Many farming activities pose serious risks of pesticide exposure, such as land preparation for cultivation, storing, mixing, preparing and spraying of pesticides, and loading and cleaning of spraying equipment [ 6].
All these methods minimize expense and land preparation, tending to leave the soil rough, which reduces erosion and increases water intake.
It said: "While the forecast is positive for the south-west – an important surplus-producing zone – it suggests an increased likelihood of below-average rainfall in the conflict-affected areas, where displacement and seed shortages have already compromised land preparation and planting".
Additional costs include building a foundation and land preparation.
Land preparation consisted of the traditional practices used in area.
Land preparation and agronomic practices must be supported with appropriate technologies.
They are also increasingly used in land preparation during the rainy season (Mohammed and Hoffmann 2006).
Pre-cropping chemical analysis of the experimental soil was carried out before land preparation (Table 2).
This Expert System consists ofsix subsystems namely; variety selection, land preparation, sowing, irrigation, fertilization, and harvest.
The most effective policy scenario was the provision of inputs such as fertiliser and land preparation.
