(Baonghean.vn) - Many orange farm owners in Quy Hop district have invested in installing Israeli technology drip irrigation systems, bringing many benefits.
 |
| Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hai Yen's family, Minh Thanh hamlet, Minh Hop commune (Quy Hop) has nearly 7 hectares of oranges. In early 2015, she invested about 40 million VND to install a drip irrigation system, using Israeli technology, to irrigate 1 hectare of oranges nearly 3 years old. |
 |
| Along the length of the main water pipe, at each orange tree base, a drip pipe is looped around the base, following the width of the new tree canopy for efficiency. |
 |
| In the orange garden, Ms. Yen built a water tank of about 40 m3 to install a pump system and direct water control valves. |
 |
| Ms. Yen adjusted the water control valve accordingly. When fertilizing through the drip irrigation system, the fertilizer was dissolved in a bucket of water, then sucked into the water pipe to the orange trees. Therefore, even a small amount of fertilizer was evenly applied to the entire orange garden of hundreds of trees. |
 |
| Applying drip irrigation technology, orange growers only need to water twice a day, in the morning and afternoon, 30 minutes each time is enough. |
 |
| Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai Yen said that applying drip irrigation technology for oranges has many benefits: Saving water, saving time and effort, fertilizing evenly, always ensuring enough moisture in the soil so the orange trees grow well, the leaves are always green, and the oranges bear fruit early. This orange garden of Ms. Yen's family has only 2 and a half years and has already borne fruit. |
 |
| Minh Hop Commune (Quy Hop) currently has 1,200 hectares of oranges, of which people have invested in installing drip irrigation systems for about 50 hectares. Mr. Nguyen Van Dung - Chairman of the Commune People's Committee said: Orange areas with drip irrigation have a 30% increase in productivity compared to orange areas that are directly irrigated by hoses. Minh Hop's orange productivity is from 10 - 12 tons/ha/year. |
