Gdeven all,we shall continue from the last lesson we had .

******Soil Physical Characteristics*****

Soils are made of physical particles of rocks and minerals matter. The level of integration of the particles determines the nature of soil.

The rock particles are classified into aggregates as small stones, sand, coarse particles and fine particles (silt and clay).

Similarly, the broken down organic matter can be classified into groups based on size. The organelle is the fine particle size usually called organic matter colloids.

Since reactions take place at the surfaces of the particles, the available soil nutrients will
depend on the particle surface area compared with the mass / volume of the particle concerned.

Soil particles come together to form soil aggregates of different shapes and forms. These aggregates determine the air-space and water spaces available in the soil.

These latter conditions determine the suitability of the soil medium for crop adaptations. For instance, porous soil has large air spaces and thus water spaces in the aggregates.

Porous soil in turn allows free flow of water particles through the soil with little or nothing retained in the soil for crop use later.

This type of soil aggregate encourage leaching clayey soil on the other hand has very small air spaces and water in its aggregates. Water does not flow through it easily.

Besides, whatever water is available is held very tightly to the surface of the clay particles at the expense of the crops.

Because of slow downward flow of water (percolation) this type of soil aggregate encourages heavy surface run-off – surface erosion.

Physical characteristics of the soil determine which types of soil are prone to flood, swamp, erosion, leaching, etc. These in turn determine what types of crops the soil can support.

In our next lesson we shall look at the NATURE OF CROPS.

Gdeven all,we shall continue from our last lesson.

*****The Nature of Crops****

Crops vary in their needs for water, nutrients, sunshine and day length, and agronomic management practices.

For example, water is very critical in the growth and production of sugar care, bananas, plantains, rubber and to some extent, oil palm and pawpaw.

Whereas in the production of cotton, groundnut and beans (legumes in general), sunshine and day-length are the most critical.

Therefore, in the selection of what to grow, you must bear in mind the variables which encourage the crops to perform optimally.

Unless, you are prepared to create a micro-climate or environment for the crops of your choice, you should as a matter of importance check through the list of crops that perform optimally in the (selected) environment where you intend to grow the crops.


For example, swamp rice requires pre-nursery and nursery operations in the production of the rice seedlings; upland rice does not require pre-nursery and nursery operations.

Most tuber crops do not perform well in swamps or water logged areas. Similarly, most cereals require heavy sunshine, moderate water / rainfall and well drained soils.

We shall stop here today to continue with economic factors later.

Happy new year

Gdm all,we will take the concluding part where we stopped in our last lesson.

*****Economic Factors****

Besides the innate characteristics of the crops and the environmental factors as climate and soil, other variables that influence permanent crops production are the economic factors.

Economic factors include such variables as labour, supply of tools and materials, market forces as supply, demand and price.


*****Technical Factors*****

Supplies of inputs as seeds, seedlings, improved stock are considered very important in any production activity in agricultural enterprise.

Sources of energy for farm work include human beings (you and I), machines as: tractors, ploughs, small machines, motors, solar energy, wind energy, water energy, animal power (as bulls, work horses and donkeys), electrical energy, chemical power, etc.

The supply of the above forms of power in right quantities and qualities at the appropriate time are critical to successful farm operations.

The commonest source of energy is the human power. As at today in Nigeria, the supply of human labour at the critical period of production is indeed a crucial issue.

This is mostly because agricultural operations are limited in time. At the critical periods, the available farm hands cannot go round the required activities of the period.

Lack of necessary farm hands at the required time may lead to loss in the productivity of the crops so grown.

Where relevant farm hands are inadequate, farmers are expected to augment with power from other sources.

Such other sources include animal power, mechanical power from machines as tractors and small engines. The supply of these is also inadequate.

Where funds are available farmers are advised to own personal sources of mechanical energy or share with other farmers.
Farmers are advised to source for funds that assist in the purchase of farm power.

****Demand, Supply and Price (Market Forces)****.

You, as a farmer, must consider the demand for the crop / crop produce that you intend to produce on your farm.

You must also consider the total demand for the crop / produce compared with the total supply of the produce in your immediate community or market.

This is necessary as the total demand and supply of the produce will eventually determine its market price.

The price at which you sell your produce will determine your total turnover in the enterprise.

Your gain will determine if you will continue to be in business in future.

****CONCLUSION*****

To embark on rewarding crop production activities, a farmer needs to consider the nature of the immediate environment.

He or She also needs to consider the type of crop that will do well in the environment.

The environmental variables include the elements of weather, soil and edaphic factors on which the crops will derive their food and living.

