AGRIKULTURA - Pangunahing Batayang Ekonomiya ng Washington


Ang Departamento ng Agrikultura ng Estado ng Washington ay naglilingkod sa estado nang higit sa 100 taon. Sa pamamagitan ng serbisyo, regulasyon, at pagtutol, pinapanatili namin ang agrikultura na buhay at mahalaga sa Washington State, habang pinoprotektahan namin ang mga mamimili, kalusugan ng publiko, at kapaligiran. Nagtatrabaho kami nang malawakan kasama ang mga magsasaka at manggagamot ng hayop, ngunit ang aming responsibilidad – mula sa pagtiyak ng kaligtasan ng pagkain hanggang sa proteksyon ng kapaligiran – nakaaapekto sa buhay ng milyun-milyong tao dito sa lokal na antas, pambansa, at internasyonal. Pahina ng Pagtatrabaho.

Ang Hukay Proteksyon Division sumusuporta sa industriya ng agrikultura at pinoprotektahan ang kapaligiran at mga mamimili sa pamamagitan ng pagprotekta laban sa mga insekto, damo, at patogen na nakakasira sa agrikultura at kapaligiran, pagsuporta sa kalusugan ng pollinator at lupa, at pagsusuri para sa tamang timbang at sukatan, pati na rin ang paggamit ng pestisidyo.

Ang Programa Laban sa Mga Sakit nag-aayos ng mga survey, diagnostic, at kontrol na aktibidad para sa mga sakit at sakit na dulot ng mahahalagang pananim sa buong Washington State. Ang mga empleyado ng Pest Program ay gumagawa ng mga survey para sa spotted lanternfly, spongy moth, apple maggot, northern giant hornet, Phytophthora ramorum, Spartina, at iba pang invasive na insekto na nakakasira, sakit, at damo. Ang ilang empleyado ay nagtatrabaho sa Plant Pest and Molecular Diagnostics Lab, o sa mga Entomology labs sa Olympia o Yakima upang magbigay ng diagnostic ng mga sample mula sa survey. Ang iba naman ay tumutulong sa kontrol at pag-alis ng spongy moth, invasive na snails, northern giant hornet, Spartina, at knotweed. Kahit anong banta, ang mga empleyado ng Pest Program ay gumagamit ng pinakabagong teknolohiya, siyentipikong proseso, at pagtutulungan upang protektahan ang ilan sa mga pananim na pinaka-mahalaga sa agrikultura ng Washington.

Ang Early Detection/Rapid Response Insect Trapper ay nag-aayos ng aktibidad sa larangan para sa mga aspeto ng pag-iwas sa invasive species. 

Ang Pagkakataon:
