1 Introduction
1.1 Project Description
The project proposed by Guzhen Town of Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province includes two
sub-projects, namely green exhibition parkdevelopment sub-project and decorative lighting
industry development service platform and project management sub-project. The first sub-
project, consisting of construction of the green exhibition park and development of biological
breeding platform, will be located in the South Green Exhibition Park in Guzhen Town of
Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. The second sub-project will be located in east of
Zhongxin Road, to the north of Town government building compound. Implementation of the
project will take 3 years. Activities to be accomplished include: construction of the green
exhibition park, development of the biological breeding platform, civil work for construction
of the project management office, procurement and installation of equipment and facilities,
institutional strengthening and capacity building, project management and monitoring and etc.
Implementation of the first sub-project will start with construction of public infrastructure and
public service facilities to build a foundation for development of the green exhibition park.
Construction of green houses, bridges, roads, water engineering facilities, buildings, ancillary
structures and etc. for the green exhibition parkwill provide it withnecessary basic
infrastructure for itsdevelopment, provision of modernized mechanical equipment and
devicesof a certain amount will strengthen its advancement in equipment and devices and
establish its high standards of mechanization, intelligentization and standardization, so that the
green exhibition park can be in a leading position in China in terms ofmanagement,
production, trading and security. Further development of the green exhibition park can be
realized through its holding China (Zhongshan) SouthVirescence Plantlet Expo at regular
intervals and use of all possible public relation channels to increase its influences.
Development of the biological breeding platform will support development of ornamental
flora and fauna germplasm resources nursery and database, development of innovation and
research center for nursery stock germplasm of flowers and plants,research and development
center for breeding and processing techniques of ornamental animals, establishment of
demonstration base for large-scale breeding and processing techniques of ornamental animals,
and control and technical extension center for nutrition, diseases and pests of ornamental
animals and plants, etc. Technical advantage of Zhongshan University, the town’s partner, will
be utilized to develop breeding and reproduction systems of orchids, Cuora trifasciata (a small
water turtle for ornamental purpose) and ornamental fish and other products, so as to establish
the highest standards for the industry and provide scientific and technical support and talents
for back-end industrialized production and thus drive and facilitate development of rare and
precious ornamental animals and plants in Southern China and even in the whole China.
Development of Guzhen Town decorative lighting development service platform will start
with a high standard and cover services for all activities ofthe decorative lighting industry,
including design, trading, training and testing. Implementation of the sub-project will favor
safe, efficient and stable development of decorative lighting industry in Guzhen Town, and
will also facilitate combined development of the advantageous industries of decorative
2
lighting and virescence plantlets and ornamental animals and plants in Guzhen Town, so as to
achieve integrated economic, social and ecological benefits.
The project involves construction of the green exhibition park, which relates to agricultural
production and consists of activities such as production and trading of virescence plantlets,
development of biological breeding platform, ornamental animal and plant germplasm
resources nursery and database, development of innovation and research center for nursery
stock germplasm of flowers and plants, research and development center for breeding and
processing techniques of ornamental animals, establishment of demonstration base for large-
scale breeding and processing techniques of ornamental animals, and institutional capacity
building and etc. Since all these activities relate to pest control and management during project
implementation, this PMP is preparedfor the purpose of ensuring smooth project
implementation, based on surveys to the project areas and collection of a large amount of data
and in compliance with the World Bank’s environmentalassessment procedures for pest
management and Forest Pest Control Regulations issued by the State Council.
This PMP follows the principle of “Prevention First, Scientific Control, Rule of Law,
HealthPromotion”as stipulated in the Forest Pest Control Regulations and puts forward
approaches for control and management of the main animal and plant pests and diseases
relating to the project. The proposed approaches advocate natural control of the pests and
diseases on the premise of environmental protection, and aim at promoting biological
prevention and control or environmental prevention and control by using appropriate
techniques in a coordinated way to reduce reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides, so as to
limit pest damage within a tolerable leveland achieve optimal economic, social and ecological
benefits while preventing environmental pollution caused by chemical pesticides.
1.2 Natural Conditions of the Project Area
1.2.1 Location of the Project Area
Guzhen Town is well-known both at home and abroad as “Lighting Capital of China”.
