anoda:

check the thread from page1.. it been detail already.

Ameboperoo:
Some questions though. Why do you have to add glyphosate to 2,4d for your second spray? I think glyphosate is already a total systemic herbicide on its own.
2. It seems you planted your maize 1 per stand? Don't you think you will get a better yield if you plant 2 per stand?
3. You stated that you waited for 2 weeks or so before you planted your maize. I would rather plant immediately after ridging and spray a pre-emergence herbicide like altrazine before the soil begin to cake (though it may not be an issue where your soil is forest or virgin soil).
What do you think? I'm ready to learn more under you sir.

Quick one please
How many kg of atrazine can be used on 5 acres and there dosage

@ Farmerakinloye6.
Good job. Please do let us know the yield when harvesting your cassava.

Some questions.

1. How much can you call a fair price to manually weed 1 acre of cassava farm. (I know location matters, but at least a baseline price)
I can't properly spray using chemicals, and I don't trust farm labour before they kill the cassava.

2. How many times in a cropping season for cassava is one expected to weed.?

3. Fertilizer application? What specific fertilizer does cassava need to further boost yield.?

Thank you.

1. 7-10k depend on the density. 2. Three time from planting to harvesting 3. Don't apply fertilizer to cassava it doesn't worth it A bag of npk 15:15:15 is now 30k in my area at the moment . Just make sure it is weed Free!

Thanks very much

if you are planting to sell fresh plant between may15-30th, but if it dry plant July- early August.

Anybody who knows corn should please help me on this

I need a white variety with very big kernel size and big cob size, im not after yield in tonnes but yield in volume

Additional xteristics should be good husk cover to mitigate bird damage

Finally it must be cheap

How much does it cost to make heaps and plant manually per acre

Farmerakinloye6:

Boss.i think you may have to review this. Do you mean 5k heaps on an acre or 5,0000(5k) as the cost of the heap making on an acre?

bassey25:

He means highest pay rate of 1500 naira for every 200 heaps made.

I still don't know if I will plant maize this year, but I wish to. If I will be planting, then I will do ploughing and ridging this time.

Farmerakinloye6:

He was obviously exploited.

@ Op thanks for your detailed explanation. I want to ask how much do you lease a hectare of land over there?
If the land is always available? And the distance of your location to Akure town. Thanks
