Good to tell you guys that my plantains at 7 months have started fruiting.

Do you know that you can reduce cost of production by 40% in plantain production if you are able to produce your own suckers?

Be on the watch out for my coming articles on how to start producing your own suckers for your plantain farm.

I have decided to take the plunge into plantain (See this thread for more details/background https://www.nairaland.com/3475013/request-top-3-items-cultivate ).

However, I have seen some recommendations that suggest to start out small , then expand. I like this idea.

So, the way I am planning to start small is by having a 3m X 3m spacing , and then, either the second or third season, increase the density on the same area by reducing the spacing to 1.5m X 1.5m.

My question here is , are there any drawbacks (or maybe additional advantages ) to doing this ?

The primary drawback that comes to mind it that the end fruit might be smaller once the density is increased. (However , I plan to mitigate that risk by fertilization and irrigation both before and after the increase in density)
The primary advantage I see is the start small , learn and use the knowledge to expand.

Lesgupnigeria:

The more the spacing,the less the suckers to be planted which will affect your yield.
The closer the spacing,the higher the difficulty in managing it well and the farm might not last
