SACRAMENTO, Mashi 30, 2012 - Umnyango Wokudla Nezolimo waseCalifornia (CDFA) kanye noMnyango Wezolimo wase-United States (i-USDA) namuhla baqinisekise ukutholwa kombuso kokuqala kwesifo esisawolintshi esaziwa nge-huanglongbing (HLB), noma ukutshala kwewolintshi. Lesi sifo sitholwe kusampula ye-psyllid ye-citrus yase-Asia kanye nezinto zezitshalo ezithathwe esihlahleni sikalamula/ipummelo endaweni ehlala abantu endaweni yase-Hacienda Heights e-Los Angeles County.
I-HLB yisifo esibangelwa amagciwane esihlasela isimiso semithambo yezitshalo. Ayilona usongo kubantu noma ezilwaneni. I-Asian citrus psyllid ingasakaza amagciwane njengoba izinambuzane zidla izihlahla zewolintshi nezinye izitshalo. Uma isihlahla sithelelekile, alikho ikhambi; ngokuvamile liyehla futhi life phakathi neminyaka embalwa.
“I-citrus ayiyona nje ingxenye yomnotho wezolimo waseCalifornia; kuyingxenye ebalulekile yezwe lethu kanye nomlando wethu esabelana ngawo,” kusho uNobhala weCDFA uKaren Ross. “I-CDFA ihamba ngokushesha ukuze ivikele abalimi besizwe samawolintshi kanye nezihlahla zethu zokuhlala kanye nezitshalo eziningi eziyigugu ezitshalwa emapaki ethu nakwezinye izindawo zomphakathi. Besihlela futhi silungiselela lesi simo nabalimi bethu kanye nozakwethu emazingeni kahulumeni nawasekhaya kusukela ngaphambi kokuthi i-psyllid yase-Asian citrus iqale ukutholwa lapha ngo-2008. "
Izikhulu zenza izinhlelo zokususa nokulahla isihlahla esinegciwane futhi ziphathe izihlahla zewolintshi endaweni engamamitha angu-800 ukusuka endaweni okutholwe kuyo. Ngokuthatha lezi zinyathelo, i-reservoir ebalulekile yezifo kanye nama-vectors ayo azosuswa, okubalulekile. Ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nohlelo luzonikezwa endaweni evulekile yolwazi ehlelelwe uLwesine, Ephreli 5, e-Industrial Hills Expo Center, The Avalon Room, 16200 Temple Avenue, City of Industry, kusukela ngo-5:30 kuya ku-7:00 ntambama.
Ukwelashwa kwe-HLB kuzokwenziwa ngokugadwa kwe-California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal-EPA) futhi kuzokwenziwa ngokuphepha, nezaziso zokulandelela ezinikezwa izakhamuzi endaweni yokwelapha.
Inhlolovo ejulile yezihlahla zewolintshi zendawo kanye nama-psyllids iyaqhubeka ukuze kutholwe umthombo nezingako zokuhlasela kwe-HLB. Sekuqalile ukuhlelela ukuhlukaniswa kwendawo ehlaselwe ukuze kunqandwe ukusakazeka kwalesi sifo ngokukhawulela ukuhamba kwezihlahla zewolintshi, izingxenye zezitshalo zewolintshi, imfucumfucu eluhlaza, nazo zonke izithelo zewolintshi ngaphandle kwalezo ezihlanzwa futhi zipakishwe ukuze kuhwetshwe. Njengengxenye ye-quarantine, izitshalo ezisawolintshi kanye nezitshalo ezihlobene eduze ezikhungweni ezikuleyo ndawo zizomiswa.
Izakhamizi ezihlala ezindaweni okuhlaliswe kuzo zodwa ziyanxuswa ukuthi zingasusi noma zingabelani ngesithelo samawolintshi, izihlahla, iziqeshana/ izixhumi noma izinto zezitshalo ezihlobene nazo. Izithelo ezisawolintshi zingavunwa futhi zidliwe endaweni.
I-CDFA, ngokubambisana ne-USDA, okhomishana bezolimo bendawo kanye nemboni ye-citrus, iyaqhubeka nokuphishekela isu lokulawula ukusabalala kwama-psyllids ase-Asian citrus ngenkathi abacwaningi besebenzela ukuthola ikhambi lalesi sifo.
I-HLB yaziwa ukuthi ikhona eMexico nasezingxenyeni eziseningizimu ye-US Florida yaqala ukubona lesi zinambuzane ngo-1998 kanye nesifo ngo-2005, futhi lezi ezimbili manje sezitholakele kuzo zonke izifunda ezingu-30 ezikhiqiza amawolintshi kuleso sifundazwe. Inyuvesi yaseFlorida ilinganisela ukuthi lesi sifo sesenze imisebenzi engaphezu kuka-6,600 elahlekile, u- $ 1.3 billion emalini elahlekile kubalimi kanye nama- $ 3.6 wezigidigidi emisebenzini yezomnotho elahlekile. Izinambuzane kanye nalesi sifo zikhona naseTexas, Louisiana, Georgia naseNingizimu Carolina. Izifundazwe zase-Arizona, Mississippi kanye ne-Alabama zithole izinambuzane kodwa hhayi lesi sifo.
I-Asian citrus psyllid yaqala ukutholwa eCalifornia ngo-2008, futhi izindawo zokuhlala zodwa manje sezisendaweni yaseVentura, San Diego, Imperial, Orange, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino kanye nezifunda zaseRiverside. Uma abantu base-California bekholelwa ukuthi babone ubufakazi be-HLB ezihlahleni zasendaweni zamawolintshi, bayacelwa ukuthi bashayele inombolo yocingo yamahhala yezinambuzane ye-CDFA kokuthi 1-800-491-1899.
