We arrive in this Parish late in the afternoon from Kiponzelo. People have been gathering in the church and waiting for us. We started with a short meeting and we did demonstration outside the church.
Purpose of the visit
• Measuring the demonstration plots
• Delivering rain gauge
Topics
1. Review of the handouts
Together with them we went through the handouts
o 2nd Visit Instructions
o DIRA and Institute of Agriculture Village Plot Agreement
o Plot Management FAQs
2. Demonstrations
o Rain gauge
We told them we need to know the annual rainfall of their place. We instructed them on how to record rain using a rain gauge. One set of rain gauge was handed to the pastor.
o Plots
They could not get enough land around their church. They got a land in the farming area about 1km from the church. They said the plot is nearby the road. We could not get there because it was late. We instructed the Pastor to supervise the plot measuring task. We instructed them on how to measure the 1 acre plot using miter tape (instead of pacing). We told them to measure two ½ acres plots, one for corn and another one for beans
Questions/Comments from audience
They were wondering if the minimum tillage will work since in some of the land they farm has somehow clay soil
We told them minimum tillage will work because we have tried in other villages with the same type of soil and they have got high yields.
Why they should do second application of fertilizers while they do the first with NPK?
NPK applied at the planting time has higher ration of P and K than N. The nitrogenous fertilizers applied at the knee high (second application) supplied N which is highly needed by the plants for growth at this plant stage.
Is it okay to apply a fertilizer called SA (Sulphate of Ammonia) instead of?
Their soil pH is very low. We would not recommend fertilizers with suphur component because they have a tendency of lower soil pH. SA will not be suitable to this area.
They are facing termites’ problem in their farms, by leaving the crop residues are they not going to worsen the problem?
Their soils need addition of Organic matter. Crop residues are one of the best ways to add organic matter in their farms. Terminates can be controlled using pesticides.
How should they control the fungal disease in corn which occurs almost every farming season?
I. Crop rotation
II. Plant at the appropriate time
III. Use improved seeds
Conclusions/Recommendations
We insisted that it is important for them to go and measure the plot accurately. We are planning to visit their plot next time. We reminded them about the advantages of doing weeding now as the preparation of the coming planting season.

Purpose of the visit
• Measuring the demonstration plots
• Delivering rain gauge, seeds and fertilizers
• Demonstrating corn planting and fertilizer applications
After we finish the demonstration at the Secondary school, we started demonstration here. Due to uncertainty of the condition road to this parish, we carry with us seeds and fertilizers to deliver (We normally do this in the 3rd visit). We met Pastors and members of the congregation in the church. We met other people from other churches who were not Lutherans. There were one Pastor and one church leader from Pentecost church.
Greetings
Before we began the demonstration, Don delivered greetings from St. Paul Area Synod and US Institute of Ag advisory committee

Demonstrations
o Rain gauge
We told them we need to know the annual rainfall and rainfall pattern of their area. We instructed them how to record rain using a rain gauge. One set of rain gauge was handed to the pastor.
o Plots
We went with them outside and together we measure the 1acre plot using miter tape instead pacing. We measure two ½ acres plots, one for corn and another one for beans.
o Planting and fertilizer applications
We demonstrate on how to place seeds (Both corn and beans) and how to apply fertilizers. We insisted that they should not place together seeds and fertilizers. There should be at least 5cm from each other.
o Seeds and fertilizers
We delivered 2 bags of NPK for corn and 2 bags of NPK for beans. We are planning to introduce corn variety H6303. We could not buy these seeds from the local shops; however we are planning to ship them once they become available in Iringa town.
Crop Seeds Fertilizer
Varieties Amount Type Amount
Corn Not yet delivered NPK 100kg (2 bags)
Beans Uyole 96 30kg NPK 100kg (2 bags)
Comments
They wanted to know if there is big difference between the old farms and the new farm in terms of soil fertility
We told them that in terms of the organic matter and other nutrients availability, yes there is a difference however the fertilizers recommendations are applicable in both new and old farms because this difference will not make big difference in nutrients availability. Moreover soil fertility has to be built in both old and new farms.
They asked since they get few bags of fertilizers from the government in the subsidizing program, what should d they do once they get the different kind of what we recommend to them
We told them that there is nothing we can do about the fertilizers they get from the government. However using the fertilizers they get is better than not using at all.
Conclusion
We finished demonstration nearly evening. Along the road we saw the signs of road constructions. Hopeful the road will improve and can be passable during the rainy season. We told them we will be communicating with them to know the situation of the road so that we can plan our visits.

