Ngenxa yokunqongophala okukhulu kwabasebenzi kurhulumente, njengoko amafama etshintshela ukutyalwa ngokuthe ngqo kwerayisi yembewu (DSR), iPunjab kufuneka ibeke imichiza yokutshabalalisa ukhula kwangaphambili (efana nechrysanthemum).
Abasemagunyeni baqikelela ukuba umhlaba ophantsi kwe-DSR uya kwanda amaxesha amathandathu kulo nyaka, ufikelele malunga ne-3-3.5 yeebhiliyoni zeehektare.Ngo-2019, amafama alime iihektare ezingama-50,000 kuphela ngendlela ye-DSR.
Igosa eliphezulu kwisebe lezolimo elicele ukuba lingachazwa igama lingqinele ukunqongophala okuzayo.Urhulumente uneelitha ezimalunga nama-400,000 e-pendimethalin, eyanele kuphela iihektare ezingama-150,000.
Iingcali kwicandelo lezolimo zivumile ukuba ngenxa yokukhula okuphezulu kokhula ekulinyweni kwe-DSR, i-pendimethalin kufuneka isetyenziswe kwiiyure ezingama-24 emva kokuhlwayela.
Inkokeli yemveliso yenkampani eyenza imichiza yokutshabalalisa ukhula yathi ezinye izithako ezisetyenziswa kwi-pendimethalin zazingeniswa kwamanye amazwe, ngoko ke ukuveliswa kwemveliso yeekhemikhali kuchatshazelwa ngubhubhani we-Covid-19.
Wongeze wathi: "Ngaphezu koko, akukho mntu wayelindele ukuba imfuno ye-pendimethalin inyuke iye kweli nqanaba kwiinyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala zalo nyaka."
UBalwinder Kapoor, umthengisi wasePatiala ongumnini wemichiza, wathi: “Abathengisi abakhange bafake iiodolo ezinkulu kuba ukuba amafama afumanisa ukuba le ndlela inzima kakhulu, imveliso ayinakuthengiswa.Inkampani ikwalumkile malunga nokuveliswa kweekhemikhali ngobuninzi.Isimo sengqondo.Oku kungaqiniseki kuthintela imveliso kunye nokubonelela. ”
“Ngoku, iinkampani zifuna ukuhlawulwa kwangaphambili.Ngaphambili, babeza kuvumela ixesha letyala leentsuku ezingama-90.Abathengisi abanamali kwaye ukungaqiniseki kusondele, ngenxa yoko bayala ukufaka iiodolo,” utshilo uKapoor.
IBharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) uNobhala weLizwe laseRajwal u-Onkar Singh Agaul uthe: “Ngenxa yokunqongophala kwabasebenzi, amafama ayamkele ngomdla indlela ye-DSR.Amafama kunye noshishino lokulima lwengingqi baguqula izityali zengqolowa ukuze zibonelele ngokhetho olukhawulezayo nolunexabiso eliphantsi.Ummandla otyalwe kusetyenziswa indlela ye-DSR unokuba phezulu kakhulu kunoko kulindelwe ngabasemagunyeni.
Uthe: "Urhulumente kufuneka aqinisekise ukuba kukho amayeza okubulala ukhula okwaneleyo kwaye anqande ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kunye nokuphindaphinda ngexesha lemfuno ephezulu."
Nangona kunjalo, amagosa esebe lezolimo athi amafama akufuneki akhethe ngokumfamekileyo iindlela zeDSR.
“Abalimi kufuneka bafune ulwalathiso lweengcali phambi kokuba basebenzise indlela yeDSR, kuba obu bugcisa bufuna izakhono ezahlukeneyo, kuquka ukukhetha umhlaba ofanelekileyo, ukusebenzisa imichiza yokutshabalalisa ukhula ngobulumko, ixesha lokutyala kunye neendlela zokunkcenkceshela,” lalumkisa igosa leSebe lezoLimo.
USS Walia, iGosa eliyiNtloko lezoLimo lasePatiala, uthe: "Ngaphandle kweentengiso kunye nezilumkiso malunga nokwenza kwaye ungakwenzi, abalimi banomdla kakhulu nge-DSR kodwa abaziqondi izibonelelo kunye nemiba yobugcisa."
UMlawuli weSebe lezoLimo u-Sutantar Singh (uSutantar Singh) uthe inkonzo igcina uqhagamshelwano neenkampani zokuvelisa i-herbicide kwaye amafama akayi kujongana nokunqongophala kwehlathi le-pentamethylene.
Wathi: “Nasiphi na isibulali-zinambuzane okanye imichiza yokutshabalalisa ukhula kwi-ing, siya kujongana ngokungqongqo nokunyuka kwamaxabiso neengxaki eziphindaphindwayo.”
