By ANN MACHARIA More by this AuthorThe cold weather being experienced in the country might damage crops, hence the need for farmers to be informed to avoid losses. This problem is usually attributed to low temperature and poor seeds selection. The cold weather damage is more severe in younger plants, which haven’t grown in strength and structure to support the expansion of cell tissues. The cold temperature also causes delayed plant maturity; the crop takes a long time before reaching maturity. Protect crops against the cold by spraying against fungal infection as low temperature facilitates the spread of diseases.
