Practical Work, Project and Field Visit

• Soil sampling: collect from several spots in a zigzag pattern, mix to one composite sample, air-dry, label with field and depth details.

• Field measurement: plot area of a rectangle = length x width; convert square metres to hectares by dividing by 10,000.

• Seed germination test: place a counted lot on moist paper, keep it warm, and germination percentage = germinated seeds / total seeds x 100.

• Project record format: title, objective, materials, method, observation table, result, conclusion and conclusion-linked suggestion.

• Field visit observation record: crop, variety, growth stage, spacing, irrigation method, pest or disease seen, and farmer practice noted.

• Pest and disease specimen collection: note host plant, symptom, date and locality; preserve leaf specimens pressed and labelled.

• Farm record keeping: daily diary of operations, input costs and yields supports the project report and enterprise costing.
