The Zambia Bureau of Standards-ZABS has warned traders who are fond of mixing non nutrient chemicals in fertilizer.
ZABS Marketing and Public Relations Manager Hazel Zulu says such tendencies affect the quality of fertilizer which makes it substandard.
She has further reminded farmer’s country wide to be alert and desist from buying re-packaged fertilizers that are insufficiently labelled or not labelled at all.
Ms Zulu says there will be intensified inspections of both local and imported fertilizers especially during this farming season to ensure that farmers should not only get value for their money but obtain increased crop yields as a result of applying fertilizer that meets specified requirements.
