Kabarole district farmers decry Banana wilt disease

Banana farmers in Kabarole district have expressed concern over the government’s failure to fluffily sensitize them on how to control Banana Bacteria Wilt disease which they say has affected their produce.

Nyakato Rubombora a farmer in Rwimi Town Council Bunyangabu County says half of her two hectare banana plantation has been attacked.

Nyakato says that her efforts to control the disease by applying local methods have not yielded since it has continued to spread randomly yet banana farming is the only source of income for her family.

The Rwimi town council chair person Ngomayondi Abel says the farmers still lack knowledge on how to curb the disease.
