Agricultural workers in all parts of the country, who are eager to greet the Ninth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea with great achievements, are manuring and tending crops scientifically and technologically after finishing rice-transplantation qualitatively in the right time.

The farms in South Hamgyong Province have widely introduced advanced methods of managing rice-paddy irrigation for enhancing the root activity of paddy rice.

The provincial rural economy committee, which gives precedence to boosting the activity of roots in order to minimize the crop damage by disastrous abnormal weather and produce a high and safe per-hectare yield, is intensifying technical guidance so that farms can manage water scientifically according to paddy rice cultivation methods.

Farms in Kowon, Kumya and Jongphyong counties drain paddy fields in good time in keeping with the growth of rice plants.

These farms which introduced nutrient cold seedlings in most of their farm fields this year launch into paddy draining as soon as the seedlings take root.

Officials set the irrigation and draining periods in keeping with soil conditions of each field and have ensured that the advanced water management method can prove effective in practice.

Farms in South Hwanghae Province, the largest granary in the country, are also manuring and tending crops in a scientific way.

Those in Yonan County, which set themselves the goal of weeding paddies more than two times, are mobilizing all manpower and means in that.

Other farms are also enhancing the weeding effect by applying optimum methods to suit the kinds and characteristics of weeds and the farms in Chongdan County are pressing ahead with weeding in a planned manner.
