If you have Irrigation nothing should stop you from doing 3 cycles of Ugu farming.

In times of income, dry season will give you more but also factor that you will be dealing with a lot of pest and grazing issue (fulani).

Wet season is also productive but make sure you have a market for your produce.

I believe 2 cycles is possible in the dry season if one start by early November. Factoring a total of 6 harvest in 10-15 days interval.

Proper and adequate fertilization is key.


Ideally, 3 cycle for the whole calender year

SURVEY

Hello house, it has been a great journey so far. In other to make this learning process concrete, I will like everyone especially the experienced ugu farmers to help take this 1 min survey so has to ascertain the pricing methodology for Ugu leaves.

I will greatly appreciate your input. I will share the survey with only the respondents. So please kindly respond.

Please you don't have to be an existing farmer to fill this survey out but you should have concrete information on how Ugu leaves is sold in your location.

Your question is open end, because the best way to quantify it by quantity is by weighing. And you hardly come across a market woman ready to buy ugu leaves based on Kilogram.

But quantifying it based on return of investment has been helpful in the ugu business projection.

With Good pollination practice, 70% seed sprout is successful.

UPDATE

I will update soon. The reason for the delay is because of increased labor hours on the farm site. This is the period most farmers try to put all seeds to the ground. So I am following the queue as well.

Wishing everyone Happy drying season farming.

What I meant that if you plant 10 seeds, 7 out of it giving out at least one pod of seed is success.

a mixture of the generic NPK 15-15-15 with Urea in ratio 3:1will fly. but organic fertilizer is greatly encouraged especially doing this dry season.

I don't know what I did wrong. I experimented tomato cultivation in my yard, it grew very well but 98% of the flowers keep falling off without maturing into fruits. Now the plants are dying off. Please what did I do wrong? How can I avoid this?

Sock your neem leaves in water for about 7 days. And use this extracts. It is as potent as the neem oil.

Neem oil is around but pricey. I rather use the neem leaves (Dogoyaro leaves)

Hope this helps

UPDATE

My harvest is approaching very fast or let's say its already here. But due to engagements, I am yet to pay attention to it.

January is also a good time and not late to start dry season that's if you are yet to start.

If you recall, the duration of the planting is November to February.

Stay motivated.
