Activities performed February 1st to 28th 2015
- Trenching: 1,200 linear meters of trenches were dug and the drip irrigation system inserted.

- Pipe installation and irrigation: About 2,400 linear meters of pipes and irrigation buttons were installed. These pipes reached about 40% of the sown plants.
- Nursery maintenance & irrigation: 24,000 plants in the nursery received maintenance and irrigation work getting them ready for the 2015 planting season.
- Shade tree trimming: Trimming was performed, so the plants will receive the sun they need, allowing them to develop well.
- BIO-GREEN fertilization: About 40 sacks of BIO-GREEN (100% organic fertilizer), plus substrate, were used on the nursery plants to stimulate their germination and growth.
- Pest control: Every sown plant had CLOROPIRIFOS applied to provide pest control.
