Black Beetle?

Don1 said:

I have been told recently that swarms of black beetle have hit the islands and rice growers have had their new crops demolished. Can anyone tell me if this is accurate or if not what the current position is in regard to rice growing. With particular reference to the area around Nagua.

Thanks

Beetle? plague in rice? Not to my knowledge. Maybe you are confusing the crop. There is a beetle infestation in local coffee, called 'broca', but it's much under control... However, a new rice plague cannot be discarded, or the fact that many plagues are 'man-made', in order to promote and sell patented genetically engineered varieties inmune to the new plague or that respond easily to newly patented pesticides also sold by the owners of the patented engineered seed makers...
