Seed-Processing Agent "Kirim 2"
Pyongyang, March 31 (KCNA) -- New seed-processing agent "Kirim 2" is well received by the agricultural sector of the DPRK for raising the germination rate of seeds in low temperature, preventing seedlings from getting various diseases even in basic soil and improving their early nutritive conditions.

As it has strong penetration and bacteriostasis against pathogenic fungi, it has good effects of bringing earlier the germination of seeds and building up the resistance of seedlings on nursery bed to damage by diseases and insects.

It also helps young crops overcome damages by frost, drought and over moisture.

It was proved highly effective through trials taken at greenhouses of the Jangchon Vegetable Cooperative Farm in Sadong District, Pyongyang in the middle of February.

Now, the farm has made preparations for introducing the agent into processing vegetable and rice seeds.

True to the intention of the Workers' Party of Korea on applying agricultural sci-tech achievements to production, the introduction of the agent gains momentum in many farms across the country, including Hwasan Cooperative Farm in Sinchon County, South Hwanghae Province, Yanggok Cooperative Farm in Ryonggang County and Songhyon Cooperative Farm in Onchon County, Nampho City and Tongsam Cooperative Farm in Unjon County, North Phyongan Province.
