Ask a question in the Agri Forum

The Agri Forum is where farmers, extension officers, and agricultural experts help each other. A well-asked question often gets a useful answer within a day.

Ask a question

1. From the Dashboard, tap Agri Forum.
2. Tap + (or Ask).
3. Pick a topic / category — for example Crops, Pests & Diseases, Markets, Weather.
4. Type a short, specific title.
5. In the body, give enough context for someone to actually help (see below).
6. Attach a photo if it's relevant.
7. Tap Post.

You'll get a notification when someone replies.

What makes a good question

Good questions get more, faster, better answers. Cover four things:

• What crop — "sweet potato", not just "my garden".
• What problem and when — what you see, when it started, how fast it's spreading.
• Where you are — province / district, and recent weather (lots of rain? dry spell?).
• A clear photo — taken in daylight, close enough to see the affected part, with a healthy part next to it for comparison if possible.

Compare:

"My plants are sick, help" — almost no one can answer this.

"Sweet potato in Jiwaka — yellow patches on the leaves and the roots feel soft when I pull one. Started about a week after heavy rain. Photo attached." — anyone with experience can give a real answer.

Reply, like, and follow

The forum gets better as more people use it.

• Reply to someone's question if you've seen the same problem and know what worked.
• Like / upvote answers that helped you so the best ones rise to the top.
• Follow a topic (for example "coffee") to get notifications when new posts appear in it.

Tips

• Keep it focused. One question per post is easier to answer than three rolled together.
• Update your post when you find the answer. "Here's what worked" helps the next farmer with the same problem.
• Be polite — most replies come from volunteers.
