An average of 35 % of potential crop yield is lost to pre-harvest pests. At the same time, agriculture has to meet rising demand for food. The increase in agricultural production can only be met when pesticides are used to double the yields #DoubleYields #GetInputInformed
Crop quantity and quality rely on crop protection. Without fungicides, Kenyan yields of most fruit and vegetables would fall by 50-90%. Use the recommended and approved pesticides from your agro vet.
