ANIMAT 40SL Help Improves Potato Yield 23/10/2021

BSc Kim Xuan Loc

Sweet potato is a staple crop of Binh Tan district, Vinh Long province. Sweet potatoes have also helped farmers out of poverty on their own land, but in the last two or three years due to unstable prices and increasingly fluctuating prices of agricultural inputs, it has caused many difficulties for farmers those who grow sweet potatoes at this stage

Sweet potato is a crop with relatively high production costs compared to other crops, from seeding to harvesting. In which, the processing of sweet potatoes to tubers is one of the most important and most costly steps because it determines the success or failure of the future, whether sweet potatoes have a high yield or not depends on this stage.

Recognizing the difficulties of sweet potato farmers and aiming to help farmers solve problems as well as solutions to increase sweet potato yield and reduce production costs.

Recently, Saigon Plant Protection Joint Stock Company has successfully tested Animat 40SL (Mepiquat chloride 40% w/w) on sweet potato plants. The product was tested on the Japanese purple sweet potato field of farmer Ho Thanh Dung (Thanh Trung commune, Binh Tan district, Vinh Long province).

Animat 40SL product was tested with 03 different treatment concentrations and 01 control treatment according to farmers custom. Time of treatment: Spray 02 times in a crop at the stage of sweet potato 20 days and 27 days after planting.

- Treatment 1:

Spray Animat 40SL with 0.05% concentration - Mix 10ml Animat 40SL for a 20 -liter water tank.

Result: 30 days after spraying Animat 40SL (0.05%), the potato vine grows long, produces little and small tubers.

 

- Treatment 2:

Spray Animat 40SL with a concentration of 0.1% - Mix 20ml of Animat 40SL for a 20 -liter- water tank.

Results: 30 days after spraying Animat 40SL (0.1%), the potato vine developed sufficiently, produced more tubers and larger tubers than other treatments.

 

- Treatment 3:

Spray Animat 40SL with a concentration of 0.2% - Mix 40ml of Animat 40SL for a 20-liter-water tank.

Result: 30 days after spraying Animat 40SL (0.2%), potato vine was inhibited from growing strongly, producing little and small tubers.

 

- Control treatment: Spray according to farmers custom:

Mix 60ml of active ingredient of Propiconazole 250g/l + 15ml of active ingredient of Glyphosate 480g/l for 20 liters of water.

Results: 30 days after spraying with a mixture of Propiconazole and Glyphosate: The potato vine grows sufficiently, produces fairly good tubers and medium sized ones.  

 

With the results of trial test under the above conditions, it was found that the Animat 40SL spray treatment (concentration of 0.1%) gave the best effect.

According to the evaluation of farmer Ho Thanh Dung (Thanh Trung commune, Binh Tan district, Vinh Long province), Animat 40SL product gives very good results, both increasing productivity and reducing production costs compared to his traditional production, is very suitable for the current precarious sweet potato price situation. In addition, the treatment of sweet potatoes with growth regulator of Animat 40 SL (Mepiquat chloride 40% w/w) also reduces toxicity and has less impact on soil and water environment compared to his traditional method and farmers in Thanh Trung commune, Binh Tan district, Vinh Long province from the past until now.

To prevent, in addition to plowing and burying weed seeds, collecting weed stalks and stumps left after tilling the land to burn, not letting weeds produce seeds in production fields, etc., the use of chemical products is still a measure. optimal because of its ability to thoroughly kill weeds, reduce labor and take advantage of more time than manual weeding.To prepare for the coming Summer-Autumn rice crop, we would like to introduce to you a very new product of Saigon Plant Protection Joint Stock Company, which is Butoxim 5GR. This is a granular product used for spreading by Saigon Plant Protection Joint Stock Company in research, production and distribution.

 

 Miner has the scientific name Phyllocnistis citrella Staint., family Phyllocnistidae, order Lepidoptera. The  miner occurs in many countries in the tropics and subtropics. The main host of the miner is the citrus family - Rutaceae. In addition, the miner also attacks mangosteen and some other plants.

 

Adult is a small planthopper, with a body 2-3 mm long, the whole body is ash gray, slightly greenish, the wings are opaque with many small brown spots.Eggs are oval, 0.3 mm long, have a pointed end and are attached directly to the leaf surface, leaf axils.Larvae are very small, oval in shape, newly hatched are bright yellow. Age 2 and age 3 are in green. Age 4 and age 5 are golden brown and 2 small wing sprouts.

 

Green bugs specialize in the fruit of citrus groups (oranges, tangerines, lemons, grapefruits, kumquats...), some people call them orange bugs, or orange suckers. Their scientific name is Rhynchocoris poseidon or Rhynchocoris humeralis.

 In Vietnam, yellow leaf curl disease is very common on papaya trees, especially the disease is often severe in areas of high and continuous planting, areas with hot and arid climates. The disease has significantly reduced the yield and quality of papaya. Gardens that are infected early when the plants are young may not yield. However, up to now, many gardeners still do not know the cause and how to fix it.

 

 Spider mites are common pests on citrus trees, especially in hot and dry climates that are suitable for spiders to grow and cause severe damage.The group of harmful spiders is usually very small in size, unlike the natural enemy spiders.Spiders have a very short life cycle, high reproductive ability, create many generations in a year, so it is easy to break out into epidemics in a short time.

 

 This group includes species that are generally very small in size, causing damage by sucking plant sap (on leaves, fruits, branches, stems).

There are many species of mealybugs present on the group of Oranges,Tangerines,Grapefruits and Lemons (Citrus), which can be divided into 2 groups:

+ Group of sticky mealybugs with common varieties such as Lepidosaphes, Aonidiella, Coccus and Saissetia.

+ Group of flower mealybugs with common genera and species such as Pseudococcus, Planococcus and Icerya purchasi.

Dry branches and berries disease often appear to be common damage on coffee gardens during the rainy season. The disease causes death of branchs, dry fruit, severely affects the canopy structure and coffee yield if not paid attention to prevention.

  

 Pink disease commonly causes diseases on rubber plantations in the rainy season, especially on garden from 4-8 years old. This year, rubber has to go through a period of severe drought, weakening the tree, so now in tnshe rainy season it is easy to get infected. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to good management to avoid affecting the garden.

In recent years, the area of citrus has been expanded because it is a fruit tree with high economic efficiency. However, in order to sell at a high price, not only in quality but consumers also require the external beauty of the fruit, so pest management on citrus is a matter of great concern to farmers. The hot season is a favorable condition for thrips to develop and cause damage, affecting the commercial value of fruit.
