This shows one of our maize plantation. Within the same, there are some beans. This method of growing crops is referred to as inter-cropping. We believe that since beans are legumes, they can help to increase soil fertility in the due course.
The beans are at their flowering stage and by December, we shall have them harvested. We expect high yields from this field.
The species of beans in the photo on the right produces really
good output. For very good yields, they need to be staked. We locally call them NAMULONGE II.
This is the same species as the one above (NAMULONGE II).
Here the beans are planted in a banana plantation. We call this cover cropping and we believe that this method helps to control soil erosion as they (beans) help to cover the soil from the erosive agents (wind and running water).
The field on the right was planted a bit latter than the right season. We were unable to meet the exact planting season. We expect a little good yields out here.
The gardens here are only beans. We hope to get some good yields. All the beans are at their flowering stage.
We hope that the fields will help reduce our expenditure on food costs. We are really very happy about this and next season, we hope to continue the same project.
We also have fields of SOYA BEANS and GROUND NUTS.
