This social canker have been with this farmers for months since the beginning of the farming season, the fall army worms are small tinny worms that target maize crops and other economic crops in the region. This army worms are now the most challenging problems farmers face in the region. The challenge is however reported and announced by most media and TV stations in Ghana, is on Facebook, whatssap and on most blogs but the government is yet to officially say something about how they will assist the region to fight the infection.
On a small scale, coconutnews24 spoke to Mr. Munkailu Ali Bipuah who is a farmer at Tarsor. He said ,they are suffering from this worms but have nothing to do about the situation, he also narrated that some of the farmers in Tarsor use OMO( SO KLEAN) to prevent or to treat this illness of the crops. Mr. Munkailu said he was appealing to the government to come to their aid since farming is their only source livelihood. coconutnews24 had to follow Mr. Munkailu to his farm to see the real picture of how this worms have destroyed their crops. It was self explanatory when the team got there.
Government will have to do something to reduce the destruction on their crops.
