FARM UPDATE

Congratulations group 10 farmers upon successfully training on farm management and first weeding. Crops are looking good and promising

Early first weeding is always recommended as it helps to fight competition between weeds and crops for sunlight, nutrients and space which limits plant growth

Next step is top dressing of maize and foliar application on crops to boost performance
