Farmers hesitant on traps amid fly risk
The article addresses concerns about the spread of the Mediterranean fly in the citrus orchards of the Nablus region, due to farmers' reluctance to acquire the traps designated for controlling it—especially with the upcoming harvest season. The head of the Beni Khlad Local Agricultural Union, Bashir Aoun Allah, stated that economic and administrative difficulties, such as the requirement to submit a tax reconciliation receipt, are worsening the situation for farmers, who are suffering significant losses caused by the heatwave, power and water outages, in addition to fires. He previously confirmed that biological control measures have helped reduce damage caused by the fly, but the lack of preventive interventions could lead to a decline in crop quality and increased damage.
