Closely monitor the fields to prevent pests and diseases that harm rice.

Faced with unfavorable weather conditions and an increasing trend of pests and diseases, experts recommend that farmers increase care, closely monitor their fields, and proactively prevent pests and diseases to protect the productivity of the 2025 Summer-Autumn and Autumn-Winter rice crops.

Farmers spray pesticides to prevent pests and diseases on Summer-Autumn rice crop 2025

Currently, the 2025 Summer-Autumn rice crop is in the tillering to panicle stage. This is the period when rice is very susceptible to many harmful organisms. According to records, the area of ​​​​infestation by harmful organisms is slightly increasing; some pests such as leaf blast and stem borer have slightly decreased thanks to farmers regularly visiting the fields and timely prevention.

For Autumn-Winter rice, most of the newly planted areas have not yet had significant pests, mainly appearing sporadically in early sowing areas. However, it is forecasted that next week, if the weather continues to have alternating rain and sunshine, high humidity, the risk of pests such as rice blast, early yellowing of leaves, leaf blight, brown planthoppers, leaf rollers, stem borers, etc. is quite high.

Experts recommend that farmers regularly check their fields, especially during sensitive rice stages. Farmers need to apply integrated pest management (IPM), use pesticides properly and at the right time, and limit widespread spraying to protect the field ecosystem. At the same time, they should apply balanced fertilizers and avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizers to reduce disease pressure, especially blast and grain sterility./.
