GROVE CARE PRACTICES AND THEIR ADVANTAGES.
PRUNNING: Pruning enables penetration of light from the sun which is required for photosynthesis through which food for the trees is made. It also eliminates groove pests like rats which may hinder tree growth if not leading to total tree destruction. Pruning provides space thus providing room for the growth of young trees.
THINNING: Thinning in a grove has various advantages among which are ensuring a required tree size due to light penetration, Reducing competition for soil nutrients thus providing better growing abilities and providing enough space that can ease detection of pests or allow young trees to come into contact with sunlight. carbondioxide is used by the grove thus provision of carbon free air.
TREE REPLACEMENT: This should be done to the tree that dies so that all Grove’s trees to grow
CREATING A FIRE LINE: It is done for emergency in case of outbreak of grove fires, these fires are common in dry areas and always locate their origin from the grove’s environment.as an added advantage, a fire line limits contact between the grove and the environment thus slowing or reducing the spread of grove related diseases. In addition,
MULCHING: Can be done especially to the young grove .the mulches hold water as reserve in preparation to dry conditions. After decay, mulches also provide manure which may hold required nutrients for the grove

FRUIT TREES ARE BENEFICIAL TO TIST COMMUNITY.
These are trees that bear fruits of which are eaten by people. Trees have many uses of which we get medicine and we get timber when trees mature to 30 years and more. We get fruits like oranges, mangoes, ovacado, jack fruit that have enabled us reform our bodies too. There’s what we call saving life by promoting more and more trees and have promoted healthy life among TIST farmers and the community too.

PLANTING TREES SAVES NATURE.
Planting trees is one of the most important things you can do to save the environment. Even people living in big cities can play a vital role in greening their environment. Here are some of the simple, cost effective way by which you can plant a tree, and do your little bit to green your world: 1- If you have a big enough garden, plant trees for they can cool your homes considerably. 2-Select appropriate plants to suit your garden and the climatic conditions. Your local nursery society can help you. 3-If your garden is too small for trees, have plants and creepers instead. Every green plant helps to reduce the carbon dioxide we are letting out in to the atmosphere. 4-If your garden lacks Water for gardening, plant drought resistant plants like flowering shrubs etc. 5-Compost your leaf waste to avoid use of chemical fertilizers. 6-Make saving trees a personal commitment.....Conserve trees, save nature. Follow all the directives given by the Government and ministry of health. Stay safe during this pandemic.

STEPS FOLLOWED WHEN PRACTICING CONSERVATION FARMING.
M• Clear your plot out of weed and bushes, do not plough.
• Prepare your holes rectangle shape and spacing between 15 cm wide, 35cm, long and 15cm deep, Space holes at least 75cm apart.
• Take some manure and good topsoil and mix it together, use compost manure fill the hole with the mixture up to 5cm from the surface.
• When you plant the maize seeds 1-2 days before rains start, plant 4 seeds in the soil across the hole.
• Cover the seeds with 2-5cm of the rich soil and manure mixture, after this the soil in the hole should be about 3.5 cm below the surface of the field.
• The space at the top of the hole enables water to get to the plants when the rain comes.
• Weed around the holes regularly.
• Do not use chemical fertilizer on the Conservation Farming plot.
• Do not till the land, just clear the weed and make the hole.
• Do not burn of the remains on the plot, leave the residue leave them on the ground so that they make the soil more fertile, crop residues can also be used for compost manure. Do not weed the entire plot completely, just weed around the holes. Start to prepare your holes now and be ready for the rain!
