Pesticides worth Sh2 million have been bought to combat the destructive fall army worms that have invaded hundreds of hectares of maize plantations in Uasin Gishu County.

County Agriculture executive Cyril Cheruiyot said the chemicals would be used to spray 1,600 acres of maize in Moiben and Soy where the outbreak had been reported.
