Field pollution, water salinity and prolonged fertilizing,The condition of the fields has now changed in all parts of Maldives..Soil has become so weak that it cannot produce anything without the help of pesticides.
Farmers should be taught basic standards such as soil nutrient availability, additional nutrient requirements, temperature values and water PHP. You can’t grow crops unless you know what the plants are lacking in nutrients and teach them nutrients and give them the best nutrients. The whole agriculture has been adversely affected by the use of pesticides.
Farmers should also be taught how to use the pesticides and how to use them as little as possible. This book will answer all these needs at a basic level.
