Abstract:
The field attachment was carried out from Ngolereit sub-county located in Napak District from 28th of Feb to 03rd of May/2022.
The exercise was done in Ngolereit Sub County which involved the following activities. Crop management practices were carried out during my stay at the fields such as, carrying out seed viability, raising of beds, clearing farmers' gardens to receive crops, plus identification of diseases which affects the crops 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.
I also gained skills and knowledge in crop production like identification of various types of seedlings in the raised bed, field marking techniques, identify different types of crops, identification of pests and diseases in crops and the common tools used in crop.
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 production, lot of activities were carried out from the field with maximum care to avoid problems during data analysis.
I wish to request the administration of the Ngolereit sub county to improve on the infrastructures location such as raised seed bed near the market enters in order to ease transportation of seedlings and storage of crop produce and also open up the irrigation systems to avoid wasting of crops and water shortage for seedlings in the raised seed bed.
Also, Ngolereit sub-county should strongly support the local farm on their savings by putting some money on their saving boxes so as to motivate them and ay the workers in time to avoid them getting discouraged from doing their activities being allocated by the sub county.
