Pupil Develops Solution to Help Crops Survive Drought

Maria Malindi is already searching for answers. one of Zambia's biggest agricultural challenges Mali Mpule at Mosonda Girls Technical School in Muansa District The Province has developed a la a soil-based system designed to help crops retain moisture while improving soil fertility. She presented the innovation at to do to do to do to do. t The Jets Fair held at the National Science Centre in Lusaka So you can leave this be for fifteen to ten minutes. Then, once that's done, you can simply remove the seedlings. Then you plant Plant them in soil. This helps the plants grow and remain for longer periods without requiring it a large amount of water for it to stay healthy and green. So it also helps to have it the plants a hormone in it allowing it to be part of the plan t s At the end of the journey, there is rest, and at the end of the path, there is peace. Maria from innovation is doing it as if Maisha mawwa mawe protecta ambayo wa jwa on the way of each and every one of us and the one who made us The truth is that he is the one who has been waiting to leave. Therefore, it will be done on the weekend, if possible, on Saturday, 2020 up and they like. So my i Innovation can help those farmers by allowing them to stay for longer periods even though they haven't watered their plant. It also provides n ut Mkati. That will make you weak and cause you to collapse. They serve as fertilizers at the same time. And with farmers increasingly facing unpredictable weather patterns Maria believes Zambia. needs to invest in home advanced scientific solutions. National Science Center Director Professor Benson Banda says young innovator such as Maria need to be encouraged as competence-based The curriculum seeks to produce learners capable of solving real-life problems. Problems With the new curriculum that has come, You can easily say less, and the children will speak for you. For example, I am now hoping that it is very clear, We are going to have a dry season. What are you going to implement strategically at the school? To mitigate the basics, for example, the water system? Is that acceptable? For Maria, what started as a school science project could become A solution for farmers beyond Mwense. She now hopes to receive support to develop and scale up the innovation for wider use across Zambia. Nyambena Liseboza, ZNBC News, Lusaka.
