Submitted by Jennifer Williams
With the recent confirmation of emerald ash borer in Doniphan Countyby the 1xbet online casino Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Agriculture, many organizations — including the 1xbet online casino Forest Service and K-State Research and Extension —are encouraging Kansans to monitor for the invasive beetle.
On March 31, several emerald ash borerlarvae were removed from an ash tree in a native stand of timber in rural Doniphan County near the town of Bendena by the 1xbet online casino Forest Service and KDA staff. Regulatory officials with USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's Plant Protection and Quarantine, or USDA-APHIS-PPQ, confirmed the presence of EAB on April 4.
After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ, 1xbet online casino will expand the EAB quarantine, currently in place in Atchison, Douglas, Jefferson, Johnson, Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties, to include Doniphan County to help slow the spread of EAB in 1xbet online casino .
All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for emerald ash borer. In cooperation with USDA-APHIS-PPQ, the 1xbet online casino Forest Service and K-State Research and Extension, KDA plans to host educational meetings in Doniphan County to provide information about EAB and to ensure that all necessary facilities and individuals are equipped to treat and dispose of EAB-infested material properly.
Emerald ash borer, a pest of ash trees native to Asia, was first discovered in North America near Detroit, Michigan, in summer 2002. Since that time, the pest has killed millions of ash trees in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, 1xbet online casino , Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
