In the 2024 Winter crop, Soc Son district directed the Dong Xuan Agricultural Service Synchronization Mechanization Cooperative to coordinate with the district's Agricultural Service Center to deploy the model "Demonstrating new potato varieties with high yield and quality adapting to climate change".
The model, with the support of the Agricultural Extension Center ( Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development), was implemented in Dong Xuan commune, with a scale of 10 hectares. This is also one of the pilot models in applying mechanized production in the 2024 Winter crop.
Dong Xuan Nguyen Thanh Co Agricultural Service Synchronized Mechanization Cooperative said that when implementing the model, to ensure planting on time, the cooperative has introduced mechanization into production. Machines replace human labor, performing from tilling the soil, making beds, fertilizing to covering the soil.
Previously, Dong Xuan Agricultural Service Synchronized Mechanization Cooperative had invested in purchasing 4 multi-purpose plows and 2 mulching machines. With each multi-purpose plow, in one day, it can plow about 3.5 hectares of land and make 2.2 hectares of ridges.
“The post-planting mulching machine has a capacity of about 3.5 hectares/day. So there is no need to worry about crop delays. Compared to manual work, using a machine will save about 10 million VND/ha in land preparation costs,” said Mr. Nguyen Thanh Co.
Vice Chairman of Soc Son District People's Committee Do Minh Tuan said that, implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Construction, Soc Son District has stepped up information and propaganda to complete the land consolidation and plot exchange work early.
Up to now, the area of rice fields has become larger and wider, and the internal roads have been basically concreted. Along with the strong trend of labor migration in rural areas, the application of mechanization in agricultural production is an inevitable trend.
According to Mr. Do Minh Tuan, the synchronous application of mechanization in land preparation, fertilization, sowing, care, and harvesting will solve the labor shortage, meet urgent seasonal requirements; especially reduce costs and increase efficiency in local agricultural production.
In the coming time, Soc Son district will continue to identify mechanization in agricultural production as an important driving force to promote the transformation of crop structure, variety structure and planting structure in the district. Thereby, it will contribute significantly to improving the efficiency and added value of agricultural production.
