DTO - To revive the strong tree, Lai Vung District People's Committee has been implementing the Project to preserve red tangerine gardens for the period 2020 - 2024 (referred to as the project) with an area of over 547 hectares. With many efforts, up to now, most of the red tangerine areas have been restored and developed well, contributing to improving the economy and increasing farmers' income.
Farmers participate in the Project to preserve red tangerine gardens in the period 2020 - 2024, actively implementing many solutions to restore red tangerines.
Many remarkable results
According to Lai Vung District People's Committee, in the period of 2020 - 2023, the whole district has 348 households registered to participate in the project with 216.74/546.63ha (reaching 39.7%). Of which, the rehabilitated area is about 171/197.71ha (reaching 86.6%); the replanted area is about 45/347.92ha (reaching 13.1%).
To improve the effectiveness of the project, in recent times, Lai Vung District People's Committee has coordinated with provincial departments, branches and experts from institutes and schools to focus on implementing many solutions to support farmers such as: selecting more parent trees; building clean breeding net houses; producing and supplying seeds, organic fertilizers, and Tricodecma fungi to households participating in the project. At the same time, propaganda about the red grapefruit project has been carried out, integrating training and guidance on red grapefruit cultivation techniques...
Participating in the project from the beginning, Mr. Le Minh Man, residing in Tan Phu hamlet, Tan Phuoc commune, has planted 10,000 square meters of red tangerines, including grafted and grafted branches. In the 2024 Tet tangerine crop, Mr. Man's red tangerine garden bore fruit at the beginning of the season, with large, eye-catching fruits, so it sold for a fairly high price. Mr. Man said: "Throughout the cultivation process, I always followed the project's procedures and the instructions of the district's agricultural sector. With 800 grafted tangerine trees and 400 grafted tangerine trees in the garden today, grafted branches grow and develop more strongly than grafted branches."
As one of the first gardeners who is passionate about overcoming diseases on red tangerine trees, Mr. Huynh Van Mi Suol, residing in Tan Quy hamlet, Tan Phuoc commune, is implementing many solutions to quickly revive the 6,000m2 garden area. Mr. Suol shared: “During the project implementation period, I always followed the red tangerine cultivation process proposed by scientists , using self-composted organic fertilizers and biological products, so the tangerine garden has recovered well. Applying organic farming processes, each year, I fertilize with traditional organic fertilizers combined with Trichoderma fungi divided into 3 stages. Currently, the tangerine garden is growing well, the soil is more porous and the cost of agricultural materials has been reduced by 50% compared to before participating in the project.”
Continue to revive the strong plant species
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, through propaganda, farmers are now willing to change from using chemical fertilizers to self-composted organic fertilizers. Most of the land areas implemented under the project have had major changes in a positive direction. This has helped the pink grapefruit gardens to gradually recover, contributing to maintaining the area and increasing the average income for farmers...
