4. Treatments: weeding, pesticides, fertilizing.

Weeding can be done manually or you if your seedlings are up to 4 weeks, you can carefully use contact herbicide but ensure the nozzle of your sprayer is hooded. Some agro chemical stores sell hoods that you can fix on your nozzle. The hood prevents drifting by breeze during spraying.
Pesticides: insects and borers love to hide under the cool canopy of okra leaves. You can spray twice(2nd and 4th weeks) if you notice invasion of pests.
Fertilizing: ensure to fertilize before day 30, cos in improved varieties, flower pods start coming out by day 35. While harvesting starts from day 50.
Do not fertilize too close to the roots region, as it may cause injury to the crop.

Hi Oluchi, nice job, I appreciate your write up. Keep it up. Please recommend a contact herbicide and a pesticide. Cheers

The question is,
is this information true?

Did fg released this information?

Is it not fake news?

How many federal road are there in SE?

Is it suggesting that SE has more federal roads that other region?

And how come it's MASSOB that is talking,

What happened to the igbo governors?

What happened to igbo senators?

What happened to igbo reps?

Question things before reacting ...

okoroemeka:
@4words ,I don't think it will be a bad idea to spray a good herbicides like on that land to aviod weeding in such big land

Thanks for your response, we decided to spray herbicide again before the second plough. It will all be done this week hopefully.

olakunleben16:
Good to see youre taking a bold step,i wish you all the very best. I stay around Ofada,mokoloki to be precise i wont mind visiting your farm sir

Hi, I am glad I am taking the step myself. I am giving the project my all. I am still reading and trying to come up with a more suitable approach to my planting. I am still going through oga @okoroemeka and @Wizs2019 approach, hopefully I will have a balance approach.

I have not started disturbing my ogas because I want something more concrete on ground before doing so. My 1 hectare has been ploughed, I was suppose to concluded on beds this week only for me to get tpaid the farm yesterday and noticed the workers haven't done much, not their fault though, the land has a lot of elephant grass so we are doing another ploughing.

A truck of manure has been deposited on the land, though we will use 2 trucks. I have equally gotten drip irrigation system.

So all we are waiting for is for the land to be ploughed the second time so that it will be easy to make beds and set the irrigation. Then I can start disturbing my ogas for guidance.

I was suppose to send @Wizs2019 email but I am having challenges changing my email on nairaland to the one I can access. I still need that guidance.

@olakunleben16 it's not a problem at all if you would like to visit. In fact I need someone that can link me to abokis that stay around and can make beds, I need them urgently. I need more worker to hasten the process.

Contact me Kells.kola88@gmail.com

Wizs2019:
Hey Bro, No problem with a farm visit. Just send me an email so we can organise something.

Oh my, I have been looking forward to this response. I will do just that. Truly grateful . Regards

okoroemeka:
haaahaaa!!!wizs2019 is the new MVP in town,a confirmed no nonsense badass farmer,I was actually reading a write up by our analysts about safety in applying farmyard manure,while it's common sense to wear gloves and protect yourself well,going as far as wearing full body covering,oxygen mask ,eye goggles,etc is laughable ,if u try working under the sun with a full body covering you will understand what I mean,and also saying that manure causes cancer is clearly an indication that most people are far away from reality.and@4words watch this space keenly I will be going to NIHORT to check out their improved okra varieties today,so you can plan for okra on that your land,it's low maintenance,less labor and prices are good now.

Thank you boss, I will do just that, I will patiently wait and I will equally update this space as I proceed on my journey into the agric world.

I am waiting for @Wizs2019 response on farm visitation. I pray he grants me this request.

Once again Thank you

Wow what a read... So it took me 2 days to go from page 1 to page 39. I must honestly commend Mr Emeka for this thread, it has really broaden my knowledge though I am still far from where I want to be.

It's past 2 am and can't sleep, pondering and calculating on my next move.

My little story

I got a job, started on the 1 first of August and quit on the second because I am determined to make success out of farming. Not like I have all the needed tools and resources but I believe with kind people on this forum, I will be able pull it off.

Right now, I am really counting on Everybody from @okoroemeka to @Wizs2019, @FarmTech @FMCASH and a host of others I may not have mentioned.

I currently have 1 hectare of land close to ofada in ogun state and I have commenced land preparation basically on hermicide and ploughing.

I intend to plant 3 different crops on the land including cucumber occupying one acre. I have plans for drip irrigation, staking etc.

I was thinking pepaper on the other acre but since Oga Emeka is advising against it due to rain I am thinking of replacing it with another crope.

While on the last acre I intend farming potato on it. Just to have a balance of from a high risk to low risk crops.

