Nghi Loc: Many rice planting areas died

(Baonghean.vn) - The sun is shining, the spring rice fields of Nghi Loc district are starting to tiller. However, in places where the rice was sown, there is a prolonged cold spell, the seedlings die or develop unevenly, the leaves turn yellow, some grow and some die. Currently, people in many communes are going to the fields to replant the rice.

Nghi Loc's rice granaries such as Nghi Hoa, Nghi Kim, Nghi Phuong, Nghi My, Nghi Dien, Nghi Van... are covered in a smooth green color. In places where rice is planted according to the correct process, the rice bushes develop, tiller strongly and evenly, people are taking advantage of the warm weather to go to the fields to fertilize and spray pesticides on the rice. In places where the sowing and planting encounter prolonged cold, the rice grows unevenly, some gain and some lose, people are going to the fields to replant the rice.

Nghi Phuong people go to the fields to sow spring rice.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nguyen - Hamlet 12, Nghi Phuong Commune, said: her family grows 5 sao of mixed rice, but because her family is short of people, she cannot plant as the commune and hamlet recommend, if she wants to plant, she has to hire expensive workers, so she has to sow 2 sao. When it is cold, the sown rice dies, she has to raise the seedlings to plant in the dead rice places. She also takes advantage of the opportunity to plant more in small ditches along the road to have more food. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thai - Hamlet 13 Nghi Phuong said: currently she not only plants rice for her family but also helps people in Nghi My plant rice because Nghi My has a lot of rice planted, and when it is cold, it dies, so many families need people to plant rice.

Meeting Mr. Tran Van San - Hamlet 10, Nghi My Commune, who was planting rice for his family, he told him: his family planted 3 sao of late spring rice, due to the cold, there was root suffocation disease and thrips, he had sprayed root stimulant and thrips killer. The most difficult thing was that the whole hamlet needed manpower to plant the rice, My Thach field was considered the second time planting, because the planting was thick in some places, thin in others, some had some, some did not. If you are not careful when planting rice, you can trample the young rice, it is really hard. Next year, the family will try to plant more effectively.

In Nghi Van, Nghi Lam, Nghi Kieu communes, due to the highlands, the more sown area, the more people have to work hard to soak rice. Soaking rice also causes the phenomenon: the rice plants are higher in some places and lower in others due to the different ages of the seedlings, many families pull out the excess seedlings to soak or ask for seedlings to soak.

This spring crop, Nghi Loc planted more than 7,000 hectares of rice, due to the prolonged cold weather, the area was mainly late spring rice. Rice was planted from 8 to 10 of the first lunar month, although it was the right season, but because many localities sowed and planted rice, more than 10% of the rice area died. Nghi Loc people are actively going to the fields to check for pests and diseases, and soak the rice to overcome the dead rice. Currently, planthoppers and thrips have appeared in these fields.
