Jiujiang News Network News (Liao Haibing Gui Xunjun) On May 20, the pine forest around Meijing Village and Paradise Village in Nanyi Town, Ruichang City, from time to time heard the sound of "whistling" explosions, only to see the town rangers lighting the white zombie powder cannon under the guidance of technical personnel. The white zombie is airborne and attaches to the pine caterpillar, while producing white zombie, oosporine and calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause the pine caterpillar to die of poisoning. The release of white zombie powder cannon is an effective means of scientific control of pine caterpillars. A total of 600 white zombie powder cannons were released in Nanyi Town, and the prevention and control area was more than 2,000 mu.
Pine caterpillar is a leaf-eating pest that harms pine trees and is best controlled from May to June every year. In order to further promote the activity of "I do practical things for the masses" and strengthen the protection of forest resources, the Ruichang Forestry Bureau organized grass-roots forestry officers and forest rangers to carry out more than 150 training sessions in disaster prevention and control techniques, distributed more than 2,000 leaflets and a letter for disease and pest control, and continuously improved the pest prevention and control network through the forest chief system patrol platform, telephone, WeChat, etc., strengthened the disease and pest prevention and control mechanism of daily inspection by forest rangers, regular monitoring by forestry officers, and rapid response of forestry bureaus, and effectively improved the county, township, and forestry bureaus. Villages at all levels have the awareness of protecting the safety of forest resources and the ability to prevent and control disasters.
