2. Productivity of Farm Ponds in Relation to Cash and Food Crops With Emphasis 

 on Catfish Production. 



The project objective is to investigate econon:iically feasible methods of 

 producing catfish and other cash crops in farm ponds and relating the productivity 

 of these crops to lirruiological conditions as affected by fallowing, fertilization 

 and artificial feeding.
