Farmers across the country are set to benefit from modified maize seed varieties resistant to stem borer once the ongoing trial under the Bt Maize Project is complete.
The trial of the variety which is being spearheaded by the Kenya Agricultural & Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) in partnership with Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) which is in its final stage has so far shown a high level of success.
