Beware of Fall Armyworm – Extension Officer

+
Prosper Mensah, the Yendi Municipal Agricultural Extension Officer has advised farmers to beware of Fall Armyworm (FAW) which can destroy a lot of crops in their farms within hours.
He called on them to check on the early signs or symptoms of FAW infestation, which include; eggs on the upper/lower surface of leaves, stems, non-plant materials and nearby vegetation.
He reminded them that eggs could be cream, green or brown in and they were usually covered with anal hairs which were white in colour giving it a mouldy appearance.
Mr Mensah gave the advice when he educated 20 Farmer Representatives on farming practices of Yendi Multi-stakeholder Committee third Quarterly meeting organized by Tropenbos Ghana, one of the partners of the Research for Development and Innovation Agriculture and Learning (ReDIAL) Project funded by the European Union (EU) at Yendi in the Northern Region.
