Page 5 Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 D uring the global Ethical Tea Partnership annual meeting held in Nairobi, Kenya last month, a number of important participants got interested to know TIST better and see its work. TIST Kenya was represented in this important meeting by Ben and Vannesa Henneke, Kimani Mwangi, Dorothy Naitore and Patricia Wachuka. This Team did a wonderful presentation about TIST that made most people in the meeting want to see TIST.
On 9th May 2017, an arrangement was made to visit some of the TIST sites in newly expanded area of Makomboki Tea catchment area in Muranga County. Among the visitors included staffs from Unilver Ltd, Finlays Tea Ltd, Oxfam, Mars , Talyors Tea , Ethical Tea Partnership, GIZ and KTDA Foundation. Taylors Tea is an important partner with TIST in expanding tree planting effort in four Tea growing areas. The visit included a tour of Makomboki Tea Factory and field visits to TIST Farmers groves.The visitors were particularly impressed by efforts the farmers are doing in adding a diversity of trees in the farms.A TIST farmer, Mr. Zacharia Muhia, had this to tell the visitors, since TIST came to our area,
we have learned a lot. We are now planting trees in a professional manner. We have learnt how to do a raised seed bed. Our seedlings are doing better once we transplant them into the farms. Raised seed beds is all we wanted to assure high survival of our trees. We are grateful to TIST. Our visitors were very impressed with TIST. Farmers do the work by themselves. TIST only offers them trainings, support, encouragement and opportunity. Many of the visitors made requests to us to expand in their home areas.They said,TIST model is working! M ost TIST Small Groups appreciate and practice TIST Values. The success of TIST is based on the integrity and effort of individual members. Our achievements are largely guided by each one of us keenly abiding by these Values. In many of our activities, from tree planting, practicing Conservation Farming, improving biodiversity, building or buying improved stoves, teaching and practicing important health issues, protecting our lands against soil erosion and other degradation causes, fighting climate change and deforestation, protecting our rivers for clean and adequate water and many other activities including income generating,TIST Values play a central role. In TIST, We Are: We are Honest; We are Accurate; We are Transparent; We are Servant to each other; We are Mutually Accountable; We are Role Models; We are Volunteers.
And we create Big Results with Low Costs! TIST Receives Visitors from key Tea Local and International Buyers. TIST VALUES:The Foundation and Strength of TIST. ENGLISH VERSION 3 W e, Kirubia TIST Cluster from Tharaka Nithi County, are happy for the rains this season. We are working together again, to plant more trees and do more tree nurseries. Last year, 2016, we helped Karurini Primary School in planting over 500 trees.This we do, to encourage pupils the importance of trees and teach them how to plant trees. We have been monitoring these trees and many of the trees have survived. This year, our focus is on Mugwe Primary School. We have already helped them plant 200 gravellia trees and 350 indigenous trees Minguani and Muriru trees. Like in previous rainy season, we are sharing again, among ourselves the tree seedlings that are ready for planting.The cluster members are determined to enlarge the tree nursery so that we can share with nearby institutions. B iodiversity, the richness and variety of nature, is essential to a healthy environment. Variety is especially important for responding to change and challenges, like drought, pests, or climate change. Since biodiversity is so important, you might think that people everywhere are working to make sure we protect and preserve this natural richness.
However, each day, because of our human actions, we are losing species and genetic diversity as forests are cut, wetlands are drained, and resources are over-exploited. We see this loss every day. Think of how many kinds of plants, birds, and animals that you saw often when you or your parents were young but that are rare or gone today? There are nine million different species of organisms on our planet, and when we destroy them, it is a permanent loss for each of the seven billion people who share this planet, for our children, and for their children. TIST farmers are making a difference, working to preserve this rich diversity. Each tree we plant is an important renewable resource. Each tree we plant reduces pressure on natural, diverse forest since we can use it instead of cutting forests for fuel wood, timber, and other products. When we plant indigenous trees, as many groups have in riparian buffer groves and thousands of TIST farmers have on their farms, we directly protect biodiversity. These diverse indigenous trees also provide habitat and food for insects, birds, and animals, many of which are important for pollinating our crops, eating pests, or keeping our soil healthy.

