Plant pests and diseases are controlled promptly.

Currently, some localities in the province have harvested early spring rice, while mid-spring and late spring tea areas are in the flowering and milky ripening stages.

The grassroots agricultural extension force in the province always proactively visits fields to detect plant pests and diseases and instructs people on timely prevention and control methods.

Over the past week, in the province, about 870 hectares of rice have been damaged by pests such as planthoppers, stem borers, blast disease, brown plant rot and rats. Concentrated mainly in Dong Hy, Dai Tu, Phu Luong, Phu Binh districts and Pho Yen and Song Cong cities.

Although it was a year with complicated weather conditions and prolonged drought, with many positive solutions, Thai Nguyen still managed to plant 28,900 hectares of spring rice, exceeding the plan by 2.5%. Specialized agencies were always proactive in planning and forecasting, so spring rice pests and diseases were detected and controlled in time, did not arise or spread widely and did not affect rice yield and output.

Regarding tea trees, Thai Nguyen has over 22,000 hectares, of which about 2,200 hectares are currently infected with pests and diseases such as green leafhoppers (about 805 hectares); whitefly (about 785 hectares); stink bug (485 hectares); red spider (115 hectares). The grassroots agricultural extension force has coordinated with local authorities to advise and support people in implementing timely measures to prevent and control pests and diseases that harm tea.
