Facing the severe situation of garlic disease spread across the city since the beginning of winter, Cheng County made early arrangements and early deployments, promptly organizing the agriculture and animal husbandry department to go deep into the county's main garlic-producing areas to carry out investigations, conduct extensive publicity and technical guidance, and promptly apply chemical control to affected fields, so that the sudden garlic diseases were rapidly brought under control. Due to the excessive showers since early autumn, relatively high field humidity, temperatures higher than in previous years, years of continuous cropping of garlic fields in the riverbank areas, a large base of pathogen sources, and heavy application of nitrogen fertilizer in cultivation management and other factors, sudden diseases mainly including garlic gray mold, garlic purple blotch, and garlic leaf blight occurred commonly across the city's garlic-producing areas.

Due to the excessive showers since early autumn, relatively high field humidity, temperatures higher than in previous years, years of continuous cropping of garlic fields in the riverbank areas, a large base of pathogen sources, and heavy application of nitrogen fertilizer in cultivation management and other factors, sudden diseases mainly including garlic gray mold, garlic purple blotch, and garlic leaf blight occurred commonly across the city's garlic-producing areas. Facing the severe situation, the Cheng County Party Committee and government attached great importance to it. The leader in charge personally led a team deep into the county's main garlic-producing areas for investigation and study, convened a special on-site meeting, and made careful arrangements and deployments for further strengthening the prevention and control of sudden garlic diseases across the county. First, strengthen organizational leadership and solidify responsibilities. The county established a garlic disease prevention and control work leading group headed by the director of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, with the directors of the Agricultural Technology Center, Plant Protection Station, Vegetable Station, and Agricultural Technology Station as members, responsible for coordinating and supervising and inspecting the prevention and control work of each township. Second, effectively strengthen monitoring and forecasting. The county's agriculture and animal husbandry department regularly and promptly conducts field investigations and systematic fixed-point observations to provide a basis for prevention and control work. Third, do a good job in pesticide trials and technical publicity and training. The county's agricultural technology department has taken on the work of pesticide trials for disease prevention and control and screening high-efficiency pesticide varieties, and promptly helps farmers carry out garlic disease prevention and control. Technical cadres in each township go deep into villages and communities, using meetings, radio, wall newspapers, special columns, and other forms to carry out extensive publicity and technical training, fully making garlic prevention and control work known to every household and every person.
