In the face of the "cancer" known as pine trees - the ravages of pine wood nematode disease, the Urban Construction Bureau of Gan District took the lead in completing the treatment of pine wood nematode disease in state-owned mountain forests. As of a few days ago, a total of more than 38,000 trees infected with pine wood nematode disease in state-owned mountain forests have been completed, covering an area of 5,136 mu.

Pine wood nematode disease is a dangerous, devastating forest disease, transmitted by pine brown tianniu. Once a pine tree is infected with the disease, it will die in about 40 days, which is called the "cancer" of the pine tree. Effectively strengthening the prevention and control of pine wood nematode disease is conducive to protecting forest resources and maintaining ecological balance.

The Urban Construction Bureau attaches great importance to the prevention and control of pine wood nematode disease, clarifies responsibilities, refines the division of labor, strictly implements the prevention and control tasks, and earnestly grasps the eradication work. An inspection team was set up to supervise and supervise the whole process of removing and cleaning up the diseased wood, and in view of the problems found in the inspection, the first time issued a rectification letter to ensure the orderly development of prevention and control work.

Strengthen the supervision and management of diseased wood, all the diseased wood that has been cut down is strictly eliminated in accordance with technical regulations, and special personnel are assigned to escort them to the processing enterprises of diseased wood for safe treatment and utilization of diseased wood to ensure that the diseased wood is not lost. The removal and transportation of diseased wood adopts a variety of methods such as centralized cleaning, horse consignment and mechanical equipment shipment, which greatly improves the cleaning and transportation capacity of diseased wood.

Strengthen the management of on-site operators, strictly prohibit the carrying of fire seeds up the mountain, and improve fire prevention awareness. The monitoring and investigation of pine wood nematode disease prevention and control are combined with the fire prevention work of forest protection, taking into account the prevention and control of mountain forest fire and pine wood nematode disease, highlighting the inspection of key areas, and building a safety "firewall" for the operation area.
