COFFEE CULTIVATION GUIDE.


Coffee trees require a rich, moist, loose, well drained soil, best composed of organic
matter, decomposed mold, and disintegrated volcanic rock, a well-distributed rainfall of about 40 to 70 inches annually with peak wet season; high humidity; seven hours of sunshine daily; and plenty of mist and moderate winds.

Coffee trees vary greatly in sizes from dwarf trees to thick-trunk forest giants twenty feet or more in height.

Generally they are restricted to areas with a medium average annual temperature of 700F, not lower than 550F and much above 800F.


VARIETIES
Arabica, Robusta, Excelsa, Liberica

SEED PROPAGATION

1. Coffee is grown from seeds.

2. Gather seeds from disease and pest-free, high yielding trees.

3. Grow coffee plants in the nursery to produce better seedlings. The nursery should be
located in the plantation or nearby and accessible to water supply.

4. Three-fourth kg (i.e 750 gm) of quality seeds is enough to plant an hectare.

5. A 50% allowance of seeds must be considered for un-germinated seeds, poor seedlings and for replanting.

6. Select viable seeds, stir berries in a bucket of water and remove floaters. Those that sink
are the good ones.

7. Remove pulp by hand or pulping machine, then soak the beans in water for 24 hours to
hasten the removal of mucilage.

8. Wash beans and discard. Air-dry in well-ventilated room for at least 4 days.

9. Keep dried parchment in cool dry place or mix with charcoal to preserve its viability;

10. Germination bed must be 1 meter wide and of convenient length. To avoid flooding,
raise bed 15 cm from ground level.

11. A 1 x 20 m plot can accommodate one pack of seeds;

12. Sow seeds on shallow rows at ¾ inch deep and cover with fine soil.

13. Water seedbed regularly but not too wet and partially shade plants from sunlight.

14. Thin out prick seedlings (transplant to another seedbed/plastic bags) or when 2-3 pairs
of leaves have developed.


VEGETABLE PROPAGATION

1. Coffee can also be propagated asexually;

2. Clone is used for coffee propagation. It is a part of plant that is made to reproduce an
offspring which carries all the qualities of its parents.

3. Split lengthwise into two halves of a finger sized vertical shoot of about one foot long
with 4-6 nodes to produce a clone. Partially cut leaves before splitting.

4. Set nodal cutting in germination box 1x2 inches apart and 1 inch deep, then place boxes
in germination chamber. Nodal cuttings will produce roots and shoots within 45 days.

5. Prick seedlings into individual plastic bags with soil. Full grown seedling with 4-6 pairs of leaves could be attained within 6-8 months.

6. Coffee plants raised from nodal cutting bear fruits 18 months after transplanting, earlier
than plants grown from seeds.

ESTABLISHMENT OF PLANTATION

Intensive clearing is necessary for newly opened areas (forest area). Plow and harrow
twice open filed to check weed growth. Mark places where holes are to be dug.

Recommended spacing are as follows:
Variety Distance in Meters Single Row Double Row

Arabica 3 x 1 to 3 x 2m 2 x 2 x 2 x 3m.

Robusta 3 x 1.5 to 3 x 3m 2 x 2 x 2 x 4m.

Liberica & Excelsa 4 x 5 x 5.5 m.

TRANSPLANTING
Coffee seedlings are ready for transplanting when 6 pairs of leaves have been fully developed and with no lateral branches yet. Dig holes and transplant in the field at the start of the rainy season. This will give sufficient
time for young plant to establish roots before dry season sets in. Dig hole wide and deep enough to accommodate ball of earth with roots intact. Return
topsoil in the hole, then add tablespoons of phosphorus fertilizer and mix thoroughly.

MAKE INCOME FROM PLANTING CASHEW

LAGOS—THE National Cashew Association of Nigeria, NCAN, yesterday said Nigeria earned N144.7 billion ($402 million) from the export of raw cashew nuts to Vietnam and other countries in 2017.

Ripe Cashew

Mr Sotonye Anga, the spokesperson for the association, said in an interview in Lagos.
Anga said that 220,000 tonnes of raw cashew nuts were exported to Vietnam, India and China between February and December 2017.
“The latest development has been interesting because just last week, we got Nigeria’s final export position from Vietnam, which was quite revealing. Out of the 220,000 tonnes of exported raw cashew nuts, Vietnam accounted for 181,753 tonnes, while 38,247 tonnes went to India, China and other countries in the last 11 months.

Cashew production in Nigeria for 2015 was 160,000 tonnes, which fetched the country 152 million U.S. dollars (about N57.6 billion) revenue. In 2016, we exported 185,000 tonnes of cashew nuts and earned 259 million dollars (aboutN93.2 billion),” he said.

Anga stressed that cashew was a consistent foreign exchange earner and an international crop with huge economic value.
“These figures have shown the potential of the cashew and with increased crop growing; we have seen a reverse trend of urban to rural migration. Many urban dwellers are now going back to villages to take up farming and a lot more jobs have been created,” he added.


