Field workshop on high quality rice variety AC5

(Baonghean.vn) -This morning, May 24, at Dien Lien commune (Dien Chau), the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development organized a field workshop on high-quality AC5 rice variety.

AC5 rice variety was selected and created by the Institute of Food Crops, with a growth period equivalent to that of hybrid rice varieties. In the spring crop of 2012, Dien Lien commune (Dien Chau) planted 57 hectares in the Agricultural Competitiveness Project. Through practical production, AC5 rice variety has an average yield of 6.5 - 7 tons/ha, good tillering ability, quick flowering and ripening, and good rice quality. However, the variety is susceptible to brown spot and blast disease, and has a rather long growth period (133 - 138 days in the winter-spring crop and 115 - 120 days in the summer-autumn crop), so it is mainly produced in the winter-spring crop.
