Implant: Saving, high productivity

Transplanted rice cultivation is a new step in production under the program of ' three reductions and three increases ', surpassing the technique of seed sowing, because it saves seed, agricultural medicine, takes less care but still produces high productivity. From manual rice transplantation, An Giang farmers have so far transferred to transplanting machines produced by the Institute of Electromechanical Technology (MARD).

In An Giang, transplanting rice is no longer a difficult task. In the past, the technique of ' transplanting ' only applies to breeding or selecting to create, restore primitive and super-prototypes. Up to now, farmers have applied massively on the area of ​​high-quality commodity rice production. The place to apply the first cultivation technique is in Binh Hoa commune (Chau Thanh - An Giang), and then form many professional hired labor forces.

Farmer Tu Thanh Van said: 'I stooped to cultivate rice in the field, many people stood on the banks of mock smiles. When rice grows, cotton is big, equal to tops, anyone who loves to ask for change is like '. Farmer Nguyen Thanh Tung (Vinh Binh commune - Chau Thanh), after receiving technical training, applied the technique of raising a shrimps to restore the original seed. He said, this way of doing the field must be flat, remove yellow snail and weed and then line up the line to transplant. And Mr. Van, each case selected a few beautiful rice seedlings sowed in the yard and brought down the field. Several kilograms of seed rice

bought from the Seed Research and Production Center (An Giang Plant Protection Joint Stock Company) from the winter-spring crop of 1993-1994, so far it has been recruiting to be a good breeder. Visiting the transplanting rice model in Chau Thanh district, a scientist in Mekong Delta Rice Institute commented that the method of making rice is a little different, but in general, farmers' rice cultivation techniques are equally effective as scientists. learn.

The method of cultivating rice in the most basic way is at the Seed Research and Production Center. The area of ​​cultivated rice in all three hatcheries of Binh Duc, Ta Danh and Dinh Thanh (in the center) is about 250ha, the yield is from 5,000-6,000 tons / year. Mr. Ho Huu Tri, head of Dinh Thanh hatchery, said: 28 varieties of rice grown in the farm are cultivated according to the field of transplanting technique. Use 4kg of rice seed to sow 10m ² plating nylon lining yard, enough for transplanting 1,000m ^{2 of} soil, fertilize the whole crop with 15kg of Urea, 15kg Kali, 10kg DAP and 10kg Lan. Sowing 12-16 days is transplanting 44 dust / m ² (dust is 1.5 t away from dust).

After transplanting, apply fertilizing techniques: 3 main batches + primer and spraying of foliar fertilizer before - after flowering, raising seeds. Strictly follow the process of preventing brown backed rice plant hoppers, yellow dwarf diseases and twisted leaves as recommended by the Plant Protection Institute. According to Tri, manual implantation will be more mobile in conditions of unstable ground subsidence, but must mobilize a large number of workers.

Engineer Ngo Van Hoa, Technical Department - An Giang Agricultural Extension Center said that using transplanting machines will shorten the time for mass seeding. Planting rice is more suitable in the context of scarcity of rice varieties resistant to brown planthopper, yellow dwarf disease and twisted leaf dwarf disease. Institute of Electromechanical Technology after harvest (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) transferred 10 MC8-20 rice transplanters to An Giang cooperatives and farmers (VND 24.5 million / machine), 8 hours / 1 ha, equal to 20 Good cultivators, saving 90-120 kg of seed / ha. An Hoa Agricultural Cooperative (Chau Thanh) replaced human power with MC8-20 transplanting machine in the winter-spring crop 2006-2007.
