The government has launched a series of guidelines about pest control for five top crops in Malta - tomatoes, potatoes, olives, grapes and strawberries. 

Agriculture Minister Anton Refalo, who launched the Integrated Pest Management guidelines at a press conference on Thursday, said the recommendations form part of the €2 million AGRIHUB project, launched in 2020. 

The IPM, he said, ensured pest control with minimal impact on the environment.
