@Fredmunene_ Solution
1. Use well dried manure
2. Use Entomopathogenic nematodes
3. Use chemica drench as a last solution.

[Silas Bett @SilasBett]

@Fredmunene_ Before finding a solution to a problem, a keen farmer needs to understand the source of these grab worms. These are the larval stage of beetle species. This problem is high for the farms where livestock manure is highly used

@NationAfrica Its funny how you do your research! How about the Hebrew Calendar? They had months with days and the only difference is because we use Gregorian calendar which is from the Roman Empire.

Excited to observe #Pasteuria penetrans parasitizing Root-knot nematodes in nature. Sample from #Hypericum in Kenya

@StandardKenya The traffic act should be ammended to allow children of 12 years to be drivers, they can be life savers when no one can help. However, this was CBC guru in practical session 🤗

@Fredmunene_ You're welcome!

[Silas Bett @SilasBett]

@Fredmunene_ This is Botrytis affecting the capsicum. Despite high humidity being the major cause, thrips plays a crucial role in creating avenues for the secondary infection. So if you manage thrips well, you can reduce the levels of Botrytis significantly. Further, maintain hygiene!
