Off The Beaten Path: Crop sprayers
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Gezira area is agricultural land, so farming is still the main occupation. Since the Gezira Scheme was established by the British in the 1920s ,tenants have rented land to grow cotton, sorghum, peanuts and vegetables, as well as wheat, rice and sesame.
    Because cotton particularly is vulnerable to pests, the crop is sprayed from the air. Small aircraft can be seen flying in the appropriate season, or parked in a field at other times.

     Shane- interesting page on this unknown (to me) place. The scorpion & cemetary tips are particuarly interesting. However- from your shopping tip-well-I would NOT be tempted to buy spare parts & tyres lol!

     Interesting mosques and gubbas. The cemeteries look different from the European ones, but do we need anything more after death? I didn't realise travelling on Sudanese roads can be so dangerous, and when I think of the scorpions... Interesting updates.

     Learnt more of life in Sudan after reading this page. Thanks for sharing. At least, it is easy to play football so much open space.
