AGRICULTURAL NEWS - Farmers have been urged to remain alert to the presence of fall armyworm (FAW) during the 2019/2020 crop production season, and to regularly scout their crops for larvae and eggs in their lands.
Roedolf Nieuwenhuis, owner of Crop Watch Africa, told Farmer’s Weekly that based on historical data collected by the company, large quantities of moths were detected in traps during the same period the previous season.
“If farmers are observing moth activity in their traps, it is very important to go scouting for eggs and larvae,” he warned.
