Al-Hasakah-SANA
Laboratory analyzes at the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform proved that the Turkish-origin wheat seed, which was provided by the US occupation forces through the so-called “USAID Agency” to farmers in several areas in the Qamishli countryside, is invalid.
In a statement to SANA reporter between the Director of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform in Al-Hasakah, Eng. Saeed Jaji, that the directorate “sent a sample of wheat seeds provided by the American occupation to the laboratories of the Ministry of Agriculture, and it was found that they are not suitable for cultivation due to the high rate of nematodes, which reached 40 percent, which constitutes a great danger to agriculture.” in the region, especially as its effects cause great harm, which will worsen over time.”
Jaji warned peasants and farmers in the countryside of Qamishli and the region against dealing with this seed of Turkish origin, calling to destroy it and not plant it because its damage will continue for years and cause an epidemic of agricultural lands and remove them from investment.
The Al-Hasakah Farmers Union had warned the people and farmers against the seeds of unknown origin, calling not to deal with them and not to plant them, as they are not suitable for cultivation and will be a cause of agricultural pests that remove the land from investment.
