TBR97 rice variety creates miracles in the fields after storms

In the 2025 Summer-Autumn crop, Sia 2 Agricultural Cooperative (Quang Dien District, Thua Thien Hue) sowed 15 hectares of TBR97 rice with high expectations. However, just 17 days later (from May 30 to June 16), storm No. 1 made landfall, causing prolonged heavy rains that submerged the entire area in floodwaters for 6 consecutive days.

Normally, newly sown rice that is flooded for a long time will almost certainly have to be re-sown. The fear of crop failure covers the entire field. But reality has proven the different vitality of the TBR97 variety: as soon as the water recedes, the rice takes root quickly, recovers strongly, grows evenly green, dispelling worries about damage.

Not stopping there, at the stage of heading and flowering, the rice fields continue to face a strong outbreak of leaf rollers. However, the TBR97 rice variety still maintains its outstanding resistance, significantly limiting damage caused by pests and diseases, and growing stably.

After 90 challenging days, the TBR97 rice flowers were full of grain, bringing great joy to farmers. The yield reached 350 - 370 kg/500 m², equivalent to 70 - 75 quintals/ha, a very impressive number in the context of consecutive natural disasters and pests.
