Farmers may bank on more than first class fertilisers from ETG Zambian Fertilizers. This supplier also advise farmers on the best way to fight off weeds in their fields by the correct use of herbicides, and they have also embarked on a programme aimed at educating small-scale farmers to grow other crops besides maize.

The practice of mono-cropping has a negative effect on the soil, leading to insufficient plant nutrients for the next crop to be planted, thereby affecting yields. With the practice of crop rotation and better input application of seed, fertilisers and chemicals (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides) the soil will improve and restore soil fertility season after season. Fields also benefit from growing different crops as they aerate and add various nutrients into the soil.

Moreover, each crop has its own place in the market and can add value to both the farmer and consumer. The whole idea is to encourage farmers to use the correct inputs such as a fertiliser blend that is crop specific, lime and organic enriched, specific insecticides, fungicides and herbicides for optimum crop performance by providing a growing environment that favours healthy crop growth.
