(Suwon=Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Hae-min = The Gyeonggi Institute of Agricultural Technology (GIAT) urged on the 7th that early control of vector insects such as aphids and tobacco whiteflies is necessary due to the spread of cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus in crops like watermelon, cucumber, and melon. According to a survey conducted by GIAT over the past three years in nine major melon cultivation areas in Pyeongtaek, Yongin, and Yangpyeong, the incidence rate of cucurbit aphid-borne yellow stunting disorder virus was 78% in 2022, 80% in 2023, and 78% in 2024, averaging 78%. Crops infected with the yellow stunting disorder virus exhibit yellowing leaves and stunted growth, significantly reducing the quality of the fruit. Since there is no cure and it is easy to mistake the physiological disorder at the beginning of cultivation, farmers may suffer significant losses at harvest time. GIAT urged early control of vector insects by installing insect nets and sticky traps on entrance doors and side windows to reduce damage from the yellow stunting disorder virus. Park Jung-soo, head of the Environmental Agriculture Research Division at GIAT, said, "It is most important to thoroughly control vector insects from the beginning to prevent yellow stunting disorder virus" and "If there are suspected symptoms or if an accurate diagnosis is needed, please consult the 'Cyber Plant Hospital' operated by Gyeonggi Province for accurate diagnosis and management methods."

Nepal's exports grew by 72.71% in the 10 months of the current fiscal year to mid-May, reaching USD 1.55 billion (NPR 217.91 billion), largely due to re-exports of soybean, sunflower and palm oils, which the country imports because its own production does not even cover domestic demand. Excluding oils, exports amounted to USD 0.91 billion,

Researcher Wang Xiqing, on behalf of the Heilongjiang Province Xi Sweet Melon Modern Agricultural Industry Technology Collaborative Innovation Promotion System and the Harbin Comprehensive Experimental Station of the National Xi Sweet Melon Industry Technology System, congratulated the conference on its opening. He stated: Langang has always been the "experimental field" for scientific and technological innovation and the "main battlefield" for result promotion in the national and provincial Xi sweet melon systems. Since 2009, Langang has been a demonstration base of the national industry system experimental station. Over the past 10 years, the watermelon industry and scientific research work of the system in Langang have been mutually reinforcing, resonating at the same frequency, and promoting each other. The Xi sweet melon system has promoted early spring resistant and disease-resistant varieties and green, efficient, and simplified cultivation techniques here, which can be ...
