1.Introduction
South Sudan is to benefit from technology that is to be developed by young
Agriculture researchers on soya beans crop to boost food security. This will
enhance agricultural section improves practicality to farmers from
subsistent farming to more advance system.
This project is designed to help farmers in South Sudan to tightly follow up
their farming new techniques in a bid to enhance agriculture production to
improve food security create jobs and reduce poverty in South Sudan. We
shall use simple method to development it as a tool for farmers to begin
production locally.
The program once expanded will be introduce to the farmers using local
languages of understanding and also using available personal computers to
accomplish this agriculture project.
As a result of eliminating hunger and improve livelihood through enough
production, therefore come up with idea of evaluating the effect of different
varieties of soya beans production and yields in South Sudan.
A soya bean is one of the most extensively cultivated crops. More maize is
produced, by weight, than any other grain, and almost every country on
Earth cultivates maize commercially for a variety of uses.
The abundant cultivation of maize globally has led to concerns about mono
cropping and biodiversity, especially since genetic evidence suggests that
maize is radically less diverse than it was originally.
As maize plant do not produce tillers effectively. We cannot fill the gap if left
between plants, and therefore the effects of various plant densities on maize
are quite remarkable. An optimum plant stand can enhance the efficiency of
maize by exploiting growth factors in an effective manner. Plant densities
changed most during the last sixty years as new hybrids are tolerant to
greater plant densities (Tollenaar and Lee, 2002). Plant densities commonly
ranged between
25,000 to 30,000 plants ha-1, which increased to 39,500 plants ha -1 after the
dominance of hybrid varieties (Metcalfe and Elkins, 1980).
As fertilizer use increased in middle of 20 century, the research was focused
th
protein
and
lipid
metabolism.

The nutritional benefits of maize are also determined by its vitamin A, which
functions as an antioxidant in preventing diseases such as cancer. The high
fiber content is another characteristic linked to the nutritional benefits of
maize.
This condition makes it suitable for diets that are made to lose weight and
those made with the aim of lowering cholesterol levels.
Recent clinical studies in Japan, published in the journal Biochemical and
Biophysical Research Communications have shown that purple corn (Zea
mays L.) could be a great ally in the fight against diabetes and obesity
Last year a research team from Japan Doshisha University, Kyoto, was born
to see that the purple corn extract increases the activity of a gene that
regulates the function of fat cells. Obesity and diabetes are the great evils of
this new century, and the properties of the purple corn then open new hope
in preventing it.
Purple corn extract or juice is a powerful antioxidant. This corn is also a good
inhibitor of cholesterol and is a protector of the retina, stimulating blood
circulation and also prevents the development of colorectal cancer. Promotes
tissue regeneration, prevents cardiovascular diseases, retards degenerative
processes in general, has anti-wrinkle action, increases blood circulation,
encourages diuretic action, so that in future instead of the harmful soft
drinks, take purple corn juice.
More Health Benefits of Maize
1. Nutritious and highly appetizing
Maize flour is used to make nutritious bread which is highly palatable, and is
easily broken down in the body. When taken at intervals, bread helps to clean
the colon and the dextrose produced is commonly used for medicinal
purposes.
2. Prevents constipation
Popcorn is a wholesome staple food made by heating small grains. It is easily
digested by the body. In addition, it is practically starch-free and not
fattening, and is converted into intermediate carbohydrates and dextrin,
which is easily absorbed in the body. It promotes peristalsis and is also
beneficial in preventing constipation.
3. Reduces stomach acidity
Maize facilitates the removal of toxic food substance and also accelerates the
passage of faeces through the intestine. Additionally, it protects the digestive
tract thus promoting function of the gall-bladder and reducing stomach
acidity.
4. Combats the symptoms of certain cancers
Cereals generally wheat, rice, millet, oatmeal and maize should be eaten in
large quantities since they are sources of carbohydrates and starch.
According to recent studies, the use of maize helps to combat the effects of
certain cancers, as it reduces the development of cancer.
5. Reduce the risk of diabetes and heart diseases
Maize is low in cholesterol and fat content. Cereal or whole grains are great
sources
of
vitamins
and
minerals,
magnesium,
fiber
and
complex
carbohydrates. The fiber in whole grains helps to prevent the risk of heart
diseases and diabetes, and all its nutrients boost the immune system. The
main shortcoming is that most people are not aware of the numerous health
benefits of maize, hence fail to include it in their nutrition.
Appropriate fertilizer use leads to increased crop yields and high crop
recovery of the applied nutrients. Some elements may be hazardous to the
environment if used in various forms, i.e. nitrates and phosphates (Okalebo,
1987).
Efficient fertilization is there-fore important in ensuring crops attain maturity
within
specific
growing
seasons
(Okalebo,
1987).
Effectiveness
of
the framework conditions for agriculture and the sustainability level of farms
in South Sudan.
There should be tool to be developed by the South Sudanese researchers to
analyze sustainability at farm level and to evaluate a farm consultancy
process focused on fostering the fundamentally motivated implementation of
sustainable practice.
Maximum crop yields can only be attained through strict following of all
farming activities right from clearing of the garden for cultivation through to
harvesting of the crops from the garden. Farmers that might have little
educational background have to learn from the research and train rural
people to enhance agricultural sustainability.
The idea is to carryout serious study on what can result to high yields of
maize crop in silt loamy soils. It is be done knowing the nature of fertilizers
whether by green manure (organic) or in Organic known as fertilizer (DAP).

2. Literature Review
3. Materials and Methods
3.1 study area:
The experimental trial that evaluates the effect of different varieties of soya
bean on production and yield will be conducted in the main Juba town.
This experimental trial will be conducted under rain fed conditions and
records will be strictly followed to get accurate data for analysis for this will
be use by future researchers to boost maize production countrywide.
Duration of the study: the study will take a period of four months
right away from the date of planting to the harvesting time.
3.2 study design:
The trial will be laid down in a Complete Randomized Block Design (CRBD).
This will follow two treatment systems with an area of (2 x 3) m and the
space to be provided is to 45 cm between rows and 25 cm between plants.
A minimum of two seeds will be per a hole and later thin to one after
emergence reaching knee height.
4. Conclusion
The expansion of soya bean on the African continent and in particular South
Sudan will be the first milestone to farmers to ensure sustainable
development in the region.
