Evaluation of the demonstration model of Ngoc Nuong 9 rice variety

Leaders of the Department of Agriculture and Environment and other units evaluated the results of the demonstration model of Ngoc Nuong 9 rice variety in Kim Dinh commune, Kim Son.

Attending were representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, a number of cooperatives, and farmers participating in the model.

With the goal of gradually replacing old, degraded, low-yielding rice varieties and adding new, high-yielding, high-quality rice varieties to the local rice variety structure, in the 2024-2025 Winter-Spring crop, the Provincial Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection in coordination with Kim Dinh Commune and Vinaseed organized a pilot planting model of the high-quality purebred rice variety Ngoc Nuong 9, on an area of 3 hectares in Hamlet 7, Kim Dinh Commune with 8 participating farming households. Farmers were supported with seeds and trained in accordance with the techniques of integrated pest management measures.

Initial evaluation results show that Ngoc Nuong 9 rice variety has good adaptability, grows well, is quite cold-resistant, and is more prominent than many other rice varieties under the same conditions. Compared to the control variety ST25, Ngoc Nuong 9 rice variety has a shorter growth and tillering time, and a higher effective tillering rate.

In particular, Ngoc Nuong 9 rice variety has a lower rate of empty grains than the control variety by 2%, and the theoretical yield and expected yield are higher than the control variety. The actual yield is 64.26 quintals/ha (231.3 kg/sao), higher than the control variety by 2.73 quintals/ha (equivalent to 9.8 kg/sao). Moreover, the variety gives good quality rice, sticky, spongy, soft and has a light aroma.

At the conference, delegates highly appreciated the prospects of Ngoc Nuong 9 rice variety. At the same time, it was proposed to continue to coordinate demonstrations in some localities in Ninh Binh province in the following crops to monitor and have a basis for accurately assessing the adaptability (cold tolerance, lodging resistance and resistance to pests and diseases, especially leaf blast, neck blast in the winter-spring crop and leaf blight in the summer-autumn crop), and production efficiency of Ngoc Nuong 9 rice variety for replication throughout the province.
