On Friday, 26th March, 2021 , I together with my group mates had a meeting with Mr. Kyeyune Gerald  who is a specialist in crop pests and diseases   at CAES. During the meeting, he gave us more information in relation to the different pests and diseases that affect the crop of maize as well as the ways in which the plant can be taken care of.

 Fieldwork progress  blog Task: Identifying the resources and other materials on the imaging software using AI I carried out the research by asking a few people that have been directly involved in Data Science and I was given a few sites to check out so as to have a clear picture of how to go about it.  The site i was given is  https://github.com/datsciafrica/presentations/tree/master/kampala2020 .

1. On Monday 29th March, we met our supervisor to bring forward our project idea and get guidance in line with it. 2. I made a visit with the rest of my group mates to Kabanyolo Farm, a Makerere University Agricultural Research Center. The aim of the visit was to get an understanding of the maize plant which is the focus of our project.  3. We had a successful interview with Mr Lwasa Stephen, the farm manager. We used a questionnaire to carry out the interview. 4. During our meeting we recorded the interview and this guided us during the data document design for the project.  After the meeting we all had to come together and discuss how we would make sense of the information we got from kabanyolo farm.
