Abstract:
Starting in 1966 the crop production staff of the Chilalo Agricultural
Development Unit (CADU) has undertaken surveys in the Chilalo awraja
on the yields of the most frequent, crops. The purpose of the surveys
carried out during the harvesting season in the months of November -
December, has been to get an objective estimation of the average levels
of yields of different crops in the area.
The investigation in 1966 primarily had the character of an introductory
survey to gather experience in the field and consequently was carried out
on a limited scale, whereas the survey in 1967 was more comprehensive.
Because of the small number of samples taken in 1966 and 1967 and. the fact
that they were not statistical samples, the results obtained here can not
be used to estimate accurate crop yield of Chilalo awraja or the different
localities, where the samples were taken.
