Proposal summary:
I want to implement an intensive vegetable practices project. This project will demonstrate trickle irrigation, plastic mulch, vegetative mulch and raised beds. References indicate that vegetative mulches and raised beds can improve quality and quantity of vegetables, however, there practices are not used in our area. I want to obtain experiment and introduce these practices to our county and region.
