"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are aware that army worms are developing resistance to some of the pesticides that we use. That is why I mentioned here that we are now using a combination of Bestox 20 EC and Pyrenex 80 EC as a means of overcoming the issues of resistance that has been developed by army worms. I want to also inform the hon. Member that we have adequate control mechanism in place. We have adequate surveillance equipment on the ground and we have also sensitized farmers adequately to ensure that whenever they spot army worms in the area, they quickly inform our staff. We have ensured that there is adequate supply of Bestox 20 EC, Pyrenex 80 EC and knapsacks. We have also ensured that our staff have adequate fuel to ensure that surveillance is carried out and spraying is carried out whenever army worms are spotted."
