Sehemu hii tutazungumzia jinsi ya kutunza shamba la mahindi ambapo tutagusia mambo makuu manne (4) ambayo ni; nyasi na magugu shambani, mbolea, wadudu shambani, pamoja na matumizi ya kemikali shambani. Mambo haya manne yamefafanuliwa zaidi hapa chini.

Gibberella Ear Rot

Wadudu: Fangasi: Gibberella zeae

Dalili: 1. Ukungu wa pinki mpaka mwekundu

Suluhisho/ Kutibu: 1. Panda mbegu za mahindi zenye kuweza kukabiliana na hili tatizo 2. Weka mbolea kiasi cha kutosha 3. Dhibiti minyoo, wadudu wanaotoboa mabua na wengine wanaokula mhindi kwa kutumia kemikali kama Dipterex, Thionex, Karate Zeon and Decis Tab
