168 billion VND to promote agricultural science and technology

Funding is provided for 141 science and technology tasks in the agricultural sector and to support the application of technology transfer, for 7 years.

The report on implementation results of the "Strategy for scientific and technological development of agriculture and rural development in the period 2013 - 2020" of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City shows that many scientific tasks have been performed with high applicability.

One of them is the task of researching and creating probiotics to prevent root rot and root rot caused by fungi on vegetables; trial production of nitrogen-fixing and phosphorus-degrading microbial preparations for the production of microbial organic fertilizers; Creating probiotics from green and white mushrooms to prevent omnivorous pests and jumping bugs on vegetables.

By applying scientific and technological advances, many models of safe vegetable production have been established in Ho Chi Minh City such as Phuoc An and Ba Duong cooperatives, etc. The model of growing vegetables using probiotics and micro-fertilizers. biology, biology is replicated. Mechanization in vegetable production is applied in the model of growing melons, melons, and tomatoes in the Hi-Tech Agricultural Park (Cu Chi District). Two varieties of melons Kim Anh and Alien in greenhouses yield 1.5 to 2 times higher than those grown in the field.

With the livestock industry, the city has researched herbal preparations such as radix lotus, moringa, chlorophyll, etc. to limit and replace the use of antibiotics. The product is applied at Tien Phong safe pig farming cooperative (Cu Chi district), bringing many results in forming a clean pork model of the city.

The agricultural industry has also successfully applied the temporary submersion system in plant tissue culture propagation, allowing to shorten the propagation time and increase the survival rate of plants. The results were transferred to the three provinces of Binh Dinh, Binh Thuan and Dong Thap.

Aquaculture has applied fermented soybean meal and supplemented with Lactobacillus Plantarum to enhance the immunity of white leg shrimp. Shrimp achieved the criteria of nutritional resistance, protein resistance, increased protein content by 14%, amino acids by 18%, equivalent to imported products from Korea and Taiwan. The price of shrimp is also lower than the estimated price of 15,800 to 16,800 VND per kg compared to the product on the market at 17,500 VND per kg...

Assessing the effectiveness of science and technology policies, the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City said that the agricultural structure continued to shift from growing one-crop rice with low efficiency to crops and livestock of high economic value suitable to the conditions. of the city to develop urban agriculture such as orchids, ornamental plants, safe vegetables, dairy cows, ornamental fish... Applications of biotechnology in breeding, care, nurturing, and improvement of product quality The product is bringing results from reality.