RAW CASHEW NUT - QUALITY SPECIFICATION

Just like most agric commodities, cashew nuts meant for export must be well dried and free from impurities and unwanted matters.

Quality Specifications is one of the most important items on export sales contract because this is what determines how much the buyer is going pay for your product.The following are the parameters used to measure rawcashew nut quality.

NUT COUNT.

Simply put, nut Count is the number of nut in 1kg ofcashew nut. It ranges from 170 to 230 counts, 170 being the best quality while 230 is poor quality.

170 ……………….. ………..EXCELLENT
180 – 190 ……………….. VERY GOOD
190 – 200 ……………….. GOOD
200 – 210 ……………….. AVERAGE
210 – 220 ………………. BELOW AVERAGE 
230 AND ABOVE ………………. POOR

It is worthy to note that most foreign buyers prefer between 170 and 200 nut counts.
In Nigeria, the nut count per 1kg sample varies from zone to zone. While zones like Ogbomosho has between 170 and 185, others zones falls between 190 and 230. Ogbomosho is known to have the best quality and a lot of buyer prefers cashew nuts from this location.

Kernel Output Ratio (KOR)/Out-turn
It is the quality of good nut (as there would always be defective ones) from 80kg of raw cashew nuts. It means a number of usable kernels after de-shelling the nuts. Out-turn is measured in lbs quality in terms of one bag of 80 kg of raw cashew nuts.
In general,
An excellent out turn is 48 – 53 lbs.
A good out-turn is 43 – 48 lbs.
Less than 43 lbs is a poor grade and are usually rejected.

Moisture
Most export contract would state that moisture content should be maximum of 10%. So, exporters must ensure the product is well dried before bagging and loading for shipment.

Defective Nuts
Defective nuts are the ones that are diseased as a result of fungi infection which is seen in form of black or brown spot when the kernel is split. This is cause by high moisture in the nut due to improper drying and improper storage.
The percentage of defective nut acceptable by most foreign buyers is between 8 and 10% max. 

Foreign Matters
These are unwanted matters like broken sticks, leaves sand, stack etc. The maximum amount of foreign matter allowed by most buyers is 10%.
NB: These parameters are what any intending exporter should consider before buyer raw cashew nut from any of the locations in Nigeria.

SOURSOP AS AN ECONOMIC TREE.

*Botanical name : Annona muricata.
* Family: annonaceae (annona family)

* Common names: Soursop, Graviola,BrazilianPawpaw, Prickly custard apple, etc.

DESCRIPTION :


Soursop is believed to be indigenous to most of the warmest tropical regions of the world including Nigeria.It is a small upright evergreen tree that grows up to 6 metres tall with exception for improve varieties.It has large dark and shiny green and leathery leaves, which has a pungent Odour when crushed.

The flowers are large, with yellow or greenish-yellow colour.The fruit of the tree (soursop) is large and has a heart-like shape, covered with small spine-shaped structures.The pulp is fleshy, soft and white in colour, with a slightly sour-acid taste and it can be eaten out-of-hand. The fruit may contain up to 100 black seeds.

In most tropical regions of the world, where the plant grows, it is often referred as a miracle tree.

Soursop grows in a wide array of soils as long as the soil is well drained. A soil PH of between 5 and 6.5 is ideal. The soursop tree is small in size and may serve as an intercrop between large fruit trees. Soursop can be propagated from seed or cuttings. Plant well developed seedlings and ensure they are mulched to suppress weeds and to improve moisture retention in the soil.

Soursop trees prefer warm and humid conditions to thrive, they are very susceptible to low temperatures. On maturity fruit may emerge anywhere on the tree ; trunk, branches or twigs. The tree will require adequate fertilizing of which we recommend organic compost and mulching using organic material.Alternatively fertilizers can be used as well. Young trees can be supported using bamboo sticks.

The tree starts to flower and eventually fruit in the third year, fruits are harvested when they are fully developed but still green. Thereafter it takes 2-4 days to ripen. A single tree can produce 60-70 fruits in a year.


CULTURAL PRACTICES FOR SOURSOP.


1. LAND PREPARATION :

The land is prepared before transplanting of seedlings by following the usual plowing, harrowing and tilling of the farmland especially in large scale production . However, for small farmers with limited capital, land preparation can be done by slashing of the thick vegetation followed by clearing of the the land to remove all stumps.


2. PLANTING : Soursop can be planted at a spacing of 4m x 4m to 7m x 7m in square, rectangular or triangular pattern. The number of trees an hectare can accommodate will range from about 204 to 625 in square system and 235 to 719 in triangular shape. The exact number can be determined by preparing a planting layout plan. Dig holes of about 50cm wide and 50cm deep. Refill with top soil when the seedlings are set in and water immediately after planting.

