(Baonghean.vn) - The model of processing straw into organic microbial fertilizer is gradually creating smokeless fields, returning organic resources, increasing soil fertility, and minimizing environmental pollution.
These days, it is the "peak farming season" time, people are harvesting rice and preparing the land for the summer-autumn crop. Although the pressure of the season is intense, farmers in Thuong Tan Loc commune (Nam Dan) still collect straw and stubble to make organic fertilizer.

This crop, the commune was supported with 200kg of yeast and other products to process about 40 hectares of straw into fertilizer for the fields. In addition to the households supported with the products, many other households, seeing the effectiveness, have also boldly bought the ingredients to make compost."

The results showed that the fields fertilized with microbial fertilizer processed from straw and rice husks were loose, humus-rich, the rice roots developed well and yielded higher yields.

Mr. Ho Dinh Thang - Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Nam Dan district said: "Through this model, we will gradually create smokeless fields, restore organic resources, increase soil fertility, and reduce environmental pollution."
