Science and technology activities contribute to rural construction

Science and technology activities in Dong Nai have contributed to the construction of " four " rural areas that have good infrastructure, improved economic life, a healthy cultural life and a living environment. good.

In Dong Nai, the total area of ​​crops of all kinds reaches more than 367,500 hectares, reaching more than 62% of the total natural land area, of which more than 117,600 hectares of industrial plants and nearly 49,800 hectares of fruit trees are favorable in development. Agricultural goods have a competitive advantage. This has partly reflected the results of the transfer of technical advances in the field of agricultural production.

Implementing many models of application of technical advances

At the end of last year, Dong Nai Agricultural Extension Center supported Mr. Le Van Tam in Bau Sinh Hamlet (Suoi Cao Commune, Dinh Quan District). Install drip irrigation system. Although newly implemented, but even in the dry season, two types of rambutan trees and durian trees are green, healthy, flowering fruits and fruits in series, the rate of fruit set is high, uniform, stable quality, high yield. A new 12-month-old mango tree has reached a height of 2 m, a canopy diameter of nearly 2.5 m. Compared to before, the productivity of rambutan is 2.5 times higher than that of durian 1.7 times. Many gardens have installed economical irrigation systems such as mango orchards of Pham Cong Trieu, Pham Van Huong, Nguyen The Bao and Pham Van Du in Xuan Tam commune (Xuan Loc district) and Nguyen Cong Bao in Bao Binh commune (district Cam My), Nguyen Van Phuoc's pomelo and mandarin garden in Xuan Phu commune (Xuan Loc district), Bui Thi Ngoc Hoa's pepper garden and Mr. Diep Loc Thuan's coffee garden are in Quang Trung commune (Thong Nhat district). ) too, productivity increases from 20 to 50% depending on the type of crop.

The center also popularized sprinkler sprinkler models for vegetables grown in net houses. The model is implemented in the garden of Mr. Vu Van Thuong (Phu Dong commune, Nhon Trach district). Mr. Thuong said that after 25 days, the effectiveness of the model was seen, productivity increased by 15%, shortening the growth time of the three-day crop, reducing the irrigation time by 50% and creating cool temperatures evenly in net houses. Then the two models decrease, three increase in citrus, three decrease, three increase in rice, apply high technology on sandy soil, grow corn in winter-spring crop, grow catfish, process custard apple, In case of off-season, second-crop cotton with technical "backward season, press the stem, reduce the amount of fertilizer, increase the density above covered with potted liners, herbicide needs, combined spray" . Results of the model It has been shown through the growth and the ability to plant fruits and flowers of plants.

(Photo: Nhandan) Engineer Nguyen Thi Don, head of Dinh Quan district agricultural extension station affirmed that the increase in productivity is due to the increase in the number of irrigation times (every seven to 10 days according to the method of irrigation. saving only four days ), the soil is not dried up, trees without water shock will limit the loss of young fruits, fruit cracking; moreover, deep water helps plants absorb nutrients better.

Engineer Nguyen Lam Dien, the head of Xuan Loc Agricultural Extension Station, said that in the dry season, trees grow more strongly if they are provided with enough water and nutrients, the photosynthesis is better and the roots stick to the soil more tightly.

Master Huynh Thanh Vinh, Director of the Provincial Agricultural Extension Center commented that the model also saves labor, electricity and fuel, contributing to lowering production costs.

Director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Van Giau affirmed that there is no additional fertilizer but the productivity has increased remarkably, if combined with off-season flowering, the higher the selling price. He also recommends growing grass covering soil, raising earthworms and fertilizing organic matter will increase significantly. Therefore, the model is quickly received.

Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Vice Chairman of Xuan Loc District People's Committee said that he is replicating models to the whole district, in which Suoi Cao commune has six points.

When businesses are interested in applying technical advances

In recent years, the processing industry of Dong Nai province has developed strongly, the processing capacity of 150 thousand tons of sugar, 12 thousand tons of coffee, 40 tons of canned drinking water, 400 million cigarette packs, seven thousand tons of cashew nuts, 120,000 tons of wheat starch, 120 thousand tons of monosodium glutamate, one thousand tons of cotton fiber, two million tons of animal feed . so a huge amount of standard agricultural products is needed industrial processing. Therefore, processing enterprises are the leading units in the application of technical advances in agriculture and product processing.

