简介：Bhutan is a small landlocked country located in the eastern Himalayas. Over 69% of the population is engaged in agriculture. Rice, maize, wheat, barley, buckwheat and millets are the major cereal crops cultivated. Rice is the most preferred food crop of the Bhutanese. Maize is a primary food crop after rice and it ranks first among food crops in production. The cultivation ranges from less than 300 m asl (metres above sea level) nearly up to 2,800 m asl. In 2007, a new, extremely serious problem of GLS (gray leaf spot) in maize that was previously never reported in Bhutan was confirmed.
