On May 19, the Department of Science and Technology of Dong Thap province organized an Advisory Council to evaluate and accept the results of implementing the basic-level science and technology tasks, the topic "Research on propagation techniques and potted planting of some medicinal plants for ornamental purposes in Sa Dec City", chaired by the Provincial Testing and Inspection Center. Ms. Nguyen Lam Thanh Thuy - Director of the Department of Science and Technology - Chairwoman of the Council chaired the acceptance meeting.
Scene of the acceptance ceremony
The project was carried out in the context that the ornamental flower industry is one of the five key industries of the Agricultural Restructuring Project of Dong Thap province in the period of 2021 - 2025. Research and application of science and technology to diversify ornamental flower products and enhance the value of urban agriculture are requirements in the current period. In particular, medicinal plants with aesthetic value and medical uses such as yellow chrysanthemum, honeysuckle and flower kernels are considered to have potential for development in the direction of both ornamental and health care.
The research project has successfully established an in vitro propagation process for yellow chrysanthemum and multi-flower plants, with a 100% survival rate when transferred to the nursery. Honeysuckle was propagated by cuttings combined with the growth stimulant NAA 800 ppm, planted on a substrate consisting of clean soil and coconut fiber, giving outstanding growth results. At the same time, the group also determined the optimal substrate formula and fertilizer regime for each type of plant, helping the plant grow healthily, produce beautiful flowers, and shorten the growth time.
The 3,000-pot pot planting model, which was piloted at the High-tech Agricultural Application Center, has yielded positive results. The yellow chrysanthemum has an average number of flowers and buds of over 800 flowers/pot, with a flower durability of nearly 28 days. The honeysuckle has a canopy diameter of over 65cm after 4 months of planting. The flower-producing plant has an average height of over 21cm, a well-developed root system, even green leaves and a beautiful shape.
The Acceptance Council highly appreciated the scientific quality and practicality of the topic. The research results not only provide a scientific basis for the propagation and cultivation of medicinal plants for ornamental purposes in Sa Dec City but also contribute to enriching the products of the traditional flower village, expanding new directions for the Sa Dec ornamental flower industry associated with urban agriculture and ecotourism . The Council members agreed that the topic has high applicability and replication potential, is suitable for local climate and soil conditions, and meets the need for innovation in ornamental flower varieties according to consumer tastes. The Council members agreed to accept the topic and requested the implementing agency to complete the report in accordance with regulations.