3. FERTILIZATION : To ensure vigorous growth, apply fertilizers regularly at the onset and end of the raining season or every 6 months. Fertilizer application can be started a month after planting using ammonium sulphate (21:0:0) or any other applicable ammonium sulphate type which you can get from SEEDWORLD LTD also ; at the rate of 100 to 150grams per tree. The rate is increased every year until the start of the fruiting stage at which time 250 to 300grams of complete fertilizer like NPK (15:15:15 ) is applied. This amount is also increased every year from 1.5 to 3kg plus 200 to 300g of muriate of potash (0.0.60) to ensure supply of micronutrients ,organic fertilizers can also be incorporated in the fertilization plan also.

4. IRRIGATION /WATERING : The soursop can tolerate dry conditions and in fact requires a dry climate to induce synchronous flowering. However, prolonged drought will cause excessive leaf shedding. In that situation, supplementary water source or supply will be beneficial .

5. WEEDING AND MULCHING :
Ring weeding should be done regularly.This can be accomplished by shallow cultivation of the immediate periphery of the tree. Weeds cleared out can be piled around the base or root of the trees to serve as mulch.

6. PRUNING : Branch pruning should be done to disperse the remaining branches and to promote air movement and light
penetration. Water sprouts, diseased and decaying branches and
twigs should be removed also.

7. INTERCROPPING : To maximize utilization of the land and help
suppress the growth of weeds, annual crops such as cereals, root and tuber crops and vegetables may be grown between the soursop trees while still young. It can be intercropped also with perennial crops like banana and citrus.

8.INSECTS PEST AND DISEASE CONTROL : Although soursop is more resistant compared to other fruit crops, it is not entirely safe from
insect pests. Insect pests that attack this crop include root grubs,
mealy bugs, carpenter moth larva, scale insects and oriental fruit
fly. The major diseases are root rot, pink disease and anthracnose.

NB : A crop protection plan should be formulated and incorporated into the overall farm management system. It may include both
prevention (e.g. sanitation, burning of diseased plant parts,
disposal of fallen fruits, removal of alternate hosts) and control
measures (chemical, organic or biological control ) of which you can contact SEEDWORLD LTD for applicable recommendations.

9. HARVESTING : Soursop starts flowering from 3yrs and continues flowering year round but the peak is May to June. The fruits are harvested when fully developed and still green. They are considered mature when their spines are set far apart and the shiny green color turns dull-green
or yellowish green.
Selective harvesting is practiced because the
fruits on a tree do not mature at the same time.



MEDICINAL BENEFITS OF SOURSOP.

In natural medicine practice, all parts of the soursop tree are used as medicine, including the roots, barks, stems, leaves, fruits and the fruit-seeds.

Each part of the tree has long been shown to have different therapeutic properties as stated below.

1. CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS

Many scientific analyses have shown that soursop contains many nutrients, including protein, sugar, fatty acids, dietary fiber, Vitamins C, B1, B2, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium chloride.

It also contains many bioactive compounds and phytochemicals, such as alkaloid, citric-acid, malic-acid, stearic-acid, stepharine, tannin, vinblastine, etc.

2. THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES.

Generally, it is known that soursop has a broad spectrum antimicrobial, antispasmodic, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, astringent, cardio tonic, diuretic, emetic, galactagogue, immunity boosting, laxative, liver tonic, sedative and activities.

Besides these activities, the main interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer or anti-tumour properties and effects.

Various parts of the plant- leaves, stems, fruits and seeds- have been shown to contain phytochemicals, which are cytotoxic against various types of cancer cells, including colon, breast, ovarian, uterine, prostate, lung, pancreatic, anal, kidney, liver, lung and skin cancers.

Soursop fruit or the fruit juice can be taken to prevent or cure cancer .The fresh leaves and stems of the plant can also be used for the same purpose.

In these cases, about one handful of the fresh leaves and stems of soursop is cut into pieces and boiled in 1 (One) litre water until the water is reduced to half. This is then strained and up to100 ml is taken morning and night.
The decoction can be sweetened with pure honey.

Soursop has been proven to be a miraculous natural cancer cell killer and it is said to be 10,000 times stronger than most chemotherapy drugs.

A recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea shows that one chemical (acetogenins) present in soursop was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at 10, 000 times the potency more than the commonly used Adriamycin (a chemotherapy drug).

Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately destroys both cancerous and normal cells, the compound extracted from the soursop selectively kills only cancer cells without harming the healthy and normal ones.


***OTHER USES OF SOURSOP ***

The fruit juice of soursop is creamy, with musky, sub-acid to acid flavour, sometimes used in ice cream.

It is rich in Vitamins B and C. It is commonly taken after childbirth to help increase mother’s breast milk to cool down feverish conditions, chill and flu, as an astringent for diarrhea and dysentery and for intestinal parasites.

The alkaloid-rich fresh leaves and bark/roots of soursop can be prepared as a standard infusion (one cup 2-3 times daily); decoction (1-3 times twice daily or 6 grams of powdered leaves in capsules in 3-4 divided dosages) for the following conditions:
Digestive Problems: Constipation, indigestion, as emetic, diarrhea, dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, diabetes, liver and gallbladder disorders.

