According to the report of Nghe An Plant Varieties Center: Tropical pure rice variety 15 was tested in basic and production tests from 2015 to 2017.

In particular, this rice variety grows well, has a hard stem, is widely adaptable, and is resistant to pests and adverse environmental conditions.

In the spring crop of 2019, implementing the tasks assigned by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Nghe An Plant Varieties Center built a pilot production model of tropical pure rice variety 15 in 10 districts representing the ecological regions of Nghe An with a total area of ​​74 hectares; Dien Thai commune (Dien Chau) alone conducted a pilot production on 16 hectares.
