On the morning of May 20, the Steering Committee of the project "Application of science and technology to build a model of growing sim trees as raw materials and serving tourism at the National Wildlife Park in Ninh Binh province" held a field workshop.
Attending the workshop were representatives of the Department of Science and Technology, the Wildlife Park Management Board (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development), the District Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the government and some households of Ky Phu commune (Nho Quan district).
Over the past 3 years, the Project Team has organized an investigation into the distribution of the myrtle tree; collected scientific data, researched and isolated areas where myrtle trees are naturally distributed; developed a description of the biological characteristics of myrtle tree samples; and purchased myrtle samples...
Along with that, deploying the model garden of sim trees: Purchasing 2,000 sim tree seedlings (mother trees) to provide branches for cutting, incubating and giving seeds for later planting; planting in the garden of collected varieties in some localities. Closely monitoring the indicators of height, trunk diameter, canopy diameter, development time, flowering and budding... of the seedlings.
The results showed that the quality of the seedlings brought back was good, and the planting model was carried out smoothly. The trees grew and produced enough seeds to provide raw materials and planting materials during and after the project.
From two intensive cultivation models of 3 hectares of seedlings (1.5 hectares) and cuttings (1.5 hectares), it shows that: The cuttings model has initially produced results (90% of the plants have flowered).
The workshop received constructive comments from technicians and local residents directly participating in the workshop. Technical parameters, advantages and disadvantages, and experience from the model of seedlings and cuttings.
Through evaluation, the project has initially successfully researched the ability to propagate sim trees by two methods: sowing seeds and cuttings.
These two propagation models are capable of providing seedlings for the project during and after implementation, as well as promoting it to interested people, thereby replicating it on a large scale.
The successful model not only improves barren, deserted land in mountainous areas, but also brings in significant revenue from harvesting sim fruit, while creating a beautiful natural landscape and an eco-tourism environment for the Wildlife Park in the near future.
