Mednine initiates olive fly control campaign
The Regional Directorate for Agricultural Development in Medenine has launched a campaign to combat the olive fruit fly in the areas of Zarzis, South Medenine, and Sidi M'khlaou. Ground control methods are being used. Monitoring operations have been carried out since the end of April, and the results led to chemical treatment measures on 60,000 olive trees across 7 of the 14 monitoring stations, aiming to protect the crops amid expectations of a modest yield this season. Farmers were invited to be present during the treatment to ensure its effectiveness in reducing the spread of the pest.
