Ag Inst – Ipogoro notes
6th CVP Visit
(Partner – Augustana, St. Paul, MN)
Aug 26, 2009
Pastor Mwitula
Remember: Ipogoro has half the plots and the preaching point, Kitwiru has the other half.
They were only a pastor and 2 other people who attended, reason was, there was another meeting in the morning around 7 am up to 1pm and Inst of Ag meeting scheduled at 2pm, so people were really exhausted and went home before we arrived from Tungamalenga. We requested pastor to inform us when we schedule if there will any meeting so that we see if it will work out or we should change the schedule.
They told us they are happy with Pioneer seed variety and would like to continue growing the same variety 2009/10 growing season.
Yield obtained from ¼ of an acre is 38.5 tins equivalent to 5.5 bags of shelled corn. And the pastor said he will donate 1 bag of corn to the church during the harvest offering time.
In Kitwiru plot, they harvested corn already but not thrashed yet, soon they will thrashed and give us how many bags obtained. The harvested corn in Kitwiru was also good and similar to the harvested corn in Ipogoro.
They will prefer to have a different beans variety.
Today we discussed and demonstrated the use of storage chemicals and delivered the storage chemical called Shumba i.e. a trade name.
They didn’t record yield as we instructed them in our early visits, and we highly recommended them to record 10 meters in rows next year 2009/10 in both demo plots and neighbors farm.
