The Taitung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station (TTDARES) held its “Smart Fertilization and Disease/Pest Control for Rice Lecture and Forum” on March 31 in the second floor classroom of the Chishang Township Farmer’s Association Supermarket to enhance healthy crop management and disease/pest control techniques. During production, disease and pests not only affect quality, they also decrease yield. When carrying out prevention, besides the use of chemical agents, organic measures that correspond to the time of production and climate should also be considered. By taking immediate measures to prevent damage when it is likely to occur, growers may achieve twice the benefits with half the work. With the approach of Tomb Sweeping Day, traditional Chinese adages come to mind that speak of the seasonal drizzly rain and the significant and unstable fluctuation between hot and cold weather. It is at this time that disease is very likely to strike rice crops. Fertilization and disease control are closely linked; nitrogen fertilizer is especially known to influence rice blast. The event focused on fertilization and disease/pest management so as to provide growers with a complete understanding of these topics.
