Worms attack clean vegetables, the whole village needs to shine a light to catch them.
(Baonghean.vn) - To ensure a source of clean vegetables for the Tet market, people in Na Tong village, Tam Thai commune, Tuong Duong district (Nghe An) have to use lights every night to catch pests.
 |
| The clean vegetable model has been implemented since 2013 in Na Tong village (Tam Thai commune) with an investment capital from the new rural development program of about 140 million VND on an area of 2 hectares. This model has helped dozens of households in Na Tong gradually escape poverty. To ensure a source of clean vegetables, at about 4 am, people light lamps to catch worms. |
 |
| At night, in this vegetable garden, there are many types of worms that come up from the ground to eat the leaves and fruits, causing damage. |
 |
| Ms. Vi Thi Thang, President of the village's clean vegetable growing model, said: "The source of clean vegetables for Tet is very rare, so for many weeks now we have had to mobilize women to take advantage of the opportunity to catch worms in the vegetables." |
 |
| With just a flashlight, people shine on vegetable plants to find and catch worms. |
 |
| This is a vegetable growing area that does not use pesticides, so there are many pests. |
 |
| The children in the village also took advantage of the opportunity to go to the garden to help their parents catch worms. |
 |
| The lush green vegetable beds, which are manually fertilized, are promising to supply the Tet market in time. However, the clean vegetables in Na Tong village are still brought to the market by the people, and there is no place to buy them in large quantities. |
