@Joive, thanks so much for the insight to the techniques and challenges faced in the entire process. I would really want you to explain more on 1.herbicide applications, 2. Is mixed cropping ok? ( Planting maize together with cassava) if yes, how are we to go about it? Thank you. |

Aderex91:If one wants to intercrop with cassava is it okay to spray with insecticides and herbicide? |
Re: Maize Farming In Nigeria ( 2015 Season) - Challenges And Expectations. by Aderex91: 8:19pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
pat077:herbicide kills the weeds while insecticide deals with the insect, so both have their different role they play |
Re: Maize Farming In Nigeria ( 2015 Season) - Challenges And Expectations. by pat077: 12:11am On Mar 25, 2017 |
Aderex91:I know, what I am asking is if it's necessary to apply both before planting cassava |
Re: Maize Farming In Nigeria ( 2015 Season) - Challenges And Expectations. by Aderex91: 8:46am On Mar 31, 2017 |
pat077:for the herbicide yes while for the insecticide if only the situation of the farm warrants it, i was anyway advice to wait until the maize starts coming out b4 taking any step but left to me i believe its better to prevent than curing |
