Particularly for highland areas, late planting and late harvesting, it is easy for insects and pests to concentrate on harvested areas and cause damage. Therefore, it is necessary to visit the fields regularly, detect and handle them promptly and effectively.
Closely monitor weather developments and harvest quickly when the rice is 80% ripe or more to avoid damage caused by storms./.
