Agency Advises Farmers On Herbicides Usage
Programme Manager, Enugu State Agricultural Development Programme (ENADP), Mr Onyeme Nwodo, has advised farmers to use herbicides for weeding and bush clearing instead of bush burning.
Nwodo told The Tide source in Enugu on Sunday that the use of herbicide improves soil nutrient while bush burning scorch the soil nutrient.
He said that the state government had purchased quality herbicides that could kill all the weeds and grasses in the farm completely.
Nwodo said that ENADP was collaborating with local governments to sensitise the farmers on proper way of preparing land for farming.
