Many farmers in Dong Nai province have abandoned the habit of using pesticides, creating ways to kill pests and diseases for the orchards with high economic efficiency.
Raising the "hero" of weaver ants
Taking us to the orchard, Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan (Hung Nghia hamlet, Hung Loc commune, Thong Nhat district, Dong Nai province ) excitedly boasted: “For about 2 years now, my orchard has not had to use one kilogram of differentiation. study and do not have to spray pesticides. Currently, I only use IMO probiotics and raise weaver ants in the garden, but all pests and harmful insects are eliminated, and the garden is gradually balancing the ecosystem so there are very few pests and diseases. ".

According to Mr. Tuan, in the past, when his family's garden had to spray once every 7 days, sometimes when spraying late, the fruit would be enchanted by worms, causing dryness and curling the leaves. . Even so, the trees kept coming out with young buds where they were bitten so far, making the whole garden seem like… a dry wood garden. Therefore, Mr. Tuan has found a way to prevent it by raising weaver ants and bio-organic methods.
From 2018, Mr. Tuan started to make IMO preparations, he took advantage of all the excess food sources, animal carcasses, natural ingredients available in the garden and locally to create IMO preparations for food. for trees, helping our garden to be lush and healthier. After that, he used this microbiological product to irrigate the garden, about 6 months later, all the grapefruit stumps and other fruit trees in his garden began to show signs of revival.
Due to the recovery of the disease, good nutrition makes the plant no longer suffering from root rot, nematodes, harmful bacteria are destroyed and the plant starts to flower evenly. “If we abuse chemical fertilizers, pests will be greasy, the more poisonous the plant is sprayed, the health of people is affected. Therefore, I combine IMO preparation and raise insecticide weaver ants, after only 2 years, the whole family's orchard is free of diseases. Production costs are also reduced by about 2/3 and the economic efficiency increases significantly ”.
Similarly, thanks to raising weaver ants to kill pests in cocoa gardens, Doan Van Le (Muoi Le), Loc Hoa hamlet, Tay Hoa commune, Trang Bom district have brought good results. At first, Mr. Le bought 1.2ha to invest in growing oranges and tangerines, but when he attended a training course on planting and developing cocoa trees in the locality, he invested in planting an additional 3 ha of cocoa intercropped with rambutan. Durian and applying domesticated methods, nurturing weaver ants to protect the orchard without spraying pesticides.
“I learned the techniques and methods of weaving weaver ants from experts from the University of Agriculture and Forestry and was unexpectedly more successful than expected. Thanks to this herd of "insect killers", my garden has no disease, gives a high yield, every year I save tens of million dong of pesticide money/ha ", Mr. Le shared.

Make feces yourself, medicine is safe
In recent years, many farmers in Dong Nai province have applied biotechnology to organic agricultural production, taking advantage of the source of domestic waste, animal husbandry to make fertilizers, and non-toxic biological pesticides. cheap price.
Faced with the practical requirements of the domestic market and export of safe agricultural products, farmers are increasingly interested in the application of self-composting methods of organic fertilizers as well as pest control by natural methods. such as models of rice fields with flower banks, growing flowers and grass in gardens, raising weaver ants, and making their own biological pesticides to control pests and diseases.

Typically in Hung Loc commune, there is Mr. Bui Van Hung who self-researched how to take care of the pomelo garden effectively and safely. Mr. Hung confided: “I often find to buy oyster shells to heat and spread into powder and then mix with water to irrigate the garden surface will help balance the pH of the soil; At the same time, oyster shell meal also helps to increase the soil porosity, improves the absorption of nitrate, which is very useful ". According to Hung, the oyster shell is also an important mineral-rich resource for livestock, plants, and environmental treatment.
Mr. Doan Ngoc Thanh (Tin Nghia hamlet, Xuan Thien commune, Thong Nhat district), a farmer who has planted clean grapefruit for more than 20 years, successfully applied the method of killing insects and pests with lights and hanging color palettes in the orchard. . With this method, Mr. Thanh does not have to use drugs and chemicals to treat the orchard, which is both expensive and affect his own health. At the same time, from fruit products with delicious quality and safety, he always sold high prices.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phuoc, a good farmer at the national level (Hung Loc commune, Thong Nhat district), said that since 1994 in the locality, he has implemented the IPM program on rice, no one has to spray pesticides and plant crops. If you are healthy, you can preserve the beneficial natural enemies.
“Currently, our people are aiming to produce organic products on crops. My family's super early jackfruit garden is also applying organic production, minimizing chemical fertilization and spraying. Even raising grass under the tree to create vegetation cover to keep moisture and balance the ecology of the garden ”, Mr. Phuoc shared.
According to Mr. Phuoc, organic production is no longer a sporadic story of some farmers but has become a development trend applied by many farmers and encouraged replication by localities.
With the goal of selecting organic agricultural development as a spearhead, Vinh Cuu district has just implemented a project on transparency of organic agricultural products and constantly replicating the model from citrus production to vegetables. fruit, orchid ...
Mr. Pham Minh Phuoc, Chairman of Vinh Cuu District People's Committee said: “In the period 2020-2021, the district strives to have 50% of farmers implement the method of using probiotics in production. The locality will associate the project on organic agricultural product transparency with the development of garden tourism and ecotourism in order to promote and expand markets for both fresh and processed agricultural products ”.
With organic production, farmers will actively make fertilizers, pesticides, and grow well with better fruit quality; Especially, the investment cost is much lower than using chemical fertilizers and fertilizers. Although production in this direction is not too difficult, it requires farmers to patiently learn, research and observes during the cultivation process to draw practical experiences from themselves.
