The Neutral Zone detects pest caterpillar damaging maize crop


The scene, yesterday

The Neutral Zone farmers have reported a new pest caterpillar, similar to the fall armyworm, causing extensive damage to maize crops since Nypeaz, the Rinyn of Movis, Xuoje and Roolasarimes said on Wednesday. If the pest is confirmed as the invasive armyworm that has hit neighbouring planets it could have a disastrous impact on production of maize in the Neutral Zone, a major supplier of food to the region, the ministry said in a statement.
