&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Haryana professor writes to Union, State agriculture Ministers reharding issue&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gurugram: &lt;/em&gt;Prof. Rajinder Chaudhary, Advisor, Kudarti Kheti Abhiyan, Haryana has expressed disappointment over the fact that despite the known side-effects of aerial spraying of pesticides, the government&amp;rsquo;s locust control policy was focussed only on chemical spray.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He said they completly ignored non-chemical measures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a letter to the agriculture Ministers and agriculture secretaries of the Centre and Haryana, Prof. Chaudhary said a number of effective non-chemical remedies were suggested by experts from India and abroad, including Chintala Venkata Reddy, an organic farmer from Telangana, who was awarded the Padma Shri this year, to control locusts without serious side-effects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Safe measures&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Providing a list of these safe and effective measures along with references and sources in the letter, Prof. Chaudhary has requested the government to control locusts only through biological and non-chemical measures rather than hazardous chemical measures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;If chemical methods cannot be junked all together, then at least in the areas near the population and close to catchment and storage areas of waterbodies, the government must adopt the safer non-chemical measures instead of adopting chemical measures,&amp;rdquo; said Prof. Chaudhary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He also referred to a press note recently issued by the Centre indicating steps to increase its capacity for aerial spray of poisonous pesticides for locust control.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Haryana professor writes to Union, State agriculture Ministers reharding issue&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gurugram: &lt;/em&gt;Prof. Rajinder Chaudhary, Advisor, Kudarti Kheti Abhiyan, Haryana has expressed disappointment over the fact that despite the known side-effects of aerial spraying of pesticides, the government&amp;rsquo;s locust control policy was focussed only on chemical spray.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He said they completly ignored non-chemical measures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a letter to the agriculture Ministers and agriculture secretaries of the Centre and Haryana, Prof. Chaudhary said a number of effective non-chemical remedies were suggested by experts from India and abroad, including Chintala Venkata Reddy, an organic farmer from Telangana, who was awarded the Padma Shri this year, to control locusts without serious side-effects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Safe measures&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Providing a list of these safe and effective measures along with references and sources in the letter, Prof. Chaudhary has requested the government to control locusts only through biological and non-chemical measures rather than hazardous chemical measures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;If chemical methods cannot be junked all together, then at least in the areas near the population and close to catchment and storage areas of waterbodies, the government must adopt the safer non-chemical measures instead of adopting chemical measures,&amp;rdquo; said Prof. Chaudhary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He also referred to a press note recently issued by the Centre indicating steps to increase its capacity for aerial spray of poisonous pesticides for locust control.&lt;/p&gt;

Locust control: ‘govt. ignoring non-chemical measures’

-The Hindu Haryana professor writes to Union, State agriculture Ministers reharding issue Gurugram: Prof. Rajinder Chaudhary, Advisor, Kudarti Kheti Abhiyan, Haryana has expressed disappointment over the fact that despite the known side-effects of aerial spraying of pesticides, the government’s locust control policy was focussed only on chemical spray. He said they completly ignored non-chemical measures. In a letter to the agriculture Ministers and agriculture secretaries of the Centre and Haryana, Prof. Chaudhary said a number of effective non-chemical remedies were suggested by experts from India and abroad, including Chintala Venkata Reddy, an organic farmer from Telangana, who was awarded the Padma Shri this year, to control locusts without serious side-effects. Safe measures Providing a list of these safe and effective measures along with references and sources in the letter, Prof. Chaudhary has requested the government to control locusts only through biological and non-chemical measures rather than hazardous chemical measures. “If chemical methods cannot be junked all together, then at least in the areas near the population and close to catchment and storage areas of waterbodies, the government must adopt the safer non-chemical measures instead of adopting chemical measures,” said Prof. Chaudhary. He also referred to a press note recently issued by the Centre indicating steps to increase its capacity for aerial spray of poisonous pesticides for locust control. Please click here to read more.
