How to control  maize disease  using actellic (primophos methyl) 2 percent dust for proper protection against damage.
1. One and half large match-box full of acetilic dust and should be measured.
2. The walls and floor of rumbu or granary must be cleaned thoroughly.
3. About 22.73 kg of threshed grains equivalent of cobs should be spread in the store
4. The dust should be sprinkled evenly over the cobs in store

Advantages of Technology in agriculture

                                                                                Advantages of technology in agriculture include expediting crop production rate and crop quantity, which in turn reduces costs of production for farmers and food costs for consumers, and even makes crops more nutritious and livestock bigger and meatier. Technology in agriculture produces benefits for small-scale farms and national farming operations alike. These technologies include using environmentally sound and sustainable farming methods, such as no-till agriculture, and sophisticated equipment, including biotechnology. Biotechnology serves as an evaluative and forecasting tool, helping farmers address issues like poor soil conditions, lower crop output and low nutritional value. Biotechnology lets humans...
