The head of PPRS is the technical adviser to the minister for food and agriculture on plant protection. Due to one person, ing Boamah and his wife Milly the PPRS has lost its focus yet the minister seems to have no balls to ensure a competent officer is appointed to head the division-PPRSD. Its true that NPP is in power but NDC is pulling the strings.

Your reporter might want to take a lesson in entomology and it would stop misinformation from being spread.

First, armyworms are insects. Secondly, the active ingredient in Dursban is chlorpyrifos which does control armyworms. Dursban is a Dow Chemical tradename chlorpyrifos. That tradename is usually used for structural pest control uses. Lorsban is the other Dow Chemical tradename which commonly used for agricultural purposes such as armyworms.
