Although the hybrid rice variety Thuy Huong 308 has just been put into cultivation, it has been highly appreciated by farmers nationwide for its adaptability to many ecological regions and its very high yield, promising to help farmers have more successful crops and good prices.
Mr. Luc Thanh Lam, Head of Da Bac Hamlet (Ban Dat Commune, Phu Binh, Thai Nguyen) shared: Our hamlet has 65 hectares of rice, in previous crops we often planted Khang Dan and some other rice varieties. This crop we planted nearly 1 ton of Thuy Huong 308 rice variety, up to now we must say that this rice variety is very suitable for the local soil, compared to other rice varieties, it is much more productive.
Delegates of Thai Nguyen province evaluate the quality of Thuy Huong 308 rice in Ban Dat commune, Phu Binh, Thai Nguyen.
When we first introduced this rice variety, the villagers were very surprised, but after experiencing the harsh weather and storms, we are now very confident in this rice variety. In the coming time, we will definitely expand 100% of the production area of this rice variety for farmers in the village.
"In particular, monitoring shows that Thuy Huong 308 rice variety can withstand storms, has good resistance to pests and diseases, and brings high yield, estimated at nearly 7 tons/ha," Mr. Lam emphasized.
Thuy Huong 308 is a 3-line hybrid rice variety bred by Vietnam Seed Group (Vinaseed) and owns the production and business copyright.
The 2024 Summer-Autumn Crop is the third crop that Vinaseed has coordinated with the Thai Nguyen provincial agricultural sector to implement a demonstration model of the high-quality hybrid rice variety Thuy Huong 308. The rice variety was put into production under unfavorable weather conditions, with high pest and disease pressure, and encountered storms in the final stage.
Despite these conditions, Thuy Huong 308 rice variety still grows very well with outstanding advantages such as strong tillering, fast growth and development, concentrated flowering, good resistance to blast disease, bacterial leaf streaks, high percentage of solid grains reaching nearly 90%, 15% higher than the control variety, and good lodging resistance.
Ms. Duong Thi Du (Tan Khanh commune, Phu Binh, Thai Nguyen) counted the number of solid grains on the Thuy Howowg 308 rice flower and got 250 grains.
Visiting the 30ha model of Thuy Huong 308 rice variety production in Da Bac hamlet (Ban Dat commune, Phu Binh, Thai Nguyen), delegate Duong Thi Du (Tan Khanh commune) went directly to the field to check and count a cluster of 9 flowers, long stems, 250 firm grains/flower, very healthy leaves and very disease-free. "The harvest is almost here but the leaves are still green, with this characteristic, it can be affirmed that this rice variety will definitely have a very high yield."
With a growing period of 125 - 130 days in the spring crop and 105 - 110 days in the summer crop, and the ability to adapt to many ecological regions, Thuy Huong 308 rice variety is stable in large-scale plantings, reaching 7-8 tons/ha, and good intensive cultivation can reach 10 tons/ha.
Commenting on the quality of Thuy Huong 308 rice variety, Mr. Luc Van Hoa (Da Bac Village) said: As one of the households participating in the Thuy Huong 308 rice variety production model, following the seeds until now, I see that this rice variety has a beautiful, compact shape, good flag leaf durability, balanced stem and leaf development, average height from 110 - 115cm. In particular, this rice variety has thick flowers, each clump has about 8-10 flowers, the flowers are very even, tillering is concentrated, the proportion of small flowers is almost non-existent.
"There are only about 2-3 days left until harvest, but the rice fields are very free of pests. If with previous rice varieties, we had to use pesticides 3-4 times, then with this crop of Thuy Huong 308, we have not had to spray pesticides to prevent pests yet," Mr. Hoa added.
According to Mr. Hoa, another difference between Thuy Huong 308 rice variety and other rice varieties is that it is very strong and resistant to lodging. "Recently, storm No. 3 made landfall, causing many other rice fields in Thai Nguyen to fall, but the areas planted with Thuy Huong 308 rice variety were almost not affected too much, the rice plants still stood firm. The reality on the field has proven this.
Despite being affected by unfavorable weather, Thuy Huong 308 rice variety still gives outstanding yield, reaching nearly 7 tons/ha.
Not only does it have high yield and good quality, but the rice quality of Thuy Huong 308 rice variety is also highly appreciated by Thai Nguyen farmers.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Huan (Xuan Khanh commune) shared that this crop, her family also planted 8 sao of Thuy Huong 308 rice variety, which is much more beautiful than other rice varieties, especially I just tried the quality of the rice of this rice variety, it is really delicious, the rice is rich, not too sticky, very suitable for the current market taste.
Thuy Huong 308 hybrid rice variety is fully transferred by Vinaseed, directly maintaining production in Vietnam, so it can proactively source seeds and the price is much cheaper than imported hybrid rice varieties.
Thuy Huong 308 has a short growing period, allowing farmers to harvest earlier. This variety is also resistant to pests and diseases, and is suitable for the climate and soil conditions of Thai Nguyen, where there is ecological diversity.
Mr. Nguyen Dinh Trung, Deputy General Director of Vinaseed shared: The 2024 crop season encountered harsh weather conditions, which greatly affected agricultural production, especially rice production, but Thuy Huong 308 rice variety in the regions still demonstrated its resistance and high yield potential.
This result was achieved because farmers applied the correct cultivation process of the manufacturer, in addition, Vinaseed's technical staff always provided technical support to accompany farmers during the production process. Therefore, the Thuy Huong 308 rice fields all bloomed in a concentrated manner, avoiding risks caused by natural disasters and not affecting productivity.
Thai Nguyen farmers visit the Thuy Huong 308 rice variety model.
According to the assessment of Mr. Nguyen Van Khiem - Deputy Director of the Agricultural Service Center of Phu Binh district: Through 3 seasons of deploying Thuy Huong 308 rice variety in the locality, it can be initially assessed that this is a variety with a lot of potential and prospects. And this is a short-term rice variety so it is very suitable for the production structure of Thai Nguyen. Another fact that I noticed is that the Thuy Huong 308 model is very disease-free, the grains are packed tightly, and the percentage of solid grains is high. This rice variety is far superior to the rice varieties being grown around.
In terms of appearance, Thuy Huong 308 rice grains are shiny, white, soft, fragrant, and have a rich flavor, so it is highly appreciated by people for its ability to suit current consumer tastes.
With the actual results demonstrated in the fields at the field conference in Ban Dat commune, many Thai Nguyen farmers have proposed to expand the area of Thuy Huong 308 rice variety in the coming time.
Mr. Khiem added that climate change is becoming increasingly unpredictable, causing extreme weather, floods, droughts and storms, causing great losses to Vietnam's agriculture. Rising temperatures create conditions for pests to develop, causing crop failures and limited crop growth, requiring new varieties that are suitable and adaptable to climate change.
Therefore, we recommend that Vinaseed Group continue to provide good quality rice varieties and support farmers with cultivation techniques, better meeting farmers' expectations on the need to use high quality seeds for cultivation, improving productivity in agricultural production.
Responding to that wish, Deputy General Director of Vinaseed, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Trung said: It can be said that the launch and supply of Thuy Huong 308 rice variety is an affirmation of the development orientation, as well as investment in selecting and creating high-quality rice varieties, thereby contributing to increasing the value of agricultural production for Vinaseed farmers.
In the coming time, the Group will continue to accompany the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and specialized agencies in localities to organize field workshops and technical training courses to help farmers better understand the effective farming process and achieve the highest productivity.
