Chinese experts experimenting on high production of Maize

Chinese agricultural experts experimenting on challenges of high production of maize in Botswana in a project near Kopong. If the out come of the experiment become positive it will double the production of maize despite the weather challenge. It is the first time in Botswana to experiment use of plastic sheet in the process of producing maize says one of the chinese expert Ping Wan on 1st of February at the project area. Plastics are basically used to reduce the chances of weeds , increase the temperature and control the evaporation adds the expert. Usually the current process gives two tons of maize in one hector but in the new expected process will give four tons in the same area of land. Though in the very early stage it is not very much different from the current process but later stage will show the result of the new method, further added the expert. They are using three different yards in this experiment, likely without plastic, using black plastic and transparent plastic to see which one gives better output. In some parts of China the similar process is used where there is weather challenges. Experts are explaining the purpose of the use of transparent plastic,black plastic and the current non-plastic process on 1st of February in Kopong (Pic:Press Photo)
