Dry season is just a few months I am very sure there will be rain once or twice by February and by March there will be improvement in term of rainfall.

But in case you have financial muscle to irrigate your farm I will advise you to go ahead and do it. Objective of irrigation is to bring water into your crops either drop irrigation or rain-gun.

Boss, pls when its best period period to start planting plantain this year.

You can plant at any month in a year it depend on soil....if you are planting on swamp land you can start planting by August brake ...if it is upland you can plant by Feb.

Agronomically you start by ending of dry season and beging of rain season....

if you clear your land during dry season or December and set I on fire by February and you plant it by February. By February there will be rain once or twice this is enough for growing of sucker. remember sucker also have some little quantity of water to enable it grow before rain will start fully by March /April

5 reason why you need to invest in
plantain plantation
Apart from contribution to growth of country GDP and creating employee and you empower yourself, some of these are benefit of investing in plantain planation..

1. 9-10 months after planting you harvest your plantain and sell it raw. This will bring raw cash to you and sell it pay as you go. You collect your money immediately. Plantain farmers are not on credit.

2. You can process your plantain. As you know when you process your product you are adding value to that product. More value more money. You can process it into plantain flour , Plantain chips and many more. The money you will realize from processing Plantain is more than money make from selling raw, this is undisput fact

3. Few months after planting you will start notice that some suckers are growing round your plantain. These suckers can be extracted and sell and serve as income to you. You are going to make more money by doing this.

4. 6-7 months after harvesting you come back and harvest again on the same spot you harvest earlier. By doing so you are making more money...

5. Next planting season, extract suckers from parent one, you don't need to use money to buy suckers or planting input again. This will save you cost during your farm expansion.

Effect of Bulldozer On Your crop....

in case you intend to cultivate on large hectares of land and you are planning to make use of Bulldozer to clear the land for you in other to make work easier and faster. Yes it will make work easier and faster for you but agronomically it is not advisable. This is because Bulldozer will clear all the top soil which contains large amount of nutrients for the growth of your crops to one side of the farm and this will have negative effect on your crops.

if you planted Plantain on land cleared with bulldozer, the plant will growth to some certain stage and stop growing at certain stage. it will not grow to the stage that it will produce fruit for you.

if you plant on area where the debris were dropped and you plant plantain on it, it will grow faster on that side where you design for planting will not produce fruit for you.
I will advise you not make use of Bulldozer to clear the land. You can make use of manual mean or old school method to clear the land.

You can clear and plant. You can clear small and plant it

How to Procure farm land

someone called me from Ajah I Lagos the he is interested in Plantain plantation and Land is major challenge that he can't afford the cost of buying land in Ajah and environment for cultivation of Plantain. what i told his is to move away from that are and go to near by village or neighboring state and talk to village cheif ( Baale) he should tell them he is intention that he need some piece of land for lease or outright sales. i am very sure he will be allocated. if you are reside in a city, you hardly got a land suitable for farm in a city you need to go extra mile away from city to search for land.

cost of renting farm land withing Ogun state and Oyo state is between 10,000 to 15,000 naira per acre. You will need to buy Dry Gin (baba apari) a bottle is ok for them.

in term of workers, they too can be of help or you hire by yourself.

The Best Climatic Condition For Plantain Plantation

plantain required a hot and humid environ, ideally the average air temperature should be above 30°c and rainfall at lease 100mm per month. Rainfall should be well distributed throughout the year and dry season should be short as possible. I will advise irrigation if you are planning for commercial purpose. in case you are subsidence Farmer you can plant around river bank or swamp area.

Plantain doesn't doing well on water logging area. if there is too much deposit of water the water can kill your plantain. Therefore the land you intend to you for cultivation of plantain should be well selected, don't think because plantain is water loving crop and you should plant your crop inside water deposit area.
if rainfall is well distribute round the year, Plantain does well on upland rather than swamp area.

Treated Plantain Suckers

After you have done with land clearing the next is to procure your Plantain suckers. You will need to transport your suckers from my farm to yours. Plantain suckers can be dump on the ground without planting between period of 2-3 weeks after extracted from parent.

SETTING YOUR DEBRIS ON FIRE
After you have done with clearing of your weeds the next is to set it on fire by doing this you are reduce the soil pH which is best for the crop. The ashy also serve as source of nutrients for the crop.
if you want to proof this, anywhere you have large deposit of ashy on your farm, plant there and compare the growth rate of crops you plantain on large deposit of Ash and those crops you plant on where there is no ash. You will find out that the one you plant on ash deposit area are growing faster than where there is no ash.

