Seeds of Gold agronomists last week detailed the dangers of agri-chemicals to our crops. In today’s part 2, about the public health issues arising from mindless use of agricultural chemicals by farmers, agronomists advise farmers the best practices of using the chemicals that include pesticides and herbicides.
Smallholder farmers are the greatest producers of the food we eat but they have to constantly fight pests and crop diseases in order to get the food. This is mainly due to the warm and wet climate in the tropical region where we live which favours not only quick growth of crops but also rapid eruption of pests and diseases.
