Quang Tri: Converting corn in paddy soil water shortage

Model checking corn on dehydrated rice land in Hai Le, Quang Tri Town
Implement programs that convert crops against drought before hot local situation lasts, the summer collection 2015, Agricultural Extension Center (KNKN) Quang Tri province has implemented the "Production of corn hybrids new "tough on paddy land irrigation water at Hai Le, Quang Tri Town.
The transition was initially brought significant economic benefits to farmers, the effective exploitation of land resources, contributing to the restructuring of the summer-autumn crop.
The model was implemented in the Cooperative Achievement Report (Hai Le, Quang Tri Town) on 02 ha area. Join implementation model, farmers are supported 100% corn and 30% of agricultural materials. Based on the season, time of growth and cultivation conditions, the Center has selected provinces KNKN glutinous corn hybrid HN 88 put into practice models. This is the new generation of hybrid maize seed, because the Company Central Seed research, breeding.
According to farmers participating in the model, planting and care of maize hybrid HN 88 simple folds like maize and conventional maize lines. Input costs are not large, simple techniques. Monitoring results show that, the rate rises were achieved from 80-90%, healthy plant growth and uneven, the average tree height from 1.5 - 1.8m. Although the weather this year has many unexpected developments, drought continued to occur but through actual inspection in the field, farmers have confirmed glutinous corn hybrid HN 88 have advantages compared to many other varieties planted in the localities of the province. Root system strong legs, good anti-dump, resistant to unfavorable environmental conditions and pests on corn, seed sheath is compact, that is true, dark green when ripe. So can use leaves and tops for livestock even when plants were harvested corn. In particular, glutinous corn HN 88 short growth period, estimated at sowing to harvest as possible for fresh corn just over 2 months. Yield is estimated at 3 tons / acre. Also resistant to lodging and pests good, high yield, the HN 88 corn resistant to drought quite so well suited to the field is not active foot water.
