Hongseong County Agricultural Technology Center

The Hongseong-gun Agricultural Technology Center in Chungnam announced that it will be accepting applications for pest control agent support until the 28th, in order to prevent fire blight and sudden pest outbreaks that cause significant damage to fruit farms every year.

Fire blight, designated as a national quarantine pest, is a highly contagious disease that causes symptoms resembling burns on the leaves and stems of apple and pear trees. Since there is no effective treatment, prevention is of utmost importance.

In particular, sudden pests such as Metcalfa pruinosa, Lycorma delicatula, Halyomorpha halys, and Lymantria dispar have caused significant damage to fruit trees, especially in recent years when abnormal high temperatures have become frequent.

Applications are open for apple and pear trees for fire blight, and for apple, pear, jujube, and blueberry trees for sudden pests. To apply, visit the Specialized Crop Development Team at the Hongseong-gun Agricultural Technology Center with the application form and agricultural business registration certificate, or submit them by fax or email.

The Hongseong-gun Agricultural Technology Center stated, "Due to frequent changes such as business transfers, we plan to complete the investigation as soon as possible and quickly distribute the agents," and requested the active cooperation of fruit farmers so that the agents can be supplied swiftly to minimize damage.
