    Mr. Trieu Kim Do - representative of Ho Quang Tri Private Enterprise - a famous ST25 rice producer, said: "We rely on the sowing date to calculate the time to remove mixed weeds. Normally, the first removal of mixed weeds will be carried out 18-20 days after sowing, the second removal will be carried out when the rice is 65-70 days old, and the last removal will be about 2 weeks before harvest. During the growth process, ST25 rice must undergo 3-4 strict screenings like this."

    Mr. Tran Huyen, who has been working in rice weed removal for more than 10 years, shared: "At first, I was confused, but now I can tell which plants need to be removed. If we have a team of 10 people, we can remove 7-8 hectares of rice per day."

    In Dai Tam commune (My Xuyen district, Soc Trang province), each year there are about 100 hectares specializing in growing certified ST24 and ST25 rice varieties. Farmers here apply the method of sowing seedlings and mechanical transplanting, helping to reduce the amount of seeds sown, limit pests and reduce production costs. The entire area is contracted by the enterprise at a price 1,000 to 1,500 VND/kg higher than the market price, creating motivation for farmers to feel secure in production.
