Fri, 3rd Sep 2010 - Locust Spray Delay Concerns
The State Government is working with organic farmers across Northern Victoria to ensure they are ready for the war on locusts. Agriculture Minister Joe Helper said despite a production delay, growers of organic fruit and vegetables are being assured that supplies of the chemical Green Guard will arrive before hatchings are predicted. Meanwhile, Nationals Member for Rodney, Paul Weller, has warned that a shortage of bio-insecticide to fight the threat of locusts on organic farms could threaten bio-dynamic dairy farmers in northern Victoria. He said since the locusts laid their eggs in autumn this year, there was the potential for the worst locust plague in 75 years. Mr Weller said the government has not acted quickly enough and has ignored advice from experts to have sufficient supplies of the bio-insecticide Green Guard on hand.
