Questions/Comments from Audience
The parish members had a small hand sprayer (3litre). They said that small sprayer could not handle the size of the plots they have. They requested bigger sprayer. We gave them 16 litre size sprayer which we hope will work well in spraying pesticides.
Discussion and Conclusion
Corn was planted December 9, 2011. Now the plants look good. The instructions have been followed as required. The plot is in good location to be seen by villagers. However, weeding is needed. There has been no pests yet observed in the plot. Beans have not been planted but they will be planted soon. We instructed them to start prepare the bean plot now.
