Delegates and trainees participate in the opening ceremony of the course.

The training course was implemented over 14 weeks, spanning the entire 2023 summer-autumn rice crop season, corresponding to the growth and development stages of the rice plant and the occurrence and damage caused by pests and diseases.

Trainees receive theoretical instruction in the classroom and practical field training on techniques for planting, caring for, and controlling major pests and diseases in rice plants; and guidance on the safe and effective use of pesticides. Simultaneously, the learned knowledge is conveyed in an easily understandable and applicable way so that farmers can absorb and directly apply it to their agricultural production, helping to improve crop yield and quality, and minimize the use of pesticides.

This will lead to the development of sustainable agriculture based on ecological balance to manage crop pests and limit the overuse of pesticides in pest control; and simultaneously apply the learned knowledge to farming practices, increasing the resilience of crops.
