Producers pending due to the lack of water and the pests that have been occurring
Jose Juan Salinas / The Field
Farmers in the region have to be aware of their crops of sorghum and corn and others, since mainly due to climatic conditions the lack of rain to strengthen them, due to continuous and strong winds, clouds, and now the presence of pests, known as the fall armyworm, green and yellow aphids, and others, the farmer does not rest day and night to take care of them, of course this is only one stage of their development, since there is still time to reach the end and hopefully everything turns out good to obtain the results that everyone wants to harvest and obtain good yields, so says the ing. Samuel Puente manager of the PIFSV of Matamoros.
This professional also says that the development of most of the crops was slow, however, in recent days it began to be noticed that they began to take off, and a number of teams can be seen carrying out work on crops/graves of board, as well as the application of fertilization to the soil, and foliar fertilization.
HOWEVER, IN SAID CROPS IN SOME AREAS, FERRIC CHLOROSIS CONTINUES TO MANIFEST AREAS OR SPOTCHES, WHERE THE FARMER MUST APPLY IRON SULFATE TO CONTROL IT, IN RELATION TO DRY CONDITIONS, AND IN SOME AREAS THE PRESENCE OF green aphid or borceguí, must be aware of the development of the crop, as well as the presence of the climate, so that at a certain moment, make the decision to control the pests, present, according to the intensity and size of the plants.
In maize, egg laying of adult female fall armyworms begins to be observed, which already exist as larvites in their early stages, which if there is no control, would seriously damage the crop, reducing its harvest.
