Research on application of an organic fertilizer in safe vegetable production

In Tien Giang, a scientific and technological product of the Center for Biological Struggle (under the Institute of Plant Protection) - base fertilizer (Bioroot organic biofertilizer) hereinafter referred to as Bioroot - was transferred and assigned to the Center for Engineering and Biotechnology (under Tien Giang Department of Science and Technology) from December 2006 to December 2010 in the framework of the mountainous rural project “Building production models and using bioproducts for safe vegetable - fruit production” in order to contribute to promoting agricultural production in the direction of producing high quality goods, safe for consumers and the environment. Bioroot then continued to be studied and applied in specialized vegetable areas of Long An province from 2012 - 2015 together with other bioproducts on leaf vegetables, spice vegetables, fruit vegetables, in the scientific research project “Building a model of safe vegetable production with VietGAP certification in three districts of Can Duoc, Can Giuoc, Duc Hoa, Long An province” in order to find out bioproducts that can help maintain vegetable productivity and quality when it is necessary to reduce the amount of nitrogenous fertilizer for plants, especially in the final stage and ensure the time to isolate nitrogen fertilizers before harvest so that the leaf vegetables, spice vegetables, fruit vegetables are suitable for hygiene and safety requirements for food of VietGAP standard. This is a scientific and technological product transferred through a mountainous rural project from a central research agency to a local applied research agency. For a long time, the product has been received, tested, researched and applied locally on many different crops, showing its suitability with many types of local crops, at the same time, also in accordance with VietGAP standards of safe production.
