6,000 tons, the number of miners was reduced from 82 to 68. The catch of bulot snails is only using trap cages. Fishermen use cages with bait dropped on the sea floor to lure snails. Fishing as if it does not frighten the snail, stress reduces the quality of the meat. Stir-fried bulot snails with garlic butter. Photo: NGUYEN NGUYEN In the past, bulot snails were only caught by the French as bait for the large cod fishery in Newfoundland as far as Canada. Specifically, on May 18, 1886, the Newfoundland Parliament enacted a law prohibiting people on the island from trading with foreigners and especially not selling and exporting bait to French fishermen. This bait includes squid, herring or roe. Difficult to get wise, some French fishermen came up with the idea of ​​​​using bulot snails as bait for cod fishing. A long time thanks to the new type of bait, the catch is estimated to be five times more. Saint-Malo authorities, press fear a resource depletion. All of a sudden, the cod didn’t want to eat the bulot bait anymore. It wasn’t until the early 1980s that the snail, scientifically known as buccinum undatum, appeared on the dining table and in the kitchen. Within 20 years, the French quickly realized the problem: the output was getting bigger and bigger, the resources were getting exhausted. Obviously the snail meat is delicious. The day I ate snail bulot in Can Tho, the shop sold by the slice. The dish is called snail bulot sauteed with garlic butter. For the French, known for their fine dining, they say an ontological question has long haunted them about the relationship between snails and mayonnaise: can the former survive without it. the second one? It’s like the correlation between snails – the national drug of the West – and garlic butter. It’s horrible to be missing either. But Vietnamese tongue overturns two pairs of categories. They let snail bulot survive with garlic butter. That day I ate delicious and fragrant. But the smell of the sea is only very light, maybe it is a more subjective feeling, because in Vietnam, I used to eat all kinds of sea snails. Bulot snails from France are imported to Vietnam in the form of frozen snails with their shells intact. Many places sell online for prices from 350,000 VND or more, depending on the size. But certainly there is no milk snail like milk squid, milk anchovies, milk crabs in Vietnam. Strict European fishing regulations. The last class snail is 4.5cm, each class is 2.2cm apart. The people of Granville are also worth learning that, although snails are found in many places in France, they have registered for geographical indications early. The Protection of Geographical Indication (PGI) for the Granville Bay bull snail was granted on February 7, 2019, after 7 years of filing. PGI is the quality talisman of this bay snail. —– (1) – Ngo Thi Thu Thao, Le Van Binh, Comparison of some morphological and reproductive biology characteristics of the field snail and the autumn snail in Dong Thap province, Can Tho University.

The most exciting game is the game to pick up anchovies and slit back to the water, just a female with eggs can pass through, the flock of floods will cross her tail. Very well, then they were not afraid of him and defied everything … Still the same … Seasonal rains. In the countryside, before Coc Vu period, every home had a few 3-pin lamps. Torch, hurricane lamp … well-off, we bought a Dong Nai battery … just for food, many families with many children (like ours) were scattered into fields, ponds, rivers … catch crabs, fish and frogs … and sell them to the market. Bright white rain. The bank of the plot is flooded, using stomping or circus (like the te sao of the people of the sea) to poke, rake on the grass patches to cover the water, crabs a lot. Once, my teacher came back from the field, full of baskets, full of two buckets of water full of crabs. He also put in both trousers long pants, also full of crabs. Later, I learned that the crabs and fishes that night … brought them to the market, enough money to pay tuition fees for a few months for our siblings … Catching frogs in the rainy night also likes. We are afraid of lightning. But the cave and the shelter hole was flooded with rain. Frogs and ransom to sit on a high bank, cover their eyes with their front legs to avoid the rain, when being lit with a flashlight (they must think it is blinking), they cover their eyes and cover their heads more tightly. He just … tipto! Home is still raining … Thanks to the civilization of the village of culture, for a long time, killing rats, killing yellow snails, insecticides … has little impact on the life of crabs, fish, and frogs … they seem to have revived as before .. . It’s raining. Going out to the village, I felt bewildered, there are still things from my childhood. Conceptualist!
