[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Recently, due to the hot and humid weather caused by heatwaves and localized heavy rains, the number of requests for analysis of pests and diseases in facility vegetables and fruit trees in the province has been increasing.

In response, the Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services announced on the 17th that they have completed the distribution of diagnostic kits capable of rapid diagnosis of major plant diseases to 18 cities and counties.

The simplified plant disease diagnostic kits consist of a total of 3 types (canker disease, damping-off disease, late blight), with about 900 kits that can be applied to major facility vegetables, fruit trees, peppers, tomatoes, and others by type.

While conventional bacterial disease diagnosis takes 4 to 6 days, using the diagnostic kits allows results to be measured within 15 minutes.

It is also expected to quickly resolve analysis requests on-site at farms, increasing farmer satisfaction and work efficiency.
