This question was poorly attempted by the candidates.  In 3(a-c) majority of the candidates could not correctly identify specimens N(Elephant grass),O(Centrosema) and P (Tropical kudzu) by their common and botanical names. They could neither state how each of specimens N(Elephant grass) and O(Centrosema) is propagated nor give the characteristics of specimen O(Centrosema).However, in 3(d), most of them were able to state the uses of specimen N(Elephant grass).

The expected answers include:
3(a)Identification of specimens N, O and P by their common and botanicalnames.

Specimen	Common Name	Botanical Name
N	Elephant grass	Pennisetumpurpureum
O	Centro/Centrosema	Centrosemapubescens
P	Tropical kudzu	Puerariaphaseoloides

                 
(b)How specimens NandO are propagated

Specimen	Method of Propagation
N	Stolon
O	Seed

 (c)Characteristics of specimen O(Centro)
-      Vigorous and aggressive growing legume
-      Creeping and twining plant
-      Has trifoliate leaves attached to the stem by pulvinus
-      Leafy, perennial and shade tolerant
-      Drought resistant
-      Highlynodulated/contains bacteria in the nodules
-      Highly palatable and very nutritious