Located in the northwest part of Zhongshan City of Guangdong province, Guzhen Town is
at the junction of three cities of Guangdong Province, including Zhongshan, Jiangmen and
Fushan and adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao.
1.2.2 Hydrological and Meteorological Conditions of the Project Area
Zhongshan City is located in the low latitude zone, with all territory situated in the south of
the Tropic of Cancer. It is characterized by sub-tropical zone monsoon climate, with plenty
of heat and light resources, abundant rainfall and solar radiation. Total radiant quantity of the
city maximizes in July, amounting to 51,141.3 Joule/cm2 and minimizes in February,
amounting to only 23,285.7 Joule/cm2.Over the years, the sunshine duration
averages1843.4hrs., accounting for 42% of the possible annual sunshine duration. The
maximal sunshine duration occurred in 1955, totaling 2,392.6 hrs.and accounting for 54% of
the possible annual sunshine duration, and the minimal sunshine occurred in 1994, with only
1,448.2 hrs. andaccounting for 33% of the possible annual sunshine duration. Annual
average temperature of the city is 22.0 ;its lowest monthly temperature occurs in January,
3
being 13.6 ; and highest monthly temperature occurs in July, being 28.5 . Extremely
highest temperature of the city is 38.7 , which occurred on July 18 and 19, 2005),
extremely lowest temperature is -1.3 , which occurred on January 12, 1955). Being on the
verge of the South China Sea, the city has its main water source of precipitation, or the great
quantity of moisture brought about by monsoons in summer, and its annual precipitation is
1,791.3mm on average. Disastrous weather events that affect the city include typhoon,
rainstorm, low temperature, frost, low temperature and overcast and consecutive rain,
drought and thunderstorm.
1.3 Social Economic Conditions
Guzhen Town covers an area totaling 47.8 km2, consisting of 3 naturally formed villages,
namely Guzhen, Caobu and Haizhou. Jurisdictionally, the town includes 12 administrative
villages and 1 neighborhood committee, and totally 71 thousand people registered as local
residents and 80 thousand people as transient population.
Ever since implementation of national policy of reform and opening to the outside world,
Guzhen Town has been gradually evolving from unitary agriculture dominated town to
anindustrialized town characterized by regional, featured economy, with decorative
lightingand flower and plant seedlings as itsmajor supporting industries.Comprehensive
economic and social development in Guzhen Town has brought to it lots of honors,
including the honors of “Lighting Capital of China”, “National Level Civilization Town”
and“National Level Sanitary Town”, and recognitions as one of the “Nationwide Top 100
Towns for Best Investment Environment”, “Nationwide Top 100 Towns for Best
Performance of Afforestation and Virescence”, “First Batch Industrialize Satellite Towns in
Guangdong Province”, “Provincial Level Top Towns for Education Promotion”, “Provincial
Level Demonstration Area for Agricultural Modernization”, “Provincial Level
Demonstration Area for Industrial ClusterUpgrade” and etc. In 2010, the gross output value
of industry and agriculture of Guzhen Town totaled RMB 23.653 billion, and GDP totaled
RMB 8.77 billion, per capita GDP was RMB 123.3 thousand; national and local tax
revenues totaled RMB 960 million, per capita income of farmers was RMB 22,603; at the
end of the year, bank balance of the town totaled RMB 15.6 billion, and household savings
surplus was RMB 11.7 billion. For many years, the town hasranked forefront place in the
whole Zhongshan City in terms of per capita income and deposits held in the banks.
