insecticides as prevention started on January 22, 2024 or continues 1 month already
Assessment: Crops were 100% infested with army worms, but the damage is still medium scale. Onions are also looking like twister, which is a sign of stress due to the disease, pest and frequent application of strong insecticides. However, if not prevented, the damage can rise to heavy damage at a short span of time.
Level of difficulty from 1-10: 9 because the Farmer is already reliant and hoping for the effect of insecticide. Farmer must agree that in using APO Biofertilizer he willbe required to stop using insecticides.
Recommendations:
APO Treatment from February 22 – March 1.
