RealityShot: I am no doctor neither am I a professor. The experiment has been carried out under normal circumstances both crop would survive but the yield will be extremely low, if you decide to use fertilizer, well you may get a bit higher from lose. Its like trying to prove you can use a table spoon to fill a pail of water, physical it's possible but logically it's impossible. Now the question is do you want to plant like a sane individual or the opposite? |

nurey:is it advisable to intercrop maize with cassava on 2 acres of land? I don't think they shld affect each other that much, since maize will be harvested in 3 months while cassava still has like extra six months before harvest. |

Good stuff. We need to put caveat on these cassava posts so people understand each of us is speaking from our experiences and each farmer's experience is different. I am currently planting cassava and maize on 164 acres in Kobape on Abeokuta-Sagamu Express and will like to share my experience based on the topic being discussed. One, do not go into farming as a part-time, passive income investment. It is not possible to monitor, supervise, manage a farm on Skype or via an Excel sheet. You must be personally involved. Two, LISTEN. ASK QUESTIONS. BE HUMBLE. Do not take what you read online or in textbooks without cross checking them with on-the-farm reality. Most of the farmers in the village are deeply knowledgeable and will gladly and freely share decades of experience with you. Three, choose your battles and FOCUS. There will be many attractions and distractions. People will bring suggestions. You cannot do all. Pick some of their ideas and drop others. You will use them later. Now to specific questions. I will not advise a farmer cross-plants cassava and plantains for three reasons: Spacing - Both cassava and plantain stretch their stems and leaves and need fresh air. Land utilization: The farmer will be required to make ridges that are at a good distance apart hence leaving gaps on the land. Yield: In case the first two are not looked at very cautiously, yield for both plants will be poor. Concerning profitability, the main gaps I see with farmers are knowledge and patience. Most farmers plant the wrong variety vs their desire. Some want to sell to companies, others want to sell to fufu/start local buyers. Some want to sell to big companies that process them into flakes, chips, start, syrup etc. Others want to process to garri and sell as finished product. Each farmer must choose the variety they need to plant. Second is patience. The farmer needs to know the number of months it takes for the cassava to mature. I have seen farmers harvest cassava that should last for 18 months in their 7th month hence the yield is good but way below expectations. The tubers are there, sometimes as many as 10 to 15 but are not big enough so this affects the revenue. We need patience. Cassava is a defence crop for the farmer. Sometimes we get it all wrong and lose a lot of money on tomatoes, pepper, vegetables, etc but it is not common to get it wrong with cassava. Natural rain is sufficient. Cassava diseases are not as common as before as we now have resistant stems etc. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Commendable. God will help you and the yield will be beyond your expectations. You can share your experiences and how you progress here. We are all here to learn and make our businesses better and more profitable shakol91: |

Good day Sir, i have always been on this section of nairaland to read various comments. Am a student and will be rounding up my Bsc program this month.. i have passion and desire to go into plantain and cassava farming, i have gathered pretty knowledge about this two farming both on nairaland and other forums. i want to have a real life experience about them at least to know what am diving into.. i like working with my hands... i want to learn from experience and see things myself, i need ur contact Sir. Thanks TokyoBulls: |

What do you propose to have this real life experience? You can work as an intern with a farmer (and get paid a token) or take practical trainings with farmers and pay them a fee. As much as possible, make sure you work on the farm and see how it really works. Most of the farmers I see on Nairaland do not own farms and experience has shown there's a major difference between what we think farming is and what it actually is. frankdudus: 2 Likes |

TokyoBulls: A round of applause for you sir! I wish I can concisely write as you have done. But let me attempt. I made 110% ROI from the cassava farm I cultivated last year and sold this year (March/April) and last year I made 48% ROI. I planted the same stem though the farm are in different location. So what changed? A lot of factors are responsible. 1 Like |
Re: Cost Implication For The Cultivativation Of 1 Hectare Of Cassava Production. by jephito(m): 11:41am On May 15, 2017 |
jephito:1. Soil fertility: One farm was on a virgin land the other wasn . 2. Proximity/distance: Cost of transportation to this two farms is not the same. 3. Management: the two farms got adequate care and attention 4. Different selling price: My cassava tubers are usually sold to local women who processes to garri and fufu. We don't have any standard measurements. As at last year when I sold tubers, 40 tubers = 400 but this year, we sold at 20 - 25 tubers =400. 1 Like |
