ACCOUNTING WITH FURTHER FARMERS
Proper fertilization methods for ST25 rice plants help ensure healthy plants and high yields.
ST25 is a rice variety that many farmers are choosing to cultivate during the spring and autumn seasons. It has the ability to grow and develop healthily with high yield and quality. However, to ensure effective cultivation, proper fertilization of ST25 rice is essential. Viet Nga Fertilizer will provide detailed instructions in the article below for farmers to refer to and apply.
Learn about the ST25 rice variety.
ST25 rice, a famous fragrant and delicious rice variety from Vietnam, requires special cultivation techniques, especially fertilization. Proper NPK fertilization plays a crucial role in determining the yield and quality of this premium rice.
This article will provide detailed instructions on how to apply NPK fertilizer to ST25 rice, helping farmers achieve optimal results, especially when using high-quality fertilizer products such as Viet Nga Fertilizer.

1. Characteristics of ST25 Rice and Nutritional Requirements:
ST25 rice has a medium growth period and fairly good resistance to pests and diseases. This rice variety prefers nutrient-rich, loose, and well-drained soil. ST25 rice has relatively high nutritional requirements, especially for NPK. Providing sufficient nutrients with Viet Nga fertilizers will help the rice plant develop comprehensively.
- Nitrogen (N): Helps plants develop stems and leaves, increasing their photosynthetic capacity.
- Phosphorus (P): Promotes root development and increases nutrient absorption.
- Potassium (K): Enhances plant resistance, helping plants withstand pests, diseases, and adverse weather conditions, while also improving rice grain quality.
2. Dosage and method of applying NPK fertilizer to ST25 rice:
Dosage of NPK fertilizer for ST25 rice
The NPK fertilizer dosage for ST25 rice needs to be adjusted based on soil and weather conditions. Farmers can refer to the following recommended dosages (kg/ha) and combine them with suitable Viet Nga fertilizer products:
| Stage | Nitrogen (N) | Phosphorus (P) | Potassium (K) | Suggested products: Viet Nga Fertilizers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base fertilization | 40-50 | 40-50 | 30-40 | (Example: NPK Viet Nga 16-16-8+TE) |
| First top dressing (7-10 days after sowing/transplanting) | 50-60 | (Example: Vietnam-Russia Urea) | ||
| Second topdressing (heading stage) | 60-70 | 30-40 | 40-50 | (Example: Viet Nga NPK 20-20-15+TE) |
| Third top dressing (flowering stage) | 30-40 | (Example: Viet Nga Potassium) |
Techniques for Fertilizing ST25 Rice:
Basal Application (Before Planting):
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the field surface and then plow it under, or apply it directly to the planting holes when transplanting. For dry fields, apply the fertilizer deep to prevent loss due to evaporation. For wet fields, you can spread the fertilizer evenly on the field surface after thorough soil preparation.
Top-Dressing (During Active Growth):
Spread fertilizer evenly over the field when the soil is sufficiently moist, avoiding fertilization during intense sunlight or heavy rain. Fertilization can be combined with tilling and hilling. For topdressing, pay close attention to the fertilization technique according to each growth stage of the rice plant.
- Tillering stage: The first topdressing fertilizer application helps the rice plant tiller quickly and densely. It should be applied 10-15cm away from the base of the plant.
- Panicle formation stage: The second topdressing application helps the rice plant develop large, strong panicles, increasing the number of ears. It should be applied further away from the base of the plant compared to the tillering stage.
- Flowering stage: Apply the third topdressing fertilizer to help the grains become firmer, increasing yield and rice quality. Fertilizer can be applied as a foliar spray or directly to the roots.
