Colombia has announced a pilot plan to resume aerial spraying of illicit crops using glufosinate ammonium, replacing the previously used glyphosate. The program, limited to 1,000 hectares over seven days in Putumayo, aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the new herbicide. Critics argue it's more of a political gesture than a solution, citing concerns about the herbicide's classification as 'moderately dangerous' by the WHO and doubts about its effectiveness against coca crops.
