ACTIVITIES

This week all students gather as usual for roll call before 640 am. All students attend on time and practice punctuality principles. The morning roll call started as usual and the morning exercise was held. After end of the roll call, the students have to go to the agrotech plantation site to sing my national song, the wawasan setia warga UiTM  and the planters song. All the students sang the song with enthusiasm. After that, the council held a recitation of surah Al-Kahfi, the first 10 verses and the last 10 verses. After finishing we wait for the lecturer to give a briefing.
 
At 8 o'clock in the morning the lecturer explained about making borders for plants. We jot down the important things in a notebook.

At 9 am, all the students along with the lecturer went to our plot to see the progress. The soil compactor tractor has compacted the soil making the process of raising the boundary easier. Some of the students measured the borders for the plants and half of the students started planting the seeds into the nursery pots.

At 12 pm the farm session was over, all the students lined up and went to the equipment store to store the equipment. The weather was very hot that day which made all the students feel tired and thirsty

7/7/2023, FRIDAY ACTIVITIES This week is the last week for the farm session and students must do the activities Harvesting and Post-Harvest Care, Final Harvesting Harvest long beans when they are ripe, Monitor the growth of the second crop, use appropriate fertilizers, and harvest the beans when they are ripe. After harvesting all the produce, we weigh and tie the long beans and sell them to buyers. On Friday, the farm activity is land clearing where we have to break the boundary so that it is flat as usual. Before that, we removed the okra trees that were in the border because most of the okra had been damaged by pests and diseases as a result of not applying insecticides. We had to throw it away because it couldn't be saved anymore. Also on Sunday, we have to go down to the farm to do land clearing for the last time. After completing the work, we celebrate with a little feast, which is a cocktail. All part 1 students were happy because that day was the last day to go down to the ...

The harvested plants have been separated, weighed according to type and put in plastic. The vegetable type plants have received a lot of response from uitm staff and lecturers.
