Don’t rejoice to color of an ambrosia
All know that weeds considerably reduce productivity of crops. But the special peril is represented by a quarantine weed - an ambrosia polynnolistny. It is harmful not only as a malicious weed in crops of cultural plants, but also as a plant hazardous to health of people. During flowering pollen with a stream of air is transferred on big distances, causing in the people inclined to allergic diseases, pollinoz.
Analyzing a fytosanitory condition of AR Crimea the last 10 years, we found out that the areas under this weed considerably increased.
The greatest littered areas are in Dzhankoysky, Kirovsk, Leninsk, the Simferopol, Soviet areas and in the cities of Simferopol, Kerch, Jankoi.
Considering gravity of a situation, the Council of ministers of AR Crimea adopted some resolutions directed on fight against quarantine weeds. One of them – the Resolution of Council of ministers of AR Crimea No. 787 from December 04 2007g. About the adoption of Actions for fight against quarantine weeds in the territory of the Autonomous Republic Crimea in which actions for fight against an ambrosia polynnolistny are defined. However, unfortunately, not in all areas it is given due consideration to its performance. Carried out by Krymgoskarantin’s experts of check showed that fight against an ambrosia polynnolistny in Belogorsky, Dzhankoysky, Krasnoperekopsky, Krasnogvardeysky, Razdolnensky, Simferopol areas and in the cities of Feodosiya, Armyanska today is poorly conducted.
Funds from local budgets are allocated and fight in the Soviet area, the cities of Jankoi, Kerch, Simferopol is successfully carried out.
The important task for land users - not to allow for today further expansion of the areas under this dangerous quarantine weed. Destruction of an ambrosia should be carried out in due time (i.e. before flowering) systematically and everywhere with use of radical mechanical, agrotechnical and chemical actions.
According to the Law of Ukraine About quarantine of plants (article 16) and to the Code of Ukraine about administrative offenses (article 105) the violation of the rules of fight against quarantine wreckers, diseases and weeds or their default involves penalty imposing on citizens from 4 to 10, and on officials – from 8 to 15 tax-free minima. So, as of 11.08.2008 47 people are involved in official penalties, 3196 hryvnias are collected.
Fight against weeds – an integral part of actions for rational use of the earth.
