Successes Made by Academy of Agricultural Science
Pyongyang, May 14 (KCNA) -- Officials and researchers of the Academy of Agricultural Science in the DPRK are directing efforts to the researches into solving the problems arising in doing farming in a scientific and technological way this year, true to the resolutions of the 6th and 7th plenary meetings of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

The academy took measures for attaining the goal of grain production and disseminated them across the country through the nationwide data communication network. It organized sci-tech lectures through video conferencing to give timely answers to the problems arising in each farming process.

Through the agricultural sci-tech service program "Golden Fruit" it disseminated various data to farms across the country.

Its officials and researchers went to different parts of the country to take timely measures for scientific and technological problems arising in the production of multi-nutrients for rice seedlings and slow-action granulated fertilizer.

Its scientists and technicians have made progress in establishing seed production technology conducive to increasing the per-hectare yield while minimizing the influence of the disastrous abnormal weather. They have developed seed-covering materials with high yield and drought resistance while preventing various diseases.

Its researchers are directing efforts to developing effective mixed herbicides for killing weeds in rice fields. They are focusing their efforts on developing a program for rapidly identifying the nutritional status of crops and correctly defining the time and quantity of fertilizers.

They are also developing, introducing and producing various accelerators and additives capable of hastening the harvest time and increasing the yield of crops.
