Fighting locusts: the situation in two regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan remains difficult
Prolonged heavy rains and strong winds did not allow chemical treatment to be carried out in time
In Aktobe and Kostanay regions, the area of chemical treatment against locusts will be increased, as the situation in these regions remains difficult. This was announced by the Chairman of the Committee of State Inspection in the Agro-Industrial Complex of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan Darkhan Abdikarimov, Kazpravda.kz reports with reference to the press service of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
“Prolonged heavy rains and strong winds did not allow chemical treatment to be carried out in a timely manner and within the optimal time frame. Therefore, there is a possibility of increasing the area of processing. We plan to mobilize additional equipment locally. The required amount of drugs is available,” Darkhan Abdikarimov reported at the regular meeting of the Operational Headquarters on the implementation of protective measures against locust pests and quarantine facilities.
Following the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister instructed not to slow down the pace of monitoring surveys in these two areas and to strengthen them with additional equipment.
