Thanks for the info.

You are welcome

After all the buds have been destroyed,then the hybrid suckers are treated with fungicide.
2teaspoon of the powdered chemical is.poured into about 1litre of water, mixed together and then the paired sucker is placed inside for at least 24hrs

Will be back later in the day to shed more light.

They are planted at a spacing of 5cm to each other after the fungicide are apllied.

Within 2-3 weeks of planting, the new disease free tissue cultured hybrid suckers begins to come out.

The suckers was covered with sawdust and wet.
Wetting at the first time requires more water.
About 900 litres was use to wet each chamber of 3.5m*2m

After 3 weeks,the hybrid tissue cultured suckers begin to come out.

After 5 weeks, it looks like this.

After 5 weeks, its gently removed with 2-3leaves and placed in a black polythene bag for another 3weeks.

Its then placed in a polythene black

The tissue cultured hybrid suckers ready for planting on the field.
I will be explaining further later on the advantages of using tissue cultured hybrid suckers.

I think i have achieved the first objective of this thread which is to show you that the one of the ways to successful and profitable plantain farming business is to make use of the tissue cultured suckers.

Its also for knowledge sake which is to learn and know whats needed to be done when venturing into plantain cultivation.

You now have 2 choices now

1.Whether to use any type of suckers for your farm and get your finger burnt or

2. To use the tissue hybrid suckers and thank me later on.

The advantages of tissue cultured suckers are numerous
1.Disease free farms ( You can check the first page of this thread for more info).

2.Uniform growth of plantain resulting in uniform harvest thereby increasing your profit.

I have seen someone said that uniform harvesting not possible,maybe thats why some people never gets the desired result.
Same age of plantain and uniform.growth,you are sure to have that.

I will show you how to achieve that on this thread.

3.There is no.need to apply fertiliser to.your plantain 3months after planting which will save you the cost of buying or transporting fertiliser to.your farm.
This make you to save cost and at the end of the day result in more profit.

I will still explain more on each of the advantages and keep you posted on any advantages that .might.come to my mind later on.

I hope after reading through my thread,i will stop reading comments from agro-preneurs that plantain is not a profitable farming business.

Thank you sir.God bless you.

Starting out alone in agribusiness might not be the best thing to do.
Partner with the professional so that you dont learn through your own experience.
Learning from the experience of the professional will save you a lot of stress.

What is the frequency of harvest after the first harvest?

What is the frequency of harvest after the first harvest?

Frequency of harvest after the first is less than the first harvest depending on how you manage the farm.