Bacterial and fungal infections (as broad spectrum antimicrobial), cold, flu, catarrh and fevers.Nervous disorders: nervousness, edgy nerves, insomnia (as tranquilizer or sedative).

Heart problems, palpitation, hypertension with insomnia and nervousness and anemia.Various menstrual disorders and difficult childbirth.

Respiratory tract problems: cough, asthma, chest problems and bronchitis.

In some rural communities, infused oil prepared from the fresh leaves and unripe fruit of soursop is mixed with olive oil or virgin coconut oil and used externally for massaging in cases of arthritic/rheumatic pains, gout and neuralgia.

CAUTION !!!!!

Soursop has been found to be a potent uterine stimulant. Therefore, it should be avoided during pregnancy.High doses of the infusion (tea) or decoction may cause nausea and vomiting.
Presently, the plant has not shown any recorded drug interaction.

However, those taking prescription antihypertensive and antidepressants drugs are advised to be careful with soursop, because it may potentiate these drugs.

BREADFRUIT AS AN ECONOMIC TREE.


INTRODUCTION.

Breadfruit is an energy-rich food and a good source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and minerals such as potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and zinc.

This nutritious fruit also provides B vitamins, niacin, thiamine, and Vitamin C. Some varieties have high levels of provitamin A carotenoids, nutrients essential to good health.

Breadfruit is gluten free and its protein is complete, providing all of the essential amino acids necessary for human health. In a world with nearly 1 billion hungry people, 80% of whom live in the tropics, the conservation, study and use of breadfruit is extremely relevant today.

Breadfruit is an important component in traditional agroforestry systems and can be grown with a wide range of plants. Trees begin to bear fruit in three to five years, producing for many decades. The trees require little attention or care, producing an abundance of food with minimal input of labor or materials, and thrive under a wide range of ecological conditions.

Breadfruit trees provide food security, and contribute to diversified regenerative agriculture and agroforestry, improved soil conditions and watersheds, and valuable environmental benefits including reduction of CO2. They also give shelter and food to important plant pollinators and seed dispersers such as honeybees, birds, and fruit bats. In addition to health and environmental benefits, breadfruit trees can provide economic opportunities.

LOCATION AND SITE SELECTION REQUIREMENTS.

**LOCATION **

This is the area in which production will take place. It is often
selected firstly on the basis of where land is available to the producer; however, other important considerations should be used to evaluate its suitability. Among these are suitable environmental conditions for production, closeness to market and to sources of inputs, and availability of good access roads for easy transport of inputs to the farm and of fruit to the markets.

**TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENT.**

Breadfruit are tropical crops that grow best at temperatures between 210 and 320 C ; growth is retarded at lower or higher temperatures.

**ANNUAL RAINFALL REQUIREMENTS ***

Breadfruit thrive best where annual rainfall receipt is 1500 mm to over 3000 mm and well-distributed throughout the year. Breadfruit has a higher water requirement because of its shallow root system and larger canopy. Although breadfruit will grow where rainfall receipt is as low as 1000 mm annually but
well distributed.

**SUNLIGHT REQUIREMENTS **

This is also an important requirement for good growth. Light shade is useful to prevent wilting, stunting and possible death of newly planted trees because the large leaves lose moisture rapidly but the root system is not sufficiently developed to absorb adequate quantities of water. The trees compete strongly for light, by growing quickly to produce a tall, trunk with high branches. Therefore, the trees should be exposed to full sunlight to encourage a lower
canopy to develop.

**WIND IMPACT ***

Sheltered locations are preferable because persistent wind can cause wilting, leaf damage, a lopsided canopy due to more growth on the side that is away from the wind, and stunted growth.

**SOIL CONDITIONS **

Breadfruit trees can grow on a wide range of soil types but they prefer sufficiently deep, well-drained and moisture retentive soils. Soils that are prone to waterlogging or seriously eroded and shallow should be avoided. The soils should have fairly
high organic matter content, adequate nutrient status and a pH of 6 to 6.5.

**BREADFRUIT CULTIVARS ** .

Two majority known breadfruit cultivars exist.Which are Yellow and White .Though both are generally referred to long and round breadfruit types in most countries.

1. YELLOW BREADFRUIT :

The fruits are round or oval in shape and at maturity, the skin is smooth, greenish brown and usually heavily stained with latex. Fruit weight ranges from 1.5 to 3.5 kg . The flesh of the fruit is light yellow and the colour becomes brighter with age and on cooking. The major bearing period extends from June to September and the minor season is from December to February. This is usually on the basis of its pleasant taste and soft, smooth texture. The mature stage of the fruit is considered to be the best for roasting, while the green mature or slightly immature stage is preferred for
boiling.

