Tijuana, Mexico (CNN) -- Hidden between tomato stalks, the
Mexican army found what officials describe as the largest marijuana
plantation in the nation, a top military official announced Thursday.
Gen.
Alfonso Duarte Mugica said the plantation six hours south of Tijuana is
168 times larger than the soccer field in Mexico City's Azteca Stadium.
It spans for 120 hectares (about 300 acres), he said.
Tomatoes growing there hid marijuana plants that were up to 2.5 meters (8.2. feet) tall, Duarte said.
Authorities
detained six people this week during the operation to seize the field,
which is located in the area of Ensenada, Baja California.
The
takeover means drug traffickers will not receive 1.8 billion pesos ($153
million), he said, apparently referring to an estimated sales value of
the crop.
Duarte said 250 soldiers will destroy the drugs seized within the next week.
Since
Mexican President Felipe Calderon's administration began in December
2006, officials have destroyed more than 83,251 hectares (206,000 acres)
of marijuana, according to a report from the country's defense
department.