o Plots
We instructed them on how to measure the 1acre plot using miter tape (instead of pacing). Together with them we measured two ½ acres plots, one for corn and another one for beans. They have a nice flat land which is big enough to make two ½ acre plots for both and beans.
Questions/Comments
What types of fertilizers we would recommend in their area?
Since their soil pH is low we would recommend the types of fertilizers which will not lower further their soil pH, NPK and CAN will be suitable in their area. Fertilizers with Sulphur and Urea components will not be suitable to this acidic soil.
In one part of the village, they have rats’ infestation and they damage germinating seeds, how should they control the rats?
There are pesticides special for rat controlling in the fields. They are obtained in most of the agricultural stores selling inputs. However when the problem is severe and spread quickly, government will have to send its agents to spray pesticides in the particular area.
Conclusion
We had to leave to Kitowo. We encourage them to start the preparation of the coming farming season. We gave the Pastor one rain gauge. Going to Kitowo, we take with us the District Pastor of this area.

We instructed them on how to measure the 1acre plot using miter tape instead pacing. We did not have enough time to measure their plot. We asked Pastor and the District Pastor to supervise the measuring process. We asked them to measure two ½ acres, one for corn and another one for beans.
Questions/Comments
The District Pastor asked all of the members of this Parish to fully participate in the program. The demonstration plot should be used as the learning tool.
They asked if there is special way to lay the crop residues in the farm
We told them that the crop residues can be laid in the farm in any way which a farmer finds suitable for him/her. It is better to spread them all over the farms that they should act as mulching. The important thing is they should not be burnt because they are required to add organic matter of the soil and reduce soil erosion
Conclusion
This is the area of people with knowledge about modern farming. Some of the agronomic practices we teach have been practiced here for a while. We hope they will participate in the demonstration plot and adopt new techniques quickly. Late in the afternoon we started a journey back to Iringa.

Comments
They asked us how do we come up with fertilizers’ recommendations of their area
We told them that the soil analysis of the soil samples we took from their areas determine type of fertilizers we recommend.
They discussed about the livestock eating crop residues- Problem. They agreed that they will speak with village leaders to try to resolve the issue.
Conclusions/Recommendations
We told them that we will go back in November to deliver seeds and fertilizers. We instructed them to start preparations of the plot as soon as possible.

o Soil
We discuss with the about their soil. We told them that their soil has low pH therefore it is acidic. We would not recommend the use of the fertilizers with has tendency of lower the pH of the soil. They should also increase the Organic matter of their soil, ie. by leaving the crop residues.
Comments
They asked what is appropriate time to plant, before the rain season or after the rain season starts
We told them that appropriate time of planting depends with the rainfall pattern of the particular area. As the institute we encourage people to plant right at the beginning of the rainy season because we want farmers to utilize all the rain they get during the season.
They asked whether it is appropriate to use herbicides to control weeds
We told them that herbicides usage is another good method of control weeds however. Mixing and spraying of herbicides must be done carefully and in accordance with the instructions of a particular type of herbicides. In the demonstration plot we will not use herbicides instead we will do normal weeding.
How many kinds of herbicides are there?
There are two kinds of herbicides, those we call selective herbicides and the Non-selective herbicides ones. The selective herbicides kill certain types of plants and are usually applied when crops are already in the farm. Non-selective herbicides kill all kinds of plants and they are usually applied before planting.
Conclusions/Recommendations
We insisted that they should start weeding now. Their plot is should be clean at the time of planting. We will go back in November to deliver seeds and fertilizers.
