Special brigades to fight propagation of harmful insects
The brigades of the Ministry of Agriculture are beginning to spray special anti-insect liquids in the capital and the regions of Georgia to protect plants from grasshoppers and Italian locusts, the number of which has increased significantly in the country during the past few days. The brigades will poison the territories where the insects have emerged in very large numbers.
The brigades have already begun to work in the Kakheti and Kvemo Kartli Regions and will very shortly carry out poisoning procedures in Tbilisi. Aviation will be also involved in the work. Experts say the propagation of locusts and other harmful insects every few years is a natural phenomenon and is no ground for concern amongst the population.
