According to Quang Tri Plant and Plant Protection Department, up to now, the prolonged cold rain has caused hundreds of hectares of pepper in the area to be flooded and epidemic, dead.
Pepper trees in Quang Tri are infected with many types of root rot, leaf yellowing, and then die.
The situation is still very complicated and there is a risk of a sharp increase in the coming time … Mr. Truong Quang Thang, Co My village, Vinh Giang commune (Vinh Linh – Quang Tri), points to his pepper garden which is very sad: “My family has 4 pepper poles but now almost every garden is sick, the heaviest is this garden. The whole garden has 110 pepper roots now nearly dead. The disease occurred very quickly within about 10 days, the leaves appeared yellowing, withered and then died. Many other pepper growing households also fall into the same situation. Due to the rapid evolution of the disease, people have not been able to keep up their hands. Besides, the continuous cold and rainy weather made the disease spread rapidly and spread widely.
According to the People's Committee of Vinh Giang commune, there are about 50 ha of pepper affected in the area. Mr. Le Vy, Vice Chairman of Vinh Giang Commune People's Committee said, after the storms No. 4, 10, 12 and especially the last cold spell, the situation of death and death in the commune is very large. In particular, in some households, 100% of the dead pepper trees are newly planted, gardens with high groundwater aquifers that cannot escape.
According to the report of Quang Tri Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, there have been 300 ha of pepper flooded causing root rot, deciduous and dead trees; more than 223 hectares of the disease died quickly, of which 23.5 hectares were seriously ill and 282 hectares of pepper died slowly. … mainly concentrated in districts of Gio Linh, Vinh Linh and Cam Lo with severely affected communes such as Vinh Giang , Vĩnh Thạch, Vĩnh Thành …
According to Ms. Nguyen Hong Phuong, Director of Quang Tri Plantation and Plant Protection Department, the biggest limitation of Quang Tri farmers is still using the method of growing “negative” pepper on the ground. In addition, clearing households, ditches and drainage systems in pepper gardens has not paid much attention to households. Most of the pepper areas when heavy rains and floods occur do not drain water, this is the cause of disease outbreaks.