As a result of this I will advise you set your farm on fire, but you need to be careful when you are burning your farm so that it doesn't affect any other person farm which can lead into trouble.

pls which irrigation system should I use, or I should use hose because cost rain gun is costly for me

it all depend on your financial status, if you know that you don't have enough finance to arrange drip and others comfortable method of irrigation, you can make us of hose as you suggest. But you need someone to do the wetting for you manually.
Make sure that you drop large deposit of water on each stand. if your farm is large it doesn't mean that you wet all d farm in a day. Make sure you don't wet during high intensity sun.

Ant mean of irrigation you use there is no problem, you objective is to ensure that water get to the crop.

Do you have plantain now? If you have plantain now I will advise you to move it to near by market buyers are waiting for you.

Yesterday I intend to sell my plantain at Mile 12 market market (owode elede) in Lagos, you can't believe it the rate stopping me along the road, they want to buy plantain. In short I don't bother to reach mile 12 market more, I just call any amount i feel like and the buyer pay.

I am very surprised for the 8 years I have been cultivating plantain demand has not reach this level, where people will demand for Plantain and buy it exorbitant price like d one I sold yesterday.

This doesn't just occurs, the dry season is too long and must farmers don't practice irrigating farming as a result of dry season many farmers will loss their produce to dry season. As a smart farmer you need to engage yourself on irrigation and make sure that your crops is wet round the year. You will definitely got good results at end of the day.

This is different between white farmers and Black farmers. White man irrigates his farmer while Black man wait for rainfall, white man has produce round the year while Black man has produce once in a year.
At end of the day who will be richer, you too can provide d answer.

Marketing

Before you embark on any business you need to think of how to sell or market it. This is where you will recover your investment back.

Before you procure your land or farm field you need to be sure that it is not too far from main market you intend to sell your farm produce. This is because transport should not consume large portion of your profit.

You need to put this at back of your mind that all farm produces has scarcity and glutting period. So you need to arrange your self and think of which of the season you want to harvest and you plan toward that period.

Glutting period, most farmers in Nigeria depend on rainfall, so they plant at the same time and harvest at the same time this will lead to flooding of markets with farm produces and force the price down. But if you plan against scarcity period, although you will go extra mile to get the job done, by the time you got it you will make more money than your expectations.

Another major factor to consider is which can I move my produce to. If you can go extra mile by moving your products to up country where they lack these products, you will make more money than you think off.

Lagos market is well organized, I don't know about other state farm produce markets. It is a win win situation for buyers and sellers. It is not a fix price market. The price will determine by demand and supply principle. The more produces come to market that day the less the price. If you have less produces in market and too much demand for the product the price will definitely sky rocket. It is not a rocket science, just normal things.
Also you don't need to engage with your buyer, there are standby agents popularly call "OLOBE"
They will sell it on your behalf, if you are not certified with the price you will tell them and you will wait for another buyers. I tell you can't spend more than 3-4hours in market before you are done with selling your produce.

How To identify Best soil For Cultivation Plantain

Every year I often lay emphasis on this topic because it constitude 80% of your total out put. As a result of this you need to give attention it deserves before you embark cultivation of any crops, especially plantain.

To identify Best soil as a novice, most of land in southern Nigeria are very good but you still need to go for the best. A virgin land or forest is best to cultivate plantain. The land must consist of trees, big tress or small trees. Both kind of lands are ok, but the one that consist of big trees is the best. This is because the land would have been protected from direct sunlight for very long time. Died leaves would have been decay for a very long time. Several animal would have dead and decompose for a very long time. This will help the soil.

Look at the first image you will see the that front there is forest that consist of big trees. if you cultivate on this kind of forest you will definitely got the results. There will be no need to apply fertilizer on the crops, within 9 months your plantain is ready for harvest.

On the same first image, you will see a land dry one without trees, you will see that this kind land if you cultivate on this land you will need to enrich the soil upon that you can't compare your produce with the 1st land I show you. Also time for the maturity will be far than the first one.

Another major steps you need to put into consideration is color of the soil, please make sure it black colour. Look at second image this is very important.

If you put all these together with my breed of Suckers you will definitely get good results.
