In the 2024-2025 winter-spring crop, the whole province will plant 25,500 hectares of rice. Currently, the weather is gradually warming up, quite favorable for crop growth, the first rice fields have begun to enter the tillering stage, so farmers across the province are pruning, patching, and applying fertilizer for the first time to accelerate the growth of crops, especially rice.

Right from the beginning of the year, after the end of the winter-spring rice planting, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and authorities at all levels have closely directed and guided farmers to actively take care of their crops. At the beginning of the season, cold spells occurred when the crops had just been sown, affecting the growth of the plants, especially rice, whose growth rate slowed down.
To be proactive in production and promote rapid growth of crops, districts, towns, cities and units in the agricultural and rural development sector of the province have increased staff to the grassroots level to direct production, inspect and guide farmers in implementing solutions for plant care; promptly detect pests and diseases on crops to have effective prevention and control measures.
For rice, it is necessary to regulate the water level in the field appropriately, not to regulate the water level too high, only let water into the field at a light level, about 1-2 cm because the rice is newly sown and create conditions for the rice to tiller well. Increase the use of growth stimulants, foliar fertilizers such as: kalihumat, atolic, super potassium... to help rice plants withstand unfavorable weather conditions, shortening the growing period.
On days when the temperature drops below 15oC, absolutely do not fertilize rice with nitrogen, but add ash, composted manure, spray phosphate and potassium fertilizers through leaves... to create favorable conditions for the rice to tiller strongly, concentrate and grow well. On warm, sunny days, take advantage of pruning to help the rice plants grow quickly.
In addition to rice, localities are also speeding up the planting of upland crops such as peanuts, corn, cassava, etc. For short-term upland crops, industrial crops, and fruit trees, trenches are dug to prevent waterlogging; additional compost, phosphate, potassium, cold wood ash, and trace elements are added to vegetable areas that are not yet ready for harvest.
Weeding, fertilizing, and replanting in some areas of peanuts and corn with low density, at the same time, increase inspection to detect and promptly handle harmful pests. When the weather is favorable, increase care and balanced fertilization for pepper plants such as: increasing composted organic fertilizer, microbial preparations, potassium fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, spraying foliar fertilizer containing Fe, Bo, Ca, Cu, B, Zn... lightly hoeing, breaking the crust of the topsoil of the canopy, helping the soil to be airy, overcoming damage and regenerating new roots to avoid cracking, fruit drop, and flower drop.
Carry out care when the weather is dry and warm, collect diseased plants in the garden to burn. Pay attention to creating good drainage ditches to limit humidity in the pepper garden when it rains heavily and for a long time; focus on preventing major pests such as: quick death, slow death, anthracnose, nematodes... Regularly visit the fruit garden to promptly drain water, detect and properly handle harmful pests.
The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has also directed its affiliated units such as the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection and the Agricultural Extension Center to strengthen close coordination with localities in directing production. At the same time, assign technical staff to closely follow the grassroots to guide measures for care and pest control on crops.
The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and local authorities also pay attention to informing and disseminating to the people about weather developments and technical measures for care and pest prevention to help people understand and implement them in the production process to achieve the highest efficiency.
Information and propaganda work is carried out on many channels, especially on mass media such as Quang Tri Newspaper, Provincial Radio and Television Station and local stations to promptly publish and broadcast articles on weather developments, production guidance; technical measures for winter-spring crop care; natural disaster prevention and control, and disease control on crops... for grassroots cadres and farmers to know and comply with all instructions from professional sectors and local authorities.
Farmers across the province strictly follow the close direction of the agricultural sector and local authorities on winter-spring crop production to focus on winter-spring crop production with high investment to promote good growth of crops.
Taking advantage of favorable weather and the direction of the government and functional sectors, farmers have a high awareness in farming work to care for crops with high resistance to minimize the negative impact of unfavorable weather, promoting the production of the winter-spring crop in 2024-2025 to achieve the highest results.