TIST protects biodiversity. ENGLISH VERSION 4 E very farmer knows how difficult it can be to keep crops and trees free from pests and diseases.There are many different types of pests that can damage your fields including rodents, insects, birds, fungi, bacteria and viruses. Weeds are unwanted plants that reduce productivity by competing with your trees and crops for nutrients, water, space and light. This article is split into two parts - the first part gives some broad advice on general management strategies, which can reduce the risk of pests and diseases.These use best practices from conservation agriculture. The second part collects some of the most useful advice from the internet on specific pests, diseases and strategies. It is not possible in this article to cover all the different crop types, pests and appropriate control strategies that TIST small groups need information on. It is important for trainers to research with their small groups what the most common problems are. Then trainers can access solutions through checking the resources provided in this article. Sometimes being a good trainer is not knowing all the answers at once, but knowing where to look for further information! Part A: General pest management strategies Through using the best practices from conservation agriculture you will also be helping to protect your fields from pests and diseases.
The following are some key points to consider: Fertile soil: Having soil rich with nutrients gives your crops the best chance of growing well and stronger crops will be more resistant to diseases. Crop rotation: Certain pests depend on a specific food source. If you grow the same crop in a field year after year it increases the risk of pests being able to survive and thrive in that area. Changing the crop through rotation practices means that pest cycles can be disrupted and damage to your crops minimized. Intercropping: Increases the diversity of plant life in the plant, and can help prevent one type of pest dominating. Certain pests also get confused by intercropping and do not spread as quickly as in a field with just one crop. Try intercropping with plants, which repel some pests through their odor (such as onion, leek, mint, garlic, sweet basil, oregano, marigold). Cover crops and mulching: Are not just good for increasing soil fertility and water content, but can also reduce weeds by increasing shade. Do not use plant material that has flowered and seeded as your mulch, however, as this may accidentally spread diseases. Use resistant crop varieties where possible: Remember that indigenous seeds may be the most resistant of all in some cases and it is not always necessary to buy imported strains. However, the context varies and you should get local knowledge from other small groups. TIST: Pest Management. ENGLISH VERSION 5 Removal of diseased plans or plant parts: Diseased plants need to be properly disposed of so that they do not spread the infection to other healthy plants. Sometimes it is clear that the whole plant is not affected and can be controlled through pruning of specific branches. Plant seeds that are disease-free and appropriate: to the local conditions to give your crops the best chance of survival.
If you are applying nitrogenous fertilizer: make sure you are using the correct amounts, as over- fertilizing a field may increase the risk of certain pests. Consider making and using compost instead. Attract natural enemies/farmers friends: these include predators (those that eat the pests), parasitoids (they lay eggs in certain insects that are killed when the larvae hatch) and pathogens (infectious agents causing disease in pests). Examples include conserving ladybirds, spiders and hoverfly larvae, which feed on aphids, caterpillars and other pests. Hedges and mulch can provide good habitats for many natural enemies, as can certain flowering plants such as fennel and celery. However, it is important to be able to tell the differences between which are your farmers friends and which are pests! Resources in the second part of this article will help you identify natural enemies at different stages of their life cycle, and which ones are most useful for the specific crops you are growing. If you have tried the above suggestions and still have pest problems, you may need to consider pesticides. Some pesticides you can make yourself using natural ingredients and others you can buy from shops. Both types need to be used very carefully. The correct use of them can kill the pests and weeds, and increase crop yields. However, inappropriate use can kill beneficial organisms such as pollinators (e.g. bees) and natural predators which feed on pests. Pesticides can lead to resistance in pests, and can be harmful to human health if not applied in the right concentrations. If you do use pesticides, ensure you carefully follow the correct storage, usage and disposal guidelines. Wear the right type of clothing and make sure to wash yourself and your clothes after applying any pesticide. Get the right dilution, ensure you know whether to spray down on the plant or up from underneath (or both) to find the pests, chose pesticides which are specific to the pest you have a problem with, and choose ones with as low toxicity as possible.
