Ninety-day Thai rice yields 151 baskets per acre

The trial cultivation of 90-day Thai rice in Taikkyi Township produced 151 baskets per acre, according to an official.
The 90-day Thai rice was cultivated in a nursery system in Yadana Hlwan Farm Agricultural and General Cooperative Society Member U Tin Aye’s farm last December, and it was carried out using a nursery and direct seeder system.
There are five agricultural cooperative societies in Taikkyi Township, and the Shwe May Cooperative Society has been cultivating Thai variety rice for 90 days. At the time of harvest, the yield was 151 baskets per acre.
The 90-day Thai rice type of trial planting with good yield takes 120 days from planting to harvesting, and the Taikkyi Township Cooperative Society has urged farmers it should be planted due to producing good yield.
Shwe May Cooperative Society will distribute seed bags for planting free of charge and offer financial support for cultivation before purchasing the produce. — TWA/TKO
