Purpose of the visit
The purpose of the visit is to demonstrate and give instructions on yield measurement.

Greetings
Pastor Lunodzo Mang’ulisa introduced the Ag. Institute staff and went on with the greetings from the Iringa diocese. He also encouraged them to follow the instructions while working with the demonstration plot.

Topics
Went through the handouts
• 5th Visit handout
• Yield recording sheet
• Rain record sheets to know the amount of rain received during this season

Demonstrations
We demonstrated how to collect data from corn and bean plot by measurin10 m row and counting the number of plants (in three different locations within the demonstration plot) for yield determination, this was demonstrated by using a meter tape, and the spray paint to mark the demarcations within which the yield data should be obtained.

Plots information
Corn plants were not yet harvested and crops are almost ready for harvesting. The plot had weeds they didn’t weed because they said that crops were matured.

Comments
We reminded them the important of weeding the plot even if after harvesting as they will prevent the weeds from making seeds which will grow in the following growing season.

Conclusion
We insisted the important of harvesting the 10M row we marked for data taking and then they should go on harvesting the whole plot and record the total yield.
