Complete crop planting on schedule

This year’s crop, the early season weather with many heavy rains has created favorable conditions for farmers in the province to prepare the land. Thanks to that, the agricultural sector’s planting plan has been effectively implemented. Up to now, the total winter-spring rice area in the province has reached nearly 22,000 hectares and is basically completed.

In Hoang Que ward, the area for winter-spring rice cultivation this year reached more than 1,000 hectares. Thanks to the large fields planned and the investment in irrigation canal systems, farmers have proactively brought water to the fields in the most convenient way. Ms. Tran Thi Them, a resident of Yen Duong area, Hoang Que ward, shared: This year, my family planted 5 hectares of Hoa Vang sticky rice. Thanks to the heavy rains at the beginning of the season, land preparation and plowing were very favorable, without the drought like every year. Currently, my family's entire rice area is in the tillering stage.

In the 2025 crop, Hoang Que ward planted over 1,000 hectares of rice.

The cultivated area in Hoang Que ward is mainly highland rice fields, so people here mostly plant early-season rice to harvest early, freeing up land to produce an additional winter crop for the end of the year. By August 3, the entire winter-season rice area of ​​the ward had been sown and planted.

Mr. Le Van Do, Chairman of Hoang Que Ward People's Committee, said: The Ward People's Committee has directed the specialized department to closely monitor weather developments and emerging pests to promptly propagate and guide people on preventive measures to protect production results.

High quality rice varieties such as Hoa Vang sticky rice, Dai Thom, Khang Dan, DT120, RVT, and Huong Thom are widely grown by farmers.

Along with Hoang Que ward, up to this point, communes, wards, and special zones in the whole province, farmers have also completed planting the entire winter-spring rice area. According to this year's plan, Quang Ninh province planted 29,011 hectares, of which the winter-spring rice area is 21,754 hectares, focusing mainly on varieties such as Dai Thom, Khang Dan, DT120, RVT, Huong Thom... Implementing the goal of the Agriculture & Environment sector to focus on improving food quality, the variety structure has also been focused on organizing and implementing from the beginning of the year.

Mr. Tran Van Thuc, Head of the Provincial Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, said: We have issued a document guiding localities on crop structure and plant varieties, and proposed to put into production a number of high-quality rice varieties that have been confirmed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment . Up to now, the whole province has basically completed the area of ​​​​rice cultivation for the winter-spring crop. In particular, the early-season rice crop is at the stage of standing and forming panicles. For the mid- and late-season rice crop, the plants are in the tillering stage. This is an important time for farmers to focus on care and ensure crop productivity.

This year, the whole province planted nearly 22,000 hectares of winter-spring rice.

Through field investigation and survey, the provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment recorded: Larvae and small leaf rollers of the 6th generation are blooming and causing damage to rice fields, especially early and mid-season rice. For the 4th generation of 2-spot stem borers, it is forecasted that after August 20, they will emerge, larvae can cause silver bloom on rice fields in late August and early September. In addition, other harmful organisms such as brown planthoppers, white-backed planthoppers of the 6th generation, brown leaf blight, leaf blight... are likely to arise and cause strong damage from late August onwards. The Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection recommends that localities closely monitor the development of pests and diseases to proactively prevent and protect the flag leaf set, avoiding affecting the yield of the 2025 rice crop. Farmers in the province are also advised to regularly check their fields, detect pests early and apply integrated pest management (IPM) measures; Use pesticides according to the "4 rights" principle when pests reach the control threshold, to prevent pests from breaking out and spreading widely.

According to the plan, the whole province strives to achieve a rice output of 218,800 tons for the whole year, with an average yield of 52-53 quintals/ha. For this crop season alone, with the initiative of farmers and early direction from the industry, Quang Ninh set a target of rice output of over 113,000 tons.
