How To Get Bountiful Harvest From Yam Planting by AgroDoctor: 9:00am On Dec 16, 2022
We have been harvest our yams and the harvest has been very encouraging. It is a bountiful harvest for us. �

If you sow sparingly, you will also reap sparingly.

Now, let's look at some factors that made the harvest to be a good one.

1. Good quality seedlings
We did not hold back in getting high quality yam seedlings because we know that you will reap according to what is planted.

2. Good quality soil
Planting in nutrient rich soil is very important. It has a very vital role to play in the kind of harvest you will get. You can get good quality seedlings but the soil can make the harvest to be very poor if the soil nutrient is very weak due to constant use and no means of replenishing the lost nutrients.

So, if you have any place in mind you want to use for farming this coming 2023, ensure that you take into cognizance the soil nutrient, this is very important. If the land has been used repeatedly for farming, you can use organic manure and soil stabilizers to replenish the lost nutrients.

3. Adequate water.
Water for crops is very important. Don't rely on rain. Deliberately make provision for water. Unless you are not ready for the farm business.

4. Use of organic manure
This also helped. We used organic manures made from ashes of burnt grasses. This is something anyone can also do.

5. Adequate care
We gave all the care needed for the yams to grow. Weeding was done regularly and other important farm routine activities were carried out. Some people want to reap a bountiful harvest but are not ready to do the work involved. They just plant and abandon the farm. Nothing meaningful will come out of it.

6. Planting at the right time
We planted the yam as at when due.

7. Staking early enough
We did the staking of the yams early enough so that they will not be creeping which can affect their growth as insects, weeds, and even rodents can damage their leaves. The more the leaves expand the deeper the yams go into the soil and it turns out bigger. So staking of yams early is very important.

Now that you know these things... apply them.

Nb
You can do profitable yam farming in bags and buckets.

Ps

As 2023 draws closer, prepare for your next Farming project early enough. It should be part of the investments that will generate additional income for you.

You can talk to me for any farm project you want to setup.
