Review of the handouts
• 5th Visit handout
• Yield recording sheet
• Rain record sheets to know the amount of rain received during this season
Demonstrations
We measured the 10 m row and counted the number of plants (in three different locations within the demonstration plot) for the number of corn ears and yield determination, this was demonstrated by using a meter tape, and the spray paint to mark the demarcations within which number of corn ears and yield information should be obtained.
Plots information
Corn plot is outside the church, plants are mature and they are about ready for harvesting. We insisted them to keep weeding every month in order to prevent the weeds from turning into seeds. They have harvested beans but not yet threshed, and told them to record the total yield from the bean plot.
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 that they should harvest the 10m row we marked first and take all the required data and harvest the whole plot and obtain the total yield.
