When tackling complex challenges in agriculture, it's crucial to go back to the basics. The Fusarium wilt issue affecting banana farming, particularly in lowland areas, poses a significant threat. Without a clear action plan, the situation could only escalate with climate change. Traditional methods centered on pathogen eradication may not offer sustainable solutions in the long run. The disease triangle model offers a practical approach by highlighting environmental modifications to decrease disease favorability, enabling banana cultivation even in the presence of Fusarium in the soil. Improving soil drainage stands out as a vital step in combating Fusarium wilt. Areas with drainage issues are identifiable, allowing for feasible corrective measures to be put in place. #Agriculture #FusariumWilt #BananaIndustry #SustainableFarming

🦋 Papilio demoleus: A Delicate Balance in Agriculture 🦋 The Lime Butterfly, or Papilio demoleus, is a reminder of the intricate balance between nature and agriculture. While its larvae can devastate citrus crops 🍋, reducing yields and affecting farmers economically, the adult butterfly plays a crucial role as a pollinator 🌸, supporting biodiversity. In agriculture, we constantly seek ways to protect crops while also preserving the ecosystems that sustain us. How can we address pests like this without tipping the balance? 🤔 Let's discuss solutions that ensure both economic sustainability and environmental conservation. #Agriculture #Pollination #Sustainability #Biodiversity #PestControl #CitrusFarming #BioByPriti #EnvironmentalBalance #EcoConservation #FarmingChallenges -

With over 33% of African soils badly degraded, improving soil health must be an urgent priority. ⏳ Smallholder farmers produce a third of the world's food and we believe supporting them to adopt #regenerative agriculture practices is the best way to boost soil health and combat food insecurity. By 2027 our goal is to empower 75,000 smallholder farmers to transition to regenerative agriculture - protecting biodiversity and saving our soils 🌱 https://hubs.li/Q02ykGkb0
