Hampyeong-gun Conducts Strawberry Pest and Disease Management Training

Smart Farm-Linked Greenhouse Environmental Data-Based Pest and Disease Management Technology

On the 23rd, Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 25th that it conducted training on smart farm technology and pest management using natural enemies for strawberry farmers at the Hampyeong-gun Agricultural Technology Center.

This training focused on pest management of strawberries using natural enemy insects, methods for predicting and diagnosing pest outbreaks using greenhouse environmental data, and pest management techniques for the early stages of strawberry planting in the field.

Additionally, the county urged farmers to exercise careful management as recent high temperatures and frequent rainfall could cause damage to strawberry nurseries due to anthracnose and wilt disease outbreaks.

County Governor Sang-ik Lee stated, “Along with various facility investment projects to establish a foundation for producing premium strawberries in Hampyeong-gun, we will continue to promote education to enhance pest management and strawberry cultivation technology capabilities.”

Meanwhile, currently, out of 60 strawberry farms in Hampyeong-gun, 23 farms are using smart farm technology, and this year, Hampyeong-gun was selected as the regional smart farm support center by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, accelerating technical support for farms.
