Application For Teaching Team|| Steemit Learning challenge Season 22 || Team_Agro
Hello!
This is another moment for our team to make our application post for Learning Challenge Season 22. We have done it in season 20 and believe a consolidation to this path would be ideal to our teaming students. I will be sharing our teaching team application post on "Team-Agro" and also hopeful that we are given the job to serve in the same capacity. For your anchors in this path of agricultural wealth of knowledge are; @mainuna and @xkool24 in the team.

Agriculture is the backbone of most economic mainstay of most countries, the foundation of human civilization, and the industrialization we have today through the use of raw materials and the provision of food for better living. It is a collective word that entails the cultivation of crops, livestock management, and the management of natural resources for other productive activities. Looking back, we can attest that agriculture has mutated significantly, with technological advancement and sustainable practices all improved upon.

My username on steemit is @mainuna. Joined Steemit in 2021. I try to stay active with my agriculture-based posts on Steemit from time to time. I completed my studies in agriculture a few years ago. Because after passing the 10th standard, you have to study agriculture for 4 years. I am a farmer and a proud one for that matter.
I am currently employed in an agricultural company as an agronomist where I have continued to do what I know best. The life of a farmer is promising no matter how it is viewed. I have been involved in various agricultural projects during my four years of study, one of which was seedling production by tissue culture method. This is a method, most of us would want to know more about. Very amazing!!! I have visited and handled several projects and just this week, I was at a bean farm to ascertain its yield performance and potential pest and disease prevalence.
There is also an ongoing project work on robotics for agriculture and research on growing crops at the right scale. Another agricultural project I have been working on for quite some time is the proper use of C14. I am also working as a supervisor for several projects, namely Black Rice Project, Orange Farming, and Dragon Farming.
For my position on Steemit, I am employed as a moderator in #Steem-Entrepreneurs, where I have continued to moderate several Agricultural contest topics and also actively support the Steem-agro community for high agricultural performance.
@Xkool24
This is me with steemit username @xkool24 from Nigeria. I joined the Steemit platform in November 2020, and it has been quite an interesting journey for me because it has been an awesome journey all along. I have achieved many things, and among them is helping build the country's community to its enviable position where it is barely on an auto-run acceleration and as well in the Steem-Agro community, a hub of agricultural activities in steemit.
I am an Agricultural Economist with a decade of experience in telecommunication business and retail sales. Before joining a career path with the telecommunication industry, I participated in several Agricultural projects, such as snail production, farm practice, and yield growth, appraisals of poultry farmers' access to micro-credits, etc. As policymakers, we are always keen on agri-based developments to formulate policy poised to promote agricultural sustainability, food security, and overall sector growth.
Steemit is part of my daily life, I am always active both in the role of administrator/moderator sponsoring contests and other activities or in the role of user participating in contests and dynamics of different communities. I may not be over-ambitious but determined to work hard, be inclusive in my approach, and be ready to serve rightly.
I was a member of the greeters team a few years ago, which was a very interesting experience for me. An experience with the responsibility of training, guiding, and reviewing these newbies in the ecosystem, especially from member countries. I'm also an admin in @steem4nigeria community, the largest community of Nigerians on Steem Blockchain, and also an admin in #Steem-agro, a hub of all agricultural activities.

We already have a six-week pack of agricultural topics lined up for our teaching, but for this application, we will be presenting to you just three out of these six topics.
This is one way we've been able to effectively improve soil mositure, discomtinue weed infestation, and regulate soil temperature. The use of this agro-practice has improved soil nutrient fertility by also reducing over-dependence on synthetic fertilizers. A much clearer knowledge and details to be shared during classes...
Homework for Students
- What is mulching and why is it important in agriculture?
- What types of materials are used in mulching? Give examples.
- How does mulching help to maintain soil moisture?
- How to increase crop production by mulching method?
- When is the right time to apply mulching and in what season is it most effective?
All year farming has been a farming system put in place to strengthen sustainability and food security. Winter vegetable aligns with this farming concept with emphasis on producing fresh and nutritious fatm.prodices during off cycle farming system.
Homework for Students
- What kind of diseases or insects attack winter vegetables?
- What type of soil is best for growing winter vegetables?
- How should winter vegetables be stored?
- What is the impact of winter vegetable production on the environment?
- How does winter vegetable production help farmers' livelihoods?
This age-long farm activity has improved sustainability in the system. The various irrigation types are all tailored toward the use of water relative to plant performance. We cannot remove the importance of this given its relative in cubbing waste, reducing incidences of crop water stress, and promoting all-year-round planting time (food security).
Homework for Students
What are the available irrigation methods in your region and how are they applied on the farm?
List two different irrigation methods you know, and state their advantages and disadvantages. References are directed to their water efficiency, labor need, type of crop, and yield.
How do you maximize and optimize the use of mechanical collection methods to reduce losses and reduce the cost of labor?
In storing our crops, what best practices can we employ to maintain quality and shelf life of farm produce especially perishable crops
These weekly topics are subject to change, given the participation and feedback. There are arrays of topics in view, yet untapped but all friendly for assimilation and participation.
We hope to be given this job as we warmly tender this piece as our application post therein.
Kind Regards
@xkool24

Agriculture is the way forward, it's life, and we can't do without agriculture in our lives. Having able hands to educate us on agricultural activities is what I don't take for granted; I didn't participate, though I read all your topics in season 20, but this time, I won't only read, but participate if you are chosen. Even though I am not an agriculturalist, I do practice agriculture, especially agricultural processes that relate to my profession, and I would be thrilled to learn effective planting which Begins with the preparation of the soil. I wish this team all the best, and success.
