Farmers are disoriented due to current-bug attack on Aman paddy in Chougacha of Jashore. Thousands of farmers of the upazila have been deprived of sleep by the current insect.
Aman rice has been attacked by this insect towards the end of this season. Farmers of upazila municipality and 11 unions are in trouble due to the spread of food in a short time.

Abdul Gafur, Abdur Razzak, farmer of Lashkarpur village of Chougacha Sadar Union, said that even after spraying 3 times, Aman paddy was not saved from the attack of this insect. Such a problem happened in the last Amon season as well, but the agriculture department did not take any action in this regard, said the farmer.
Salim Biswas and Anarul Islam of Gobindpur village of Pashapol union of the upazila said that most of the rice of my 36 Satak land has been destroyed due to the attack of the current insect.

This time some fields are attacked by currant insect, but the yield is much better than other times
