"Through the use of improved maize seed and maize hybrid: pests, weeds and insects can be combated effectively and quickly thus improving food security of people because of its high nutrient content, as well as ensure better production of corn for the farmer tomake use of it. "
The group that can be benefited are farmers who decide to use the hybrid, because as discussed the development of hybrid production is 2 to 3 times better than normal maize, resulting in a gain for both the farmer who sells as the consumer to get more nutrients.
Deepen in this subject the farmer is faced not only the production of corn, the farmer also has to fight against pestsand nuisance weeds may damage the corn plant, our hybrid is not totally immune to these problems without But these can be counteracted by some herbicides and a simple monitoring of soil and weed.
