BAGAN SERAI: A total of 112 paddy farmers in three villages here suffered losses amounting to RM24,000 when their crops were attacked by brown planthoppers and a few diseases. State Plantation, Agriculture and Food Industry Committee chairman Razman Zakaria said the attack involved 79 hectares of paddy fields in Kampung Parit Haji Ali, Parit Mentara and Alor Pongsu in Compartment F. He said the attack was carried through the wind and caused browning of leaves and half-filled or empty grain. “Apart from the brown planthoppers, the paddy growers are also facing attacks from diseases including bacterial leaf blight and pests such as rice bugs and Asiatic rice borers,” he said in a press conference at Surau Al-Firdaus in Parit Haji Ali after visiting the sites here, today.
