The weather forecast for the coming days is still cold and rainy. According to the recommendations of the Department of Agriculture, localities that have not yet sown rice seedlings must strictly follow the crop calendar, avoiding early sowing because according to the assessment of the Department of Hydrometeorology, this year's spring crop will take place in warm weather conditions, if sown early, it will be easy to encounter cold at the end of the season, affecting productivity. At the same time, it is necessary to cover the seedlings with plastic and spray pesticides to kill planthoppers. Newly sown rice areas, if not covered with plastic, need to be covered with 100% of the area to prevent cold and prevent black-striped dwarf disease for spring rice./.
