The Directorate of Agriculture in Deir ez-Zor confirmed that the general condition of the cotton crop in all parts of the governorate is good, and no insect infestations were recorded in the fields.

The Director of Agriculture, Engineer Abdel Hamid Abdel Hamid, said in a statement to SANA reporter today that the condition of the cotton crop, which is currently in the flowering phase, is good and heralds a distinguished season, after the requirements of agricultural production were secured for the farmers and the distribution of seeds of the type (Deir 22) to them, which is the approved and appropriate variety for the nature of the soil and weather in the governorate .

He explained that the cultivated area amounted to 4,216 hectares, and the crop's condition is continuously monitored by the Prevention Department to avoid any infection.

Abdul Hamid pointed out that this year, the Directorate experimented with organic production of the cotton crop through the completion of an organic field in Al-Mayadin in the eastern countryside with the aim of generalizing this experiment in the governorate, which depends on the production of a clean agricultural crop free of chemical inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.

Abdel Hamid pointed out that coordination is taking place between the Directorate of Agriculture, the Farmers Union and the governorate to secure irrigation water and complete the required irrigations for agricultural lands by providing electric current to agricultural engines operating on electricity and securing fuel for diesel engines.

For their part, a number of farmers praised the support provided to the agricultural sector, especially the cotton crop, by providing them with appropriate seeds and continuous follow-up of the fields to investigate any infection and provide irrigation water, stressing that the cotton crop is the most important for them because of its high productivity that brings them economic benefit.

It is noteworthy that the quantity of cotton marketed by the farmers of Deir ez-Zor for the last agricultural season amounted to 10,15 tons.
