Mang’ulisa, Pongolan and Venance Ilogombe is another distantly 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, we met a few members of the church waiting at the church premises. We started the meeting immediately so that we could finish in time and travel to Kipanga parish. Purposes of the visit: • To see the pyrethrum nursery. • To demonstrate on planting of corn and beans. • To deliver corn seeds, bean seeds and fertilizers Topics 1. Review of the handouts • 3rd Visit Instruction • Plant population with 60 cm. rows and Fertilizer applications • Fertilizer needs template 2. Pyrethrum nursery We did not get enough time to see their pyrethrum nursery but they said they have a good nursery which will supply them seedlings to meet their need and other people as well. 3. Demonstration Ilogombe village is doing the CVP for the second time; therefore required a thorough demonstration on planting corn and beans and fertilizer applications; we did the demonstrations and insisted to put fertilizers about 5 cm away from the seeds. 4. Rain record sheets We gave them the rainfall record sheets and insisted that they should continue recording the amount of rain that falls. 5. Delivery We delivered corn and bean seeds and fertilizers 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 Last season the parish did not do well with the corn and beans. They did very well with the pyrethrum though the size of the plot was small for the reason that they did not get adequate quantity of seedlings. We hope they will perform well in the coming season because we have delivered good quality seed and the deliveries have been done on time. They asked a few questions to the pyrethrum guy who answered them accordingly.
