Olive fly impacts farmers experts advise control
Engineer Kamal Shaaban, head of the Agricultural Guidance Cell in Chouab, provides guidance regarding Olive Sore Disease in Tunisia. He explains that its appearance dates back to the 1980s and is linked to factors such as climatic conditions and injuries sustained by the trees, which allow the bacteria that cause the disease to enter. The symptoms of the disease include the appearance of tumors and woody swellings on branches and twigs. Farmers are advised to avoid harvesting olives with sticks, remove infected parts, and regularly disinfect pruning tools. They are also encouraged to cooperate with relevant authorities when symptoms are suspected, in order to limit the spread of the disease and protect agricultural production.
