@Farmerakinloye6. Good job. Please can you snap a close shot of the white lion stem. The yield is quite massive. |

Egbon abeg I no understand this post. Can you shed more light on how much caterpillar force I should add to a 16L knapsack? Thanks Farmerakinloye6: |

It means measure 100g of the substance, pour it into a 1 litre bottle or container( like most of the empty 1 liter agro chemical containers) then add water to fill it and shake it well. After shaking ,you can measure out 50ml from the content in the 1 litre bottle/container into knap sack sprayer and spray. Let oga do justice to it las las |

Farmerakinloye6:Great job sir, indeed you're a meticulous farmer. I'll like to ask you sir; 1) On average, how many cassava stands were harvested to fill up that red bus in the picture? 2) If the bus is full, or if it is full load of cabster, what how many tonnes could that be? |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:00am On Jun 22, 2022 |
Raph82:how will I know I rarely go there, most times i will just connect the driver and labourer harvesting it. 2. Have posted it already. |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Raph82(m): 8:53pm On Jun 22, 2022 |
Farmerakinloye6:Ok, thank you so much, for the maize, did you apply fertilizer? and at what period did you apply it? |

Good evening, OP. I was the one that called you not long ago. I have been teaching in a private school for a while. By the end of this January, I intend quiting teaching and go into small scale farming no matter how small. I believe i can complement that with other personal ventures I engage in. I have little or no knowledge about farming. It is an area i love but which i never had the courage to explore. I just want to try with very little resources to see how sustainable it can be. By this, I feel i need adequate knowledge about it before i delve directly into it. Sir, I intend planting cassava and maize. But reading the comments here, I already know i cannot plant cassave and maize the time intend starting which is February. I will like to know if I can plant cucumber along side watermelon in the said month (February)? If yes, how long does it take both crop to mature for harvesting? What is your expert opinion on their sellability (market)? Can I plant either or both crops on the same piece of land? After planting both crops or either of them, can i still plant maize and cassava on the same land (provided they are harvested before planting cassava planting season). If both crops cannot be planted by Feb, what other crop would you advise i go for? I will really appreciate your insights on this. This decision is a lifesaver to me. So, I have to be very cautious with it. Thank you, God bless |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Farmerakinloye6(m): 8:56am On Jan 03 |
babtoundey:1. If you have irrigation system available you can plant them separately not intercrop, if not wait till April ending if you are in south west. 2. Cucumber will be ready for harvest after (check my cucumber thread for more insight) 43 days of sowing. 3. Market is available here in Akure, you will need to research in your town and city too. 4. You can plant them separately. 5. Sure can later plant maize and cassava if you want, make sure you clear and re do ridges or heap. |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by babtoundey(m): 1:04pm On Jan 03 |
Farmerakinloye6: Thanks a lot, bro. God bless you richly, sir |

Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Arbayong(m): 7:52pm On Apr 25 |
I would like to know if I plant cassava now, can I still plant corn or beans inside the cassava after two months? The reason is that I need the beans or corn to dry on the field but don't want to wait to plant all after June? If I plant the beans now and harvest it in July, can I thresh it using mukticrop thresher after uprooting or cutting without first picking the pods and drying them? In the north se have a single season so we just harvest them dry but my new farm is in the south where they have two seasons hence my confusion |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Farmerakinloye6(m): 12:19pm On Apr 26 |
Arbayong:I don't think you can introduce crop to two months cassava because it's almost ready to cover, hence any crop interop by that time will not do well. 2. You want beans to dry and thrash by July in south west NIGERIA? it will not be possible Sir because we will be in rain peak! |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Ameboperoo(m): 10:43pm On Apr 26 |
Arbayong:Cassava is a heavy feeder. You can only intercrop with beans or corn at the time of planting the cassava. After that, forget, the cassava will cover anything you plant with it. Beans can only be planted to mature towards the end of the rains (around October or November) Also, some varieties with not produce until the season irrespective of when you plant it. To intercrop cassava with corn or beans, you have to plant them by July to August. The corn or beans will mature leaving the cassava to continue to thrive. |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Arbayong(m): 1:08am On Apr 28 |
Thanks. That's what's in my mind but I was a bit wishful that I could use the land right now instead of waiting for 2.5 months to plant them. I have another question, I have 20 acres. If I plant cassava on 5 acres now, will I be able to cut the stems by July to plant on the remaining 15 acres? That is buy only a quarter of the stems I need, plant now and harvest stems to be planted with intercropped beans or maize in July. Has anyone done that before? |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Arbayong(m): 1:11am On Apr 28 |
Farmerakinloye6:I am from Ghana but on Nairaland Forum since 2010. From what I've learnt so far it seems our ecology and seasons are similar in both Naija and Ghana only. |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Richardidegah7: 6:56pm On Jun 01 |
Farmerakinloye6: Sir. With our poor soul in the Nassarawa state, don't you think 3. Above is better subject to location and soil fertility state? |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by akile21(m): 10:24am On Jun 16 |
@farmerakinloye6, please can you suggest the weed management for only cassava like you did for cassava and maize (1. Glyphosate+2-4d 2. striker+2-4d 3. Para force 4. Manual weeding)? Can cassava be planted on a moist area after making a big heap while water is passing through furrow? |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by akile21(m): 10:25am On Jun 16 |
Farmerakinloye6: akile21: |
Re: Maize Intercrop With Cassava Farming. by Ameboperoo(m): 7:41pm On Jun 16 |
akile21:You can use Lagon or atrazine as pre-emergence for cassava. Then manual weeding and later use glyphosate. (All paraquat based herbicides including paraeforce have been banned). So you can use Dragon plus, or striker as alternate to glyphosate. Cassava and water are not friends. It is always advertised not to plant cassava in water logged areas to avoid rotting of the tubers. 1 Like |