2. WHITE : This cultivar is similar to the ‘Yellow’ in shape, size and, to some extent, skin colour, except that there is less brown discolouration and the skin texture may be
slightly rougher at maturity. The cultivar can be distinguished from the ‘Yellow’ mainly by the colour and eating quality of the flesh. The flesh colour is off-white to cream and does not change much as the fruit ages or with cooking. The eating quality is good with a mild taste and a smooth but somewhat firmer texture than the ‘Yellow’. ‘White’ is a very good for boiling and frying, and can be roasted at the full, mature stage. Both cultivars are suitable for commercial production and for local and export fresh fruit markets and for processing, but seasonality is a major limitation.

CULTURAL PRACTICES FOR BREADFRUIT.

1. LAND PREPARATION :

This operation is necessary if the orchard is to be established on forested land.Unwanted trees should be removed but a few should be left in place to provide shade while others may be selected to act as windbreaks. If all the trees are removed, they should be quickly replaced by fast-growing trees which will provide these environmental services. It is preferable to use power saws for tree felling instead of heavy machinery such as bulldozers. This is an important consideration for avoiding soil compaction especially on wet or clay soils and soil disturbance that may increase soil erosion. Organic materials should be conserved by cutting up the branches and leaving them in place to rot and to contribute to organic matter content of the soil. Therefore, burning is not recommended. Land clearing should be done months ahead prior to the proposed planting date.Land preparation should be done during the dry season.

2. PLANTING GENERALLY : Breadfruit may be planted at any time, provided that enough soil moisture or irrigation is available. Otherwise, the beginning of the rainy season is the best time for planting.

The plant is placed in the hole after removing the plastic bag and slightly roughening the sides of the root ball to loosen the roots and to encourage better contact with the soil in the hole.

The plant should be turned to orient the foliage to the best position for maximum light interception. Then replace the backfill soil in the space around the rootball, firstly, by filling
half the hole and pressing the soil down firmly, then by completely filling to the top and pressing down the soil again.

This procedure helps to remove air pockets so that when the soil eventually settles, the level of the soil within the hole will not be lower than that of the root ball.It also ensures that the root ball is in proper contact with the soil and that the plant is
firmly set in position .

However, pressing the soil too firmly may cause soil compaction and should be avoided.Water the plant thoroughly so that the water penetrates beyond the depth of the hole. On flat areas, a shallow basin, about 1 m wide around the plant is useful to prevent water run-off and encourage infiltration and it may also be mulched under dry conditions.

*SPACING AND PLANT ARRANGEMENTS **

For a pure stand orchard planted with the tradtional breadfruit cultivars at site where the environmental conditions promote rapid growth, for example, high rainfall or high fertility, the mature trees should be maintained at a maximum tree height of 8 m and maximum canopy width of 8 m.

The recommended spacing is 10 m x 10 m which would give
a plant population of 100 trees per hectare (40 trees/acre).

However, with narrower canopy width e.g. 6 m, a closer spacing of 8 m x 8 m or 8 m x 10 m may be used to achieve a plant population of 156 trees/ha (59 trees/acre) or 125 trees/ha (47 trees/acre), respectively.

At closer spacing, higher yield is possible because the plant population is higher. However, care must be taken to ensure adequate light availability to minimize the tendency to increased tree and canopy height in young trees and to support flowering and fruiting on the entire canopy, and air circulation. Closer spacing is recommended for sites with less favourable environmental conditions for growth because the trees will be smaller, and also for shorter cultivars.

For orchards on flat to gently sloping areas where machinery may be utilized in some operations, a wider spacing between rows is desirable, so that the spacing may be 10 m x 12 m (83 trees/ha or 33 trees/acre) or 8 m x 12 m (104 trees/ha or 38 trees/ac) depending on canopy width Square (e.g. 8 m x 8 m) or rectangular (e.g. 8 m x 10 m) tree arrangements permit easy movement within the field and are suitable for flat areas.

A hexagonal arrangement may be used to increase plant population; at a spacing of 10 m between plants, this arrangement will give 10% more trees/ha than the square arrangement. This arrangement is also preferable on steeper land to minimize the risk of gully formation and soil erosion.

The field should be lined in advance using a tape and stakes to ensure proper measurements within and between rows and all plant positions should be marked with stakes.


**HOLE PREPARATION FOR PLANTING **

The stake must be removed and a hole dug in the plant position previously marked by the stake. On heavy soils, the holes should be prepared before planting to allow the soil to dry out and to improve the soil texture.

Drying out also reduces the populations of potentially harmful soil organisms. A hole, 45 - 60 cm long x 45 - 60 cm wide x 25 – 30 cm deep, is suitable.

The depth of the hole must be just enough to accommodate the root ball of the plant so that the top of the root ball is not lower than the top of the hole. On soils with high clay content, holes with slick sides and bottoms should be avoided because these encourage accumulation of water and retard root penetration into the surrounding soil which causes the plant to become stunted.

Therefore, the holes should be prepared when the soil is just moist, not very wet, and the sides should be roughened with the edge of the spade if the soil is not sufficiently friable.


