The results of deep magnetotelluric sounding for studying the Nha Trang - Tanh Linh fault

The profile of deep magnetotelluric sounding (MT) from Duc Trong - Tuy Phong has been carried out in Lam Dong and Binh Thuan  provinces. The length of the Duc Trong - Tuy Phong profile is about 80 km with 15 stations and the distance between the stations measures about 5 km. Two-dimensional MT inversion was used to find a resistivity model that fits the data. The 2D resistivity model allows determining position and development formation of the Nha Trang - Tanh Linh  fault. This is the deep fault, which is showed by the boundaries of remarkable change of resistivity. In the near surface of the Earth (from ground to the depth of 6 km), the angle of inclination of this fault is about 60o; in the next part, the direction of the Nha Trang - Tanh Linh  faut is vertical. Geoelectrical section of the Nha Trang - Tanh Linh  profile shows that the resistivity of mid-crust is higher than that of lower-crust and of upper-crust

Selection and testing result of KT1 potato variety for fresh consumption and food processing in Northern provinces.

Potato variety KT1 was selected from 27 introduced potato varieties from CIP in 2005. It had medium growth duration of 85 - 90 days. The average stem height of KT1 is about 60 - 70 cm, number of tubers/plant is from 6 - 10 tubers, yield from 20 - 25 tons/ha. KT1 potato variety is resistant to viral diseases, heat tolerant, slightly infected with late blight and main pests (aphids, mites, thrips) with light level. It’s tubers are of oval shape, shallow nodes, yellow tuber shell and pulp, high dry matter content of 21 - 23%; starch content from 14 - 17%, sugar-reduced content < 0.22% suitable for fresh consumption and food processing
