Crisis as fall armyworms attack large seed farms

Christine Ndigwa who has been a maize farmer for 20 years shows how fall army worms have attacked the leaves of her crops.

When he received a call in mid-March, he knew the weight of what awaited him. After all, he had worked as a field agricultural officer for over 30 years.

The call was from a maize farmer in Endebbes, Trans Nzoia County. The farmer was worried about green caterpillars that had invaded his field.
