Tam Hop Commune (Quy Hop): Winter-spring rice yield reaches 6 tons/ha

(Baonghean.vn) -These days, Tam Hop commune of Quy Hop mountainous district is urgently harvesting winter-spring rice to prepare for the new crop.

This crop, Tam Hop commune planted 60 hectares, of which 40% was GS9 hybrid rice, 20% was PHB 71 hybrid rice, and the rest were other varieties. To encourage farmers to convert Nhi Uu 838 rice variety to PHB 71 hybrid rice, the commune People's Committee allocated 4 million VND from the budget to support Bao An hamlet when planting 5 hectares of this variety.

Farmers in Tam Hop commune harvest rice.

Thanks to good leadership, farmers were able to spray two batches of pesticides to prevent pests such as brown planthoppers, white-backed planthoppers, brown planthoppers, etc. on rice at the two stages of heading and flowering. Thanks to these efforts, the average yield of this rice crop reached 6 tons/ha.

To prepare for the summer-autumn crop, farmers prepare the land and plant seedlings as the harvest progresses. In the coming crop season, the commune’s agricultural committee will continue to direct farmers to widely plant PHB 71 and GS rice varieties to replace Nhi Uu 838 rice varieties.
