(Baonghean.vn) - In the 2023 spring crop, all rice varieties produced by Thai Binh Seed in Nghe An province yielded 7-8 tons/ha, with many areas reaching 9 tons/ha.

With superior productivity, quality and especially the ability to resist diseases and adapt to the negative impacts of climate change, over the years, ThaiBinh Seed Group's seed sets have truly conquered and won the trust of farmers in many localities.

Outstanding productivity, good resistance to adverse conditions

The 2023 spring crop is the first crop in Thanh Lien commune (Thanh Chuong) to introduce the QL301 rice variety into a demonstration model on a scale of 0.2 hectares. Next to the golden ripe rice field ready for harvest, Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa in Lien Truong hamlet happily said: The rice plants grow and develop favorably, the plants and leaves are healthier than other varieties, and are almost free of pests and diseases.

"The rice has not been harvested yet, but looking at the plump grains and the high percentage of solid grains like this, the yield promises to be very high," Mr. Hoa said excitedly.

On May 20, ThaiBinh Seed Group coordinated with Thanh Chuong district to organize a field workshop to evaluate the results of the QL301 hybrid rice demonstration model in the area. This is a set of rice varieties recognized for circulation by the Department of Crop Production - Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in 2020. The results of the demonstration model on an area of ​​1 hectare in Thanh Lien commune showed that the QL301 variety has good resistance to pests and diseases, is strong, resistant to lodging, and resistant to diseases, especially for yield and good quality rice.

According to Mr. Le Dinh Thanh - Vice Chairman of Thanh Chuong District People's Committee: These initial results will be the basis for the district's Department of Agriculture to research and add to the mass production variety, contributing to bringing economic efficiency to farmers.

In the spring crop of 2023, in addition to Thanh Chuong district, ThaiBinh Seed has also demonstrated this variety in some key rice districts of Nghe An province such as Yen Thanh, Quynh Luu, Dien Chau, with a total area of ​​10 hectares.

Mr. Bui Quang Tuan - Director of the North Central Branch, ThaiBinh Seed Group said: In all these localities, the expected yield is over 71 quintals/ha. This is the premise to propose the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and localities to add this rice variety to the structure to increase production value in the following crops.

Thai Xuyen 111 is also a rice variety of Thai Binh Seed that is popular with local people. Put into production in the area since 2015, according to Mr. Nguyen Cong Hiep - Vice Chairman of Thanh Lien Commune People's Committee, up to now, no rice variety has "surpassed" Thai Xuyen 111 in terms of productivity, cultivation requirements as well as pest and disease resistance.

“There are years when the Thai Xuyen 111 rice area accounts for more than 300 hectares out of the total 380 hectares of rice in the commune, with the highest yield reaching over 8 tons/ha; except for a few years when rice blast and leaf blight appeared, the rest were almost free of pests and diseases, so people really like it,” said Mr. Nguyen Cong Hiep. In the spring crop of 2023, the expected yield of Thai Xuyen 111 rice in Thanh Lien commune is about 7.3 tons/ha on average, 4 tons/ha higher than the average estimated yield of the whole commune.

Not only in Thanh Chuong district, but also for many consecutive years, Thai Xuyen 111 rice variety has proven its outstanding characteristics and advantages, and has been trusted and chosen by farmers to put into production in many localities in the province. This spring crop, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hop's family in Quynh Hau commune (Quynh Luu) produced 10 sao of Thai Xuyen 111 rice. Although the beginning of the crop suffered from many unfavorable weather factors, thanks to the addition of genes resistant to bacterial leaf blight and rice blast, the rice plants were almost not infected with pests and diseases, the rice plants grew and developed well, with a yield of nearly 9 tons/ha. It is known that her family has been "loyal" to Thai Xuyen 111 rice variety for more than 10 years.

Accounting for nearly 50% of the spring rice area of ​​the whole province

Thanks to the addition of genes resistant to bacterial leaf blight and rice blast, some varieties of ThaiBinh Seed Group such as TBR 225 and TBR 97 have increased their resistance to pests and diseases. In addition to superior characteristics such as short growth time, strong plants, and good lodging resistance, the production area has increased rapidly.

In the 2023 spring crop, Nghe An has over 40 thousand hectares of rice planted with ThaiBinh Seed Group's rice varieties such as TBR 225, TBR 89, TBR97, Phuc Thai 168, Thai Xuyen 111...All of the above rice varieties yield 7-8 tons/ha, many areas reach 9 tons/ha.

The reason why these rice varieties are trusted by localities and farmers to be put into widespread production is because of their characteristics of strong tillering, adaptability to many different soil types, good resistance to pests and diseases, high yield, and delicious rice quality. In some localities, many varieties have been produced in large fields, bringing high efficiency, contributing significantly to increasing the value of goods.

According to Mr. Nguyen Tien Duc - Head of the Provincial Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection, along with strictly implementing the crop calendar and strictly following the cultivation process, introducing good quality varieties is a very important factor to help production achieve good results and high efficiency.

“The contributions of ThaiBinh Seed Group in providing varieties that are increasingly adaptable to weather changes, superior in productivity and product value, have greatly contributed to increasing the value of the province's agricultural products,” Mr. Nguyen Tien Duc shared.

And in the future, we will continue to introduce varieties with suitable growth time, very high yield and delicious rice; especially the resistance, especially resistance to pests and lodging will be improved."
