2012 Companion Village Project 3rd Visit, Year Three October 10, 2012 Village Ipalamwa Pastor/Evangelist Ajenista Maliga Companion Mount Calvary Lutheran Attendees 12 Weather for the past month Dry & Sunny Reporters Rev. Mang’ulisa, Pongolan, and Venance Since this is distant located village and the road conditions are not reliable during the rainy season, we had to deliver corn and bean seeds this time of the year. Upon our arrival, some villagers were at the pyrethrum nursery and a few were at the church to meet us. We delivered the inputs and went to see the nursery. There were many nursery beds and the seedlings were doing well. Purposes of the visit • To demonstrate on planting of corn and beans • To deliver corn seeds, bean seeds and fertilizers • To see the pyrethrum nursery Topics 1. Review of the handouts • 3rd Visit Instruction • Plant population with 60 cm. rows and Fertilizer applications • Fertilizer needs template 2. Demonstration Ipalamwa parish is doing the CVP in their third year, therefore we involved the parishioners to review the planting and fertilization procedure for corn and beans and the spacing required for each crop. They could follow the demonstration very well. We insisted that they should not place seeds and fertilizers together. There should be at least 5cm apart. The spacing is 60×20cm for corn and 30×10cm for beans. Fertilizers should be applied to both corn and beans. 3. Rain record sheet We gave them new rainfall record sheets and insisted that they should continue recording the amount of rain that falls. 4. Pyrethrum nursery We saw a pyrethrum nursery with a lot of seedlings growing in a good shape. 5. Delivery We delivered corn seeds, bean seeds and fertilizers of the type and amount as indicated in the table below Item Corn Beans Fertilizers for corn Fertilizers for beans Variety TMV Uyole 96 NPK (cereal) NPK( winner) Amount 8kg 30kg 2 bags 2 bags Conclusion We might make another visit to this area in this year to deliver Yara Mila cereal (NPK 23-10-5) for side dressing on corn before the heavy rains begin. We told them that they should communicate with us on the progress of the demonstration plots. Whenever there are pests and disease they should call us and we will send pesticides for controlling them.
