Following the health alert for the fruit fly, declared by the National Food Safety and Quality Service, the Directorate of Agriculture of the Province of Entre Ríos has authorized, through Resolution No. 2494 DA, the aerial application of biological products in the citrus massif for a period of ninety (90) days.
This measure will affect the departments of Concordia and Federación, and aims to reduce the fruit fly population, which represents a threat to the region's citrus production.
The product used will have low environmental impact and is formulated with specific repellents to protect bees.
For this reason, the Municipality of Concordia, through the Secretariat of Productive Development, held meetings with the authorities of the Citrus Growers Association and with those responsible for the production areas of the municipalities of the Department.
Seeking to control the pest through a joint strategy, adhesions were defined and actions were agreed upon for the aerial application of biological products, as established, with the objective of reducing the fruit fly population, which represents a threat to the region's citrus production, affecting local products and the regional economy.
