Greece implements olive fruit fly control spraying programs
Agricultural authorities in Greece are conducting bait spraying programs to control olive fruit fly populations ahead of the olive harvest season.
In the Heraklion regional unit, specifically within the Malevizi municipality, spraying operations have been completed. These interventions were carried out across various communities, including Gazi, Kalesa, Rodia, Keramosi, Kamari, Korfes, Krousonas, Loutraki, and Sarcho, following schedules determined by weather conditions and trap data.
In Messinia, the Directorate of Agricultural Economy and Veterinary Medicine has scheduled extensive spraying operations. Programs are set for late October, covering numerous communities such as Agios Nikos, Lagada, Thourias, Ancient Messene, and Pylos. Authorities have advised olive growers to ensure access to fenced groves, remove obstacles and weeds, and clearly mark trees intended for early harvest to avoid accidental spraying. Beekeepers and livestock owners are also urged to take protective measures during these interventions.
