Uses of Chemical to control weed..

Someone called me in respect of weed clearing, he said he has been using sum of 20k to clear his one acre farm every two months, it's this how he will continue spending such amount on weed clearing? In case you are in these situation with him, this is my reply to him...you too can apply the same method...

I told him to thank God for technology break through that led into discovery of herbicide....After has had done with initial manual method and he has planted his plantain without mixing any crops with it. subsequent weed should be treat with herbicide. All he needs to do is to buy spraying Tank.... This tank is of various size, 16ltrs or 20litres tank... Then he should look for water. He should fill the tank with water and buy any Glyphosate or Glyspring iake use of this chemical, other Glyphosate are also good oooh please don't miss quote me... If your tank is 16ltrs you make use of 2 full cups if it 20ltrs you make use of 3full cups. one litre bottle is enough for one acre of land depend on operator. This chemical sold for #1400 the price may varies from one location to another and due to exchange rate..But as at today that is price... See below image

This chemical can't affect your plantain but it will kill weed surround and it will control the weed for next two months.... You may not see effect of this chemical immediate but if you go back in next one week you will start see changes...

After few weeks and you notice there are stubborn week that refuse to die I will show you another chemical you can apply too in next my next post...

As per chemical weeding...
In case you apply Glyphosate and you use it in appreciate proportion after some weeds and discovered that some weed are resistance to this chemical..what you need to do next is to mix chemicals.

You need to mix another chemical with Glyphosate. This chemical is call 2-4-D or Amino force....

How to mix this chemicals, what you need to do is to get your sprayer tank ready if it 20 litres capacity, fill the water with to 20 litres and add 2 full cap of Glyspring and add 40ml of 2-4 D and mix it thoroughly. Then spray it on the weed. You must try to afford this chemical not to touch your plantain it touch it can kill your plantain.
In a week time visit your farm and see the Wonder of these two chemicals....

LABOR or Farm workers

This is one of major challenge in farm and you need to put this into consideration before you embark on farming. There is shortage of workers at onset of rain this is best period to plant your plantain and it coincide with period others crops planted too. At this period farmer will be busy on their own respective farm. Therefore you need to put in place workers to do the job for you.
In Nigeria I will strongly advise you not to make use of Yorubas and Igbos to do the job for you. From experience I have with them, I can’t recommend anybody to engage them. Although some of them are good but watch your back when dealing with them.
You can engage Hausa or Northerner boys to do the job for you. But their major challenge is that they can go back to North anytime without notify you and this can put your investment into jeopardize.
If you engage Cotonou boys, you bind them on contract, they collect their money annually. Some of them are thieves ooh, you need to be careful before you trust them with your properties. To get them try to contact any farmer closer to border of Nigeria and Benin republic, you will be link up with their agent.

Please do not over look this stage in your planning before you start farming. free coach on how to set up plantain plantation.

Re: Hybrid Plantain suckers / How to set up plantain farm by etrader(m): 5:36pm On Sep 26, 2019
Selecting the site or farm land
The site should be easily accessible, especially if the establishment of a large field is being planned it should be well drained but not too sleepy sloped. Plantain cultivation is impossible if the land is become flooded from time to time or has water at a depth of only 50 cm or less. The soil should be rich in organic matter (black soil). Once the field is long natural fallow, under an improved establishment fallow or with a lot of mulch are recommended.

The best land for cultivation of cocoa is the for cultivation of Plantain. To identify the best soil for cultivation of plantain, the land must be virgin land, it should be full of trees, i mean big trees. and consist of black soil.

For Maximum out put you need TRIMMING OF LEAVES

Remove any old, dry leaves that hang down on the pseudostem (they can hide insects and larvae).
Do not cut the green leaves as they are essential for growing the bunches. Approximately 2 to 3 months after harvesting the bunches, remove all remaining shoots apart from two bayonet-shaped
shoots, one large and one small. Avoid weeds, dead leaves, pieces of pseudostem and other plant debris piling up at the base of the plantain plants, where they could provide shelter for the plantain root weevil or other insects and larvae.

By doing so you are improving the yield of your plantain.

Pruning of suckers

This involves removing all the shoots that appear around the base of the parent plant in order to reduce competition during the initial growth phase.

After flowering, keep the strongest sucker that is best placed in line with the plantation rows. Remove the others by cutting or pulling them out; this

should be done at regular intervals. The removed suckers can be used as replanting material or you can sell it and serve as income to you......


Pruning of sucker should be done with care, what you need to do is to watch direction in which the crop or pseudo stem bend to, don’t remove any sucker shoot out at front and back, but you can remove those one fall side by side. This is because those suckers shooting both front and back hold the pseudo step firmly, if you prune them you will discover that next slightly wind or rain will fall your plantain and that is end of that crop.
Also this activities must be carryout frequently this because it going to affect the size of the plantain fruit.

Re: Hybrid Plantain suckers / How to set up plantain farm by etrader(m): 12:29pm On Oct 30, 2019
Dear friend, you don't need to do soil test before you before you start Plantain farming. but if you have financial muscle to pay soil expert, no problem you can go ahead...

But you can do it by yourself, the soil should be black in colour. when you are working the land you will be observe that your leg is sinking on the soil. There should be big trees that had covered the soil for very long time. in short ask any old famers around you if the soil is good for cultivation of cocoa. The best soil for cocoa is also good for plantain

in case they have cultivate on the land few years back you can still make use of it but you need to enrich the soil

Sulphur Deficiency

Sulphur is vital to plantain likewise other crops too. A deficiency in Sulphur will affect a plants protein synthesis structure and chlorophyll production. Lack of Sulphur will lead into stunted growing of plantain that lead into low yield of your plantain.

How to identify sulphur deficiency in plantain plant. The plantain will experience yellowing or pale greenish coloring throughout the plant.

The young leafs will suffer from chlorosis with their tips becoming necrotic over all plant development and growth will be stunted without enough sulphur in the soil.

This symptom resemble lack of Nitrogen. To distinguish deficiency of sulphur from Nitrogen deficiency. look for red pigment in d vain of young leaves for Nitrogen deficiency, while in Sulphur deficiency there will not typically affect the vein pattern s on leaves.

Sulphur Deficiency often occur in area with heavy rainfall. If you plant your plantain on a sloppy land, lack of Sulphur Deficiency is at risk on this type of soil. the sulphur will be wash away by rain, since sulphur is soluble in water.
Also in area of high level of phosphorus may displace sulphur from the soil.

Zinc (Zn)
Zn deficiency
zinc is one of micronutrients present in soil, the amount of zn find in soil is sometimes so small that they are barely detectable but without them, plantain will fail to thrive.

important of Zinc is to help plantain to produce chlorophyll. If this is lack in soil the leaf of the plantain will discolored and plantain will growth stunted. The colour of the leaf will change to Light Green Yellow color.

I don't have crops that lack this element I would have give your the pictures. But if you notice change in colouration of your plantain leaf know that your crop is lacking certain critical element call Zinc.

Solution to Micro-nutrient deficiency on plantain crops

I have discussed about deficiency of micronutrients on plantain crops and how to identify them.

To correct this deficiency, all you need to do is to apply Folia fertilizer on your plantain leaves..

See below pictures, these are pictures of folia fertilizer bottles.

How to apply folia fertilizer,
You need to have sprayer tanks, either 16-20ltrs capacity.
Then you need a clean water and add 150ml to 20ltrs of water
Then start spraying on leave and fruit of your plantain. This should be done early in the morning or late in evening.
This can be repeated every 3 months.
