CCTV news: On March 5, the 24 solar terms were stinged. The stings woke up and the weather warmed up. At the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council on the same day, Pan Wenbo, director of the Department of PlantAtion Management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, answered a reporter's question and introduced the current situation of the prevention and control of two kinds of insects that have recently received great attention in China. "This bug is really different from that bug!" Pan Wenbo's analysis compared the desert locust and the grassland night moth.
Experts believe that the chances of desert locusts migrating and flying in our country are very small. Desert locust has a history of hundreds of years, mainly distributed in the valleys and oases of tropical desert areas of Africa and southwest Asia, it prefers high temperatures, drought tolerance, and the suitable temperature for migration is about 40 degrees. There are Kunlun Mountains and Himalayas in the southwest border area of China, which are blocked by natural barriers, desert locusts are difficult to move in across high-altitude mountains, and the ecological environment and climate in cold areas are not suitable for the survival of desert locusts.
Experts also believe that even if the desert locust moves into Our country, it will have the ability to deal with it. China has a history of controlling locusts for thousands of years, and the locust plague in china is mainly east Asian flying locust and Asian flying locust, which belong to different biological species and have very different living conditions, but the prevention and control methods are similar. After years of efforts, the incidence of locust plagues in China has been significantly reduced, and rich experience in locust control has been accumulated. At present, China has a sound monitoring system, a mature emergency response mechanism and a strong professional prevention and control team. Moreover, the reserves of anti-locust drugs and equipment are relatively sufficient, and even if the desert locusts move in, they can be prevented and controlled in a timely and effective manner.
Pan Wenbo also said that although the probability of desert locusts migrating and invading China is very small, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will also firmly establish a sense of risk, closely monitor, strictly guard against death, actively assist foreign countries, and respond scientifically, so as to minimize the harm risk of desert locust invasion, so as to be foolproof and prepared.
