🥔 Excess phosphorus (P) may reduce potato dry matter and specific gravity, increase oil uptake and darken fry color. ⚠️ Nutrient imbalances may affect tuber quality. Balance P, calcium, magnesium & boron using soil and tissue tests. 🌱 #Potatoes #PlantNutrition

🇿🇼🤝🇰🇪 SAME ROOTS, SAME LOVE FOR GOOD FOOD! Zimbabwe and Kenya, we have something cooking! 🍲🔥 In the spirit of solidarity, friendship and our shared love for good food, @TeamFuloZim is bringing the two nations together for a little friendly competition in the kitchen! Introducing #CookOffZwKe! 🇿🇼🇰🇪 We are inviting Kenyans and Zimbabweans to showcase the very best of their national cuisines. We're talking traditional favourites, treasured family recipes, those dishes that make you proud of your heritage, and the kind of graze that has everyone at the table going back for seconds! 😋 From the kitchens of Nairobi to those of Harare, Bulawayo, Mombasa, Mutare and beyond, we want to see what you've got! 📩 HOW TO ENTER Simply submit a photograph of your dish via DM to @TeamFuloZim. 📅 ENTRIES CLOSE TUESDAY! Please DO NOT post your entries publicly. All submissions will remain under wraps until entries close. 🗳️ NOW, HERE'S HOW THE VOTING WILL WORK! Once entries close, photographs of the dishes will be arranged into groups of FOUR and presented to the public for voting. There will be NO names, NO national flags and NO indication of which country each dish represents. Voters will judge the dishes on their appearance and presentation alone. Of course, our culinary detectives are welcome to speculate on which country each dish comes from! 😅 But the actual origins will only be revealed AFTER the public vote has concluded. We want the food to do the talking, without national loyalties, popularity contests or sympathy votes influencing the outcome. And remember, this is a FRIENDLY competition. A little banter between our Kenyan and Zimbabwean brothers and sisters is most welcome! 😆 At the end of the day, we're celebrating the wonderful culinary traditions of two nations brought together by friendship and a common love for good food. Different countries, same kitchen, great food! Let the pots simmer, the spices flow and the best graze win! 🔥🍲 Please repost,tag a friend. @TheNairobiTimez @citizentvkenya @Lialarsen @babatafi @Vie_matongo #CookOffZwKe #TeamFuloZim #Graze #Banter #Friendship

💡 Why you need an efficient cold chain for your fruits and vegetable. An efficient cold chain 🧊 is essential for fruits and vegetables because these products are highly perishable and continue to respire and ripen even after harvest.

Smooth 9t/ha with SC547 in Mashonaland West Province SC547 continues to prove why it is a reliable early maturing hybrid for progressive farmers. Its early maturity allows farmers to harvest in time and become early birds in wheat & barley production, avoiding yield penalties associated with late planting. December planting positions farmers well to align with the optimum biological planting window for winter cereals. Timing is everything in agriculture, and SC547 helps farmers stay ahead.

I wonder why most people think Farming is for those who would have failed in other fields. This is a full time job for some of us, it was never an option but getting employed was an option after Farming. My 19 year old Son is passionate with farming and he will be starting...
