Seed Film Cultivation is Sustainable, Efficient, and Eco-friendly Rice Production for a Healthier Planet.
seed film cultivation
Rice cultivation plays a vital role in global food security, but traditional farming practices often have negative environmental and social impacts. In addition, rice cultivation as currently practiced makes only certain specific geographic and climatic regions suited towards high yield production. Công Thành Út Hạnh’s proprietary Seed Film Cultivation (SFC) technology is engineered to simultaneously reduce the environmental effects of rice cultivation while making it possible to successfully grow high yield and top quality rice anywhere in the world.

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need for more sustainable and environmentally friendly farming techniques in rice production. Implementing farming approaches prioritize the long-term health of ecosystems, the well-being of farmers, and the conservation of natural resources. Công Thành Út Hạnh’s exclusive Seed Film Cultivation (SFC) technology immediately makes rice cultivation more environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable.
90% Reduced Water Use
Công Thành Út Hạnh’s Seed Film Cultivation (SFC) technology minimizes environmental impacts by reducing water usage in rice farming. This conservation of water resources benefits the environment by lowering irrigation needs, easing pressure on local water sources, and promoting sustainability. Additionally, reduced water usage in rice fields limits methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. Thus, adopting water-efficient practices in rice cultivation supports water conservation and fosters more sustainable agriculture.
70% Lower Methane Emissions
Reducing methane emissions from rice cultivation offers significant environmental benefits. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, contributes to climate change. Traditional rice farming, with continuous flooding, creates an oxygen-poor environment that releases methane. Using Công Thành Út Hạnh’s Seed Film Cultivation (SFC) technology can cut methane emissions by up to 70%. This makes rice farming more eco-friendly, aiding in climate change mitigation and supporting global efforts to reduce greenhouse gasses.
Less Herbicides, Pesticides & Fertilizer
Reducing herbicide, pesticide, and fertilizer use in rice cultivation provides major environmental benefits. Extensive use of these chemicals can harm ecosystems by reducing beneficial insect populations, contaminating water, and disrupting biodiversity. Công Thành Út Hạnh’s Seed Film Cultivation (SFC) technology reduces the need for such inputs, minimizing nutrient runoff and the release of nitrogen compounds like nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas. This technology helps preserve natural ecosystems, protect water quality, support beneficial insects, and lessen the environmental impact of chemical use.
The result: A Smaller Carbon Footprint
Reducing the carbon footprint in rice cultivation offers significant environmental benefits. Rice farming emits greenhouse gases, especially methane from flooded fields and carbon dioxide from farming activities. Công Thành Út Hạnh’s Seed Film Cultivation (SFC) technology, a climate-smart practice, minimizes these emissions. By lowering the carbon footprint, we can mitigate climate change, improve air quality, and support a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system.
the technology
Various benefits arise from implementing Công Thành Út Hạnh’s Seed Film Cultivation technology in rice cultivation, including improved soil health, reduced water usage, enhanced biodiversity conservation, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increased resilience to climate change. These advantages highlight how Công Thành Út Hạnh directly addresses the urgent need for a shift towards sustainable rice farming practices to ensure a sustainable future for both farmers and the planet, while meeting the increased demand for rice as a food security staple.
Conventional Sowing Methods
Rice cultivation typically uses direct sowing or seedling transplantation. Direct sowing involves planting seeds directly, leading to low establishment rates and poor weed control. Seedling transplantation improves weed competition and establishment rates but is labour-intensive. Both methods are vulnerable to drought and flooding, causing significant fertilizer loss and high nitrous oxide emissions.
New Seed Attacher
Our method involves using a seed attacher to attach seeds to a biodegradable film, which is spread on dry fields using a mulch layer and covered with soil. The seed attacher can attach seeds precisely, producing 10 hectares per day and 300 hectares per month. A thin layer of eco-friendly adhesive is applied to the film for precise seed placement with adjustability for the number of seeds and planting distance.
Germination
Germination gaps are also created thinly on both sides of the adhesive. The Seed Film Cultivation can be adjusted for various crops, stored for over a year, and transported easily.
Mulching
Autonomous tractors are used for precise mulching. Fertilizer and germination water can be applied under the film, optimizing efficiency. By overlapping the seed film accurately, weed growth is suppressed. When mulching the seed film, fertilizer and germination water can be applied under the film.
Watering
Apply slow-release fertilizer once. Use rainwater or sprinkler irrigation. The underside of the SFC creates a warm, moist, nutrient-rich greenhouse-like environment for seed germination. The seed film controls weeds and maintains high nighttime temperatures at the crop growth point, shortening the growth period.
Fertilizing
The seed film prevents rain-induced fertilizer loss and suppresses nitrogen volatilization, boosting fertilizer efficiency and cutting nitrous oxide emissions. Seed Film Cultivation creates a warm, moist environment during germination, shortening the growth period and automates tasks like sowing, transplanting, weeding, and fertilization, saving water, mitigating greenhouse gases, and cutting labour costs.