Using broad spectrum pesticides in high concentrations which kill everything may actually be worse for your crops and the ecosystem, so take the time to educate yourself on which products are most appropriate to the problem you are facing. Weeding: Although it is hard work, it is worth keeping your fields as clean as possible. Remember that some weeds can be beneficial some types fix nitrogen, some can be used for fodder, some have medicinal properties and some produce flowers useful for producing nectar for bees. ENGLISH VERSION 6 TIST: Best Tree Species. Common Names Tree description Land type Uses Seedling information Other notes Mango Magnifera indica Densely leafed evergreen tree, dark green leaves, edible fruit Best in tropical zones with a pronounced dry season Firewood, food, fodder, beeforage, windbreaks, mulch, ornamental, shade, canoes Can be sown directly into seedbeds or pots, or direct into the ground. No pretreatment needed, but nipping seed enhances germination Grafted material is used for better fruit production. Good varieties have fruits without fibre and do not smell like turpentine. Fruit is rich in Vitamins A & C. Grevillea robusta Silky oak Semi-deciduous, oval leafy crown, dark grey bark, green, silvery leaves, golden-orange flowers Needs fairly welldrained soil Firewood, charcoal, poles, timber, fodder, bee forage, soil conservation, shade No pre-treatment of seeds needed Planted with tea, coffee and rubber as boundaries. Grows well with food crops if managed to reduce shade. Important dry season fodder D uring your Cluster Meeting, let members discuss in groups and write a list of trees they think are good to grow in their area (trees that have lots of benefits but minimal disadvantages).Then ask the groups for feedback their answers. Each group gives one answer at a time, then rotate around the groups until all the answers have been given. Make sure all the groups have written down the full list.Then ask them to go back into their groups to discuss which they think are the six most important trees. Take the feedback answers and write down the new list. Discuss the list in the large group and get people to agree on the final version of the list. Once you have the list of the six best trees to plant, ask the groups to think about the following questions: • What is the best type of land for this tree? • What are the main uses of this tree?
• Describe the tree – color, flowers, bark, thorns etc .
• What is the best way to grow the seedlings? Is any treatment needed for the seeds before they are sown?
• How long do the seeds normally take to germinate? • How long after germination do you transplant the seedlings?
• Are there any disadvantages of this tree? It may be good to use the following table to help you organize the information. Example of table you can use (Mango and Grevillea are examples only): Published by TIST-Kenya.

TIST Kenya iliwakilishwa katika mkutano huu muhimu na Ben na Vannesa Henneke, Kimani Mwangi, Dorothy Naitore na Patricia Wachuka. Timu hii ilifanya uwasilishaji ajabu kuhusu TIST na kuwafanya watu wengi katika mkutano huo kutaka kuona TIST. Mnamo tarehe 9 mwezi wa Mei mwaka wa 2017, utaratibu uliwekwa ili kuyatembelea baadhi ya maeneo mapya ya TIST yaliyopanuliwa ndani ya eneo la ukuzaji chai la Makomboki katika Kaunti ya Murang’a. Miongoni mwa wageni waliokuwa ni pamoja na wafanyakazi kutoka kampuni ya Unilver Ltd, Finlays Tea Ltd, Oxfam, Mars, Talyors Tea, Ethical Tea Partnership, GIZ na KTDA Foundation. Kampuni ya Taylors Tea imekuwa mshirika muhimu wa TIST katika kueneza shughuli za upandaji wa miti katika maeneo nne ya kukuza mmea wa chai. Ziara hiyo ilihusisha kuzuru kiwanda cha Makomboki Tea Factory na kutembelea mashamba ya wakulima wa TIST. Wageni walifurahishwa sana hasa na juhudi ambazo wakulima wanafanya katika kuongeza aina tofauti za miti katika mashamba yao. Bwana Zacharia Muhia ambaye ni mkulima katika TIST aliwaambia wageni ya kwamba tangu TIST ikuje katika eneo lao, wameweza kujifunza mengi. Kwa sasa, wanapanda miti ka njia za kitaalamu. Wamejifunza jinsi ya kukulia mbegu kitanda.Miche yao pia inafanya vyema baada ya kupandikizwa katika mashamba. Anasisitiza ya kwamba jinsi ya kukulia mbegu katika kitanda ni jambo walilokuwa wakitaka ili kuhakikisha maisha ya mbegu zao. Wanashukuru TIST. Wageni wetu walistaajabishwa sana na TIST. Wakulima hufanya kazi kwa wenyewe. TIST hutoa mafunzo, misaada, faraja na fursa. Wageni wengi waliomba tuweze kupanua TIST hadi maeneo yao ya nyumbani. Walisema ya kuwa mfano wa TIST unafanya kazi.
