Dynamic, always learning and application of scientific and technical advances in the cultivation of corn to reduce costs, increase productivity and sharing experiences for hundreds of farmers apply, it is Mr. Tran Duc An in clusters 16, Krong Buk social,

The livelihood

Capital was born into a family with many children of workers, it is so small was the eldest of labor involved to help parents nurture children, Mr. An's former coffee plantation workers in Nghe An, every morning 's famous gong sounded for work, all the hours on.

By getting married, the couple was assigned to the 10th pole to make coffee, all to test monthly and paid. However, climatic conditions unfavorable to rainfall, the productivity of coffee is not high, there are some pieces of income.

In 1994, in Dak Lak with empty hands, he decided to ask a friend to borrow 2 million and with little savings he bought 7 acres of land. There is land in hand, he started to reclaim trees day and night, plowing to plant green beans. Due diligence should diligently plying his one year loan is paid.

Keep trying, a few years later he purchased an additional 5 acres of land again.

Skip bean corn

With 12 acres of land have been, he spent 8 An planting pole beans. However, due to growing pest that costs big investment, so he decided to switch to conventional corn. Planting corn with beans better income but not yet effective.

An he confided: "Do not breed quality assurance, not mastering the pest management measures should interest earned from corn is very low. Thankfully, 2007 through seminars, technical training on planting corn, I was known by the company Syngenta and support with testing corn breeding NK54 4 pole ".

Recalling the past, each time the corn pest, the drug dealers are selling a wide variety of spray several times brought about without achieving the desired results.

"Since attending the workshop, I have grasped the technique, known to many special medications should be applied very effectively. FS 312.5 Cruiser Plus uses to seed treatment, help corn grow healthy and good, cost-saving fertilizer pesticides.

Amistar Top and Virtako 40 WG 2 drugs are everywhere farmers preferred to plant disease help, no borer damage, significantly reducing sheath blight and leaf spot. Basically, cornfield disease after using pesticides according to Syngenta's technical package, "he said.

An now that he has fully agree with the principle of what is planted though and hope to have new techniques yield and profitability.
Despite meets "his full experience" with corn, but any extension workshop which he also were present.
Mr An said: "Though I have grasped farming techniques but still have to learn and obtain information, new to farming processes have improved, there is such a new high yield and reduce costs, help family life became better off, for the children's education is where to choose. "

If corn which only the dealer knows but does not have the same buying techniques and control lawn care, pests and diseases are considered as wasted money invested for the same, so now just have to have good breeding and engineering solutions new farming comes forward with high incomes.

Believing in high-yield hybrid corn Security should he decide to expand the area under cultivation to 8 perches. When Syngenta varieties bred successfully NK67 into Vietnam and then he decided to move to this breed.

8 perches newly harvested corn, sold for $ 3,500 VND / kg (fresh corn), higher than 100 e / kg compared with the other farmers, he said An elated: "I grow corn selling price because there bright particles due to drug use and all varieties of Syngenta. Fresh corn yield stood at 1.1 tons / perches that cost 1.5 million co-investment / rod instead of 2.5 million as compared to traditional farming methods before. This service profits of nearly 20 million / 8 pole ".

Disseminate knowledge widely

An Every year he cultivated corn crops 3. Currently preparing for 2 seeding and application of machine bed, hitting grooves, trimmed in seed production.

Exuberant voice, he said: "Find the seed quality is an important factor, but to maximize breeding potential, it must understand the technical process from start caring corn crop in late season.

Syngenta's integrated solution "Invest right, hit the words to" I'm very thorough tutorial begins with a reasonable plan from the beginning of the season; choosing the right breed combined with drug treatment with Cruiser Plus to ensure density, at the beginning of a healthy plant; good weed management and nutrition, and ultimately protect and maximize productivity with fungicides Amistar Top has helped me achieve performance beyond expectation. So for years, I only use the Syngenta corn and drugs ".

"She looked me in the cornfield village green, healthy trees, beautiful should pull together to learn to see what this season corn planting, spraying pests that do, more than 80% of farmers in the neighborhood come here to ask me that "An he boasted.
