On the morning of May 22, a reader in Qibin District reported to this newspaper that the section from Qihe Road to Liyang Road on National Highway 107 was seriously infested by the trees on the east side of the road, and the leaves on the trees were almost eaten by insects. ”
Subsequently, the reporter rushed to the section of National Highway 107 qihe road to Liyang Road and saw that the national locust on the east side of the road had almost no leaves, and there were many insects hanging down the silk on the trees.
The reporter consulted the Qibin District Garden bureau on this, and the chief of the Bureau' Li Section told the reporter that this insect is called a ruler worm (huò), and the inchworm mainly endangers the national locust and the dragon melon locust, and also eats the locust when there is insufficient food, and the amount of food of this insect is very large. Without careful observation or timely prevention, the inchworm will eat the leaves of the whole tree within 1 to 2 days, and then sag and use the wind to transfer to other trees for harm, which is extremely harmful to the trees.
When the reporter asked when the pests would be treated, Li Said that the road section does not belong to the management of the Qibin District Garden Bureau, but belongs to the Municipal Highway Bureau, "Qibin Avenue, Yellow River Road and other sections with national locusts in Qibin District, we have already taken medicine and are preparing for the second round of prevention and control." ”
The chief of the Lu section of the Municipal Highway Bureau told reporters that they only managed the green belt on both sides of the road and the main road, and the national locust in this section of the road was not under their management.
The reporter later interviewed the Municipal Forestry Bureau, and the relevant person in charge of the bureau said that these trees are not under the jurisdiction of the forestry department.
Seeing that the trees and insects were not treated, many citizens also followed the anxiety, "You don't care, he doesn't care, the national locust on the road has worms, who should take care of it?" ”
