ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has planned to import pesticides from India to prevent a locust attack on crops.
As per media reports, the meetings in this regard are being conducted.
The country used to import the pesticides from India but the trade between the two has been suspended since 10th August 2019, just after when India revoked Indian occupied Kashmir’s special status.
Locusts are a collection of certain species of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae that have a swarming phase. They form bands of wingless nymphs which later become swarms of winged adults. Both the bands and the swarms move around and rapidly strip fields and cause damage to crops.
