BIC IN THE FIELD

infected cotton plants
It was in the morning of 24th December 2011 that the Chairperson Mr. James Mwirima and the Secretary Mr. Jimmy B went to the field after receiving reports from the info centers of the infectious plant disease that had affected cotton and maize in the areas of Kabirizi. That morning was another day that brought relief to the farmers in Kabirizi. The chairperson who immediately identified the infected plants told the farmers to uproot and burn the plants. BIC took photos of the infected plants and sent the photos to NARO for further diagnosis. The farmers atleast got some relief after BIC intervened.
