Nghe An: Amazed at thousands of tomato plants that can never be harvested
(Baonghean.vn) - Visiting the greenhouse growing thousands of new Israeli tomato varieties (Nuvi 708), we were amazed to see the tomatoes laden with fruit, the plants tens of meters long, and the harvest never ending.

To achieve this result, Mr. Tien has applied new advances in agricultural production, using smart fertilizers to produce new Israeli tomato varieties in greenhouses. This is a one-time fertilizer that dissolves evenly during the growth process, providing even nutrition for the plants, imported by Mr. Tien's family from Ho Chi Minh City for production.
In addition, applying automatic small watering system technology to each tree helps to save water and maintain even humidity of the tree in the living environment in the substrate.
Greenhouse owner Tran Duc Tien said, this is the first crop we have grown the new tomato variety Nuvi 708, with an investment of over 150 million VND (of which the government supported nearly 60 million VND).

“Each tomato seed costs 3,000 VND. During the growing process, we received advice and support from technicians from the Central Institute of Plant Breeding and agricultural development policies from local authorities. During the care process, we also encountered difficulties such as the flowering time, which required adjusting the amount of water accordingly (increase the amount of water when it is sunny, and reduce it when it is rainy).”
It can be said that the application of scientific and technological advances, specifically the construction of a model using smart fertilizers to produce new Israeli tomato varieties in the greenhouse of Mr. Tran Van Tien's household, has initially brought high efficiency and economic benefits.
Up to this point, Mr. Tien has harvested more than 1.2 tons, the selling price ranges from 30,000 - 50,000 VND/kg. With the plant growing to tens of meters in length, it is possible to harvest many clusters of fruit, the fruiting time is from 5 - 6 months, the expected quantity of tomatoes in the whole garden when the season ends will be up to tens of tons.
Growing tomatoes in greenhouses is considered an advanced solution in modern agricultural production, with many outstanding advantages. This form will help protect crops from insects and pests, thereby minimizing the use of pesticides; creating a good environment for plants to grow and develop.
Using smart fertilizers, combined with drip irrigation systems, will produce clean products, ensure food hygiene and safety, save costs and increase crop productivity.

“The cleanly produced Nuvi 708 tomato variety has brought high economic efficiency to households. In the coming time, the district will continue to have policies to support the replication of this model so that people in the area can increase crop productivity and develop the economy.”
