AgroPages-Bacteria threaten rice crop in Costa Rica-Agricultural news

A bacterium known as a powerful threat is rotting the rice crop in Costa Rica, said the State Phytosanitary Service.

Some 30 000 hectares may be lost due to the microscopic enemy, identified a few weeks ago in the Guanacaste area in the west of the country.

The agency confirmed that the rice was infected, and they are still waiting for the registration of a product to counteract the damage caused by the bacteria. The bacterium has affected other countries like the Dominican Republic.
