Today in the Nurlat municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan a seminar-meeting was held on the protection of forest plantations from the gypsy moth. It was attended by the First Deputy Minister of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan Ilgizar Zaripov, Acting Director of the branch of the Federal State Institution “Roslesozashchita” “Forest Protection Center of the Republic of Tatarstan” Ilnar Akhmetgaliev, foresters, engineers for the protection and protection of the Nurlatsky, Aznakaevsky, Aksubaevsky, Alkeevsky forests, Bilyarsky, Menzelinsky and Cheremshansky forestries, as well as the director of Nurlatsky, Aznakaevsky, Aksubaevsky, Alkeyevsky, Bilyarsky, Menzelinsky and Cheremshansky forestries.
During the practical part of the seminar-meeting, its participants examined the areas where this year the facts of damage to forest plantations by gypsy moth caterpillars were recorded on the territory of the forest fund of the Nurlat forestry.
The plenary session was held on the basis of the administrative building of the State Institution of the Republic of Tatarstan “Nurlatsky Forestry”. First Deputy Minister Ilgizar Zaripov made the keynote speech. He said that this year gypsy moth foci were registered in the Republic of Tatarstan within the boundaries of Aznakaevsky, Aksubaevsky, Alkeyevsky, Bilyarsky, Menzelinsky, Nurlatsky and Cheremshansky forestries. “Institutions sent applications to the Forest Protection Center of the Republic of Tatarstan about the need for state forest pathological monitoring. A detailed examination is planned for the autumn period of this year,” Ilgizar Zaripov said.
According to him, the implementation of measures to destroy or suppress the number of harmful organisms is regulated by the order of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation dated November 9, 2020 No. 913. Planning of such measures is carried out in accordance with the document that is the basis for carrying out these activities - justification.
“Justifications are compiled by authorized bodies based on the results of an inventory of pest outbreaks, carried out on the basis of state forest pathological monitoring data. Such a document should prove the necessity and expediency of carrying out measures to destroy or suppress the number of harmful organisms,” said the First Deputy Minister. “The justifications are submitted for approval to the executive authorities no later than December 1 of the year preceding the year of the implementation of the measures.”
“A measure to combat the gypsy moth is the treatment of plantations with insecticides in the spring, after the rise and spread of the caterpillars along the crowns, in the first or second decade of May. Carrying out measures for the destruction or suppression of the number of harmful organisms can be carried out by ground or air methods,” added Ilgizar Zaripov. “It is necessary to take into account all the norms of the law and prepare justifications in a timely manner.”
