HOME WELCOME TO MAIZE PLANTING Demonstration Final review questions Introduction

The purpose of this instructional material is to equip agriculture extension workers so that they should train farmers. Objectives : By the end of the lesson you should be able to:  Practice ridge and plant spacing for maize.  Practice planting using single maize seed per station.

Why plant one seed of maize per station? Planting a single seed per station at 25cm apart helps to obtain:  A plant population of over 53,000 per hectare.  Increased yield of over 10,000kg per hectare for improved maize varieties and 3,000kg per hectare for unimproved varieties. Maize Yield

Demonstration Land preparation  Land should be deeply tilled to facilitate good root penetration, that allows the plant to get more water and mineral elements.  Land must be prepared before the first rains so that planting is done with the first rains.

Demonstration continued Review questions 1. When should land be prepared? a. Before the first rains b. Just after the first rains c. All the above

 You got the right answer. Congratulations!

 Sorry your answer is not correct, try again.
