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.

This morning (May 8), Can Loc district held a conference to evaluate the effectiveness of the transplanter model, to deploy the project of production in the summer-autumn crop 2021. In the spring crop of 2021, the People’s Committee of Can Loc district directed the Division of Agriculture and Rural Development, Center for Science and Technology Application and Plant Protection, People’s Committees of Tung Loc, Son Loc, Xuan Loc, Kim Song Truong Communes in coordination with Trung Hoa Cooperative (Nghen town) surveyed, selected implant application model for production. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Trung – Director of Ha Vang Cooperative, Vuong Loc Commune: Thanks to the application of transplanters in production, this spring crop yield increased much more. Accordingly, the spring crop of this year the district has 53.36 ha implanted by machine and used varieties: Nep 98, Thai Xuyen 111; ADI 168 and XT 28 (implemented by Mitraco Seed Company with an area of ​​2 ha). To use the transplanter, Trung Hoa Cooperative used an automatic continuous seeding machine to North the tray. The transplanter was 30cm from the row, 18cm from the clump, an average of 1 transplanter per day was 2.5-3 ha. Due to transplanting of young seedlings, roots are not damaged, so the time for rice to set roots is faster, the transplanter is sparse, spaced evenly so that the rice grows and develops well, and there are few pests and diseases. Through the assessment, compared with traditional cultivation, the model for the theoretical average yield is 93.43 quintals / ha, higher than the control 7.78 quintals / ha; reducing more than 10,320,000 VND / ha / crop in costs and labor costs for farmers. Vice Chairman of People’s Committee of Can Loc district Bui Huy Cuong: This is a new technical advance in agricultural cultivation, so it is recommended that communes and towns continue to promote propaganda, direct and guide farmers to use new farming equipment in their products. Rice export to improve efficiency, contribute to increase income. From the results of the transplanter application, in the coming time, Can Loc district will promote propaganda and mobilize local farmers to continue replicating the model of large rice fields to apply scientific and technical advances. , put mechanization into production. The use of AUV drones to spray plant protection drugs (herbicides, kill diseases) on the model, help reduce the amount of drugs, reduce environmental pollution

In the first session of the week (April 19), gold prices went down after being traded at a much higher level than usual in the previous week.
