The Dormaa East District Agricultural Director, Madam Gertrude Adjei Boateng, and some district officers, have embarked on field visits in the operational areas of Agricultural Extension Agents.
The visits, which commenced at Asuotiano, afforded the team the opportunity to interact with farmers in the areas to monitor the Fall Armyworm situation after distributing pesticides such as Super Warrior and Viper to them.
The team made assessments of the work of Agric Extension Agents, monitored the adoption of technologies such as planting of improved seeds, row planting, method of weed/pest control, and engagements to know how farmers tackled challenges they faced during their day-to-day activities and possible remedies and recommendations.
The team members observed on the field that some of the affected maize farms had recovered, while others were yet to. Officers were tasked to liaise with the farmers to fight the Fall Armyworm to maximise food production in the district.
The entourage, including Augustine Atta Agyei, DAO-PPRSD, Obeng Daniel Desmond, AEA Officer,  Asuotiano, Justice Sampah-Junior,  MIS Officer, and Madam Adjei Helen, WIAD, also visited Wamanafo Senior High School to monitor the Fall Armyworm situation in some of the teachers’ maize farms.
