Manure application and planting

I do "on the spot" manure application. By this I mean the spot I intend to plant the seed.

Then plant on row at 50cm space and 1inch deep. I plant one seed per hole.

Seed

The best variety of seed that I know for now is Tokyo F1 and that is what I planted.

Fertiliser

I as well use inorganic fertiliser to enhance the growth. Depending on how chanced I am, I apply Urea at 14 to 21 days.

And I apply NPK 15:15:15 at 28 days that's when Tokyo F1 starts flowering.

In addition, I spray liquid fertiliser too.

Pests and diseases

To prevent and control diseases and pests, I use insecticide a d Fungicide.

I spray insecticide at 4-5 days interval starting from after planting/before the plants sprout till harvest.

Fungicide is sprayed in that manner too but I usually start spraying it when the crop is more than 10 days whether infection or not.

Prevention they say is better than cure.

Kudos to the OP. This truly represents the future of Nigeria's vision of a much needed strong agro-economy. The more people that get involved in farming like the OP, the shorter time it would take to achieve the nation's goal of self-sufficiency in agriculture and quality nutrition.
