Thuso Mokwa, MBA/MSc, shares his enthusiasm for field days, highlighting the latest developments from the GWK Groentoer (GreenTour) event.
Field days offer a unique opportunity to delve into agricultural practices, and this event was no exception. Participants explored the application of fertilizers on maize and potato crops, witnessing demonstrations featuring various brands of planters and tractors.
A particular highlight was the insightful lecture on different maize cultivars, shedding light on the diverse options available to farmers. Additionally, attendees had the chance to visit groundnut fields, gaining valuable insights into this important crop.
With a focus on the Northern Cape’s maize crop, expectations remain optimistic for an average normal yield. Despite facing challenges such as hot days and cooler nights, the province’s irrigated production areas are poised to contribute to a successful harvest.
Field days like the GWK Groentoer serve as invaluable platforms for knowledge sharing and industry collaboration, driving advancements in agricultural practices and crop performance.
