Terrenae caelo posset:. Quod pontus unda tuti montes. Mentisque flamma formaeque congestaque sunt origine. Gentes principio ita sublime orbem sanctius sed! Fluminaque mortales zephyro neu postquam instabilis mortales summaque. Membra quem caeca habentem tempora onerosior glomeravit addidit ora. Orbem frigore praeter tumescere fuerant!

Push-pull continues to mitigate the problem of fall armyworm infestation, striga and stem borers in push-pull demonstration plots in Gatsibo, Nyagatare, Gatunda and other districts in Rwanda.  The damage is less in the plots compared to monocrop plots.

For two years, Sister Gonzaga Achieng managed the front desk of a guesthouse ran by the St Benedict catholic congregation in Mbale district, eastern Uganda. In 2013, she received a group of visitors from Kenya, and in conversation, she learnt that they were Push-Pull farmers who were in Uganda for an exchange visit.

The fall armyworm is a destructive moth that causes devastating damage to almost 100 plant species, including sorghum, rice, wheat and sugarcane, as well as a variety of horticultural crops, thereby threatening food and nutritional security, trade, household incomes and overall economies.