Guzhen Town is one of the conventionaleconomic crop planting zones in Zhongshan City. In
recent years, the town increased its investments in agricultural production to improve
agriculturalinfrastructure and water engineering works,and also made great efforts in
adjusting distribution of agricultural production and agricultural product structure. As a
result, an agricultural economic structure with flower and plant seedling plantingas leading
industry and good quality aquaculture as supplementary industry has been formed in the
town and generated high output, high efficiency and high added value, and the town has
become a major production bases for flower and plant seedlings and one of the major
markets for such productsin Southern China.In 1999, Guzhen Town was recognized by
Guangdong provincial government as one of the Ten Major Demonstration Areas for
Agricultural Modernization. Currently, the town has cropping area totaling 21 thousand mu,
including 11 thousand mu for flowers and ornamental plants and 300 mu for vegetable
4
planting.In 2008, the South Green ExhibitionPark was planned with a total area of about 10
thousand mu, and 3times of China (Zhongshan) South Virescence Plantlet Expo have been
successfullyheld in the exhibition park, all of which were widely and highly commended by
leaders at all levels and all social circles. Additionally, agricultural production by farmers of
Guzhen Town in places outside the town is very prominent, with lots of farmers of the town
going to Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Xinhui and Zhanjiang and other places to conduct agricultural
production activities. At present, agricultural production area operated by farmers of Guzhen
Town in places outside the town totals above 30 thousand mu, which greatly upgradeextension
and driving-force impact of agricultural development of Guzhen Town.
1.4 Current Status of the Sub-project Area Relating to Agricultural Production
The sub-project involves agricultural production is the South Green Exhibition Parksub-
project. The South Green Exhibition Park covers an area totaling 10,050 mu, including
indoor exhibition area of 6,800 m2 in total, mainly for exhibition of landscaping and
landscape trees, but also with stands for display of gardening material, pesticides and
fertilizers, drainage, irrigationand lighting facilities, and landscaping sketches and elements,
etc. The park has the biggest temporary planting base for camphor in Asia, over 2,000 mu of
area for exhibition of flowers and trees, as well as Longlinsha flower and tree planting base,
which covers6,800 mu of land equipped with ancillary facilities and is the largest
landscaping seedling production base in South China. Through two years of planning and
construction, all scenery spots in the exhibition areas and ancillary facilities in thepark have
become increasingly improved, and the park has attracted investors from abroad,
surrounding provinces in South China and renown enterprises in major cities in the Pearl
River Delta in Guangdong province, such as Guangdong Weisheng Gardening (Greenhouse)
Science and Technology Company Limited, Guangdong Zonglv Gardening Joint Stock
Company Limited, Spanish Philip Corporation and other corporations with foreign
capital.Nearly 138 enterprises have entered in the park, and the park has become a
comprehensive industrial parkwith landscaping seedling industry as the leading industry and
bonsai and rare rocks, shady flowers and plants, ornamental fish culture and turtle breeding
as supplementary industries.
1.5 IPM Concept
For the purpose of agricultural development, IPM is a strategic approach to pest control and
management that consists of closely related 3 stages of implementation, namely prevention,
monitoring and interference. It relies on a combination of supplementary agricultural,
physical, ecological and chemical practices to effectively reduce or put an end to use of
pesticides, so as to reduce pollution caused by chemicals to natural environment and
ecosystems.
IPM supported by the project involves the following aspects:
(1) Pest control to manage the damage to the limit of acceptable economic losses, instead of
exterminating all pests and diseases;
(2) Utilizing as much as possible non-chemical means to maintain a low level of pest
5
population;
(3) When it’s necessary to use pesticides, selection of the variety and application method
should ensure that hazardous impacts on beneficial organisms, human beings and eco-
environment can be reduced as far as possible.
1.6 Objectives of IPM Implementation under the Project
Implementation of IPM will make it possible to change the current practice of input and
application method of agro-chemicals (chemical fertilizers, pesticides) in the
production/culture processes of seedlings, ornamental fish and turtles. The Project will attend
to the potential negative impacts caused by change of input and application method of agro-
chemicals, and will mitigate them by introducing to the enterprises in the park more effective
agro-chemicals and application techniques. Meanwhile, through introduction and
demonstration of more environmentally friendly IPM techniques, the Project will help to
enlarge planting/culture areas of seedlings, ornamental fish and turtles, improve quality and
outputs of the forestry and aquatic products, so as to increase incomes of the enterprises that
have entered in the park.
Under the Project, this PMP will be implemented in the green exhibition park sub-project area
through vigorously promoting use of forest culture and management, physical and biological
methods to control pests and diseases, so as to reduce reliance of seedlingsproduction and
ornamental fish and turtle culture on agro-chemicals and thus pollution to the products and
natural eco-environment. Therefore, preparation of this PMP is very much necessary.

