Discussion and conclusion
At the time of the visit, they were weeding their bean plot. Both corn and bean plants were correctly spaced and in good condition. They showed a great interest on learning the taught agricultural practices and asked several questions about corn and beans. We answered their questions and advised them to apply fertilizer on corn as soon as they can.
When asked about adoption of the taught methods on their own farms, 4 out of 14 (28.5%) said they were practicing the methods in their own plots. Their demonstration plots are positioned along the road towards the church. This position makes passersby to look at and ask questions on the seed they used and methods they apply to the corn and beans to look that good.