Besides all of the above, what will determine your success or failure as a farmer are the economic factors.

A good farmer should be able to identify all the above discussed variables and relate them to crop choice appropriately if he/she wants to be in business.

With this we come to the end of this lesson.I hope this help you as an intending farmer to make wise decisions in this year's planting season for those who depend on rain.

*INTRODUCING COCOPEAT AS AN EFFECTIVE SEED STARTING OR GROWING MEDIUM*

Coco peat increases the porosity of the potting mix. This helps to keep the soil loose and airy helping in better root growth. Better root growth results in better plant growth and higher yield.

Coco peat increases the water holding capacity of the potting mix even as it increases the porosity of the soil. This ensures that the plant does not suffer from overwatering or underwatering.

High porosity, high water holding capacity and high cation exchange capacity together mean that the quantity of coco peat required per plant can be very less.

Coco peat has excellent properties that make it a very forgiving hydroponic (soilless) medium. Being an organic medium it has high Cation Exchange Capacity allowing nutrients to be absorbed and released to the plants according to their need.

Unlike peat, coco peat is easy to rewet. Dry coco peat is very hydrophilic and quickly absorbs water making it easy to use.

Unlike inorganic medium such as perlite, vermiculite or rockwool, coco peat can be compressed to one fifth or less of its volume reducing transportation, storage and handling costs.

Coco peat is a renewable media. It is extracted from the husk of coconuts.Coco peat contains natural trichoderma which acts as a Bio agent against harmful pathogens.

It provides a great environment for beneficial fungi and bacteria to grow.
Coco peat can be pressed into a variety of shapes and sizes to suit all growing applications.
Coco peat mixed with coconut husk chips provides all the advantages of coco peat while increasing the drainage of the mix.

*WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE PADMA F1 TOMATO VARIETY FOR RAINING SEASON PLANTING*

Making attempt to plant tomato during the wet season without choosing the right variety would surely result into loses.

Therefore, the corner stone of foundation to successful cultivation of tomato during the wet season is choosing the right variety.

There is no other variety in this class than Padma hybrid f1 which was specifically breed for tropical low land and wet season (high humidity) period.

Come along as we explore the uniqueness of this wonder variety.

*UNIQUENESS OF PADMA F1 TOMATO VARIETY*


1. *Good Resistance*:
Bacterial wilt is a major disease of solanaceous family which tomato belongs. This disease is prevalent in wet soil and can be very destructive.

The uniqueness of this variety is that; it has intermediate to high resistance to bacterial wilt, fusarium oxysporum sp. and tomato mosaic virus.

These are the major diseases associated with wet season and in Padma f1; you have refuge from them.

2. *Good Adaptability*: Padma f1 has good adaptation to warm and humid growing conditions (which is particularly common in Southern part of the country).

Plant vigor is moderate to strong. Excellent performance in tropical lowland rainy season.

The variety has been used either on demo farms or large commercial fields in most part of the country and it has indeed proved its adaptability.

Please, never commercially cultivate any tomato seed variety that has never been grown successfully during the raining season in this country.

3. *High yield*: The weight of its average fruit is usually between 90 – 100g and yield per stand can be far above 5kg.

However, this would not come naturally without strict adherence to rigorous nutrient feeding protocol.

4. *Market appeal*: Padma f1 fruits are somewhat high round in shape with good firmness and nice red color when fully mature.

This makes it attractive to buyers particularly during the raining season when finding quality tomato in the market becomes difficult.

5. *Long shelf life*: The shelf life of Padma f1 is as much as 2 weeks if harvested greenish red.

You may want to store for some days before taking it to the market and doing this would not pose any problem provided it is done in the right way.

*NOTE*
That Padma f1 has all these qualities is not enough reason to be nonchalant with its cultivation.

There are basic practices you must adopt to get absolute desired result: especially
Staking/Trellises, Use of raised bed, Rigorous nutrients protocol, Diseases and pest control program, Plant spacing and Timely harvesting, Alternative sources of water.

STEPS FOR CULTIVATING EGG PLANT .

1.LAND PREPARATION : Every good farm practice begins with land preparation prior to planting.Land selected for egg plant must be well ploughed to a depth of about 20cm and harrowed to provide a good tilth.Well - rooted organic manure must be added to the soil before planting. The crop could be planted straight in the field or farm or seedlings could be raised in seed beds through broadcast or trays and afterwards transplanted.

✍️ *HOW TO START FARMING AS A BUSINESS*
������������
Most of the times, failure in business is born from the very first stages due to poor planning.