2.1 Main Pests Found in the Project Area
2.1.1 Current Status of Seedling Planting and Predictable Main Pests
Nanfang Green Exhibition Park is anindustrial park with trade as the major operation and
production as supplementary activity. The enterprises in the park mainly conduct temporary
planting of seedlings transported from their own production bases or outsourcedseedlings in
the park, and selling of the living seedlings. The seedlings won’t be kept for long duration in
the park. Currently, the park has over 300 kinds of seedlings regularly planted, as shown in
Appendix 1. There are altogether over 400 kinds of pests predictable (see Appendix 2 for
details), including 6 kinds of quarantine pests, such as Brontispa longissima,Rhynchophorus
2.1.2 Current Status of Ornamental Fish and Testudinate Culture and Predictable Pests
There are mainly 7 kinds of ornamental fish in the Green Exhibition Park,
includingCyprinidae, Tetra, Aphyosemion, Cichlaidae, Anabas testudineus, Hornpout and
other ornamental fish (see Table 2-1 for details). Main culture varieties of Testudinate
include Platysternidae, Emydidae, Testudinidae, Cheloniidae, Dermochelyidae and
Trionychidae, etc., as shown in Table 2-2.Due to reasons relating to pond environment,
water quality, feed and own conditions of the fish and turtles, diseases would occur at any
stages of the culturing process, the disease and control methods are shown in Table 2-3.

2.3 Overall Evaluation of the Current Practice of Disease and Pest Managment
Biological and non-polluting chemical prevention and control of pests and diseases are
currently the prevailing methods in Guzhen Town, Zhongshan City of Guangdong province,
but use of pesticides for control of pests and diseases of seedlings has the advantages of
beingeffective, convenient for machine-based application and etc. In cases of large scale of
pest incidence, pesticides can help to exterminate pests in short time period, and therefore
are being widely used in control of pests and diseases of seedlings.
Through consultations with relevant departments of the project area and field surveys to the
farmers, it is understood that, due to the special geographic environment, dynamic
international and domestic economic and trade activities, an abundance of tree varieties, and
warm and humid climate in the project area,pests and diseases exist in the project area are of
great varieties, causing serious damages. It was also learned that, a complete system of
disease and pest prediction and forecasting has been established by agricultural plant
protection department of Guzhen Town Agricultural Office and equipped with matured
techniques that are in the leading position in the region. However, problems relating to use of
pesticides still exist in the project area, including:
(1)Reliance on chemical control methods;
(2)Arbitrary disposal of agro-chemicals and their packaging material, which forms latent plane
source pollution;
(3) Incidents of illegal use of highly toxic agro-chemicals are still found;
(4) Improper use of and management on pesticides;
(5) Inadequate compulsory execution of relevant laws and rgualtions on labeling and
marketing of agro-chemicals;
(6) Lack of awareness of safe use of pesticides and of personal safety measures;
13
(7) Insufficient understanding of IPM of the agricultural extension staff, agro-chemical seller
and farmers.

3.3.1 Current Status and Trend of Pests and Diseases of Seedlings
Guzhen Town of Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province is located in the northwest part of
Zhongshan City, adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, and is only a little bit more than 1 hour
ride to Guangzhou Municipality. Being an important hinterland area of the Pearl River Delta
Economic Zone, Guzhen is featured by mild and humid weather and an abundance of plant
varieties that, unfortunately, also bring along pests of great varieties, wide distribution and
serious damages.Quarantine pestsfound in the town include Quadrastichus erythrinae,
Mikania micrantha, Brontispa longissima, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus and etc. Over recent
years, along with increase of plantation area of seedlings, varieties and incidence area of
forest pests has been increasing, with the problem of abrupt incidences of forest pests
becoming more and moreoutstanding. Given the frequent international and national seedling
trade in the town, major damages caused by intrusion of forest pests are increasingly serious.
