Abstract:
The industrial training was conducted at NaSARRI in Olio Sub County, Serere district, there are five programs conducted namely cotton, oil crops, dry land legumes, dry land cereals, and farm management. The main objective the of training was to produce practically hands-on orientated field experience.
During the training at NaSARRI, different activities were carried out that included; disease identification in most programmes, thinning in green gram, seed sorting in cotton, data collection across all programs, scouting of flowers, emasculation in ground nut and cotton, selfing and crossing in ground nut and cotton,
However, some challenges were encountered during the IT such as inadequate equipment for laboratory and data collection work, and drought that adversely affects the experiments.
In conclusion, I gained a wealth of experience with regard to work and I am very optimistic that this industrial training will contribute significantly to my carrier development as an agricultural professional.
