In Shandong, there are many experts in the prevention and control of forest diseases and pests. However, there are very few experts who can read a wide range of fields, such as forests, fruit trees, flowers, birds, and ancient trees. Wang Haiming, chief expert and second-level researcher of the Heze Forestry Bureau, is one of them.
"There is a forest in the plain, and the forest is a granary" is a vivid portrayal of Heze forestry. Heze is one of the first batch of plain greening areas in China, the capital of peony in China, the capital of wood art in China, and one of the largest production, processing and export bases of forest products in China. Heze is a model of forestry in the Shandong Plain.
Wang Haiming, 59 years old, has been in the forestry industry for 38 years, like a tireless woodpecker. He braved the severe cold and scorching heat, and fought on the front line of forestry pest control, wetland protection, and wildlife protection all year round. At the same time, he devoted himself to the promotion of science and technology and science popularization, focused on the urgent and difficult problems of the masses, took science and technology as the pen and affection as the ink, wrote the results of the paper on the great plain of southwest Shandong, and contributed wisdom and strength to the high-quality development of forestry in Heze.
Watch, hear, ask and touch (a method of diagnosis)
Diagnosis and treatment of forest fruit and flower pests and diseases
In order to promote the development of the forest fruit and flower industry, Wang Haiming often takes advantage of weekends and holidays to get up early and stay late, bring water, food, cameras and investigation tools, wear straw hats, drill into the woods, squat in the corners, find the source of insects, collect specimens, investigate the occurrence of pests and diseases, grasp first-hand information, and provide scientific basis for leadership decision-making. He actively promoted advanced control technology, and guided forest farmers, fruit farmers, and flower farmers to carry out prevention and control in a targeted manner. He actively carried out the research and application of biological disasters such as the American white moth, spring inchworm, fruit tree diseases and insect pests, and planned and implemented aircraft prevention and control and various ground prevention and control, achieved good results, and consolidated the results of greening and ecological security.
teach tirelessly
Patiently teach prevention and control techniques
Wang Haiming insisted on sending science and technology to the countryside all year round, going into the fields, flower beds, orchards, and greenhouses, and teaching prevention and control techniques to the masses face-to-face. Hou Laohan, a 78-year-old fruit farmer, planted several pomegranate trees, but unexpectedly suffered from pests and diseases. On October 11, 2023, he came to the Heze Forestry Bureau to consult on prevention and control methods. Because the old man was old and deaf, Wang Haiming took the trouble to explain to him over and over again, and finally wrote down the prevention and control methods on paper and handed them to the old man. The old man couldn't take the elevator, so Wang Haiming took the elevator to send him downstairs. When Wang Haiming returned to the office, the old man came back again. Wang Haiming patiently and meticulously answered for him and sent him downstairs. After sending it back and forth 4 times, I finally answered the old man's question thoroughly. The story of his "four pomegranate fruit farmers" has spread far and wide, and it has become a good story in the unit, and everyone says that he is a soil expert who is convinced by farmers.
Build an ambulance center
Won the "Subaru Ecological Conservation Award" for the first time
With the improvement of people's awareness of bird love and bird protection, Wang Haiming often receives calls to rescue birds. He discussed with his colleagues and prepared for the establishment of the Heze Wildlife Conservation Association and the Heze Rare Wildlife Rescue Center, taking the lead in bringing the city's wildlife protection work to the track of standardized management.
Wang Haiming presided over the completion of the city's terrestrial wildlife resources survey, vigorously popularized protection knowledge, and severely cracked down on illegal activities of indiscriminate hunting. He has participated in the investigation and handling of more than 80 cases of illegal hunting such as the killing of weasels, frogs, and birds, confiscated and sealed a large number of hunting tools and ammunition such as platoons and earthen cannons, destroyed the earthen factories that manufacture earthen guns and ammunition, carried out propaganda and education from house to house, and exposed criminal acts in a timely manner, effectively deterring illegal and criminal acts, and greatly curbing the behavior of indiscriminate hunting and illegal purchase of birds and other wild animals.
He actively organized the rescue of more than 200 rare birds and animals such as white storks, whooper swans, gray cranes, vultures, and leopard cats, and organized the release or transfer to the park in a timely manner. At the same time, he organized the release of more than 120,000 frogs and more than 50,000 birds, effectively protecting the wildlife resources of Heze City, and he himself became one of the advanced individuals in Shandong Province who won the "Subaru Ecological Conservation Award" for the first time.
He organized and implemented wetland protection and restoration projects, wetland ecosystems and wildlife resources have been more effectively protected, wetland ecosystem functions have been continuously strengthened, and biological species resources have become increasingly abundant. Hundreds of thousands of birds appear in the wetlands of the Yellow River beach area in November every year, and the vast Heze Great Plain presents a gratifying scene of birds singing and greening.
Hammer away at
Bravely climb the commanding heights of Senbao technology
Wang Haiming has always insisted on promoting while researching, and through in-depth forest investigation and research, he discovered for the first time the newly recorded diseases in China, such as the bacterial canker disease of Populus euphratica and the newly recorded pest species in Shandong Province.
Poplar bacterial canker disease is a devastating biological disaster newly discovered in recent years, and early detection of the disease is necessary for scientific prevention and control of the disease. He formed a joint research team with experts and professors from Shandong Agricultural University, and after 7 years of scientific research, he found the occurrence law of the disease. Through the establishment of disease loss estimation model, the fast, simple and sensitive LAMP and ELISA detection technology suitable for the field was developed, and the comprehensive prevention and control technology system such as the selection of disease-resistant tree species, the construction of planting mode and the spraying of bio-derived pesticides was integrated, and the early detection of diseases and disaster loss assessment were boldly innovated, and the results reached the international advanced level.
Over the years, he has completed 30 scientific research achievements, including 1 international advanced level, 12 domestic leading level, and won 4 third prizes of Shandong Science and Technology Progress Award. He has published more than 40 papers in scientific and technological journals at or above the provincial level, including 7 international journals and 24 national journals.
