(Baonghean.vn) - The coldest spell in the past 30 years has killed peanut plants in Dien Chau. The most damaged areas include Dien Thinh, Dien Ky, Dien Thanh, Dien Trung... However, the areas that sowed late suffered less damage.
 |
| After the recent cold spell, peanut plants in Dien Ky area when pulled up had no roots, leading to the inability to absorb nutrients, causing the plants to not grow and die. Most of the peanut plants in Dien Ky and Dien Thinh fields suffered from this condition. |
 |
| Ms. Tran Thi Luc next to her peanut field, she said that even though she covered the peanuts with plastic to keep them warm, the plants still could not survive the harsh weather, her 6 acres of peanuts lost 80%. |
 |
| Fields that were kept warm in plastic cabinets and sown later had a higher survival rate. However, Ms. Le Thi Huong - Vice Chairman of Dien Thanh Commune People's Committee said: the whole commune had planted 170 hectares of peanuts/286 hectares of cultivated land, of which 50 hectares were completely lost. The damaged areas will encourage people to switch to growing vegetables to provide to Phu Dien APG Joint Stock Company. On the morning of February 3, the Commune People's Committee distributed vegetable seeds so that people could confidently cultivate on the damaged peanut area. |
 |
| Dien Thanh people remove plastic covers from peanut plants after the warming period. They said that by following the farming schedule of planting peanuts 10 days before the beginning of spring, planting them after the beginning of spring, and then planting them after Tet, and by covering them with plastic covers in a timely manner, they have limited the damage caused by the recent cold spell on peanut plants. |
