Tartous-Sana
The Department of Biological Control in the Tartous Agriculture Directorate launched for the first time this year the vital enemy, the Nile flower weevil, in the areas of the appearance of the flower in several locations on the Al-Abrash and Al-Arous rivers.
The head of the biological control department in the Tartous Agriculture Directorate, Eng. Samer Shallouf, explained that 1,200 whole insects were spread in the mentioned sites, with the aim of early dumping of the biological enemy on Nile flower plants before the start of the plant's activity boom.
He pointed out that the process of releasing the vital enemy at this time aims to find a balance between the insect community and the plant, as the earlier we release the vital enemies, the more we can control the flower's activity and prevent it from reaching its peak activity.
He added that the Department of Biological Control is responsible for education and for spreading the enemy, as they are raised in greenhouses belonging to the Department, and the release takes place in the places where the Nile flower spreads, pointing out that next month, the vital enemies will be released twice and perhaps more, according to the quantities of production in the Department.
