Imsil-gun Accepts Applications for 'Seedling Box Treatment Agent' Until the 11th of Next Month

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 25th that it is accepting applications for seedling box treatment agents from rice farmers until the 11th of next month to maximize pest control efficiency through early pest management.

The rice safe production pre-control support project is a program that supports seedling box treatment agents by investing 800 million KRW (40% subsidy) in a rice cultivation area of 4,000 hectares for rice farmers residing in the county.

Applicants can select their desired agent from a total of 12 pesticides and apply at each eup/myeon office.

The seedling box treatment agent is a pesticide applied to the seedling box before or on the day of transplanting.

It can comprehensively control major pests and diseases such as rice water weevil, green rice leafhopper, rice stem borer, bacterial leaf blight, and rice blast in advance, and its long-lasting efficacy greatly contributes to reducing labor and production costs.

A county official said, “Through the box treatment agent before transplanting, we plan to prevent pests and diseases occurring until mid-July and conduct two joint field pest controls in July and August to support rice farmers in safely cultivating their crops.”

He added, “We ask that all rice farmers in the county apply without omission within the pesticide application deadline.”
