In order to maintain a safe phytosanitary condition in our area, special planned events are held. Explanatory work is being carried out with the SHTP on phytosanitary requirements and methods of controlling particularly dangerous pests. In order to increase the productivity of agricultural products, in order to improve the quality of goods,special measures are taken against especially dangerous pests that require increased responsibility of persons who use pesticides. These activities require a lot of responsibility. When making changes and additions to some legislative acts on the regulation of the agro-industrial complex, information works are carried out for the information of agricultural ENTERPRISES and the population of rural districts.

Within the competence of local Executive bodies of regions (cities of Republican status, capital) the addition was made: the organization and carrying out of phytosanitary measures for the suppression of grasshoppers pests with population above economic threshold fall within the competence of local Executive authorities (article 9 of PP 4-1 of the Law "On plant protection" Law).

Accordingly, article 20 of the Law (Sources of funding for plant protection measures) is supplemented with paragraph 8: the purchase of pesticides, services for their storage, transportation, and chemical treatment of locust infestations with populations above the economic threshold of harmfulness will be carried out at the expense of budget funds.

Article 20 Of the law "Financing of plant protection measures" has been amended to Finance phytosanitary measures.

According to paragraph 1 of paragraph 2.4 of this article, the purchase of pesticides and chemical treatment services against herd locust pests (Asian, Moroccan and Italian Prus) is carried out at the expense of budget funds.

Phytosanitary measures against harmful, especially dangerous harmful organisms, with the exception of measures against herd and non-herd locust pests, are carried out at the expense of economic entities (paragraph 3 of article 20).

According to article 14-5 of the Law, individuals and legal entities whose activities are related to the objects of state phytosanitary control must: conduct phytosanitary monitoring and phytosanitary measures and prevent the development and spread of harmful and especially dangerous harmful organisms with a population above the economic threshold of harmfulness. Now individuals and legal entities will be required to carry out phytosanitary measures against especially dangerous harmful organisms on their territories.

According to article 7. The law "About state regulation of development of agroindustrial complex and rural territories" will be

subsidizing the cost of pesticides, biological agents (entomophages) for treatment against harmful and especially dangerous harmful organisms with populations above the economic threshold. The implementation of subsidies is the responsibility of local Executive bodies (akimats) of regions, cities of national significance, and the capital.

State phytosanitary control includes control over: compliance with the requirements of the technical regulations on the safety of plant protection products (pesticides) in the production (formulation), storage, sale and use of pesticides, as well as regulations on the use of pesticides specified in the list of pesticides. The state phytosanitary control excluded control over the transportation of pesticides and introduced control over the sale of pesticides.

In connection with the introduction of control over the sale of pesticides, article 707 of the administrative Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan was supplemented, according to which the authorized body in the field of plant protection and its local divisions consider cases of administrative offenses provided for in articles 297, 377, 403, 415 (subparagraph 1) of part one) (in terms of violation of the requirements of technical regulations in the field of pesticide turnover) of this Code.

To implement state phytosanitary control, the competence of state plant protection inspectors has been expanded. The inspectors are responsible for sampling. Individuals and legal entities are required to ensure access of state inspectors to the objects of state phytosanitary control.

In order to maintain a safe phytosanitary situation in our region, all the changes and additions made to the regulation of the agro-industrial complex in the future should be used in the work of the district agricultural and industrial complex.