�It's prudent that one takes due diligence to understand the project they choose to do even before they think of starting.

�Your first year or 2 are for learning and mastering the business then later you can earn. However you can earn as you learn.

✍ *STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR A SUCCESSFUL FARMING BUSINESS*

�Do enough *Research and Market survey*
You must find a gap to fill in society and a specific market segment to target,
attend farming trainings when you can and learn from the experts.Know what you grow and grow what you know.

�Have a *Business Plan* for your proposed project- Production plan ,management plan and marketing plan (What,Why,How,When,Where and For Whom are you producing.)

�Have a *Farm Plan* for your site however small it may be. (Intensify the little you have for optimum utilisation)

�You may *Test your Soil* to determine what nutrients lack in it and it's PH levels.(Test for Nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous and organic matter.)

�Have a Consultant for technical advise and support. (This will guide u to make reliable and sustainable decisions)

�Start your project, it's better to *Start Small* and learn the business then keep expanding.(start from where you are with what you have)
Like any other business, you must go through all the stages of growth.

Most people want to start big because someone has told them you can get 10M from one acre of watermelon, so u decide to start with 10acres because you want 100M.
Trust me you will make a loss.

�Have Good *Skilled Management* at the farm for best results.
(If you can't stay at your farm,you must deploy a full time manager who will help u implement your plan.)

However, you need to visit and supervise your project at least every week or 2.

�You must be *Engaged* in your project 80%. (This is your new born baby, it needs you so much to be engaged and passionate) If u are not there, trust me things won't work out.

�Plan to have a *Mixed Farm* At least have more than a project at your farm. Its very risky to do one thing on a big scale for starters. Its better you do like 3 projects, you can have both crop and animal, some fruits ,vegetables and legumes ,this will increase your revenue streams and create sustainability for your farm.
you can have the long term and shot term projects for sustainability.

�You Must be ready to *Market* your products.
Don't just spend all your time in the farm and forget about the market, The market is your source of cash, you must wake up ,do awareness about what you produce.

Market starts with your neighborhood, friends, relatives and every person who knows you.
People should start calling you by what you do: (Madam Watermelon, Mr Rabbit, Madam Nkoko etc.)
Always remember, You have a lot of mouths to feed

TOP MISTAKES MOST NEW FARMER'S MAKE IN VEGETABLES FARMING.

* Planting Poor Quality Seeds

The use of poor quality seeds is a major factor contributing to poor yield in vegetables farming. Hybrid seeds ensure good disease resistance and great yield.Farmers are encouraged to plant seeds suitable to each season and to the climate of their region .

*Poor Soil Management

Cultivating crops in poor soil is a receipt for failure. Most exotic vegetables ( Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Peppers, Watermelon, Cabbage, Lettuce e.t.c) are heavy feeders of nutrients. Good soil ensures a healthy start to the plants till harvest time.
Soil test is advised to be carried out before planting.

*Poor Water Management

Irrigation is key in vegetables farming especially during dry seasons. Drip irrigation is advised as the best type of irrigation for exotic vegetables farming as it saves water,reduces labour, help to control pests, allows fertigation and very efficient in root zone wetting.
Poor quality water can also as well affects crops yield. Water must be tested for any inadequacies correction.

*Inadequate Fertilization.

It has been observed that most farms where insufficient manure and fertilizers are used, record very low yield.Plants need nutrients and when these nutrients are absent or not enough ,the plants punish the farmer with low yield. Soil must be amended with manure and soluble fertilizers.
Soil test is advised before planting and to have a proper fertilization schedule.

*Poor Pest and Disease Management

Pests and diseases can wipe out your crops within days if proper strategies have not been put in place to prevent and attack them.
Some crops are naturally attractive to insects ; good insecticides can resolve insects attack quickly. Note also that careless usage of fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides can aggravate fungal infections and insects attack problem.

*Weed Management

Weeds are unwanted plants growing side by side with crops.They host harmful pests and diseases, they compete for nutrients, water and space with crops.Weeds reduce yield if they are not removed as soon as possible.

*Not Staking Plants

Unstaked plants(Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Pepper e.tc.) can get infected by soil borne diseases easily. They also take space and make difficult farmer movement on his farm.Failure to stake plants affects greatly the yield.

*Reckless Usage of Pesticides and fertilizers

Uncontrolled application of insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers can negatively impact on the growth and yield of crops.It's advised to use less fungicides and insecticides during flowering. When necessary, it is preferably they are sprayed in the evening when pollinators are less active.
