Site selection
Choose an accessible well-drained fertile soil.

Planting and planting material
1. Planting starts in April and can be extended to October.
2. The quantity recommended for 1 ha is 60 bundles of cassava stem.
3. Stem cuttings 25 cm long should be planted at a spacing of 1 m x 1 m.
4. Maintain 100% planting rate by replacing dead or nonviable stems.

The first Application recommended is 2 weeks after planting.

for an Hectare, 200kg bags is recommended. That is 4 bags of 50kg
It should be applied using a match box as measurement per plant.
The fertilizer should be covered

The following fertilizers and their rate/ha are recommended
• NPK 15:15:15–12 (50 kg) bags
• NPK 20:10:10–9 (50 kg) bags

Apply fertilizer in a ring, 6 cm wide and 10 cm from the plant or broadcast with care around the plant, making sure the fertilizer does not touch the stem or leaves.

Second Application is 8 weeks after planting.
The fertilizer measurement should be bottle water cover.

TME 419 can be gotten in Tede, Atisbo local government. They sell a bundle for N300. They can only deliver to Sepeteri and Ago Amodu. If you can make arrangement for alternative transport its available. For an hectare you need between 50 to 60 bundle. My no is 08064688501 to link you up if you want. Sorry I can't post his number on line

Is it OYSADEP Tede?

No. They are the Justice Peace of the Catholic Church. Locate the catholic church in Tede and ask for the Justice peace that deals with farmers.

Did Jethro2 say cassava can be planted till October? Pls I need info on this.

Planting depends on your location rainfall pattern. Cassava needs some amount of rainfall to help it establish its root properly in the soil. Once its established then it can be sustained during the drought
please be conversant with the rainfall pattern before you attempt planting.

The first plough of about 40acres and another 68acres about to be completed

We want to plant cassava on everything

DrIsa, you said u charge 6k monthly per acre and there are about 2.5 acres in 1 hectare. Does it mean u charge 6x2.5= 15k per hectare per month making 180k per annum?

Seed can be bought from
a Technisem representative/Agrotropic in Ibadan. The office is near the the state secretariat
b Premier seed also in Ibadan is a good source.
c East West International,s office is in Badagry.

Please dont just plant because every one is planting. There are lots to be consider before choosing the crop. Among which are
1 Markets demand for the products
2 The climatic condition and rainfall pattern
3 The soil type requirement
4 Resistance to pest and disease

Your persistence and passion for farming

amarawa: DrIsa, you said u charge 6k monthly per acre and there are about 2.5 acres in 1 hectare. Does it mean u charge 6x2.5= 15k per hectare per month making 180k per annum?

no 6k for the no of acre you want to cultivate

Did you know that snails are the most
prolific livestock animal producing
morethan 150 eggs at a time in one clutch?
It’s also the livestock that requires less
stress in breeding them. You can buy a
baby snail for less than N30 and make more
than N200 as profit on such snail when it
reaches table size.
The prolific aspect is that you can decide to
breed 4 snails and before a year runs out
you will have more than a thousand snails
in your snail farm. Though their is a kind of
spechie that produce this amount of eggs
at a time twice in a year. It is called Achtina
achatina, capable of producing 300 eggs in
a clutch.
If you can produce at least 30, 000 snails
that sells @N50 each (whole sale price)
table size you will be making N1,500,000 in
one season.
Snail also does not require money to buy
their foods as it is naturally available.
You may be wondering how you are going
to setup the business. Pls read the full
