With the viral affliction
known as black streaked
dwarf disease
noted to be worsening as
weather conditions change
with global warming,
thousands of hectares
of rice, maize and even
sorghum have been
ruined in countries like
Âu Lạc (Vietnam)
and China.
However,
Hứa Quyết Chiến, an
agriculture engineer from
Âu Lạc, recently devised
a method for protecting
crops from this disease.
Moreover, his solution
has been formulated
to be effective
without harming
the carrier insect, the
white back plant hopper.
Following years
of research, Mr. Hứa
realized that the more
pesticides were used
on crops, the more the
insects became immune,
and the more endangered
the crops would become,
therefore rendering
the chemical approach
futile in the long run.
While inspecting
infected fields in the
northern provinces of
Hải Dương, Thái Bình,
and Hưng Yên, Mr. Hứa
subsequently discovered
that by injecting plants
with salicylic acid,
a compound found in
the pain reliever aspirin
which helps them
naturally resist disease,
the plants were protected
and the insects
also not harmed.
His biological product,
called Enxin 4.5, has
in fact been shown to help
prevent 11 harmful insect
diseases in rice plants
and vegetables and
is already being
sought after in Bulgaria
following
successful trials there.
With Enxin 4.5 helping
save the rice fields of
many local farmers who
would otherwise have to
uproot entire paddies
to be rid of disease,
Âu Lạc's Science
and Technology and
Agriculture and Rural
Development Ministries
recently awarded
Mr. Hứa more than
US$200,000 to
expand its application.
Our sincere accolades,
Mr. Hứa Quyết Chiến,
for your careful work
in developing this safe
and practical method
to preserve
valued food crops.
May your endeavors
inspire many more
such benevolent products
that protect the lives
of other beings as well as
our own health.
