Maize farms in the Ashanti region under attack by Fall Army Worm


It has been confirmed that there is a re-emergence of the Fall Army Worm on maize farms in the Ashanti region. 

This follows a visit to some affected farms in the region to ascertain the level of infestation and havoc being wreaked by the pests. 

It emerged however, that an early application of the recommended agro chemicals on the maize farms can substantially subdue the destructive worms. 

Our Correspondent, Nicholas Osei-Wusu, who has been closely monitoring the development following the start of this year’s major cropping season says, the Ashanti Regional Directorate of Agriculture has suggested that the situation is not alarming.
