| The City Council places larvae in more than 1,000 robinias, jacarandas and tipuanas that will be in charge of eliminating the harmful insects for the trees.
It is what is known as biological fight | The Parks and Gardens Service, which reports to the Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration led by José Guillén, continues to bet on keeping the trees in Murcia's parks in the best condition. To do this, this week we have begun to place in boxes of more than 1,000 specimens with insects, about to hatch or hatched, which are predators of other insects harmful to trees.
This is what is known as biological control.
In total, about 50,000 larvae are being used.
This treatment avoids the use of harmful chemicals such as insecticides, thus avoiding health problems and improving the environment. "Nature is the one that best controls and balances the biological cycle.
It is a technique that is totally respectful with the environment and that is carried out at this time due to the suitability of temperatures.
We try to keep the trees in perfect conditions guaranteeing the safety of the neighbors We also try to make them grow healthy so that they can be enjoyed by all the families that visit the parks every day as a meeting and meeting place, "explains Councilor José Guillén.This strategy seeks to comply with the so-called 'biological control of populations' and preserve more than a thousand specimens that meet the ideal conditions for their treatment, among which are robinias, jacarandas and tipuanas.Among the streets in which it is going to act are several of the city and districts such as the Jardín del Secano in Torreagüera, the Avenida de Floridablanca or the Jardín del Salitre.
In this way it also contributes to reducing dirt in cars, streets and public squares.
