ILAM, FEB 08 -
A team of agricultural experts from the Department of Agriculture and National Agriculture Research Centre (NARC), Pakhribas, has arrived in Ilam to study the challenges facing cardamom farmers in the district and recommend ways to tackle their problems.

Team member Keshav Ghimire of NARC said an on-the-spot inspection by the team has found that cardamom farms were being plagued by different diseases as the farms are as old as 25 years. He suggested to the farmers to use clean saplings. Bhanu Prasad Mainali of the Department of Agriculture urged the farmers to eliminate the plants as early as possible after finding the symptoms of the disease.