3.3.2 Problems Existing in Pest and Disease Management
(1) Lagging behind in using updated prevention concept: seedling health concept has not
been incorporated in the current practice of preventing pests for forest production, and forest
culture and management techniques and effective measures to strengthenresistance capacity
of seedlingsin line with ecological systemconsideration are still lacking;

(2) Backward prevention measures: traditional ground investigation methods are still the
primary approaches used for monitoring of forest pests, resulting in higher time and labor
input and poor accuracy. Advance monitoring techniques need to be promoted for better
accuracy in monitoring and prediction.
(3) Capacity building system is not well established: training of forest pest IPM techniques
is still lagging. Because of inadequate introduction, demonstration and extension of
advanced monitoring and prevention techniques, awareness of risks of forest pests is not yet
well understood, making it impossible to realize real time monitoring and early warning of
forest pests within the whole region.
3.3.3 Measures Needed for Pest and Disease Management under the Project
Due to limited technical staff and inadequate fiancial input,progress in research and extension
of non-chemical control techniques includingphysical and biological ones, is kept at a slow
pace, with only single prevention and control method used and the resulted unsatisfactory
results. Additionally, non-chemical prevention and control accounts for a smaller proportion,
so further efforts are needed in carrying out extensive publicity, training and extension. During
project implementaiton, the following aspects should be strengthened:
(1) Upgrade the level of pest management through training to technicians in the green
exhibition park and in the seedling production enterprises;
(2) Provide training to farmers on basic knowledge about identification, prevention and
control of pests, based on local situation and actual needs of the farmers;
(3) Prepare practical training material and supplement it with necessary audio-visual aids;
(4) Strengthen support to research on and extension of IPM of major forest pests.
3.3.4Development of Pest and Disease Prevention and Control System in the Project Area
At present, 3relatively completed systems, including a monitoring and early warning system,
a quarantine and prevention system and a non-polluting prevention and control system, have
been established in the project area, with monitoring sites of various amounts set up at each
of themonitoring and prediction stations for the purpose of ensuring real time, dynamic
monitoring of pests and diseases, so as to provide data support to comprehensive prevention
and control. Professional staff has been teamed up to conduct quarantine, prevention and
control of pests and diseases.

5 Recommended Measuresfor Pest and Disease Control
5.1 Purposes of the Recommendations
The purposes of recommending measures for pest and disease control under the project are to
demonstrate and extend to a maximal degree use of IPM methods to reduce reliance on synthetic
chemical pesticides in the entire project area. The recommended measures include: plant
quarantine, pest prediction andforestry measures,, physical, biological and chemical measures
andetc., and, more specifically, disinfection of ornamental fish ponds and seedlings, biological
disease control, polyculture of fish and turtles, planting of floating vascular bundle plant (Pistia
stratiotes), proper use of microbial ecological agents to recover water environmental ecology.
5.2Main Measures Recommended in this PMP
5.2.1 Recommended Measures for Pest and Disease Control of Seedlings
5.2.1.1 Plant Quarantine Measures
Plant quarantine should be strengthened in the project area. Plant quarantine at places of origin,
for export or transport purpose and re-quarantinesystems should be strictly observed, so as to
secure effectiveelimination of pests and diseases. Introduction of seeds, scions or seedlings from
the pest/disease affected areas is prohibited. For purpose of standardizing the production and
marketing of the seedlings, registration of forest seedlings, seedling production permit, seedling
quality certificate and seedling production license systems should be implemented. Quarantine of
imported wood and wood products should be strengthened, and on-the-spot elimination of
quarantine object(s) should be performed once discovered,so as to prevent its/their entering into
the project area.
5.2.1.2 Pest Prediction Measures
Guzhen Town Agricultural Office shall provide information on pest incidence to the enterprises
in the green exhibition park in a timely manner, including object of control, control measures,
technologies and types of pesticides for use, etc. Such information shall be provided 7-10 days
prior to commencement of implementation of the control measures. Guzhen Town Agricultural
Office should ensure that the control measures are implemented in parallel in the nearby
towns/townships to enhance effectiveness.
