Through field investigations, it was found that the star anise trees in Funing are severely affected by scale insects, anthracnose, gray mold, and gummosis, and some star anise trees exhibit mistletoe phenomena. Professor Wu Jianrong explained in detail the causes, harmful characteristics, and key points for prevention and control. It was pointed out that preventing diseases and pests in star anise should start from the source, adopting joint prevention and control measures. On one hand, attention should be paid to soil improvement and scientific fertilization to enhance the trees' own resistance. On the other hand, field management should be strengthened, with timely removal of diseased branches, leaves, and weeds to reduce the breeding environment for pests and diseases. Effective prevention and control measures should be taken at the early stages of pest and disease occurrence.
Recently, Professor Wu Jianrong's team from Southwest Forestry University conducted a detailed investigation and provided technical guidance on the cultivation management and pest control of star anise in Funing.
