HERAT CITY (Pajhwok): Farmers in some districts of western Herat province are complaining about lack of awareness regarding crop diseases and pests. They say some agriculture products are annually lost to such diseases.
Agriculture ministry and some foreign organisations have so far provided awareness and information to farmers regarding plant diseases and pest attacks but a large number of farmers remain unaware about these issues.
