Ready for the new rice crop

Up to this point, most of the rice fields have not been flooded, so some people in Kinh Hoi hamlet, Khanh Binh commune (Tran Van Thoi district) have not been able to sow rice effectively.

Large model field in Ong Bich Lon hamlet, Khanh Binh Dong commune, Tran Van Thoi district, at this time the water has not yet flooded the fields.

In Khanh Binh commune (Tran Van Thoi district), to proactively source water for production, Mr. Le Thanh Mong (Rach Bao hamlet) built banks, pumped water from the canal into the field to plow the land and sow. At the same time, Mr. Ngo Nhat Truong (Ong Bich hamlet) soaked OM 18 rice seeds to produce the summer-autumn crop. According to Mr. Truong, the rice crop will ripen right when it rains a lot, so most farmers in Tran Van Thoi district use this rice variety, because of its disease-resistant and hardy characteristics, minimizing the impact of wind and heavy rain.

At this time, everywhere in the rice growing areas, farmers are plowing and harrowing the land in time for the summer-autumn crop.

According to the recommendations of the agricultural sector, when preparing to plant summer-autumn rice, farmers need to prepare good seeds, clean the fields, plow and harrow the soil carefully; at the same time, properly manage pests that harm rice such as golden apple snails, weeds, rats, etc.

According to the plan, this year's summer-autumn rice crop, the whole province will plant 35,244 hectares, mainly concentrated in the districts of Tran Van Thoi, U Minh, Thoi Binh and Ca Mau city.

Mr. Ngo Nhat Truong chose to soak OM 18 rice variety for summer-autumn crop production.

According to the recommendations of the agricultural sector, farmers need to clean the fields thoroughly to avoid untimely sowing, which will affect rice yield.
