An agricultural sci-tech service program, Hwanggumyolmae (golden fruit), is now very popular with agricultural production units across the country.
Through the program, agricultural officials and farmers can have access to data related to agricultural science and technology including those on growth forecast, achievements and common knowledge and find solutions to the problems arising in farming practice.
The Naejung Farm in Yomju County has taken a step forward in grain production with the help of the program.
By using the program, the farm transmits information about its soil, including the numbers of plots, sea level, gradient and depth of soil, and climatic conditions to the agricultural informatization institute of the Academy of Agricultural Science and receives relevant data. In particular, it maps out seasonal farming plans and puts the whole processes of agricultural production on a scientific footing on the basis of the information on when and how many seeds should be sown per phyong, what kind of rice seedlings should be cultivated after raising certain numbers of their leaves and when they have to be transplanted, how much striking root fertilizer, fertilizer for tillering, regulating fertilizer and ear fertilizer should be applied per unit and when, and how rice paddy irrigation should be managed.
The Ryongnim Farm in Mundok County sprayed natural bioactivator and multi-element mineral fertilizer as a leaf additional fertilizer by making effective use of database on sci-tech findings built in the program to boost the growth of crops even in the rainy season when it is often cloudy.
With the help of the program, the Usan Farm in Sinchon County selected the suitable plots for introducing the no-tillage cultivation method and watering period and received answers to the question of when, what kind of and how much herbicide they should apply to enhance the weeding effect which is the most important in the no-tillage cultivation.
“Many units and farmers across the country have joined the ranks of high-yielding units and farmers in the course of using the program. They call the Hwanggumyolmae program a precious helper and close companion for high yield,” said Ri Yong Chol, section chief of the Agricultural Commission.
