Yanchev: Over 200 thousand decares are the affected areas of the fall armyworm.

"Significant areas have been affected by the Western corn rootworm, over 200,000 decares, specifically in 8 regions. Many municipalities and land areas are affected. For these areas, in my opinion, a focused assistance similar to the mechanism within the winter spraying for fruit crops, where part of the costs incurred by farmers is compensated, can be implemented," commented Deputy Minister of Agriculture Yanislav Yanchev on the possibilities for supporting farmers in the fight against the Western corn rootworm during the agro-seminar of the National Association of Grain Producers (NAGP).
