Muscat: An expat has been arrested for using non-agricultural pesticides to spray agricultural crops in North Al Batinah Governorate.

"Through field follow-up, the agricultural control team was able to arrest one of the expatriate workers using non-agricultural pesticides to spray agricultural crops. Accordingly, the legal measures were taken," the Directorate General of Agricultural, Fisheries and Water Resources in North Al Batinah Governorate said in a statement.

The danger of using non-agricultural pesticides in spraying crops is that it affects the quality and safety of agricultural products.
