Poisonous invasion: What is the ‘devil’s trumpet’ harming crops in Iraq?

The Iraqi Interior Ministry has issued a warning regarding the spread of datura, commonly known as the 'devil's trumpet,' which poses a threat to local crops. Farmers and citizens are urged to report sightings of this poisonous plant to mitigate its impact on agriculture in the region.

The proliferation of datura is concerning for Iraq's agricultural sector, as it can harm crops and disrupt food production. The Interior Ministry's call for public vigilance highlights the need for community involvement in addressing this invasive species, which could have broader implications for food security in Iraq.
