(3a)
(i) Soil requirement:
- Well drained soil, rich in nutrients
- Sandy-loamy soil
- Thrive on neutral or alkaline soil

(ii) Method of propagation:
- Propagated by seed
- May be planted manually and machanically

(iii) Planting date:
- Early maize is planted between March and April.
- Late maize is planted in August.
- Maize (early or late) is also planted depending on location and rainfall.

(iv) Seed Rate:
- 25 - 30kg maize seed is recommended per hectare.
- 2 - 3 seeds are also recommended per hole.
- Quantity usually depends on spacing/ plant population desired.

(v) Three methods of harvesting:
- Harvested either green or dry.
- Mostly harvested green for consumption when the silk dries and turns brown.
- Harvested by plucking the cobs on a small scale and by machines such as corn-picker on a large scale.

(vi) Storage:
- Cobs are stored in cribs,rhumbus and fire-place on a small scale
- Dry grains are stored in silos, on a large scale

(3b)
(i) Cultural Control: This involves the use of Crop Rotation, resistant varieties, tillage practices, regular weeding, fallowing timeliness of planting e.t.c to control or prevent disease.

(ii) Biological Control: This involves the use of natural enemies of diseases to reduce or totally eliminate the diseases.

(iii) Chemical Control: This involves the use of chemicals such as fungicides, nematicides and incesticides to dust or spray plant materials in order to prevent or control plant diseases.

(iv) Plant Quarantine: This involves the legal restriction on the movement of agricultural commodities for the purpose of exclusion, prevention or delay in the establishment of plant diseases in areas where they are not known to occur.

(v) Physical Control: This Involves the physical removal of infected crop or plant.

(4ai)
Progeny selection It is the choosing/selecting an animal based on the performance of the offspring for breeding purposes.

(4aii)
Pedigree selection is a breeding method in which the breeder keeps records of the ancestry of the cultivar.

(4aiii)

(4iv)
Outbreeding, is the transfer of gametes from one individual to another, genetically different individual

(4b)
