In the Salamat region of Chad, farmers are resuming their activities as the waters of the Bahr-Azoum, a seasonal river used for fishing and agriculture, recede. The article examines the risks and benefits of using herbicides to clear fields, according to Tchadinfos.
In the province of Salamat, Chad, farmers are using herbicides to clear several hectares and prepare fields for cultivation, Tchadinfos reports. The practice is becoming more widespread as the waters of the Bahr-Azoum, a seasonal river that runs through the province, gradually recede.
The river supports fishing and agriculture during the rainy season, among other activities. Using chemicals makes it easier to prepare the land, but carries risks for those who use them.
