In recent years, the agrochemistry institute of the Academy of Agricultural Science has developed some agricultural sci-tech products and introduced them across the country.
One of them is “Phungnyonmo 1,” a seed-coating agent conducive to putting rice-seedling cultivation on an intensive and industrial footing.
This agent has strong plant growth controlling and sterilizing effects, making it possible to grow healthy rice seedlings even under unfavourable weather conditions.
It is solid and therefore easy to carry and requires no seed disinfection process.
It can be used not only for rice but also for wheat, barley and other cereal crops.
Registered as a high-tech product, it is favoured by clients throughout the country.
The institute has also developed a repellent that prevents wild animals and birds from harming crops and introduced it to the farms in cities and counties in mountainous areas. It is expected to be used in pomiculture and forestry sectors as well.
Other achievements include a mixed herbicide which kills weeds by simultaneously inhibiting their photosynthesis, energy metabolism, hormone metabolism and protein synthesis.