B aadhi ya Vikundi vidogo vya TIST vinafahamu na kujaribu maadili ya TIST. Mafanikio ya TIST yana misingi ya uadilifu na juhudi za wanachama binafsi. Mafanikio yetu kwa kiasi kikubwa yanaongozwa na kila mmoja wetu kuyafuta maadili haya. Katika shughuli zetu nyingi, kutoka kwa upandaji wa miti, utumiaji wa Kilimo Hai, kuboresha viumbe hai, ujenzi au ununuza wa meko bora, kufundisha na kufanya mazoezi ya masuala muhimu ya afya, kulinda ardhi dhidi ya mmomonyoko wa udongo na shughuli zingine zilizo na uharibifu, kukabiliana na mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa na uharibifu wa misitu, kulinda mito yetu ili tupate maji safi na ya kutosha na shughuli nyingine nyingi zikiwa ni pamoja na kuzalisha mapato, maadili ya TIST huwa na jukumu kuu.

KISWAHILI VERSION 3 S isi, Cluster ya TIST ya Kirubia kutoka kaunti ya Tharaka Nithi, tuna furaha kwa kuwa tuna mvua msimu huu. Tunafanya kazi kwa pamoja tena ili tupande miti zaidi na tutengeneze vitalu zaidi vya miti. Mwaka jana, 2016, tuliisadia shule ya msingi ya Karurini kupanda miti zaidi ya mia tano (500). Tunafanya hivi ili kuwahimiza wanafunzi waone umuhimu wa miti na tuwafunze jinsi kuipanda miti. Tumekuwa tukifuatilia miti hii na idadi kubwa ilinusurika. Mwaka huu, lengo letu ni Shule ya Msingi ya Mugwe. Tayari tumewasaidia kupanda miti mia mbili (200) ya gravellia na miti mia tatu na hamsini (350) Minguani na Muriru miti. Kama katika msimu uliopita wa mvua, tunashiriki tena kwa kusambaza kati yetu miche ya miti ambayo ni tayari kupandwa. Wanachama wa Cluster wameamua kupanua vitalu vya miti ili tuweze kusashiriki na taasisi jirani. V iumbe hai—utajiri na aina ya asili— ni muhimu kwa mazingira yaliyo na afya. Aina pia ina umuhimu hasa kwa kukabiliana na mabadiliko na changamoto, kama ukame, wadudu, au mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa. Kwa kuwa viumbe hai ni muhimu sana, unaweza kufikiria ya kwamba watu kila mahali wana kazi ya kuhakikisha ulinzi na uhifadhi wa utajiri huu wa asili. Hata hivyo, kila siku, kwa sababu ya matendo yetu kama binadamu, tunapoteza aina tabia za vizazi kwa sababu misitu inakatwa, ardhi oevu sasa ni mchanga, na rasilimali inatumikwa visivyo. Tunaiona hasara hii kila siku. Fikiria ni aina ngapi za mimea, ndege, na wanyama ulizoona mara nyingi wakati wewe au wazazi wako mlipokuwa vijana lakini sasa ni nadra. Je wamekwenda wapi leo? Kuna aina milioni tisa tofauti za viumbe katika sayari yetu, na wakati tunawaangamiza, ni hasara ya kudumu kwa kila mmoja wa watu bilioni saba ambao wapo katika dunia hii sasa, kwa watoto wetu, na kwa watoto wao. Wakulima wa TIST wanafanya maamuzi tofauti, kwa kufanya jitihada kuhifadhi utofauti huu tajiri.
