To prevent the harm of litchi stink bugs is the key now! The Council of Agriculture held a press conference today (12) to call on litchi stink bugs, which cause serious harm to litchi and longan, to prepare to lay eggs and to call on farmers to carry out regional integrated control. Before litchi and longan blossoms, habitual farmers can control them with chemicals. From the beginning of flowering in March, it is not suitable to apply pesticides to protect bees. Parasites can be parasitized by flat-bellied wasps, or eggs can be removed directly to reduce the hatching of litchi stink bugs. This year, the Council of Agriculture will release an army of 16.6 million flat-bellied wasps to comprehensively prevent the harm of litchi stink bugs.
