Boseong-gun Provides Timely Technical Support for Rice Pest and Disease Control

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yong-chul] The Agricultural Technology Center of Boseong County, Jeollanam-do announced on the 31st that it has designated the period from the 3rd to the 21st of next month, a total of 19 days, as the 'Basic Rice Pest and Disease Control' period and has started providing technical support for timely control.

During this period, the Technology Center will strengthen pest and disease monitoring in the agricultural field and provide guidance and instructions on the timing of control and the use of control agents to enable timely pest management.

An official from the Technology Center said, "Since the timing of pest control is the most important for pest and disease prevention, we plan to actively promote it through various channels such as village broadcasts and SNS to ensure farmers can carry out timely control."

In particular, this year, due to the warm winter, the appearance of invasive pests (pests flying in from abroad) and overwintering pests is occurring earlier, and the prolonged rainy season causes crops to grow excessively or weaken, requiring more thorough management.

During this 'Basic Rice Pest and Disease Control' period, the Boseong County Agricultural Technology Center plans to focus on controlling planthoppers, stink bugs, rice stem borers, rice blast, and leaf blight, and will assist in producing high-quality rice through pest and disease prevention.

An official from the Agricultural Technology Center stated, "We will strive for the stable production of high-quality rice by timely controlling major rice pests and diseases through cooperation with farmers and related organizations."
