The yield of summer-autumn rice crops during the flood season reached 70 quintals/hectare.

(Baonghean.vn) - Over 3,000 hectares of summer-autumn rice in the remote communes of Yen Thanh district (Nghe An province), which were affected by flooding, are now ripening. Farmers are focusing on accelerating the harvesting process, with an estimated average yield of 70 quintals/hectare.

Rice crops in Yen Thanh district, affected by flooding, are estimated to yield 70 quintals/hectare.

Despite unfavorable production conditions due to prolonged drought and pest infestations, most communes, with their experience in intensive farming, have structured their crops using short-day, high-yielding purebred rice varieties such as Khang Dan mutant, Thien Uu 8, Bac Thom, Song Lam 9, and some hybrid rice varieties suitable for the soil such as Thai Xuyen 111, VT404, Thuy Huong...

With their experience in intensive farming, farmers have made efforts to overcome drought difficulties right from the beginning of the season; they have effectively applied scientific and technical measures, combined with intensive investment according to each growth cycle of the rice plant.

Due to early planting, most of the early summer-autumn rice crop was not infected by the 5th and 6th generations of leaf-rolling caterpillars, and other pests and diseases were minimized, resulting in higher average yields at the end of the season compared to previous years.

Farmers are using agricultural machinery to speed up the summer-autumn harvest.

Many areas have already been harvested.

To avoid floods and storms, and to protect their crops, with the motto "better to harvest early than risk losing the crop," farmers are taking advantage of favorable weather conditions these days to urgently mobilize manpower and combine harvesters to the fields to speed up the harvesting process, while also quickly clearing the land to prepare for a successful winter crop.
