Long An Extension Center recently held a final workshop sesame intensive model on gray areas towards mechanization in Social Services .

 

Over 40 participants attended the workshop representing the National Agricultural Extension Center , research institutes, universities and more than 50 farmers in Vinh Hung sesame .

This topic is hosted by AEC Long An .

In addition to the application of intensive measures such as fertilization , irrigation , pest management , weed , sesame seed used for high productivity , while coordinating center with Institute of Agricultural Engineering & Technology after collection plans to conduct research and application of mechanization in harvesting sesame to reduce labor , cycads promote intensive development .

" Growing sesame intensive mechanization towards the gray area is the direction consistent with the policy of the province in the implementation of restructuring the agricultural sector , including conversion of paddy land area to the inefficient upland crops that are staple crops of corn and sesame , "he once said .

At the conference , MA Mai Thi Mong Ju , AEC Long An , Chairman of the topics presented results of sesame intensive model on gray areas towards mechanization .

After touring model actual delegates were evaluated in models cycads growing and growing , productivity is estimated at between 700-800 kg / ha higher than the outside plant sesame model ( extensive planting ) 1 -1.5 times .

According to preliminary calculations , the cost for 1 ha of sesame approximately 12-15 million, with sesame prices from 30000-40000 / kg , with the yield on farmers' profits from 10-15 million / ha , if applied use of mechanization in harvesting , the more help people reduce costs and increase profits .

Dr Mai Thanh Phung , Head Office of the National Agricultural Extension Center south of sesame crop is strong , fit on the gray area , this is one of the major crops in the restructuring of tree rice grown on land less effective in the northern districts of the province .

Due to the characteristics of gray areas , poor nutrition , poor water holding capacity so to achieve high performance , the sesame growers to adopt intensive farming , fertilizer inputs , fertilizer lined attention ; especially organic fertilizer , phosphate fertilizer enhanced , ensuring water at least 4 times in the case , the application of mechanized methods synchronized , perform 4 the link , established organizations , groups associated production , consumption cycads receptors to promote development and sustainable intensification in the near future.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung , director of Long An Extension Centre said the center will be time to continue links with businesses , scientists to continue to support people plant restructuring , priority cycads grow in the gray area , synchronous motor applications , the technique of fertilizer , high-yield breeding quality suitable for intensive farming .
