Kinh So hybrid rice variety gives a yield of over 8.5 tons/ha in the spring crop.

(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of May 15, in Thanh Lien commune (Thanh Chuong), the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development organized a field workshop to evaluate the Kinh So 1588 hybrid rice variety. Attending the workshop were leaders of the Department of Crop Production, the Department of Science, Technology and Environment, and the National Center for Testing and Testing of Varieties and Plant Products - Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Kinh So Uu 1588 rice variety is a 3-line hybrid rice variety introduced and tested by Nghe An Plant Breeding Center in Nghe An since the spring crop of 2012. Through the results of basic testing and production testing in different ecological zones in Nghe An and the northern provinces, it shows that this rice variety has many outstanding advantages compared to the hybrid rice varieties currently being widely grown in the area in terms of yield, rice quality and resistance to pests and diseases, unfavorable weather conditions, and relatively short growing period. The variety has been recognized by the Scientific Council of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for production in Nghe An province and the northern provinces since the spring crop of 2014.

Through the trials, the variety has a spring crop yield of 80-85 quintals/ha, intensive and balanced cultivation yields over 85 quintals/ha; summer-autumn-summer crops yield 70-75 quintals/ha. In particular, although it is a hybrid rice, Kinh So Uu 1588 rice variety hascGood quality rice. This is a rice variety that meets the requirements of yield and quality to replace hybrid rice varieties currently being produced in Nghe An province.