5.2.1.3 Forestry Measures
• Selectingpests/disease resistant tree species to upgrade self-resistance capability of
the seedlings;
• Applyingintercropping or mixed planting to have proper allocation of species and
crops, so as to damages;
• Breeding sturdy seedlings by sterilizing the seeds and soil, culling unhealthy
seedlings, so as to cultivate high-quality and strong seedlings
23
• Matching sites with trees, i.e. selecting tree species that best adapt to local
environmental conditions of the site;
• Planting in time, i.e. selecting proper planting season;
• Rationalizing use of fertilizers by applying adequate organic manure, minimalizing
use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers and increasing up-take of calcium;~
• Cleaning seedling land by deep plowing of soil to expose pests to extreme weather
and removing infected plants, branches or leaves.~
5.2.1.4 Physical Measures
• Capturing pests: such as using black light trap to capture moths, beetles and orthoptera
pests; using sweet and sour solution to capture moths; artificial capturing and removal of
coleoptera adults, lepidoptera larvae, pupae and egg masses; artificial clearing of
overwintering pupae in the earth; prunning the infected/impacted plant to remove
pests/diseases and so on.
• Cutting off routes of pests: this is to use specific habits of some pests to prevent damage,
such asstickingon a tree trunk a plastic apron to prevent damage by some kinds of pestswith
the habit of overwintering under the tree, or climbing up and damaging trees at night but
going down and hiding underneath the tree during daytime.
5.2.1.5 Biological Measures
Biological measures include: use of biological pesticides, such as matrine, Bt, SNPV, etc; use of
natural enemies such as the Sclroderma guani, Chouioia cunea, Cerambycid Parasitoid, ladybird
beetle; and use of sex attractant traps to kill pests, such as Monochamus alternatus .
5.2.1.6 Chemical Measures
Cost-effective measures by combining pesticide use with other control measures should be
promoted to increase effectiveness of pest and disease control. Useof pesticides should be on
the premise of applying only those pesticides that are of good quality, low toxic or non-toxic
pesticides to humans and livestockand safe to seedlings.
The main measures to improve effectiveness of pesticides include: prohibiting use of highly
toxic, toxic or highly residual pesticides; using different pesticides to control various pests and
forbiddinguse of broad-spectrum pesticides; adopting proper application frequency based on pest
occurrence; applying pesticides of proper amount; mixing pesticides with appropriate proportions
and alternating pesticides properly; strictly implementing national regulations on pre-harvest
interval (GB4285-89).
Use of chemical control measures should abide by the following principles:
(1) Use cost-effective non-pesticide chemicals;
24
(2) Use highly effective, low toxic and low residual pesticides (Category III pesticides defined by
the WHO );
(3) Promote use of pest and disease control techniques that are low toxic to humans, livestock
and plants and withless pollution to environment, including:
�Use of low toxic and low residual pesticides;
�To ensure optimal effectiveness of pesticide application, timely use of high effectiveness and
low concentration pesticides to control various pests is recommended in pest source area with
high density of pests, focal area of pest occurrence, and at larval stages of pests. Pesticides which
have lethal effect on the natural enemies will be prohibited to increase natural enemies at the late
stage after rampant occurrence of pests;
~ Ensuring safe interval for use of pesticides;
~ Instead of long-term continuous use of a single type of pesticide, alternative pesticide
use is recommended for pest control.
(4) Use of safe spraying devices (such as shouldered sprayers, optimized nozzle dimension) and
methods to enhance effectiveness of the pesticide application and pest control;
(5) Strengthening publicity and education on safe and proper use of pesticides, extending safe
application of pesticides through training, strictly following regulations on pesticide application
and paying attention to safety in use of pesticides;
(6) Safe storage of chemicals (e.g. keeping pesticides away from food and children);
(7) Dumping invalided and obsoleted pesticidesinto natural waters and cleaning containers or
application instruments of chemicalsin natural waters should be banned, proper disposal (such as
deep burial) at safe locations should be chosen.
5.2.2Recommended Measures for Pest and Disease Control of Ornamental Fish and Turtles
5.2.2.1 Recommend Measures for Disease Control of Ornamental Fish
(1) Disinfection of Fish Pond
Either dry pond disinfection method or with-water pond disinfection method can be applied. For
the dry pond disinfection method, first thing to do is to drain the pond, and then use quicklime
2250kg/ha or bleaching powder (150 kg/ha)to disinfect the pond. For with-water pond
disinfection,solution of quicklime (5250kg/ha)or bleaching powder (225kg/ha)can be used to
splash pond with water depth of 1m.
