Hampyeong-gun Conducts On-Site Inspection of Flood Damage in Nonkong Cultivation Areas

Request to Spray Nutritional Supplements and Applicable Pesticides to Minimize Damage

Hampyeong County conducted an on-site inspection of the flooded field pea cultivation areas to prepare countermeasures against flood damage.

According to the county on the 24th, on the 19th and 21st, Lee Sang-ik, the mayor of Hampyeong County, and Park Hong-jae, director of the Jeonnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services, visited the field pea cultivation sites to listen to the damage status and difficulties caused by the heavy rain.

This field visit was carried out to check the sites and seek solutions as most of the field pea cultivation areas were flooded and suffered from moisture damage due to continuous rainfall, resulting in poor growth and an increase in diseases and pests such as root rot.

At the site, Mayor Lee urged the application of nutrients and pesticides for pest and disease control to minimize damage and devised countermeasures against the heavy rain damage.

Additionally, future damage prevention plans, including drainage improvement projects for the safe cultivation of field peas, were also discussed.

Mayor Lee Sang-ik said, “Through this on-site inspection, we have closely identified the damage situation,” and added, “We will make every effort to strengthen on-site support and prepare thorough measures for damage prevention and countermeasures.”