Kila mti tunaoupanda ni rasilimali muhimu mbadala. Kila mti tunaoupanda husaidia kupunguza shinikizo kwa misitu ya asili kwa sababu tunaweza kuitumia badala ya kukata misitu ya kuni, mbao, na bidhaa nyingine. Tunapoipanda miti ya asili, kama vikundi vingi vilivyofanya katika mashamba ya bafa yaliyo kandokando ya mito na maelfu ya wakulima wa TIST katika mashamba yao, tunalinda viumbe hai moja kwa moja. Miti hii mbalimbali ya asili pia hutoa makazi na vyakula kwa ajili ya wadudu, ndege, na wanyama, wengi ambao ni muhimu kwa ajili ya uchavushaji mazao yetu, kuwala wadudu, au kuweka udongo wetu na afya. Cluster ya TIST ya Kirubia: Kuweka Shule zilizokaribu nasi kuwa Kijani. Nguvu katika Utofauti: TIST hulinda viumbe hai. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 K ila mkulima anajua jinsi ilivyo vigumu kuweka mazao na miti mbali kutokana na wadudu na magonjwa. Kuna aina mbalimbali ya wadudu ambao wanaweza kuharibu mashamba yako wakiwa ni pamoja na panya, ndege, fungi, bakteria na virusi. Magugu ni mimema isizohitajika na hupunguza tija na kushindana na miti yako na mazao kwa ajili kupata ya madini, maji, nafasi na mwanga. Nakala hii imegawanyika katika sehemu mbili - sehemu ya kwanza inatoa ushauri mpana juu ya mikakati ya usimamizi wa jumla, ambayo unaweza kupunguza hatari ya wadudu na magonjwa. Hivi hutumia njia bora za kilimo cha hifadhi. Sehemu ya pili inakusanya baadhi ya ushauri muhimu sana kutoka kwa mtandao kuhusu wadudu maalum, magonjwa na mikakati. Haitawezekana kwa nakala hii kufidia aina zote za mimea, wadudu na mikakati sahihi ya kudhibiti ambazo zinahitajika na vikundi vidogo vidogo vya TIST vinahitaji maelezo kuhusu. Ni muhimu kwa wakufunzi kufanya utafiti na makundi yao madogo ili kujua matatizo gani ni ya kawaida. Kisha wakufunzi wanaweza kupata ufumbuzi kwa njia ya kuangalia rasilimali zinazotolewa katika nakala hii. Wakati mwingine, si vizuri kwa mkufunzi kujua majibu yote kwa mara moja, lakini kujua ni wapi pa kuangalia ili apate maelezo zaidi! Part A: Mikakati ya Usimamizi wa Wadudu kwa ujumla Kwa kutumia njia bora zinazotokana na kilimo cha hifadhi, wewe pia utakuwa unasaidia kulinda mashamba yako kutokana na wadudu na magonjwa. Zifuatazo ni baadhi ya hoja muhimu za kuzingatia: Udongo wenye rutuba: kuwa na udongo ulio na utajiri wa virutubisho hupea mazao yako nafasi nzuri ya kukua na kuwa mazao yatakuwa yanaweza stahimili magonjwa. Kukuza mimea kwa Mzunguko: wadudu fulani hutegemea vyanzo maalum vya chakula. Kama umekuza zao moja katika uwanja mmoja mwaka baada ya mwaka, unaongeza hatari ya wadudu kuwa na uwezo wa kuishi na kustawi katika eneo hilo. Kubadilisha mimea kwa njia hii ya mzunguko inamaanisha ya kwamba wadudu wanaweza kukatizwa na uharibifu wa mazao yako kupunguzwa. Kupanda mimea kwa mseto: njia hii huongeza tofauti ya maisha ya mmea unapoupanda, na inaweza kusaidia kuzuia aina moja ya wadudu sugu. Baadhi ya wadudu pia huchanganyikiwa na mseto na hawawezi kuenea haraka katika shamba lako kwa zao moja tu. Jaribu mseto huu na mimea ambayo kuzuia baadhi ya wadudu kwa njia ya harufu yao (kama vile vitunguu, leek, mint, vitunguu, sweet tamu, oregano na marigold). Mimea ya