The corn that was planted in November has grown quite tall. We are about a month and a half away from harvest and we’re excited to have our first round of data on growth and yield related to the treatments we applied to the soil. 

The plátano has also grown quickly since it’s planting in October. We’ve begun taking measurements on the crops with the help of students from the Instituto in Pilcopata. Measurements for plátano include height, stem circumference, and number of leaves. 

Pineapple is the slowest grower of the 3 crops that were planted. Pineapple measurements include plant height, number of leaves, and the length of the longest leaf. These measurement data for the various crops will provide some preliminary data to start analysis on the effectiveness of the treatments
