Bayer, German chemical and pharmaceutical company and International Institute For Tropical Agriculture on Tuesday launched a new cassava weed protection product known as Lagon.
By the end of June, the disease was reportedly present in 60 per cent of the plantations in South Western Uganda and Northern Rwanda. According to the Ministry, however, similar signs were first seen in 2017 in the country, but they disappeared following intense rains later that year, before resurfacing in 2019.
