Successfully growing high quality rice varieties from Japan

ĐS1 rice variety originated from Japan, was recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as a national variety in 2010 and was tested by the Lao Cai agriculture branch in Spring crop in the commune of 2 communes of Son Hai (Bao Thang). and Muong Hum (Bat Xat).

Field of field trials of rice variety DS1

Experimental results show that the DS1 rice variety has outstanding yield, averaging from 6-7 tons / ha, where good intensive cultivation reaches 7.5 - 8 tons / ha, good quality rice, flexible rice, suitable With market demand, higher income value than hybrid rice production 1.3 - 1.5 times.

Mr. Le Thanh Phong, Director of Lao Cai Agricultural Extension Center, said: DS1 rice variety solved simultaneously 2 main issues of productivity and quality.

This is a pure rice variety so farmers will take the initiative in local seed sources, reduce input costs and reduce production costs. On the other hand, due to outstanding characteristics, good cold resistance is suitable with the structure of early spring and the main spring season, ensuring the seasonal framework to develop production, increasing the third crop on 2 rice crop land, contributing to increasing the above income. cultivated land units, improving production efficiency in intensive farming.

Also according to Mr. Le Thanh Phong, in recent years, rice productivity and production of Lao Cai is quite stable, ensuring food security in the locality.

However, the traditional and key rice varieties, Nhi uu 838, Tien Uu 63 and Khang Dan . have high yields, but the quality of rice is not good and the value is low. On the other hand, annual production of spring crops, prolonged cold weather and cold weather, seedlings grow slowly, there are many places where dead seedlings must be re-planted, causing economic losses.

Lao Cai province will strengthen the dissemination of technical progress, put the DT1 rice variety into planting in 5 districts in the planned area: Muong Khuong, Bat Xat, Van Ban, Bao Yen, and Bao Thang . to contribute to supplementing seed sources. on-site on the province's high-quality rice seed structure and the target of a scheme on intensive farming to increase the agricultural sector already set.
