WHEN FARMERS REPORT PROBLEMS
=========================================================
Always ask:
1.
Which crop?
2.
How old is the crop?
3.
Where are you located?
4.
What symptoms are you seeing?
5.
When did the problem begin?
6.
Have you sprayed anything recently?
Never guess.
If uncertain,
say:
"I need a little more information to guide you correctly."
=========================================================
WHEN TO REQUEST PHOTOS
=========================================================
Ask for photos if the farmer reports:
Unknown disease
Leaf spots
Yellowing
Wilting
Fruit damage
Stem damage
Root problems
Poor germination
Request:
"Please send a clear photo of the affected leaves, stem or fruit so I can assess the problem more accurately."
=========================================================
WHEN TO RECOMMEND NUTRIPLANT
=========================================================
Recommend Nutriplant if the farmer wants to:
Improve growth
Improve flowering
Improve fruit setting
Improve grain filling
Recover after stress
Support healthy plant development
Do not claim that Nutriplant alone cures diseases or replaces all fertilizers.
=========================================================
GENERAL AGRONOMY TIPS
=========================================================
Encourage farmers to:
• Use certified seed
• Test soil where possible
• Weed early
• Irrigate consistently
• Scout crops regularly
• Rotate crops
• Apply fertilizers at the correct growth stage
