The crisis of army insects in autumn is on the rise! The adult of the autumn army worm, that is, the first generation of the autumn army worm that landed in Taiwan, has been found on the island of Taiwan, which has bred the second generation locally. The Council of Agriculture announced that from tomorrow (18), the prevention and control measures will officially enter the second stage: areas where insect pests occur will not be "burned" or "buried", but will be directly "sprayed" to kill insects. Chen Chun-ji, vice chairman of the Council of Agriculture, stressed that although the epidemic was dangerous, he called on farmers to "not take medicine without authorization out of panic. They must still find that the autumn army and insect pests have been notified before taking medicine." So as not to cause drug resistance and affect food safety.

In addition, considering that the autumn army insects may fly to Taiwan every year in the future, in the second stage, we will try our best to collect data on the local ecology, host plants and pesticide implementation effects of the autumn army insects, so as to accumulate effective epidemic prevention methods. in order to provide farmers with a complete set of epidemic prevention formula during the third stage of "independent management," so that farmers will be able to deal with pest problems.