**SOIL AMENDMENTS **

Soil amendments such as lime (for acid soils) and fertilizer may be incorporated into the backfill, which is the soil removed from the hole and replaced during planting. A complete fertilizer, with moderate nitrogen (N) and potassium (K), and high phosphorus (P), in a suitable NPK ratio.

Slow-release formulations are best for reducing fertiliser loss through leaching. Soils that are very freely draining, prone to drying out or low in organic matter do not have to be prepared very early and about 2 kg of well-rotted organic matter may be incorporated into the backfill before it is replaced in the hole.

Alternatively, the holes may be prepared just prior to planting at a depth that is 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2”) more than the depth of the rootball, if fertilizer is to be added.

The fertiliser should be placed at the bottom of the hole and cover with 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2“) of soil to prevent the roots from being damaged because of direct contact with the fertilizer. Whether or not amendments are used, the finished depth of the hole should also not be deeper than the depth of the rootball.


**STAKING OF YOUNG BREADFRUIT SEEDLINGS TRANSPLANT **

The need to stake newly-planted trees for support or for anchorage should be avoided by using only sturdy plants with well-developed root systems, instead of overgrown, pot-bound or top-heavy plants, by proper planting techniques and by selection of sheltered sites. If, however, staking is required for these purposes, install the stakes either in the hole before it is filled with soil or outside the hole after planting.

It may also be necessary to install protection staking where livestock or pests, or wild animals such as monkeys have access to the orchard and may damage the young trees.


**MAINTAINANCE FOR YOUNG TREES **

(a) LIGHT MANAGEMENT : If the orchard is located on a site that is windy or that experiences periodic dryness, light
shade (25%) should be provided. Open-canopied trees or temporary cash crops e.g. banana or plantain, may be used at sufficiently wide spacing because excessive shading will encourage the trees to grow tall with little branching. Three-year-old trees require full sunlight, therefore, all shade should be gradually removed after planting.

(b) WATER MANAGEMENT/IRRIGATION :

The young trees perform best under uniformly moist soil conditions throughout the year. Therefore, for rain-fed orchards in locations with short (less than 6 weeks) dry spells and with soils that retain moisture, the orchard floor should be mulched with the fallen leaves or other well-rotted or composted organic materials to conserve soil moisture.

This measure is inadequate where longer dry periods, especially on freely-draining soils, are common and irrigation facilities must be provided in such cases. Irrigation must be immediately at the onset of the dry spell to such soils to avoid low moisture stress symptoms e.g. wilted leaves, premature leaf senescence or yellowing, excessive leaf fall, and ultimately stunted growth.

Drip irrigation may be used for young plants but microjet sprinklers are more effective because they encourage growing trees to develop a more extensive root system and they also use water more efficiently than overhead irrigation.

Clear and maintain all drains prior to the onset of the rainy season especially where the soil is prone to waterlogging, because prolonged periods of excessive soil moisture may lead to root death and kill young trees.


(c) FERTILIZATION/NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT :

Proper nutrition management assists young trees to develop the desired form of root system and canopy. Fertiliser application must be based on nutrient analyses of the soil and as the trees develop, analyses of nutrient levels in the leaves should also be used.

Under high rainfall conditions, a complete fertilizer should be used to promote vegetative growth, with an adequate concentration of phosphorous (P) especially for root growth. Too much nitrogen (N) will promote undesirable, excessive shoot growth. After 18 to 24 months as the trees approach maturity, potassium (K) should be increased to support flowering and fruiting.

The fertilizer should be applied in a ring in a shallow furrow around the tree, outside the drip line of the canopy, and covered with soil to prevent loss through rainfall run-off.

Alternatively, fertilizer should be applied during irrigation. On upland sites, apply the fertilizer in the eye-brow terrace around the young trees as described previously.

For older trees on hillsides, the fertilizer is applied in a semi-circular furrow on the uphill side of the tree, outside the drip circle and covered.

Organic matter, as compost or well-rotted farm yard manure, is beneficial to soils with low, organic matter, and shortly before the beginning of the dry season. The material should be placed at least 20cm away from the base of the tree trunk to avoid collar rot problems.

(d) TRAINING OF YOUNG BREADFRUIT.

Young breadfruit trees must be trained to develop a low-branching canopy and that is short enough to facilitate harvesting. Prune 1 to 1.2 m tall trees that have not branched
by using a heading-back cut to remove the top 15 - 20 cm from the main stem, to encourage
branching at less than 1 m.

A slanting cut is made just above a node with a sharp, clean
secateur. If the tree has already produced branches, it should be head-backed to the first group of branches before it reaches 2 m in height, by removing the main stem at the internode just above the uppermost branch .

The lateral branches that grow out from the main stem eventually will also begin to grow vertically; these should also be head-backed at 1 to 1.5 m to limit their height and to encourage branching.

Remove any branch that is causing overcrowding to encourage an open canopy in which the branches are spaced evenly. Use a thinning cut for branch removal.

Use a lopper or a sharp pruning saw to make a slanting cut just above the collar of the branch, and not flush with the
stem, to ensure proper healing.

