Measures taken to introduce advanced farming methods
The Rural Economy Committee of South Phyongan Province has set the period of distribution of varieties and sowing according to the climatic conditions of the flat areas and the intermediary and mountainous areas and the characteristics of crops and is promoting the work for manuring and cultivating them in a scientific and technological way.
Mulching by biodegradable paper is introduced into many areas to increase the unit-area yield of dry crops and measures are taken to cope with changing climate.
The Phyongwon County and Anju City agricultural management committees are providing a sci-tech guarantee for ensuring the growing period of the preceding and alternate crops and boosting the grain output on the low-yielding soils including salt damage areas.
Other city and county agricultural guidance organs are also introducing advanced farming methods such as the organic one including the paddy-field fish breeding.
