Feeding Taiwanese guava trees with fish sauce residue, a strange method with unexpected effectiveness
Mr. Tri "fell in love" with Taiwanese guava trees in 2017. At this time, Mr. Tri also had difficulty choosing crops and livestock to develop the economy. At this time, his friends introduced him to Taiwanese guava. This type of crop has high yield, sweet fruit, and great economic efficiency.
On average, each Taiwanese guava tree produces 60kg to 90kg of fruit per year. Photo: NT

So Mr. Tri decided to travel all the way to Hai Duong and Hung Yen to learn techniques and select varieties. Initially, Mr. Tri planted 200 Taiwanese guava trees. The first guava trees were very suitable for the soil and climate conditions, so they grew quickly. After that, Mr. Tri boldly expanded the area and planted more than 1,000 Taiwanese guava trees.
Mr. Tri grows Taiwanese guava completely using organic methods. "In addition to manure, I combine the use of NPK fertilizer with reasonable dosage. Especially, I add composted fish sauce residue to water the trees, helping the fruit to be sweet and not dry and spongy. Every year, I buy about 300kg of fish sauce residue to compost and water the guava trees. The fish sauce residue is mixed with manure to compost and then fertilize or can be diluted to water the guava trees," Mr. Phan Dinh Tri shared.

When planting guava trees, it is necessary to fertilize regularly, pay attention to pruning branches, mounding the roots, and keeping moist. In particular, when the fruit is still young, it must be covered with plastic bags to limit pests and diseases, helping the fruit to be beautiful and easy to consume.
Currently, each tree yields 70 to 90 kg of fruit per year. In addition to a stable source of income, Mr. Tri's model also creates jobs for 6 seasonal local workers during fertilization and harvesting time with 200,000-250,000 VND/work.
Mr. Nguyen Ba Trinh, Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Quynh Thach Commune, said: "Mr. Tri is a pioneer in effectively converting crops. Mr. Tri uses organic microbial fertilizers to grow Taiwanese guava, both saving costs and improving product quality. His Taiwanese guava is recognized as meeting OCOP standards, a typical model in developing clean and sustainable agriculture in the locality."
