NAIROBI: Planting season is a hopeful time. Everyone is busy preparing their land for planting, gathering farm inputs such as fertiliser and seeds in preparation for the long rain season. Choosing the right seed is important. The process requires good planning and research.
Maize variety choice, if correctly planned, can make a great contribution to risk reduction and should constitute an important part of production planning. Cultivars differ from one another with regard to a variety of characteristics. Therefore, every variety has its own adaptability and yield potential.
