6. Diagnostic Surveys & Constraints
to Agricultural production
 AGRONOMIC PROBLEMS IN THE
TWO VILLAGES
 The farmers lack knowledge of accurate
measurement of fertilizer to be applied
to their crops .
 The farmers have no knowledge on
curing and cheap methods of making
organic fertilizers such as compost
making, green manuring, night soil, and
fallow system.
 They lack scientific principle for effective
weed control of stubborn weeds.
 Lack of fund to buy fertilizer and
agrochemicals
 Lack of access to credit facilities
 Lack of tractor and other farm
machineries
 Poor pricing of agricultural produce
 Rodent and insect pests infestation
 Low yield of crops

51. Summary of success story
 Strengthened and organized the farmers, Processors and
students as a more cohesive, purposeful and result-
oriented groups .
 Created awareness and educated the farmers on the
improved practices.
 As a result of the above, increased yields of rice has been
obtained by individual farmers that translated into
increased income.
 The women Rice processor group has ordered for three(3)
sets of processing equipments, following the training they
received and the resultant high quality rice they obtained.

52. Summary of success story con’d
 Production and delivery of specified Breeder seeds
 Some infrastructural facilities put in place in the
course of project execution represents some form of
rural development & transformation.
 The use of poultry manure from the Adopted Schools ‘
poultry farm is an environmental –friendly practice
that safeguards the resource base.
 The provision of sitting materials and resource books
to the Adopted Schools represents some forms of
advancement and development.

53. Summary of success story con’d
 Airing all the activities in the Radio and Television
programmes.
 Generation & documentation of Detailed Reports,
Proceedings and CDs of activities in the Adopted
Villages and Schools.
