During the visit to Manpu Wangjen’s Maize-2 variety fields, the team found the growth and development of the crop satisfactory, “except infestation by insects,for which control measures were advocated,” the KVK informed in a release.

The team also observed irregular spacing of the crop,”where over-seeding was done,” and suggestedcorrective measures.

The team assured the farmer that the KVK would help him with seed and other critical inputs.
