Recommendations for use

Edem: Did you read the manufacturer's instructions on the package carefully and exactly adhere to the amount of insecticide to be used? If you used less powder than prescribed it will not have any effect; too much is waste and is dangerous for the consumer Did you spread the right amount of insecticide evenly over the maize and mix these carefully?

Yao: Yes, I followed the instructions on the package exactly and only stored immaculate, dry maize

The right dosage of insecticide: too little has no effect, too much is waste and causes health risks.
