The Gia Lai Provincial Agricultural Extension Center held training for commune-level agricultural extension staff, extension collaborators and community extension groups in the western part of the province. The training covered sustainable durian cultivation and food safety, aiming to help participants understand suitable growing conditions, common varieties, and techniques for planting, care, and pest and disease control.
Lê Thị Thu Thảo, a staff member at the center, said cultivation practices should be coordinated in line with soil, climate and production methods. Before planting, growers should select land with deep soil and good drainage, check the quality of the soil and irrigation water, and use seedlings with a clear origin that meet nursery release standards. RI6 and DONA are currently the two main varieties, with DONA relatively common in the Central Highlands.
She also advised adjusting irrigation according to the growth stage, soil moisture and weather, particularly avoiding excess water during flowering because it can affect flowering and fruit set. Fertilization should reflect the plants’ needs, excessive use of chemical fertilizers should be avoided, and fertilizers containing chlorine should not be used. During flowering and fruiting, growers should manage new shoots and carry out supplemental pollination, flower thinning and fruit thinning according to the trees’ condition.
