Farmers urged to store seed properly to ensure better produce

HARARE, June 23 (NewsDay Live) – FARMERS have been urged to store seed properly and keep detailed farm records if they want to protect their yields and plan better for the next season.  

The call was made by Agriseeds Sales and marketing director, Irvin Craig, during a tour of the company’s factory and research facility in Harare on Saturday. He told journalists that poor seed handling remains one of the main reasons why some farmers experience low germination and poor crop produce, even when they use certified seed.
