HOW DO YOU KEEP INSECTS AWAY FROM SOYBEANS?

Soybean is a hardy crop, however, it attracts insects as soon as it flowers. Farmers need to keep a watch for diseases and insect infestations. Soybean typically doesn’t get diseases if the field is new, however, if the same field is used repeatedly, the crop becomes susceptible to diseases. Insects can be taken care of by using an insecticide as soon as you notice Aphids or Bollworms. A preventive spray programme too can be used to avoid such problems in the first place.

Maintaining healthy soil and using good quality hybrid seeds such as ZAMSEED’s Lukanga variety too can ensure the crops grow healthy and resistant to diseases.

ADVANTAGE COWPEA: 5 REASONS TO PLANT THIS HARDY CROP

1. is a short-duration crop that gets ready for harvest within 110-115 days.
2. The seeds have a long shelf-life and do well in the market.
3. Cowpeas can be planted all over Zambia and perform well in stressful conditions.
4. The crop needs very little fertilization because it fixes its own nitrogen.
5. Because of its short duration, the crop rarely gets diseases.

Plant 20-30 kg per hectare of Zamseed’s Mutembwe cowpeas to get the highest yields.

Note: Protect cowpeas from insects such as beetles, aphids, and weevils, which attack the pods. Insecticide application should be done before flowering.
