Therefore, the Provincial Agricultural Extension Center recommends that farmers focus on closely monitoring the weather situation, absolutely do not fertilize for tillering, do not thin out spring rice on cold days, the average daily temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius. It is necessary to keep water on the field surface regularly from 3 - 4cm to nourish the rice and keep warm, for sown rice, pay attention not to let water accumulate in puddles on the field surface. When the weather is sunny, the temperature is high, farmers absolutely do not fertilize immediately because it will shock the rice plants. Foliar fertilizer can be used to stimulate plant growth. Check when the rice roots are green, sprouting new leaves, then fertilize the rice for tillering. Regularly check the field to detect pests such as golden apple snails, rice blast disease... to have timely treatment measures.
