Recently, some citizens reported to this newspaper that with the arrival of hot summer, some fine-leaved figs in Duanzhou Urban Area often have black bugs falling down, which makes passers-by very worried. In this regard, the Duanzhou garden department responded quickly and sprayed with drugs to prevent diseases and insect pests.
It is understood that at present, it is a high temperature and rainy weather, which can easily cause serious and high incidence of disease and insect disasters, resulting in fine-leaved banyan trees causing gray and white silkworm moths, ficus perforated poisonous moths, fig tube thrips and other diseases and insect pests. Among them, the ficus transfiguration moth (commonly known as the poisonous caterpillar) will cause dermatitis after contact with human skin. Some citizens told reporters that they were worried that bugs on the trees would fall, hit the body, and cause itching or other symptoms after contact with human skin. Ms. Zhang, a citizen who walked by with her son, said that when her son was playing under the green trees in the community, he was bitten by insects that fell from the trees and caused itching, "I immediately took medicine to apply to him, so as not to cause other problems." ”
For the problems reflected by the citizens, the Duanzhou garden department attaches great importance to spraying the fine leaf fig near Duanzhou Third Road to prevent insect pests. Workers in the garden department told reporters that recently, some citizens reported that the green trees in this area have insects biting children and showing allergy symptoms, "After we received the report, we immediately sprayed the surrounding ficus ficus." Next, the garden department also sprayed drugs on green trees on Caiyun Road and Duanzhou Eighth Road.
Peng Zhaoyan, an engineer at the Duanzhou District Landscaping Management Center, revealed that the fine-leaved fig is widely distributed in the urban area, and in view of the high incidence of diseases and insect pests, the district garden center continues to spray pesticides on the street trees in the urban area, "We will make corresponding preparations in time according to the weather conditions, and use pesticides scientifically and rationally."
