To produce the 2024 autumn-winter crop with high productivity and output, the agricultural sector and localities in the province are focusing on implementing production plans and strategies to ensure the best time frame.
People of Hoang Cat commune (Hoang Hoa) plow and clear land to prepare for the autumn crop.
In the 2024 autumn-winter crop, the whole province strives to plant 152,000 hectares of various crops. Of which: 112,900 hectares of rice, 12,440 hectares of corn, 1,000 hectares of peanuts, 12,500 hectares of various vegetables and beans, 12,060 hectares of other crops... The whole province strives to achieve a total food output of 670,041 tons. According to the Thanh Hoa Hydrometeorological Station, during the autumn-winter crop production period, heat waves may reach record levels, drought at the beginning of the crop, saline intrusion, and storms and floods at the end of the crop will affect the planting progress as well as the growth and development of crops. Along with that, storm and tropical depression activities are more concentrated in the second half of the crop, and total rainfall will be lower than the average of many years. In addition, pests and diseases arise and develop in a complex manner and pose a potential risk of causing serious damage to crops such as leaf rollers, brown planthoppers, leaf blight, fall armyworms, etc.
Based on the above forecasts, to ensure the success of the 2024 autumn-winter crop production, the agricultural sector has developed and implemented a production plan. On that basis, districts, towns and cities review the plan, develop a plan to ensure completion and over-fulfillment of the plan assigned by the province. In particular, localities focus on planting area, food output, production value per unit area. At the same time, assign specific targets to the commune level, specifying the crop, in line with the actual conditions and advantages of each locality. In addition, localities focus on reviewing and converting inefficient rice areas, with inactive irrigation in the crop season to dry crops such as corn, vegetables, and animal feed. Along with that, localities select varieties that meet standards, have suitable growing periods, and are resistant to external conditions for planting.
According to Mr. Vu Quang Trung, Head of the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, due to the early and not limited autumn-autumn crop time frame, localities need to continue to expand the area of early-season tea cultivation, minimizing late-season tea, both ensuring safe production and creating land funds for winter-season production. Each district should only structure 5-6 main varieties, each commune from 2-3 varieties to effectively implement intensive management measures, water regulation and pest management. For upland crops such as corn, peanuts, vegetables of all kinds, etc., the appropriate variety structure should be arranged according to each land area and good, high-quality varieties with stable consumption markets should be used.
To produce the autumn-spring crop within the best time frame, by June 20, localities in the province had accelerated the progress and cleared 116,122.2 hectares out of 152,000 hectares of rice land. Local farmers had sown 3,761.7 tons of seedlings (including 2,858.6 tons of purebred rice; 903 tons of hybrid rice). In addition, farmers in Dong Son, Quang Xuong, Yen Dinh, Thieu Hoa, Trieu Son, Nong Cong districts... had planted 38,776.8 hectares of autumn-spring rice.
According to Mr. Vu Quang Trung, localities instruct people to prepare the soil carefully, use biological products to decompose straw and treat pests in advance to avoid organic poisoning after transplanting and limit harmful pests. Farmers only sow and plant on areas that are completely proactive in irrigation and drainage. Localities encourage people to apply technical measures such as tray seedling and transplanting machines to ensure quality and progress. Along with that, encourage the use of organic fertilizers of all kinds, specialized compound NPK fertilizers according to the manufacturer's instructions for each type of plant and each growth period. In the autumn-winter crop, crops grow quickly, so fertilization must be done early after the plants take root, start to branch or start to develop stems and leaves. Localities need to strengthen coordination with units operating irrigation works to regulate water appropriately, especially during the stages that require water for crops such as branching, beginning to differentiate flowers, and heading - flowering. In places where water is proactive, apply water-saving irrigation, surface-drying and have timely drainage plans when heavy rains and floods occur. The Department will send specialized staff to regularly inspect and visit fields to estimate, forecast, and detect early harmful pests and diseases and have solutions to direct and guide timely prevention measures.
By implementing production measures well from the beginning of the season, localities will be proactive in implementing the set plan, ensuring comprehensive success in the 2024 autumn-spring crop production in the province.
