Police intervention, farmers in Jinxian County, Jiangxi Province reported suspected poisoning of rice paddies: nearly 30 acres of dead experts | particulate matter | technology | farmland | paddy fields | medicine | Hu Xingrong | rice
"Nearly 30 acres of rice fields have been affected and artificially poisoned!" Recently, Hu Xingrong, a rural resident of Sanli Village in Jinxian County, Nanchang City, reported to Dajiang.com about his involvement in Jiangxi Province. He and his father contracted a basic farmland for growing rice. On May 25th, he discovered that someone had "poisoned" the farmland the night before, causing nearly 30 acres of rice to wither and die.
Comparison between rice fields that have just been destroyed and those that have been destroyed for a period of time
Hu Xingrong introduced that on May 25th, he discovered many white particles in the farmland. After comparing with several local pesticide merchants, it was preliminarily determined that the white particles may be the cyclophosphamide pesticide. He said that after the incident, only a few acres of rice had turned yellow at the beginning. Due to the rainy season, with the erosion and backflow of rainwater, the affected area has expanded and caused nearly 30 acres of rice fields to die.
The Notice of Appraisal Opinion shows that the particles released on site contain cyclohexanone components
On June 20th, the Sanli Police Station of Jinxian County Public Security Bureau issued a "Notice of Appraisal Opinion" to Hu Xingrong. After being assigned by the county public security bureau, relevant personnel conducted a qualitative inspection and identification of cyclohexanone in the white particulate matter extracted from the paddy field, and determined that the sample contained cyclohexanone components.
Regarding this result, Hu Xingrong stated that it must have been intentional "poisoning" by someone, and he never used such drugs for rice cultivation.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Hu Xingrong, a Jiangxi journalist from Dajiang.com came to the scene of the incident. A patch of yellow rice appeared particularly dazzling in the large green rice fields, and Hu Xingrong's father stood alone by the rice fields, sighing incessantly. According to his description, large areas of rice in the fields are now turning yellow and gradually withering and eventually dying. He pointed to a nearby pond and said that previously it was filled with rice, but now it has all died due to the influence of its medicinal effects.
Hu Xingrong's face on the side was also full of worries, constantly teasing a bunch of yellowed and dying rice ears with his hands. He told reporters that originally, a month later, this rice field would usher in a bountiful harvest, but now, only the withering rice ears are welcoming them.
At present, Hu Xingrong has contracted about 280 acres of basic farmland in Sanli Township, all of which are used for rice cultivation. After this incident, he estimated that the economic loss has exceeded 50000 yuan.
The reporter learned from relevant rice technology experts that cyclohexanone is generally used for weed control and irrigation in forests or along railway lines. "This drug has relatively strong toxicity and is often used to remove stubborn weeds or shrubs." The technical expert explained that this drug mainly inhibits plant photosynthesis. The roots and leaves of plants can absorb cyclohexanone, which is transmitted through the xylem, causing metabolic disorders and leading to plant death.
Technical experts also added that the drug is almost not used for weeding rice and is rarely used in daily contact. Does this drug have any impact on the future cultivation of farmland? Technical experts suggest that specific judgments need to be made based on the amount of medication administered and the medication brand's instructions.
In response to this situation, the Sanli Police Station told reporters from Dajiang.com that the case is still under investigation and specific details are not convenient to disclose. In this regard, Jiangxi reporters from Dajiang.com will continue to pay attention.