Donafoods Company (processing and export of Dong Nai food and agricultural products) coordinated with the Southern Forestry Sub-institute to select varieties and study the technical process of cashew intensification. The company's working group has traveled through cashew gardens in Dong Nai province and some Southeast provinces to find 180 high-yield, large-sized cashew trees, thereby selecting eight satisfactory cashew lines. technical and used for propagation.

The company also organized an agricultural extension board to guide people to grow cashew and harvest the right techniques and seasons; At the same time, it will build a breeding garden with a capacity of up to 500 thousand seedlings per year to ensure that the cashew orchards are replanted and newly planted will use new varieties. Thanks to that, the last crop year, the average cashew yield in Dong Nai province reached 1.7 tons / ha, the highest in the country.

Many other processing enterprises such as Food Industry Corporation, La Nga Sugar Joint Stock Company, Cotton and General Trading Joint Stock Company, Dong Nai Rubber Company, Bien Bien Joint Stock Company Hoa, Phu Son Pig Breeding Joint Stock Company, Dong Nai Animal Husbandry Joint Stock Company, Donatechno Biotechnology Development Company . have all built a test farm, an experimental plantation organization, an agricultural extension organization. seed production to supply for their own material areas.

The role of " midwife " of the science and technology management agency

Scientific and technological activities are always the main function of the provincial technological and scientific units. In recent years, many projects in the field of agriculture have been studied and applied by many industries in the province. In fact, it has contributed to shifting the production structure towards economic goods associated with the market to bring high economic efficiency, really helping people quickly change their lives.

It can be mentioned that the project to build a model of intensive cultivation and animal structure transformation was carried out by Hung Loc Agricultural Research Center at three communes of An Dung, Doi 61, Lo 25 in Thong Nhat district ( now Trang Bom is implemented in two years 2002-2004 with three alternating models of hybrid maize - hybrid cotton - high-yielding beans, cassava for silkworm raising in households and intensive cultivation of new cassava varieties with high flour yield. These three communes are particularly difficult, agricultural land is both bad and bad, agricultural production depends entirely on nature, there is no irrigation work yet.

Over the time of implementing the project with the varieties of Sa Nhi Luan strawberry (SA 109), hybrid cotton VN15, hybrid corn VN25-99, cassava KM94 . results of productivity of 45 tons of mulberry, 25 tons of cassava, guaranteed collection can live. Therefore, many households who have been attached to the new job for a long time, especially cassava cultivation, have crossed the administrative boundaries and reached some other provinces, many of them rich in cassava.

The project of selecting pomelos with potential and intensive methods to contribute to improving the efficiency of Bien Hoa pomelo orchards implemented in four years (1999-2003) has selected three varieties of pomelos including tea, smooth skin and leaf sugar. High yield orange, good quality.

The project of building tissue culture room and application of plant biotechnology in agriculture, forestry and fishery development under the rural mountainous program also selected 36 top pomelo trees, ensuring sufficient supply of seeds. serving the goal of developing 2000 hectares of specialty pomelos in the province in 2010. Currently, the micro-technology transfer units are organizing the production of six thousand clean pomelos trees for new cultivation, contributing to the area Pomelos increased rapidly in a period of time from a few hundred hectares to 1,450 hectares. Donatechno alone has produced many durian varieties, rambutan, mangosteen, low carbon, high-aromatic coconut, good quality for farmers.

Dr. Pham Van Sang, Director of Department of Science and Technology, said that only in the period of 2001-2006, the province has implemented 36 projects of agricultural and rural research projects with an investment cost of nearly VND 15 billion. , including 30 provincial projects and 6 ministerial-level projects under the rural and mountainous programs. Do well the role of " midwife " in science and technology activities in the locality. Through the results of the selected scientific topics and breeding 19 plant varieties; breeding many high quality pig breeds with lean rate up to 60%; sind chemistry of cows, bringing many new breeds of cattle and poultry into production, building 49 demonstration models with advanced farming processes suitable to local conditions of various ecological zones, applications Biotechnology in increasing productivity and quality of agricultural products, minimizing environmental pollution and protecting human health.
