Discussion and conclusion
Ilogombe is a pyrethrum growing area which joins the CVP for the first time. They planted corn late November but germination was very poor. They had replanted, however, the spacing was much wider than the recommended. They were advised to follow the spacing demonstrated to them. They were also advised to prepare plots for planting beans and pyrethrum in order to catch up with the planting season.
