Damascus-Sana

The Ministry of Agriculture announced that insect pests and diseases were controlled in more than 32 thousand hectares with pheromone traps, 230 hectares of mechanics, and 166 thousand hectares of chemists during 2019.

The Director of Plant Protection at the Ministry of Agriculture, Eng. Fahr Musharraf, stated in a statement to SANA that the ministry is adopting new methods that are far from chemical control, by relying on the production of its centers from the biological product "Tercoderma" located in the governorates of Hama, Lattakia and Tartous.

Musharraf said that the ministry is working to increase the production of biological preparations and expand the integrated and biological control of wilt disease in greenhouses and orchards, thereby contributing to reducing the use of chemical pesticides and achieving food and environmental safety.

Musharraf pointed out that the ministry has completed the project of breeding the vital enemies of the Nile flower in the governorates of Tartous and Hama, and will publish it at the whereabouts of this scourge to combat it during the current year.