kufunikia na boji: si nzuri tu kwa ajili ya kuongeza rutuba ya udongo na unyevu, bali pia kupunguza magugu kwa kuongeza kivuli. Usitumie vifaa vya kupanda ambayo vina maua na mbegu kama boji yako kwani njia hii inaweza kuchangua kuenea kwa magonjwa kwa bahati mbaya. Matumizi ya mazao stahimilivu inapowezekana: Kukumbuka kwamba mbegu za jadi zinaweza kuwa stahimilivu na wakati mwingine si muhiu kununua aina zingine kutoka nchi za nje. Hata hivyo, mazingira yanatofautiana na unapaswa TIST: Usimamizi wa Wadudu. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 kupata maarifa ya ndani kutoka kwa makundi mengine madogo. Kuondolewa kwa sehemu za mimea zilizo na ugonjwa: Mimea migonjwa inahitaji kutupa vilivyo ili kukinga dhidi ya kueneza maambukizi kwa mimea mingine yenye afya. Wakati mwingine ni wazi kwamba si mmea wote ulioathirika bali ni sehemu ndogo basi njia ya kurekebisha ni kupogoa matawi maalum. Panda mbegu ambazo hazina magonjwa na ni sahihi: Na hali ya hewa ya unapopanda inayapea mazao yako nafasi nzuri ya kuishi. Kama unatumia mbolea ya naitrojeni: hakikisha ya kwamba unatumia kiasi sahihi, kwa sababu kutumia kiwango kingi inaweza kuongeza hatari ya wadudu fulani.
Fikiria kuhusu kutengeneza na kutumia mbolea badala yake. Kuvutia maadui asilia/marafiki kwa mkulima: Hawa ni pamoja na wanyama wanaokula wenzao (panoja na wanaokula wadudu), parasitoids (ambao hutaga mayai katika wadudu na kuwaua wakati wa mabuu kufika) na vimelea (husababisha uambukizaji na kusababisha magonjwa katika wadudu). Mifano ni pamoja na kuhifadhi ladybirds, buibui na mabuu ya hoverfly, ambao hula aphids, viwavi na wadudu wengine. Ua na boji inaweza kutoa makazi nzuri kwa ajili ya maadui wengi wa kawaida, kama vile mimea fulani ya maua kama shamari na celery. Hata hivyo, ni muhimu kuwa na uwezo wa kutofautisha kati ya marafiki wa mkulima na wadudu. Rasilimali katika sehemu ya pili ya nakala hii yatasaidia kutambua maadui asilia katika hatua mbalimbali za mzunguko wa maisha yao, na ambayo ndio ni muhimu sana kwa mimea maalum ambayo unapanda. Kama umejaribu mapendekezo yaliyo pale juu na bado una matatizo ya wadudu, unaweza kuhitaji kuzingatia kutumia dawa. Unaweza kujitayarishia mwenyewe baadhi ya dawa kwa kutumia viungo asili na wengine wanaweza kununua kutoka kwa maduka.Aina zote mbili zinahitajika kutumika kwa makini sana. Matumizi sahihi yanaweza kuua wadudu na magugu, na kuongeza mazao. Hata hivyo, matumizi mabaya yanaweza kuua viumbe manufaa kama vile pollinators (kwa mfano nyuki) na mahasimu ambao hula wadudu. Madawa ya kuulia wadudu yanaweza kusababisha wadudu kustahimili athari na pia yanaweza kuwa na madhara kwa afya ya binadamu kama hayakutumika katika viwango sahihi. Kama unatumia dawa, hakikisha kwa umakini ya kwamba unafuata miongozo ya uhifadhi, utumizi na utupaji wa dawa. Vaa aina ya mavazi yanayotakikana na uhakikishe ya kwamba umeoga na ukaosha nguo baada ya kutumia dawa yoyote. Pata usawa kati ya maji na dawa, hakikisha ya kwamba unajua kama dawa ni ya kupuliza kutoka chini ya mimea au ni ya kutoka chini kwenda juu (au zote mbili) ili kuwapata wadudu, chagua dawa ambazo ni maalum kwa wadudu ambao wanakutatiza