Addition of organic matter to the soil can come from various sources including roots and crop residue, kraal manure, green manure, mulch and compost.
In fields where there is danger of surface sealing, crusting, and hardpans, the farmer must maintain soil roughness ridging and soil coverage of crop residue.
These are very essential to slowing down the speed of runoff water and reduce evaporation.

Some of these discussions actually get heated and passionate between or among those in disagreement.
My view is that the white man has done lot to contribute to human history and certainly deserves a pat on the back, but that does not mean the rest of the various people should sit back and idolise the white man; the world tomorrow will be driven by Africans.

The farmer should not end up with his effort going to waste. The government has the responsibility to find ways of disposing off any high value crop for any foreign exchange earnings. Incidentally, not only the edible crops or vegetables are to be encouraged even the flowers if not locally utilized other people outside the nation would cherish these.
Zambia has very good agricultural environment for any crop to be grown more over the country has almost forty – five percent of the natural water in the southern region of Africa.
Let the water be used to the development of any crop a famer can think off, other countries are thinking of putting up estates here to grow food for their nationals imagine! ing than them.
Let’s teach them that all things are possible. After all, civilisation did begin along the Nile, and if my history serves me right, fire was first discovered in Africa. But we cannot live on past glory that’s actually millennia old, we have to rediscover a new form so as to be relevant to the world today and once again carve out a significant part of human history for ourselves.
We have played too many lousy roles over the course of history.

Let us not be like the Asian man I mentioned earlier who can even alter features in order to look like a Caucasian super hero. Let us also not be like Michael Jackson that went out of his way to ‘become’ a white man.
Let us instead emulate the Chinese and say whatever the pace setters can do, we can also do. If the pace setters make an aeroplane, we will also make an aeroplane.
If the pace setters make a global search engine, we will also produce someone from UNZA or ZCAS that will make a global search engine.
