[Korea Agricultural and Fishery Newspaper, Reporter Kang Jae-nam] The Western Agricultural Technology Center of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Agricultural Technology Institute (Director Kang Byeong-su) urged farmers to disinfect soil and use high-quality seed garlic as the garlic planting season approaches in Jeju.

With recent abnormal climate conditions causing winter temperatures to rise, there are concerns about pest and disease damage if early planting occurs without proper soil management, requiring caution.
