Great job you are doing. What variety of maize is this and what advantage does it have over other varieties of maize. What is the size of the land and what is your expected harvest per acre of land. MANGAM: 7 Likes |

Please do keep us updated on ur progress. Most thread on agriculture section don't ve concluding part. They tell us how they start n invest in a farm project, then they stopped. I look forward to seeing ur progress. God bless ur hustle. |

Re: Growing Red Corn With Photos by Arvinkris(m): 8:49pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
Seems u don't visit ur farm as often as u should, my observation. What method of wedding wud u employ? Have u fertilzed? Someone suggests that close planting space helps in controlling weed n in resisting wind break. 3 Likes |
Re: Growing Red Corn With Photos by MANGAM(m): 12:51pm On Aug 01, 2016 |
I visit every saturday because of my busy schedule at the office. We are employing the manual weeding method. Boys have been contracted to do that(weeding). Afta weeding we will apply the NPK fertilizer Arvinkris: |

Spacing is very vital ingrowing corn. Adequate space helps in the size of the corn. If corn are not spaced, the corn turnout small in size Arvinkris: |
