Objective of the project
was to develop an experimental model to grow scallions and bok choy using German
nano tech mineral fertilizers, insect preventing net system and Israeli drip
irrigation technology following VietGAP certification in Tan Thanh district, Ba
Ria - Vung Tau province. The aim was to help farmers reducing the use of instant
chemical fertilizers, developing sustainable agriculture model to register for
the certifition of VietGAP safe vegetable production model.
The farm of Mr. Nguyen
Van Thanh at Lang Cat hamlet, Tan Hai commune was chosen to grow vegetables for
the experimental model. The model included a 1000m2 insect net system and
1000m2 Isareli drip irrigation system. The products met food safety standards
set by the Ministry of Health. The process ensured food safety standards which
is the basic requirement to get VietGAP certification.
The result showed that
the project successfully developed a complete process for growing scallions and
bok choy that suitable to grow in local soil conditions. Surrounding net system
has limited 60% of the wind blowing into the garden, keeping the moisture
during dry season, limiting the problem of fallen plants during rainy season
and minimizing pesticides used during cultivation. Israeli drip irrigation
system helps providing water regularly and directly to the plants, creating a
moist environment in the soil that promotes the growth of vegetables.
According to the
Council, the project provided a low cost vegetable growing model that is
suitable to the Ba Ria – Vung Tau climate and meets with the demand of safe
vegetables of customers in the province. The research project was agreed for
acceptance and graded as average.
