- Sugar cane cultivator type one row and two rows (cultivating sugar cane in phase 1, 2, 3 with row distance 1.4 m)
- Muck residue spreader
International collaboration in research and scientific activities
Collaborated with universities and international institutes as a leader and partner in several projects and activities, such as:
- Reduction of postharvest losses for agriculture producers and products in Asian Region;
- Mastering energy supply focusing on isolated areas (MESFiA);
- Sustainable Agriculture, Food and Energy (SAFE)
- Seminar on farm mechanization, agricultural machinery
Mechanization on rice straw based composting
Led by International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), the project on rice straw management was continued with another activity on the use of rice straw for composting. This activity was conducted with the collaboration of IRRI, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and Rynan Company (Tra Vinh). Besides, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Nghi paticipated the project as a part-time consultant of the project.
As the results of project, a compost turner was designed and tested for turning the bed with the main components of rice straw and manure. Mechanization on compost turning contributes to increase production capacity, free the labors’ hard work and reduce production cost.
