Call for 7.5 million euros to fight the virus that, in Sicily, hit an Italian treasure: the cultivation of red oranges. We talked about it with Gaetano Pecoraro, who went to the farmers whose fields were destroyed by the epidemic
The call for investment support for the restoration of Sicilian citrus groves affected by the Sadness virus is open . This is the epidemic hit the harvests of Sicilian red oranges which we talked about in a report Gaetano Pecoraro of October 10, 2017. "In two, three months, the virus you plant the plant, "said a farmer.
The allocated resources are 7.5 million euros which, in addition to the virus Tristezza, will be used for orchards affected by the fire blight of the Sharka virus
The sadness, as "Our Hyena explains in the service, was born in Southeast Asia and has been known for over a hundred years. It happens to hit Brazil, Argentina, the United States, for disembark, in 2000, in Sicily . Once it reaches the plant, the disease dries the tree in a short time, preventing the sap from reaching the leaves and fruits.
We met Nino, Filippo, Rosario and many others Sicilian farmers produce an Italian treasure, "red gold of Sicily" red orange, of which production was strongly affected by the epidemic of sadness. The disease, if taken in time, could be countered. But, as farmers have explained to our Hyena, the individual farmer can not fight it alone: " To eradicate sick trees it takes money and 5 years of work without producing any oranges. Nobody can do it without the help of the state or region. "
And since the state funds were late in arriving , Gaetano Pecoraro went to speak to the Minister of Policies of the Environment and Forestry, Maurizio Martina .
