100,000 Spanish dead in pandemic: PSOE-Podemos regime ends restrictions
Over 100,000 people have died in Spain as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to Spain’s National Institute of Statistics (INE), an official state agency.
The INE reports that in the year between 9 February 2020 and 13 February 2021, there were a total of 471,447 deaths in Spain, 103,512 more than in the same period the previous year. February 13 also marked a year since the first officially recognised coronavirus death in Spain, that of a 69-year-old man from the town of L’Eliana, Valencia, recently returned from a trip to Nepal.

Local Mediterranean fly achieves effective control on aphids in strawberry crops
A small fly, native of the Mediterranean area, called
Sphaerophoria rueppellii, has become the most effective biological control solution against aphids in strawberries and other berries (blueberries, raspberries and blackberries). At just over 1 centimeter in size, this fly is a voracious predator of all aphid species and is already present in hundreds of hectares devoted to the production of berries in the province of Huelva. Its presence in strawberry fields has been growing significantly during this 2020/2021 campaign.
The syrphid
Sphaerophoria rueppellii, which Koppert markets under the trademark PredaNostrum®, has been shown to be able to stop the aphid when the protocol applied by Koppert technicians is followed.
