First prize VIFOTEC 2005: Drugs of agricultural gods

That is the name of farmers who trust to set up the biological organic leaf fertilizer product, AH, NH by author Nguyen Anh Ket.

Before winning the first prize of Vietnam Science and Technology Innovation Award 2005 (VIFOTEC), in addition to 'victories ' saved hundreds of hectares of rice, corn, soybean, groundnut, plated, cucumber . from dying from disease. leaf gold, waterlogged, salty, smoky brick smoke, cold and frost in Thai Binh, Hai Duong, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh ., this product is also widely used by farmers in almost all areas. Northern provinces to help fight disease and increase crop productivity.

Author Nguyen Anh Ket is planning to bring products into the Mekong Delta to stop the raging yellow leaf disease.

Treatment from plants to . fish

'Here, you see, this tree is like this thanks to spraying KH' - Ms. Trinh Thi Chuyen (Song Song, Tan Hung, Lang Giang, Bac Giang) just said and waded into the green cucumber field. Lift the fat melons, heavy on the branches.

More than a month ago, when the melon had just grown to the knees, the leaves turned yellow. Her family has been growing melon for 4 years, up to half of the melons suffer from yellow leaf disease because it is 'susceptible' to the external conditions.

Using KH organic fertilizer, AH, NH many times with other crops, this time she tried to spray wet the whole melon field is sick. Seeing clear results, she sprayed the second time and within 1 week, the green color of the new leaf completely replaced the previous yellow.

'The tree does not get sick any more, the beans are much more abundant, all stubborn, not pinched as before' - Ms. Chuyen was excited.

In recent years, yellow leaf rice disease suddenly developed strongly. Ms. Chuyen and the villagers used this fertilizer for 3 crops. The village head of the village said that fields with yellow leaves spraying KH or AH are the right rice plants, the leaves are big and the stem is sturdy but not as soft as applying nitrogen fertilizer.

Ms. Chuyen said that if spraying at the time when rice is about to be done, the rice crop will be strong and therefore the rice capacity will increase significantly, about 25 - 35 kg / rod. She also used this fertilizer to spray peanuts in the past spring.

With 2 sprays, peanuts are not only more regular but also increase 30% of productivity compared to normal. The special thing, according to Ms. Chuyen, is that when being plucked up for a long time, the peanut is still green, not yellowing immediately.

Both Phu Xuyen district (Ha Tay) has about 300 ha of rice, according to the district plant protection (plant protection), just undergone yellow leaf disease. Mr. To Tien Doc, technician of Phu Xuyen Plant Protection Station, who was able to put this organic leaf fertilizer into general use, excited to show off the disease was stopped by AH.

"The green rice has returned and the productivity is certainly not affected," said Anh Doc.

This locality has used AH leaf fertilizer since 2002, when it has just been brought from the laboratory to the market. People here often spray for winter crops.

According to Mr. Doc, spraying 2 times to the tree will reduce nearly half of protein. According to statistics of Phu Xuyen Plant Protection Station, the most obvious increase in productivity is soybean, from 15-20%. With cucumber plants, Mr. Doc said that if sprayed from the beginning, the tree will not get yellow leaf disease.

"This is a special fertilizer, synthesizing a lot of micro-nutrients to stimulate plant growth and disease resistance."

Among the leaf fertilizer AH, KH, HN rescued plants to escape death must mention ' victory ' in Nam Dinh last year. At that time, a very large area in Nam Cuong cooperative (Nam Truc district) was contaminated with alum, causing the water to be red in the field, and the fishy smell was strong. Rice is not developed, many households have returned their fields.

Knowing the news, Mr. Dang sent technical staff to spray continuously 3 times. As a result, the rice plants turned green. Tens of hectares of salty rice, where the highest salinity up to 0.55% in the coastal district of Nghia Hung is also saved thanks to this kind of ' Shen Nong's medicine '.

In 2004, hundreds of hectares of rice in Phuc Thanh cooperative (Kim Thanh, Hai Duong) were so smoky with 'hun' brick kilns that the household heads were sure of their losses because the rice had withered. He concluded most of his technical staff at Thanh Ha Company to save rice by continuously spraying 4 turns.

As a miracle, only a few days later, the rice started to green again and recovered completely after 10 days. The foliar fertilizer of Mr. Ket also saved a series of acres of cold wilting and frost in the districts of Hoa Lu and Yen Mo (Ninh Binh).

What surprised the scientists at the Plant Protection Institute (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology) was not only to treat the plants but also Mr. Dang's medicine could save . fish.

One afternoon about 2 months ago, fish in Mr. Nguyen Van May's pond (Chuong Vang, Tan Hung, Lang Giang, Bac Giang) suddenly burst out and stabbed his stomach. Trained in the District Plant Protection Station, a friend told him that May mixed AH fertilizer with water to the pond. About 2 hours later, the fish suddenly became strong and dived. Households who have ponds nearby do not dare to do this, so the fishes die. ' AH fertilizer saved me 4 quintals of fish' - Mr. May is still not happy.

Author Nguyen Anh Ket said that floating fish is due to the lack of circulation, lack of oxygen. Meanwhile, AH fertilizer has water softening components, more ' pulling ' oxygen, so fish ponds have been saved.

Need to bring to every field

According to Mr. Truong Cooperation - Head of Land Use and Fertilizer Department - Department of Crop Production (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), who directly appraised Mr. Pham's leaf fertilizer, this bio-product was more effective than other types of fertilizer Other, especially for waterlogged and flooded crops.

The VIFOTEC judging committee agreed with the assessment: 'If AH, KH, NH fertilizing, profits increase from 4 million to 6 million VND / ha; reduce 20-30% of other inorganic fertilizers and significantly reduce pesticides.

Moreover, manure is not toxic to agricultural products, helps to balance the ecology, protect the environment and improve poor nutrient lands into high-efficiency farming areas. '

'The state needs to support to quickly bring this fertilizer to every field' - Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Kinh - Vice Chairman of the Seed Association, Chairman of the Biological Evaluation Council of VIFOTEC proposals.

According to Mr. Kinh, the production level in a small company of Nguyen Anh Ket only gives a certain output, not enough to supply the market. Therefore, the State should support capital and technology to expand the production base of the author to serve farmers.
