이날 행사에는 공무원과 친환경 벼 생산자단체 등 20여 명이 참여해, 왕우렁이 관리요령 교육을 통해 올바른 관리 방법을 숙지한 후, 논 물떼기 과정에서 유출된 농경지 및 농수로 주변의 왕우렁이를 수거했다. 또한, 논 주변의 왕우렁이 알도 제거하여 재생산을 막기위한 조치를 취했다.
외래종인 왕우렁이는, 토종 우렁이에 비해 섭식력과 번식력이 월등하고, 기후 온난화 등으로 월동하면서 생태교란종으로 논란이 지속되고 있다. 하지만 현재 친환경 벼 재배 농가에 우렁이 농법을 대체할 친환경 벼 제초방법이 없어, 관리가 무엇보다 중요하다.
최명한 농업기술센터 소장은 “친환경 벼 재배농가에 배부된 단계별 우렁이 관리 매뉴얼을 숙지하여, 왕우렁이가 자연 생태계로 유출되지 않도록 농업인들의 적극적인 협조와 참여를 바란다”고 당부했다.

Changwon Special City, collection of exotic giant snails
The Changwon Special City Agricultural Technology Center announced on the 30th that it held an event to collect large snails for weeding in an eco-friendly rice cultivation complex in Jukdong-ri, Dong-eup, Uichang-gu.
About 20 people, including public officials and eco-friendly rice producer groups, participated in the event. After learning about the correct management methods through training on management tips for giant snails, they collected giant snails from around farmland and agricultural waterways that had leaked during the process of irrigating rice fields. In addition, measures were taken to prevent reproduction by removing snail eggs around the rice fields.
The king snail, an invasive species, has a superior feeding and reproductive capacity compared to native snails, and as it winters due to climate warming, controversy continues as to whether it is an ecologically disturbing species. However, there is currently no eco-friendly rice weeding method to replace snail farming in eco-friendly rice farms, so management is more important than anything else.
Choi Myeong-han, director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “We hope that farmers will actively cooperate and participate by familiarizing themselves with the step-by-step snail management manual distributed to eco-friendly rice farmers and preventing the snails from leaking into the natural ecosystem.” <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스경남 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
