Supporting Seedling Soil and Weed-Control Snails for High-Quality Rice Production

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do, conducted the first rice transplanting today (21st) in the eco-friendly organic field of Songpyeong, Yeongam-eup, at the paddy field of Seo Yun-ho.

The county expects full-scale rice transplanting to begin in mid-next month and to be completed around mid to late June.

The first transplanted variety, Jingwang (Suwon 575), is an early maturing type that was sown on the 1st and transplanted after a 20-day seedling period.

This variety is characterized by good rice appearance and taste, making it suitable for table rice, and it is resistant to lodging, bacterial leaf blight, and has high resistance to rice blast disease.

A county official said, “We will do our best to produce high-quality Yeongam rice that consumers can trust through various supports such as seedling soil for nursery trays and snail control for weed management to help farmers,” expressing hopes for a bountiful harvest.
