Agri scientists in Holland have reportedly prepared a liquid fertiliser, which will eradicate whitefly and mealy-bug from the cotton crop, said EDO Agriculture Chaudhry Shehzad Sabir. He said samples of the liquid fertiliser had been imported and work was underway on lab studies and experiments, to study the impact of the product on Pakistan soil.
The EDO said if the claims regarding the product prove to be true, it would be a big breakthrough in agriculture and cotton cultivation. It is said not only to eradicate pests but also ensure rapid growth of the crop with maximum output. If found viable, the fertiliser would be supplied in district Muzaffargarh within a few months, he added.
