Workshop on model of growing Dien grapefruit and drip irrigation system
(Baonghean.vn) - On January 21, the Science and Technology Council of Nghia Dan district organized a workshop on the model of growing Dien grapefruit trees and high-tech drip irrigation system on citrus trees.

| Conference overview. |
Before attending the workshop, delegates visited the 1-hectare model of Dien grapefruit trees of Mr. Nguyen Van Thuan's family in Tan Thai block - Nghia Dan town. This is a high-yielding grapefruit variety, with each tree bearing 150 - 200 fruits and the fruit can be left on the tree for 4 - 5 months. Dien grapefruit has many advantages over other grapefruit varieties such as bright yellow fruit color, after harvesting it can be left for 15 - 20 days and still fresh, juicy segments. Another great advantage of Dien grapefruit is that it is easy to grow, does not require high techniques, just needs careful care to easily give high yield.

The workshop also visited the intensive model of increasing productivity of drip irrigation on citrus trees of Khang Thinh Irrigation Technology Joint Stock Company. The total investment cost of the drip irrigation technology model for 1 hectare is about 45 - 50 million VND, with a minimum usage period of 10 years. The advantages of the drip irrigation system are low water demand; the system can operate regularly; reduce chemical runoff into the environment; limit soil erosion; reduce operating costs; make the soil moisture uniform and always reach the optimal moisture level for crops...
At the workshop, citrus farmers hoped that in the coming time, departments and agencies would need to make adequate investments to deploy and replicate the model of growing Dien grapefruit and drip irrigation technology on citrus trees./.
