On 28 June 2014, I went to my field with my kids to sow the Toroniou variety of millet for seed production. Upon arrival I found my neighbor Mr Souleymane Guindo had already sown his field more than a month before me, and was pleased with the result. He told me that I was too late for sowing and he thought it unlikely I could harvest anything in my field. Because I had participated in a training organized in Bankass by ICRISAT and its partners, during which the trainers presented the product Apron Star and its benefits, I did not think I was too late in sowing and that the plants would catch hold because my seeds were treated with Apron Star.
