Warning issued for the first time in two years due to prediction of mass outbreak of stink bugs.
While warnings are being issued nationwide due to the possibility of a large outbreak of stink bugs, a pest that damages fruit and other agricultural crops, Gunma Prefecture issued a warning for the first time in two years on the 23rd, citing the prediction of a mass outbreak in the prefecture, and calling on farmers to take thorough measures.
The warning issued by the prefecture due to the expected mass outbreak of the German-winged green stink bug, which sucks the juice from pears and apples and injures itself.
In January of this year, the prefecture investigated the number of stink bugs found in fallen leaves at eight observation points in the prefecture, and found that the number was about 3.2 times higher than average.
