Week 19 Topic Duration What you need for this lesson 1 2 nd Harvesting Desmodium from the two pushpull plots and the desmodium multiplication plot 2 Shelling and storage of maize 2 hours Topic 1 : 2 nd Harvesting Desmodium from the two Push-pull plots and the desmodium multiplication plot After you have harvested maize you can start harvesting desmodium pods and continue harvesting for another 2-3 weeks. As not all the pods will be ready at the same time, today we will discuss when and how to harvest. You learned how to harvest desmodium from the Push-pull plots in Season 1, Week 19. Please refer to the lesson details. Remember: this is a continuous activity that should continue for the next two to three weeks as the pods mature. Topic 2: Shelling and storage of maize Last week we discussed when and how to harvest maize. We then harvested the maize. This week we look at how to shell and store the maize. 2 hours Gunny bags, balance, 2kg tins (gorogoro) Maize sheller (optional) Note Note It is important to select only healthy and clean cobs for shelling. The diseased and rotten cobs must be destroyed because they may contain aflatoxin. After shelling, the grain should be dried for 3 or more days, cleaned and stored in a dry place protected from rats After removing the grains, the cobs can be used as livestock feed particularly during the dry season (See Season 1, Week 19) Keep separate records for Push-pull plots and for the Check plot.
