Right from the beginning of the season, thanks to following the recommendations of the functional sector, applying the model of "1 must, 5 reductions", organizing fertilizer application, spraying pesticides at the right time, and timely pest control, the rice plants grew and developed well, the rice yield was high, over 8 quintals/sao, with the fresh rice price ranging from 7,500-7,8000 VND/kg, dry rice 8,500-8,800 VND/kg, after deducting expenses, the family earned a profit of over 5 million VND/sao, higher than previous crops. In particular, some intensively cultivated areas have good rice yield of 9 quintals/sao. Sharing the joy of a good harvest, Mr. Kieu Van Vuong, Van Lam 1 village, said: This winter-spring crop, my family sowed 3 sao of TH6 rice and applied the model of "1 must, 5 reductions".

Farmers in Phuoc Nam commune harvest rice.

Mr. Khuu Le Khac Tri, Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Thuan Nam district, said: In the 2023-2024 winter-spring crop, the whole district produced 1,647 hectares of rice. Up to now, farmers in communes have harvested nearly 1,000 hectares, with an average yield of over 7 tons/ha, higher than previous crops. To achieve the above results, in addition to farmers' proactive production, many technical solutions have been implemented by the district such as organizing training and instructing people to use varieties with high growth potential, good resistance to climate conditions, pests and diseases and care right from the beginning of the crop; organizing instructions for people to apply the model "1 must, 5 reductions". In addition, reasonable water regulation for each field and field has resulted in higher rice yields than previous crops. Currently, the district is focusing on directing communes to completely harvest the winter-spring rice crop; At the same time, develop a summer-autumn crop plan suitable to weather conditions.
