Like i was pondering and pillaging though the dustbin of my memory trying to chronologise my thought in he right order i think this is another one that i thnk is worth metioning.
my previous article, quite evident my dear waston, i did mention about an amazing bug. Well here it is and coincidently as it may seem i just finshed reading an article on the use of insecticides to destroy this bug. Well the bug in itself is so tiny it is rather difficult to actually spot the little bugger.... An apt useage would be little sucker... Not that it gives me pleasure in wanting to be too offensive, it is the nature of the bug! too small to be easily visible to the human eye but the effects of which is not only visible to the human eye but devastating to a plantation. Honestly speaking i have no clue to its biological name, genre, cadre, origin and cycles.
This little fella lives within the branches of the coffee plant and makes a meal fo the xylem and phylem of the plant. As a result of this the whole branch turns brown ie; dead. the feast does not end there. the bug actually makes its way through the branch and finally into the coffee bean and eats up the seed. the deceased coffe bean looks almost similiar to a ripe one but the difference is easily noticable.
After a few days of witnessing this i happen to read an article on how now-a-days coffee is better with the nose and not the mouth. the article even had a good tag line to it. It went something like this "have you ever wondered why they say wake up and smell the coffee and not drink it!!!
I would not really be a favoured reader of the article but it did have one reference to the amazing bug we are on right now. apparently the indian armer uses a pestcide called Lindane to get rid of this insect borers, a chmical banned in 55 countries across the world! wow that was an interesting insight and also as you kow th article kept going on and on and on on the harmful effects chemicals and the reasons it is bad for humans.....
Well like i began this is one little mite that is in possession of great might.