na chagua zile zilizo na sumu ya chini iwezekanavyo. Kwa kutumia dawa zilizo na wigo mpana katika viwango vya juu ambazo huua kila kitu, mazao na mazingira yako yanaweza kuathirika. Kwa hivyo, chukua muda wa kujieleimisha juu ya bidhaa zinazoeza kuwa sahihi kwa tatizo linalo kukabidhi. Kupalilia: Ingawa ni kazi ngumu, ni kwa mathumuni yako kuweka mashamba yako kama safi iwezekanavyo. Kumbuka kwamba baadhi ya magugu yanaweza kuwa ya manufaa; baadhi husaidia kuongezea naitrojeni, baadhi kutumika kwa lishe, baadhi kwa mali ya dawa na baadhi kuzalisha maua kwa ajili ya kuzalisha nekta kwa nyuki. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Majina Maelezo ya mti Aina ya ardhi Matumizi Taarifa kuhusu miche Mengineyo Mango Magnifera indica Mti Wenye majani mengi na usioangusha majani, majani yaliyo ya rangi ya kijani kizito, matunda huliwa Bora zaidi katika maeneo ya tropiki yaliyo na msimu wa kiangazi ulio mrefu Kuni, chakula, lishe ya wanyama, lishe ya nyuki, kizuia upepo, kufunika udongo, kurembesha, kivuli, kutengeneza mitumbwi Yaweza kuoteshwa moja kwa moja vitaluni au udongoni. Hakuna matibabu yanayotakikana lakini kuvunja mbegu kidogo husaidia kuotesha kwa urahisi Kupandikizwa huleta uzalishaji bora wa matunda.Aina nzuri huwa na matunda yasiyo na nyuzi na yasiso na harufu kama ya turpentine. Matunda huwa yenye vitamin A na C. Grevillea robusta Silky oak Huangusha baadhi ya majani, taji la majani la mviringo, gome la rangi ya kijivu, majani ya kijani na fedha, maua yenye rangi ya dhahabu na machungwa Huhitaji udongo usioweka maji kwa muda mrefu Kuni, makaa, fito, mbao, lishe ya mifugo, lishe ya nyuki, kuhifadhi udongo, kivuli Hakuna matibabu yanayohitajika kabla ya kupanda mbegu Hupandwa pamoja na majani chai, kahawa na rubber kama mipaka.
Hukua vizuri pamoja na mimea ya vyakula ikitengenezwa kupunguza kivuli. Ni lishe nzuri sana ya mifugo wakati wa kiangazi K atika mkutano wenu wa cluster, waache wanacluster wajadiliane katika vikundi na waandike orodha ya miti wanayofikiri hukua vizuri katika eneo lao (miti iliyo na faida nyingi na hasara chache). Halafu uwaulize vikundi kuleta majibu yao. Kila kundi lipeane jibu moja moja, halafu mzunguke vikundi vyote hadi majibu yote yatakapopeanwa. Hakikisha vikundi vyote vimeandika orodha kamili. Halafu uwaulize warudi vikundini kujadiliana ni ipi wanayofikiri kuwa miti sita muhimu zaidi. Yachukue majibu na uandike orodha mpya. Jadilianeni katika kikundi kikubwa na waache watu waitikie orodha ya mwisho. Utakapopata orodha ya miti sita bora zaidi ya kupanda, waulize vikundi kufikiria kuhusu maswali haya: • Ni aina gani ya ardhi iliyo bora zaidi kwa mti huu?
• Matumizi muhimu ya mti huu ni yapi?
• Eleza mti –rangi, maua, gome, miiba na kadhalika. • Ni njia gani bora zaidi ya kukuza miche? Kuna matibabu yoyote huhitajika kable ya kukuza mbegu? • Ni muda gani mbegu huchukua kabla ya kuota? • Ni muda gani baada ya kuota huhitajika kabla ya kupandikiza miche? • Kuna hasara zozote zinazotokana na mti huu? Inaweza kuwa vizuri kutumia meza ifuatayo kukusaidia kuandaa taarifa hii. Mfano unaoweza kutumia (Muembe na Grevillea ni mifano pekee): TIST: Aina bora zaidi za miti.
