Work intensified to spray mosquito repellents in Valparai


Coimbatore: Tea is cultivated in an area of about 50,000 acres in Valparai, Coimbatore district. It has been raining in Valparai for the last two weeks. For the last two days, the rains have stopped and the sun has been shining.



These mosquitoes lay their eggs at the base of the tea plant and hatch and absorb the sap from the leaves of the tea plant. Due to this, the production of tea plants is affected. To prevent this, tea plantation administrations are actively involved in spraying mosquito repellents. Mosquito repellent is being actively used by modern machines both in the morning and in the evening
