Gangwon-do province is facing a severe agricultural crisis due to the first detection of the tropical spider moth larva and the spread of pine wilt nematode disease in the region. The tropical spider moth, an unwelcome invasion from China, has damaged corn and other crops, threatening the normal harvest. In response, emergency control measures have been implemented, and farmers are being provided with standing hydration. Meanwhile, the pine wilt disease, also known as 'pine AIDS,' has escalated, affecting over 7,700 trees and spreading to new areas. Authorities are planning to conduct emergency control measures, including investigations, surveillance, and tree cutting, but concerns about further spread remain high. Residents are urged to report any finding of dead pine trees to the local forestry department.
