Kibmist conducted a practical field demonstration in Magunga Ward, Homa Bay County, to showcase the effectiveness of vermiliquid fertilizer on maize crops.
85 households from the area participated in the day-long event which included:
- •Live demonstration of foliar and soil-zone application techniques
- •Side-by-side comparison of crops treated with vermiliquid vs conventional fertilizers
- •Discussion on the recommended 4-stage application guide (seed treatment, day 7, 3 weeks, 6 weeks)
- •Q&A session with Kibmist agronomists

Impact:
- •85 households directly engaged
- •30% reported income increase after adopting vermiliquid
- •Demonstration plots showed approximately 40% yield improvement
- •Strong interest in bulk purchasing arrangements
