As-Suwayda - Sana
The Directorate of Agriculture in As-Suwayda has completed the free control operations of the sunn pest within the areas planted with wheat and harvestable for the current season.
The head of the Directorate's Prevention Department, Engineer Hatem Al-Barbour, told SANA reporter that the areas covered by the control operations amounted to 9,570 dunums and were concentrated in the western region of the governorate and the villages of Rasas and Ara.
Sunna pest infestation leads to damages represented in the decrease in the weight of wheat grains and the low specifications of the resulting flour.
