Most of the retailers followed have not kept PPE set due to shortage and also IPM tools due to less demand from farmers. They suggested further training requirements to farmers regarding IPM and regular inspection and awareness to farmers.

Thus we followed up pesticide retailers for understanding their practical implementation of knowledge gained in training and sharing their experiences with farmers. |
