Currently products such as banana fruits are commonly found in people’s diets
The effective field capacity averaged 0.1 ha/h with minimum and maximum of 0.09 ha/h and 1.12 ha/h, respectively. This indicates that it requires about 10 hours to weed one hectare of a maize field as opposed to 80 man–hours required when done manually as reported by and . Therefore, weeding using the developed cultivator can …
