Hello Hive

It is barely a week this pestilence started in our beans farm and it is spreading so fast like wildfire
At first it was affecting the seeds causing them to rust and wither off but today it has spread fast to attack the leaves of our beans plants.

You can see here where the leaves began to fold gradually but before you can think of anything there is almost no leaves in the next pictures

Without the leaves, beans plants will be unable to bear flowers and if there is no flowering then there will be no seed production or any beans for harvest.

Pestilence can constitute a major losses of farm crops especially with beans. We haven't had any of such drastic attacks on groundnut or the soya beans we have planted before, it seems like beans is the only crops that gets easily attack by insect and pest

Every hear we often apply pestilence even before the attacks begin buy this year we decided to wait and see if it can be possible to grow beans without this challenge. It is a good thing to seek to reduce the use of agricultural inorganic chemicals in our crops so that we can grow some more natural foods but the idea seems impossible with beans.

If we have applied some pesticides before now, we wouldn't be having these kind of challenges. Although we have learnt some lessons here. I hope that as we applied pesticides fo these farms it will bring go a stop this pestilence that is spreading fast so that our crops can be saved.

Beans was one of the crops we have successfully grown and had a massive harvest last year. This year we are anticipating similar harvest. The crops is usually planted at the second session of our farming season which happens to be the periods after the dry spells or August break as it is popular known here.
It grows fast within 2months and harvest can be continuous for another 1month. Hopefully would be
able to harvest as much beans from our farm this year.
