Thousands of peasant farmers across Embu County are confident of improved yields after receiving soil analysis results that will help them make informed decisions on how to improve the health of their soils.
The analysis was carried out by OCP Africa in conjunction with the County Government with a view to giving farmers valuable insights into the specific needs of their soils and crops.
This, OCP Africa Agronomist Karen Ayabei said, will go a long way in assisting farmers to tailor their fertilizer applications as per the soil needs to address existing deficiencies.
Speaking at Ugweri Market while handing over results of 1,080 soil samples to the County Government, Ms Ayabei said efficient use of fertilizer will ensure that crops receive the nutrients needed for optimal growth and yields.
