Abstract:
The field attachment was carried out from Nadunget sub-county located in Moroto District from 28th of Feb to 22nd of April 2022.
The projects are owned by the organization of co-operation and development and deals majorly on animal section and crop section which consists of so many activities, a number of animal and crop management practices were carried out during my stay at the fields such as de-worming goats, spraying goats against ticks and lice and mange. Clearing farmers' gardens to receive crops, plus identification of diseases in poultry with the corresponding treatments.
During the IT under crop section where I was allocated, I carried out various activities that included field marking, planting different types of crops, crop protection, pests and disease identification and their control measures, gap filling, etc and in animal section activities incl Lilied; treating of sick poultry, spraying poultry house, restraining of goats etc.
I also gained skills and knowledge in crop production like identification of various types of seedlings in the green house, field marking techniques, identifying different types of crops, identification of pests and diseases in crops and the common tools used in crop and animal production.
While in the training, I learnt a lot of things both practically and theoretically that gave me more knowledge to add to that one that we learnt from class about crop and animal production, lot of activities were carried out from the field with maximum care to avoid problems of during data analysis.
I wish to request the administration of the organization to improve on the infrastructures location such as green house near the market centers in order to ease transportation of seedlings and storage of crop produce and also open up the irrigation systems to avoid wilting of crops and water shortage for seedlings in the green house.
Also, the organization should strongly support farmer field schools on their savings by putting some money on their saving boxes so as to motivate them and pay workers in time to avoid discouraging from doing their activities being allocated by the organization.
