[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do has designated the period from June 1 to August 31 as the intensive forest pest control period and will operate a countermeasure headquarters.


The Forest Pest Monitoring and Control Countermeasure Headquarters will be operated to respond early to emergency forest pest outbreaks, prevent their spread, and maximize control effectiveness.


In addition, for pests and diseases occurring simultaneously in agricultural and forest areas, joint responses will be made with the relevant cities and counties and agricultural departments using wintering egg survey results and hatching time prediction data.


In particular, a cooperative system will be established with related organizations for the early detection and rapid control of forest pests that cause damage to forests and crops.



Kang Myeonghyo, Director of the Forest Policy Division of Gyeongsangnam-do, said, "During the intensive forest pest outbreak period, we will do our best to minimize damage by promoting monitoring and control centered on the countermeasure headquarters," and urged, "If you suspect damage such as dying trees or sudden pest outbreaks nearby, please report to the nearest forest department."
