Hanoi Student and hat trick

On January 4, the topic ' Research on the production technology of fungus Metarhizium anisopliae sorok for application of plant pest control ' by Phuong Dong University student - Le Thuy Quyen ( photo ) - received the first prize Vifotec 2006 .

On January 6, this work was re- enthroned at the prize of scientific research students (Ministry of Education and Training). And the hattrick was created when the Vifotec council chose it as the only award to be awarded to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to award a gold medal.

Quyen's work is considered by scientific councils to appreciate the optimal application and the value of protecting the living environment. Metarhizium mushroom from the research of Quyen eliminates all kinds of white butterfly caterpillars, leaf-eating worms and especially the ability to kill some kinds of insect pests in soil such as beetles, termites . Practical application of metarhizium to kill black beetles eating sugarcane; termites of white pine, bodhi, harm cashew and fruit trees; White butterfly green worms eat kohlrabi, cabbage; Tomato pest damage . results in more than 70% pest control.

In particular, Quyen's work has a ' software ' that is quite solid when before, the instructor of Quyen - Associate Professor Pham Thi Thuy - studied the application of Metarhizium fungi on a variety of pests for pests. 78% of insecticidal eradication results after one week of spraying . In the optimal model of Quyen mushroom production, an interesting point is that when the fungus has destroyed black beetles, termites, white butterfly worms . then These harmful insects die and grow into the fungus Metarhizium, continuing the journey of eradicating pests.

To complete the topic, almost all of the last year of university, Quyen had to ' close ' the two roles: a young researcher and a ' workaholic ' farmer, leaving the tree every day from 7-8pm. , away from mushrooms. The ideal environment for fungi to grow is that the temperature must be between 25-30 ^o C, the lab has no air-conditioner, on hot summer days, the fungus cannot develop, sometimes it makes me want to cry .

But then Quyen also found a way, favorable weather days (March to May), Quyen worked harder to produce enough mushrooms for research. ' Actually, Quyen is a biological child. Father is a lecturer of the pedagogical university of pedagogy, Quyen himself is a good student at city level in high school students . '- Associate Prof. Dr. Pham Thi Thuy' revealed '.
