Worms attack clean vegetables, the whole village uses lights 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 around 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 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 for vegetables." |
 |
| With just a flashlight, people shine on vegetable plants to find and catch worms. |
 |
| This is an area of vegetables grown without using pesticides so there are many pests. |
 |
| The children in the village also took the opportunity to go to the garden to help their parents catch worms. |
 |
| The lush green vegetable beds that are manually fertilized promise to supply the Tet market in time. However, clean vegetables in Na Tong village are still sold by the people at the market, and there is no place to buy them in large quantities. |
