WEEK 4 (17 APRIL 2023)
SEED TREATMENT AND PREPARATION
VENUE: FIELD, UiTM JASIN
SUBMISSION DATE: 17 APRIL 2023


On the fourth week, my classmates and I started do seed treatment and preparation. First, we continue doing plowing manually which is using human energy before tractor came and help do plowing with the latest technology to save energy and time. Plowing is most important procedure to do in Agriculture to help new crop by getting enough nutrient and breaking the soil into small particles.

Soil became loose after plowing. 

 After done with land clearing and plowing, we moved to liming process.

Liming is a process to balancing pH for soil by using lime to avoid crop problems related to excessive acidity and improve fertility for optimum growth of crops.

Soil pH scales reading. 

To give an instance, this tool called soil meter to measure soil pH. 

Next, step is lining with objectives are to provide space to crop access their needs adequately. Other than that, is to achieve the most effective irrigation system and give each seedling the optimum growth space. 

Sir Zahid was briefing the task to our leader. 

We're using measure tape to mark the plot and divide by section for planting bed, drain and path between other class. It helps to do maintenance easier and drainage to flow the water. 





Meanwhile, other students fixed crop boundaries according to the size given.

Take a break with KitKat. Oh not yet.. we're still fasting...

Lining progress.

 We also studied and discussed about which seed suitable and easy to manage for our project. Among the seeds of lettuce, long beans, cucumber and pak choi. My class decided to plant long beans and lettuce for our crop.

Before do pre-planting, seed need to be soak first and then we put seed inside seedling box. 

From left above, pak coi, cucumber and the black color is long bean seed and lettuce next to it. 

After done with seed germinate, we keep seedling box inside green house to avoid direct sun. 

Last week we've been informed to pay 2MYR and collect to buy first aid kit as a preparation if any injured occur during field work. 

The challenge that I faced and new experience was the moment my friend had panic attack on 11.30am that day. Suddenly she became weak, and a few people in a rush go get her. Her face turned red and then she started screaming, her hand was shivering also difficult to breath. At first my friend and I who know about her condition in a detail, decided to walk away because too crowd of people helping her but then I do not feel right about it. She type of person won't tell others anything about her condition even in a critical time and I'm right. My friend and I, go back to that place to inform and help to calm her down. After that my lecturer, Sir Zahid fetched us from farm to the clinic and send us to Kolej Tun Gemala. 

Things that I learned is gain knowledge regarding how to deal with that situation. I learned from Sir Zahid because he was so calm and have a nice word to say to my friend while I was only told her to istighfar. I think I'm the one who need to istighfar. 

For next task we are going to do without fasting anymore because Ramadhan come to the end! Well.. I do not know is good news or not..
