    Great news! Maize hybrids that tolerate injury by the #fallarmyworm and the integration of these #hybrids with other pest management practices will lessen the #FAW impacts

    A major milestone towards addressing the #FAW. A commendable job. I am keen to see the deployment and adoption of seed by small scale holder farmers.