Cuts on young trees are relatively small and should heal easily. It is not necessary to apply paint or any sealant to the cut as this can encourage rotting of the stem if moisture is trapped below the sealant.

Young trees can be pruned at any time of the year during dry
weather . The fruits are borne towards the ends of the branches, therefore, training should be completed by the time the trees are 30 months old to allow them to develop sturdy branches
with enough foliage for the mature phase.

(e) WEED CONTROL /CROP PROTECTION :

A string trimmer should be used to remove weeds within and between rows, but immediately around the trees, weeds should be removed manually to avoid damaging the stems. Vines
should be removed entirely.

Weeds in the inter-row spaces may also be brush cut or controlled with a non-selective, systemic herbicide, especially weeds in the drains. If herbicides are used, drift should be avoided by using a shield and by spraying under calm or low wind conditions.

Soil-acting and systemic herbicides that can damage the trees should be avoided and the decision to use herbicides should be carefully considered if they may pollute drainage water
that flows through other cropped areas on- or off-farm.

Intercropping and mulching suppress weeds effectively and reduce the need for herbicides. Also placement of irrigation water and fertilizer where they are easily absorbed by the roots can limit weed growth in areas where the tree roots have not yet extended.

Diseases are not common on young trees in well-drained sites with proper air flow within the orchard. Pests are also not usually prevalent, but the pink hibiscus mealy bug (Maconellicoccus
hirsutus) can cause serious leaf distortion and stunting of the plants. An integrated pest management approach should be used for control including biological control and removal of all host plants, such as sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and broom weed (Sida sp.) from the field. If the field is known to have nematodes, while the orchard canopy is still relatively open,their population can be reduced by solarisation.

For this procedure, moist soil is covered with plastic, preferably black, which is sealed at the edges to retain heat for a period of about 6 weeks under dry, high sunlight conditions. Wasps and ants can hinder manualoperations, and termites can eventually destroy trees, therefore, their nests should be destroyed.

Subsequently ,we shall discuss how to care for matured bread fruit, expected yield, harvest and post harvest handling .

CITRUS (ORANGE/LEMON ) GROWING / CULTIVATION GUIDE AS AN ECONOMIC TREE CROP.



INTRODUCTION

Orange is among a number of other citrus, it originated from Southern China, northern and East India and South East Asia. The orange is a crop of economic importance and also a valuable source of vitamin C. It can be made into juice, concentrates,jams e.t.c.


CLIMATE /ECOLOGICAL REQUIREMENT.

Oranges grows a wide range of soils but light, well drained sandy soils are most ideal. For good production oranges require well distributed rainfall or supplementary irrigation throughout the year. A good source of water is therefore essencial in orange farming. Water requirements vary according to weather conditions, but as a whole the ideal range is between 450mm to 2700mm per year.

TEMPRATURE REQUIRED

Oranges can be grown from as low as sea level to 200m above sea level. Areas of low humidity are most ideal. Such a climate is important for reduced disease intensity and for acquiring good orange colour. A dry hot day, cool at night also favours good color development. Citrus requires temperature ranges from 13°C to 38°C. Optimum temperature is 25°C to 35°C. Extremely high temperatures may be harmful especially during flowering or if cool temperatures are followed by a hot period. Damage occurs in the form of flower and leaf drop.

ORANGE VARIETIES.

** Washington, valentia, Ibadan sweet, agege sweet, valentia late.

MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

** PROPAGATION : Although oranges can be grown from seeds; however budded (vegetatively propagated)
orange seedlings are preferred as planting material. Propagation by seed takes a long time to produce fruits (about 8 - 10yrs) while vegetatively propagated seedlings take about 2 to 3yrs.The land to be used should be ploughed up to medium tilth and levelled. All.grasses cleared and burnt or sprayed using active glyphosphate herbicides.


** SPACING/ LAYOUT/PLANTING REQUIREMENTS.

It is important that the trees are aligned straight in the row and across rows. This necessitates proper layout of the field using pegs, string and tape measure.
Dig holes of 60cm x 60cm x 60cm with spacing of 3.3m x 3.3m (10ft x 10ft) .For each hole the top soil should be separated from the red subsoil.

WHEN TO TRANSPLANT SEEDLINGS.

It is advisable to plant at the beginning of the raining season. Remove the polythene sleeves and place seedlings in the centre of the dug holes. Cover with top soil first and firm the soil around the seedling .Cover with soil up to original level of the nursery sleeve bit ensure that the budded area is kept well above the ground to avoid infection. A stake can be planted or dug alongside the young seedling to which the seedling is tied to keep it erect. Is necessary also to protect the young seedlings with either net,open plastic rubber,square blocks e.t.c.


***WATERING ****

Regular and adequate watering should be provided,all the way up to fruiting, depending on weather conditions. Then a cover crop such as beans or groundnut be intercropped during the first 3yrs until the tree canopies have closed in. After the trees have fully grown leaves it is as a monocrop. Citrus is easily affected by root rot as other intercrops are being cultivated. Avoid planting the intercrop or cover crop plants very close to the orange stalk.

