In the morning of 14/07/2014, Central PetroVietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Joint Stock Company (PVFCCo Central) in collaboration with its local agents and the Agriculture and Fishery Promotion Center in Quang Ngai Province successfully held the Review Workshop on Model of Phumy Fertilizer Demonstration on Watermelon at Binh Hoa Commune, Binh Son District, Quang Ngai Province.
The workshop was attended by leaders of Agriculture and Fishery Promotion Center in the province, local authorities and more than 100 farmers involved in watermelon cultivation and keen on its economic efficiency at Binh Son District – Quang Ngai Province.
At the workshop, the representatives of Quang Ngai Agriculture and Fishery Promotion Center reported on the demonstration model results. Accordingly, the demonstration model using Phumy urea and Phumy NPK 16-16-8+13S+TE, as compared with the comparative model of conventional care of farmers (Phu My Urea and NPK Phiphos), resulted in less pests, big and strong stems, broad leaves, big and condense watermelon fruits with red color inside, sweeter and the yield of 30 tons/ha, higher by 1 ton/ha than the comparative field. Besides, with the demonstration model, the farmers can save more than VND6.5 million/ha thanks to the difference in fertilizer price as compared to the comparative field. With the price of watermelon currently at VND4,000/kg, after deducting all expenses, the farmers will gain nearly VND56 million/ha in profit.
The implementation of the demonstration model on watermelon has affirmed the quality of Phumy fertilizers, providing local farmers with economic and efficient cultivation solutions highly appreciated by the local authorities.
