Farmers clean the fields to plant Summer-Autumn rice 2025

Focus on cleaning the fields to plant rice

Currently, farmers are focusing on cleaning the fields and sowing the 2025 winter-spring rice crop according to the first sowing schedule recommended by the professional agency to limit pests and diseases . Mr. Nguyen Van Ninh (Khanh Hung commune, Vinh Hung district, Long An province) said: "From the beginning of the crop, farmers were propagandized and instructed to sow according to the recommendations of the professional agency to achieve good results. This crop, my family produced 3 hectares of rice, and now we have finished preparing and are ready to sow."

According to the Head of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Vinh Hung district - Nguyen Thanh Tung, in the 2025 winter-spring rice crop plan, the whole district will sow 28,300 hectares. The sector guides farmers to clean the fields to limit weeds, rice straw, plow and bury the straw to increase soil fertility, limit organic poisoning, cut off the spread of pests and diseases; level the fields to limit weeds and golden apple snails; strictly implement concentrated sowing and planting according to the crop calendar.

According to the plan, for the 2025 winter-spring rice crop, Tan Hung district will plant 37,000 hectares. Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Tan Hung district - Phan Van Ni said: "Given the weather and pests that still pose a risk of outbreak, negatively affecting production, the District People's Committee has directed relevant agencies, units, and People's Committees of communes and towns in the area to focus on implementing many solutions to ensure successful production of the 2025 winter-spring rice crop.

Accordingly, localities focus on directing the review and development of reasonable planting plans, ensuring the isolation period with the Winter-Spring crop . Regularly update weather, hydrometeorology, water resources, insects, especially brown planthoppers and rice leaf miners to arrange planting times suitable to the conditions of each locality.

Thousands of hectares of rice are sown not according to the recommended schedule.

In many areas of Summer-Autumn rice 2025, farmers sowed not according to the schedule recommended by professional agencies.

Although the Department of Agriculture from the province to districts and towns recommends that farmers plant the 2025 winter-spring rice crop according to the crop calendar to limit pests and diseases, up to this point, farmers in Dong Thap Muoi districts of the province such as Tan Hung and Vinh Hung still massively plant the 2025 winter-spring rice crop with an area of ​​thousands of hectares not following the recommendations.

In Vinh Hung district, more than 8,000 hectares of HT rice have been planted before the first sowing schedule, concentrated in low-lying communes such as Tuyen Binh, Tuyen Binh Tay, Vinh Thuan, Vinh Tri, Vinh Binh. Mr. Tran Van Vinh (Vinh Tri commune, Vinh Hung district) said: "The whole area has been plowed by people to plant HT rice in 2025. Although we know it is not the sowing schedule yet, everyone is doing it, we have to follow."

In Tan Hung district, after harvesting the 2024-2025 Winter-Spring rice crop, farmers continued to plant HT rice without following the recommendations of professional agencies. Currently, the district has more than 3,600 hectares of HT rice, concentrated in low-lying communes of the district such as Vinh Loi, Vinh Chau B, Vinh Thanh, Thanh Hung, Hung Thanh,...

According to the Chairman of Vinh Hung District People's Committee - Tran Van Cuong, to ensure good results in the 2025 winter-spring rice crop production, limit the spread of pests, and the risk of drought and heat, the District People's Committee directed members of the District Production Steering Committee and Protection, People's Committees of communes, towns, and related units to focus on directing the review and development of a reasonable winter-spring rice sowing plan; propagandize and mobilize farmers after harvesting the 2024-2025 winter-spring rice crop not to sow the 2025 winter-spring rice immediately, but to plow, prepare the land, clean the fields, etc. to destroy pathogens, and sow according to the recommended crop schedule.

In addition, the district recommends farmers to use the following rice varieties: Group of fragrant rice and glutinous rice varieties: ST24, ST25, RVT, IR4625 glutinous rice; group of high-yield, high-quality and lightly fragrant rice varieties: OM4900, OM7347, OM18, Dai Thom 8, Nang Hoa 9; group of rice varieties that are quite resistant to drought and salinity: OM5451, OM4900,... The district promotes the linkage of production and consumption of agricultural products according to the Project on applying high technology associated with restructuring the agricultural sector in the area; recommends the development of high-quality, organic production models to increase production value,...

Spontaneous sowing and planting without following the crop calendar can easily lead to outbreaks of pests and diseases on rice plants, directly affecting productivity. In addition to propaganda, farmers need to raise awareness, proactively prevent risks in production, apply scientific and technological advances to the fields and actively monitor and care for rice plants to promptly detect and treat pests and diseases, ensuring a successful crop./.
