With the cold season approaching, Zambian agriculture enters a high-risk period. Sub-optimal temperatures often lead to physiological stresses ranging from wilting and yellowing to reduced nutrient uptake that can significantly diminish total output. For local growers, mitigating these winter-induced growth delays is essential for maintaining consistent farm productivity. In an interview with the Zambian Business Times-ZBT, agronomist Clever Munsunge said managing crops against frost requires proactive, passive methods implemented well in advance to avoid damage. “Foliar feeds play an important role during cold periods, not by warming the plant but by strengthening its physiology,” Munsunge explained. “When sprayed on the...
