No hidden charge whatsoever.
cultivating by May will not be advisable except you have irrigation facility on your farm.
The cost of production from suckers,planting,weeding and harvesting for 1acre is 400k inclusive land purchase.

Ok.thanks
its very possible to intercrop plantain with cucumbee especially when the plantain has not yet form a shade.
Averagely,it will cost about 400-420k/acre and you can realised 700-800k as revenue on the 1acre provided its well managed.

@op,thanks.Is the 700k - 800k for cucumber or plantain.Or is it for both?Finally like how much will I spend for the cucumber.

just for the plantain.You can also intercrop with watermelon but whatever you are intercropping it with, the only cost will be for the seed procurement and maybe cost of insecticides.
Cost of weeding will take care both the plantain and whatever you want to intercrop.

my oga ,thank you.please, what is the ROI for cucumber or watermelon in one acre of land.Thank you.

@ Lesgupnigeria please what will it take to have a good yield when plantain fruits during dry season like around February. My understating is because of lack of rain when plantain fruits during this period there is tendency for it to fall because of the weight of the fruit which is as a result of dehydration. Please shed more light on this.

wonderful questions you have asked.
I always advise people interested in cultivating plantain to always start early so the market will.be in their favour and so.many other things as well.
Some of these challenges can.be overcome if you have started cultivation earlier.
Anyone that want to start plantain farm should have acquire land by now.

Also most of the farms i have visited this year also face these challenges because they didnot make use of good suckers during cultivation.

Most time what cause plantain to fall is not actually the wind,its nematode infection.
When a plantain farm is infected with nematode,slight wind cause them to fall.
If you notice that you can.only destroy the plantain or preventively use tissue cultured hybrid suckers.
Also the reason most farmers does not have good yield is as a result of poor.management.
I.made mention of thinning in one of my thread.
during fruiting,you will.notice 3 or.more suckers around the plantain,the best thing to do.during this time is to remove them to.reduce competition for nutrients.

dapee:
Thanks for your response. The farms i visited in Kobape area in Ogun state all experienced this. When is the right month for planting April, May or June? The only way to prevent this on new farms is using tissue cultured suckers. Is there also any other way of eradicating the nematodes on an existing farm?

Ok.
March-April is the idea time to cultivate.
Yes,the only way to.prevent this is to use tissue cultured suckers.
The only way of eradicating nematode is to destroy the plantain.

If you can supply plantain bunches at that rate,you can contact this company
