Feeding rice with eggs and fresh milk

HA TINH Using a mixture of chicken eggs and fresh milk sprayed on rice plants provides nutrients, helps the grains grow plump, limits harmful pathogens, and produces delicious rice.

This is considered a new technical solution applied for the first time in rice production in Ha Tinh.

Cam Xuyen district is the locality with the largest rice growing area in Ha Tinh province. In recent years, the district has focused on applying science and technology in production to gradually build the Cam Xuyen rice brand and trace the origin of the products.

Each hectare of rice requires 4 chicken eggs, 4 packs of fresh milk, 160 liters of lime water, mixed and stirred well before spraying on the rice. To ensure the uniformity of the solution when in contact with the rice plants as well as to reduce time, cost and labor, the company has applied drone spraying technology.

Based on the results achieved in previous crops, in the spring crop of 2024, Cam Xuyen district continues to expand the area of ​​organic rice production in a chain linked with enterprises. The chain is deployed in the communes of Cam Binh, Yen Hoa, Nam Phuc Thang, Cam Quang, Cam Thanh and Cam Xuyen town with a total scale of nearly 86 hectares.

The entire production area applies machine planting - tray seeding and strictly follows the rice production process according to organic standards, "saying no" to inorganic fertilizers and chemical pesticides.

Currently, rice is entering the stage of standing and forming panicles. In order to help the rice plants have enough nutrition, grow healthily and produce delicious rice, the People's Committee of Cam Xuyen district has coordinated with the associated enterprise, Hoa Lac IEC Joint Stock Company, to pilot the use of a nutritional mixture made from chicken eggs, fresh milk and lime water sprayed on an area of ​​0.5 hectares of organic rice using a drone in Binh Quang village, Cam Binh commune (Cam Xuyen).

Mr. Duong Ngoc Hoang - Director of Hoa Lac IEC Joint Stock Company said: The mixture of chicken eggs, fresh milk and lime water is considered a nutritious preparation to provide nutrients for rice plants, prevent grain smudging, help rice grains become firm, increase the uniformity of rice grains, limit the appearance of pathogens and give better quality rice grains. This solution has been successfully implemented in a number of models in An Giang, Kien Giang, Quang Tri... In Ha Tinh, this is the first time the model has been applied.

Regarding the formula for taking care of rice fields with this mixture, Mr. Duong Ngoc Hoang shared: During the entire development process of rice plants, from planting to harvesting, nutrients will be sprayed twice, the first time when the rice is 45 days old, the second time about 2 weeks later (when the rice has flowered for 10 days).

Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh - Secretary of Cam Xuyen District Party Committee said that organic agricultural production in general and organic rice production in particular are inevitable trends to create quality rice products with high economic value, ensuring safety for people as well as the field ecosystem.

Currently, Cam Xuyen district is building an organic rice brand. In order to achieve organic certification in the near future, the district has promoted the application of advanced science and technology in production from land preparation, tray-planting technology - transplanting machines, pest control with biological products, spraying with drones...

With the solution of using a mixture of chicken eggs, fresh milk, and lime water to fertilize rice plants, this is the first time the district has boldly applied it on an area of ​​5 hectares. At first, this measure shows that it is safe for humans as well as for the products created, and is friendly to the environment. However, to have a specific assessment of the effectiveness, after the pilot spraying, the district will continue to monitor, and if the desired high results are achieved, it will be recommended for expansion in the following seasons.
