CAPE TOWN - The Department of Agriculture has appealed to farmers to do regular scouting on maize plants after the fall armyworm was detected in the Western Cape.
Armyworms are serious pests that mostly affect small scale farmers.
The department's Jan-Hendrik Venter said, “It likes to fly in August and what we recommend is that farmers must continue doing regular scouting and set up their own traps and check regularly.”