(2) Fingerling Disinfection
25
Before putting the fingerlings into pond, disinfection of the fingerlings should be conducted to
kill microbes and parasites on their bodies and thus benefit prevention and control of fish
diseases.
(3) Biological Prevention of Fish Diseases
Polyculture of various varieties of fish can be used to allow three-dimensional use of the space
and mutualistic symbiosis and mutual benefit of the fish varieties forming a food chain, so as to
reduce and prevent fish disease and increase productivity.
Proper aquatic plants can be put in pond, such as proper amounts of water hyacinth, Azolla
Filiculoides Lamk, to control nitrogen concentration and thus fertility level of water in the
pond, absorb harmful substances, mitigate water qualitydeterioration, and cool the pond water
in hot summer, for a good ecological environment of cultured fish.
Periodical disinfection of water in fish pond.June to October is the time period of high
incidence of fish diseases, when disinfection of pond water should be strengthened. The
prevention methods include: splashing the entire pond using bleaching powder solution
(1mg/kg) once every 15 days to prevent bacterial diseases of fish (such as red skin, rotten
branchia, enteritis and etc.); splashing the pond with copper sulfate (0.5mg/kg) +ferrisulphas
(0.2mg/kg) once every month to prevent parasites including Trichodina, Crytocia branchialis,
Bodo globasus and Sinergasilus and etc.; crystaldipterex (0.3-0.5mg/kg) to kill larvae of
Lernaea, Sinergasilus and etc.in the fish pond.
Oral medicine to be added in feed for fish disease prevention and control: Since disinfection of
pond water alone will not be adequate for prevention of some diseasesof fish (such as
Hemorrhage and enteritis), oral medicines to be added in feed or stuck onto waterweeds are
also necessary.
5.2.2.2 Recommended Measures for Disease Control of Testudinate
(1)Maintaining a well-adjusted water environment to stabilize water quality, water color and
transparency, reduce environmental stress and the resulted hypoimmunity, so as to reduce
disease incidence of the turtles;
(2) Conducting strict monitoring and control of fingerlings, feed and medicinesput in turtle
ponds and the input methods in compliance with technical standards stipulated by the national
government, Ministry of Agriculture and Guangdong province, so as to prevent against diseases
and damage to quality of final products resulted from import of pathogens from outside and
improper use of feed or medicines.
(3) Performing integrated disease prevention and control of turtles by using methods including:
mixed culture, planting of floating vascular bundle plant (Pistia stratiotes), and proper use of
microbial ecological agents to recover water environmental ecology�control of turtle-raising
density to reduce intimidate reaction and optimal densities of ponds for young and adult turtles;
and use of panimmunity activatorand growth promoting agents, called jointly as
immunopotentiator, to upgrade turtles’ stress resistance capacity. Scientific use of fishery
medicines within limitsof national and local governmental regulations and sectoral
26
regulationsshould be applied by using Chinese herbal medicine as priority choice and combining
it with chemical medicines, and using suitable medicine with accurate dosage based on drug
sensitivity tests, for the purpose timely prevention and control of diseases.

9Cost Estimate
Pest Management Plan (PMP) is an important part of the World Bank loan projectin Guzhen
Town.Considering its specificity in main tasks, objectives and technical approaches, the PMP
should be managed as a separate component of the daily work of the project office in the
process of overall project implementation. For effective implementation of the PMP, 1~2
special researches should be conducted to solve the key problems in the non-pesticide control
of the main pests. Costs for PMP implementation and the relevant researches should be
budgeted as part of the overalladministrative expenses of the PMO and agricultural, forestry
and aquatic culture institutionsto support technical training, information dissemination, safe
pesticide application, pest and disease monitoring, prediction and early warning, supervision
and monitoring, special researches and management.Costs for PMP implementation are
estimated to be 5.88 millionYuan, with breakdowns illustrated in the following tables:
