Haman-gun Provides Free Seedling Treatment for Rice Seedlings

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongnam Hamangun announced on the 11th that it will provide rice seedling treatment agents free of charge in preparation for the full-scale farming season.

The seedling treatment agent is a pesticide that can prevent various pests and diseases such as planthoppers and rice leaf blast, which are difficult to control in the main field, as well as rice blast, leaf spot blight, and rice water weevil.

The supply of seedling treatment agents is a measure to prevent new sudden pests and foreign pests caused by recent climate warming, as well as low-temperature pests after rice transplanting.

The county plans to invest 550 million won in the project to supply a total of 74,076 bags of rice seedling treatment agents free of charge to rice farming households.

An official from the Hamangun Agricultural Technology Center said, "Through support for rice seedling treatment agents, we will strive to contribute to the production of high-quality rice by improving pest control efficiency and reducing rural labor."

Meanwhile, the county plans to establish a comprehensive pest control system for rice and conduct aerial pest control using unmanned helicopters and drones during the peak pest occurrence period from July to September.
