On June 7, Ba Che district held a field workshop to evaluate the results of the trial planting model and introduce the new rice variety J6.
The model of trial planting of the new rice variety J02 was deployed on an area of 20ha, with 102 households in Lang Mo and Tan Tien villages, Don Dac commune. After more than 4 months of trial planting, up to now, the entire area of 20ha of J02 rice has been harvested. Through model evaluation, the rice variety J02 has strong growth, strong tillering, easy to cultivate, high grain density, and higher yield than some local mass-produced rice varieties.
The growth time of rice variety J02 is longer than that of mass-transplanted variety from 7-10 days; compact tree shape, stiff stem, upright leaves, large and long leaves, dark green color, large, round, bright yellow seeds, large and short flowers; low percentage of flat seeds; soft, fragrant, delicious rice; average yield is 1,46 quintals/ha higher than the average yield of mass-produced varieties; the total revenue of 1ha of J02 rice is 1,2 times higher and the profit is 3,2 times higher than the average of other varieties.
The above results confirm that the experimental model of rice variety J02 has been successful and that this rice variety is completely suitable for local climatic, soil and farming conditions; eligible for replication in Don Dac commune in particular and Ba Che district in general.
