Can ICTs be used to fight pests’ outbreaks (for example Fall Armyworm?)
Submitted by Jaishanker Nair on Fri, 03/23/2018 - 13:29
Whilst mobils Apps like (BIOTA - see Playstore) can play a great role in our efforts to curb FAW. ICT, in most cases are only as intelligent as the person behind it.
Let me draw a corollary to a common in-flight announced " the nearest escape door may be even behind you".
The best way to win over (or subdue pests/diseases) often lies outside the recognised cropping season. Hope you got the point.