*** FERTILIZER APPLICATION ***

Sodium super phosphate (SSP) fertilizer is normally applied to the soil before planting at a rate of half a kg per hole. About 10 - 20kg of manure can also be added to the soil, mixed together and put back at planting .NPK fertilizer should be applied at the rate of half a kg per plant per year of growth, split into 2 to 3 times applications per year that is apply about 250gram per raining season. Increase the fertilizer by about 300grams NPK per year of growth up to the 10th year when each tree gets 2.5 - 3kg per year. 750grams of Muriate of potash applied per tree per year increases fruit sweetness.



***.WEED CONTROL ***

Weeds compete with young orange trees. Weed before the weeds flower to prevent production of more seeds. Do not dig through as this will damage roots and cause root rot disease.Ring weed around the plant to get a weed free area for irrigation and application of manure or other fertilizers. Keep fields weed free to avoid fruit and leaf spots. In case a herbicide is to be used, spray in the inter rows avoiding drift to the plants.In case, there should be no intercrop, where mulching materials are available, mulching is encouraged.

*** TRAINING AND PRUNING ***

Selective timely pruning of orange tree branches results in higher yields of fruits. Pruning should ensure a round form which is umbrella shaped. Growing seedlings require air and sunshine. Abundant sunshine reduces insects pests and diseases and encourages good quality fruit growth. It is advisable to prune and manage the tree to about 3 to 4meters in height. Trees should not be left to grow higher than 5 to 6 meters. This makes harvesting and pest and diseases control difficult.


***HARVESTING *****

Budded plants start producing fruits at about two and a half years from planting on the field. Full productivity is reached in about 10yrs .Oranges stay on the tree from 6 to 9 months depending on the variety and climate conditions.Maturity is indicated by color change to slightly yellowish. Most trees bear fruits twice a year. Harvest citrus fruits by clipping or pulling from the tree. Use of picking bags or baskets is recommended to collect the fruit and to prevent contact with the ground to reduce disease infection. The average yield is 10 to 12 tonnes per hectare per year which is basically a function of good management practices adopted. With good management the yield can get to 40tonnes per hectare per year. One tree can produce 2 sacks (90 - 130kg ) per season.


We shall stop here on this note. For further enquiries or purchase of quality budded citrus seedlings do contact SEEDWORLD LTD 07082638957.

Can you write about your coconut seedlings?

COCONUT VARIETIES.

Coconut genetic improvement lead to the development of different varieties of coconut which yield 80-100
nuts per palm per year under proper management as against 30-45 nuts from the unimproved coconut.

These include:

1. WEST AFRICAN TALL :

This variety produces 80-100 nuts/
palm/year with an estimated copra yield of 3.3 metric tons per hectare per year.

2. DWARF GREEN : This flowers 3-4 years after yield establishment
and produces 81 nuts/palm/year. From
studies and studies elsewhere, this variety has now been proven to be resistant to the Lethal Yellowing Disease of coconut. It is therefore now being advocated for combating the disease.This variety is also used for ornamental purposes


3. HYBRID COCONUT : This is a cross between the dwarf variety
and the tall. The hybrid flowers 5 years after planting and produces 94 nuts/palm/year with an estimated copra yield of 3.5 tonnes/ha/year.

4. MALAYAN DWARF YELLOW : This is an introduction from Malaysia which flowers 3 years after planting and
produces 84 nuts/palm/year with an estimated copra yield of 2.1 tonnes/ha/year. This variety is used mainly for
ornamental purposes.

5. MALAYAN DWARF RED : This is also an introduction from
Malaysia. It flowers about 3 years after field planting and produces 91 nuts/palm/year with an estimated copra yield of 2.3 tonnes/ ha/year. This variety is also mainly used for ornamental purposes.

INTRODUCING THE NEW APPLE ADAPTABLE TO THE TROPICS .

Wambugu Apple is an organic grafted apple. Is an apple that everyone should have in their backyards and farms. It can grow in any soil and weather condition except for water logged areas but preferably sandy to sandy loamy soil. It starts production from 9 months and can produce for over 50 years .At full maturity a tre e can produce close to 1000 fruits.

*PLANTING PROCEDURES.


Step 1 . Clear the land of all trees and weeds prior to planting seedling.

Step 2 . Dig a hole of 60cm by 60cm by 60cm or Dig a hole of 2 feet by 2 feet .

Step 3 . Mix manure and topsoil in ratio 1:1 or Mix the topsoil with 2 buckets of compost/cured manure/humus soil (If you can access forest soil
thats better )

NB : About an hour before planting the seedings, soak the roots to hydrate them.Plant the grafted apple with the union 2 inch above soil levels.

Step 4 : Apply mulching around the root area with hay or dry grass.

Step 5. Water adequately (5 to 10 litres of water/daily)

NB : Transplant early in the morning or in the evening
Ensure the soil is loosened up and not compacted.
