Coconuts and Pest Control

Senior Pest Management Officer- Troy Augustine- engages with farmers and officers within the Western Agricultural District-strengthening the awareness on how to diagnose common pests affecting their coconut trees.

 

Farmers were also trained on constructing effective traps that would increase their coconut production.

This undertaking is one of the activities of the World Bank Funded, Food Security Enhancement Programme, with a shipment of over 10,000 germplasm material expected to arrive in Grenada, in the next few months.
