Joy of seeing Sc 727 crop slowly unleasing its genetic potential under capable hands of the environment.......Weed Free,Stress free,perfect heat Units,Good soil Nutrition,No disease or pest infestation as yet......we call it G by E interaction.Genetics by Environment interaction
That conversation again….
Today its an SC719 day, this is Yeast Anchor Farm in Gweru, Midlands Province, where SC719 is doing wonders. Its a mammoth Pan African hybrid being given a special attention. In Agronomy and in practice we call it ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
Here are the questions that require Responses.
1. Was your land prep on point?
2. Tell us about your population during establishment
3. What was your nutrition regime?
4. Keep is posted on your pre and post wmergent herbicide plan?
5. Fall army worm is gregariously feeding what are you doing about it ?
6. Are you using the right molecules /chemistry for your weeds and pest
7. Are you scouting on time? Whats your response there after.
Where exactly are you loosing the ball?Lets talk…

🌱 Soil pH: one of the highest-return, lowest-cost farm inputs.
Get pH wrong and nutrients become locked up before crops can use them.
Most crops thrive around pH 6.2–6.8.
But pH affects more than nutrients. It affects soil biology too.

AgriVantage Zimbabwe expands local access to crop nutrition!
We are very pleased to announce the local registration of a number of crop nutrition products, broadening the options available to Zimbabwean growers.

🥔 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. 🌱

🥔 More phosphorus doesn't always mean more starch!
Excess phosphate (Pi) can inhibit key enzymes and disrupt carbon metabolism in potato tubers, reducing starch synthesis and potentially harming processing quality.

ALT 🤯 P deficiency can increase starch accumulation in some tissues—but reduces growth and yield. ⚖️ Balance is key!

Spent the day with students with students from Mazowe vet college - engaging in practical farm operations ...it was a huge class of 140 students ...i have done my part in insipiring the next generation of agriculture experts .)a candle looses nothing by lighting another ) – at Harare, Zimbabwe

🌱 Why can foliar calcium fail to prevent blossom-end rot or bitter pit?
Ca(NO₃)₂ can penetrate leaves. The real challenge is often what happens next: calcium has limited phloem mobility, so calcium absorbed by leaves rarely reaches fruit efficiently.

ALT 💡 Absorption ≠ delivery. Timing, water movement and fruit development matter.

What could an extra 170,000 litres of water per hectare mean for your soil? 💧🌱
Here’s a soil fact worth knowing: increasing soil organic matter by just 1% can increase water-holding capacity by around 170,000 litres per hectare.

That’s why building organic matter isn’t just about healthier soil, it’s also about helping your soil hold onto more of the water your crop needs.

Today, I presided over the Best Extension Worker Awards (BEWA) held at the Agriculture Research Trust Farm, where we recognised and celebrated the dedication of our agricultural extension officers.Zimbabwe has approximately 6,000 agricultural extension officers who play a critical role in taking Government programmes and technical knowledge to farmers. We are equipping them with tablets, data, solar systems, e-extension services and fuelled motorcycles so they can reach farmers efficiently and provide timely, relevant information.
Agricultural transformation begins at grassroots level. Our extension officers must ensure that every farmer understands and applies the six pillars of our agricultural strategy in response to the challenges and opportunities in their communities. The BEWA awards recognise and motivate our hardworking extension officers who continue to make a difference in the lives of farmers.

Today I attended the Zimbabwe Agriculture Climate Resilient Summit 2026 hosted by Zimpapers. We must not panic about the anticipated El Niño conditions, we must prepare, understand what the forecasts mean for agriculture, and turn information into action. Farmers need to know two things: when to plant and what to plant.
Our six-pillar drought response are part of building a more resilient agricultural sector. We must move from simply receiving forecasts to becoming decisive actors who use information to protect production, livelihoods and food security.

We are currently at the Crop Breeding Institute research fields in Harare, assessing our wheat trials ahead of the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) Annual Wheat Field Day.
The event will be officiated by Prof. Dr. Obert Jiri, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Mechanization and Water Resources Development tomorrow. We are proud to have provided all the crop protection chemicals used on these trials. The trials will be part of the fields to be showcased at tomorrow's event.
See you there!

🚨Maricho Media Farmer Alert:
Early Irrigated Tobacco
🔹 Re-ridge now – protect top dressing, kill weeds, stop leaching
🔹 Haven't applied top dressing yet? Do it urgently
🔹 Scout for aphids, cutworms & frog-eye spot – check everyday
🔹 Check gap-filling survival (target 95%+)
🔹 Irrigate 25-30mm/week, early morning; remove bottom suckers

Winter wheat has been quite a journey! From planting to now, most crops are approaching physiological maturity. As harvest draws closer, we must be extra vigilant about veld fires. Protect your crop. Protect your investment. Don’t let veld fires break your bank.