I am hoping with your kind advice, gestures and help I will be able to pull this off.

@Wizs2019 I will really apprecrate it if I can come meet you in person on your farm.

Once aagain, i am glad to have come across this page. Thank you

Don't use any other financial institution that's not interswitch (quickteller) from experience. If you have money start with them. Thier new POS is now #65,000 The only disadvantage is that it doesn't accept Visa debit card but it paypoint platform takes all card.
First Monie is very good their POS is superp and reliable. Their POS accept Visa debit cards. The only disadvantage is their network hitches and charges.
Closa Access (Diamond) POS is guru in processing only Visa Access (Diamond) cards. The network is fast and service reliable. Only disadvantage is that it takes only Access(Diamond) cards.
Merchant POS could also be used in POS business it accept all cards only disadvantage is that is not an instant creditation it takes 24hours.
Note: Having business name is added advantage in getting these pos.

I was almost setting up one and someone told me it's not profitable, you did barely break even. That if I make up to 50k a month after expenses then I am lucky. 50k is just ridiculous to me.

Please how true is this. Thanks

I will say for once the people of Niger delta and NDDC in particular are using their head for once. These are the kind of developmental project people of this region should be working on instead of waiting endlessly on the mercy of Abuja.

The gas here is in abundance so powering the plants shouldn't be an issue.

My only worry now is hopefully it will be implemented.

What nonsense. To me, she is the one who assaulted the man.

Fine the man might have been guilty of damaging your car, but what's the essence of holding on to him when he tried running when you could have simply taken a shot of the car, plate number and necessary information for the police. You don't have to make physical contact with the man.

In this case, it's the man that has a case of assault and not you.

Threebear:
Lagos is not a step ahead of every state in Nigeria, do not make ridiculous generalisation with your very limited knowledge .
Lagos of course is one of the most populous city in Nigeria and at such Man power is readily available but never mistake that for actual development.
A lot of states in Nigeria are way ahead of Lagos in technological advancement when we compute the average ratio of population, land and vicinity and the rate of technology accrued to each region.

This must be a joke

Harrynight:
Oya tell me, wats that particular skill ur yearning for?

App development.

africangirl000:
You are the one who needs to use your brain. Any sensible Nigerian knows when nigerians mention "skill acquisition", it refers to the areas of fashion designing, baking, makeup artistry, bead making and the likes. If you had common sense, (which apparently you lack else you wouldn't have quoted me with insults) you would know the market is indeed oversaturated. Do you know how many bakers are on Lagos mainland alone? Do you know how many keep enrolling in vocational schools daily to learn same skill? Where is the market? You as a human, would you be willing to try out the service of someone new and untrusted when you already have a "customer"?

First of all the skill you listed has been saturated...

fashion designing,
baking,
makeup artistry,
bead making

My question to you here is, is it better to have these skills or not having at all?

If truly they are saturated, how many have we exported to atleast countries like Ghana, Benin, Togo etc.

Not to even go too far how well are these industries grown in the whole of Nigeria and not Lagos alone(hence my 180million potential customers)

How well are we competing with the foreign counter part in this country.

If I were you, how differently can I harness these skills would be my concern so as to stand out.

I will say again, use your brain as I will equally love to use mine.

If I had learnt a skill or two before graduating from the university, I wouldn't have spent time trying to secure a job. After getting the job, the question now is, am I satisfied?

Nothing beats being empowered with skill sets to make a living for yourself other than waiting for hand-outs.

If I have the time, I will like to partake in this opportunity, there is this particular skill I am yearning for right now and I need an expert to put me through. Also, I will get to benefit directly from this government and Nigeria as a whole for the first time in my small existence.

africangirl000:
It is not about training them. The market is already over-saturated. Will they find them clients as well?Wonder why everyone thins learning a vocational skill is the ultimate escape from poverty.

Come on use your brain, we have over 180million people in this country with yearning needs that have not been met. So what exactly do you mean by "over-saturated"

We still import the smallest of things, we still look out of this country for the fabrication or construction of somethings. Even China with her enormous Arsenal of citizens with vocational skills will not say it's over-saturated.

Now where the problem lies is that people don't make use of what they've learnt but rather still looking for the white collar jobs or how to get rich quick forgetting that everything has its gestation period.

We will get there.

If I am Buhari, I will use Lagos as my sample project. Almost Everything in this state is mind sweetening, the developmental stride is visible to the blind and this is what we ought to be seeing in Nigeria after 3years of Mr Buhari's reign.

Lagos is on auto pilot.

rossyc:
Jeez!!! You are wicked..But truth be told she looks anorexic, she can still be slim buh not too skinny made her look sick.

Exactly my point. Be slim and not sick

rossyc:
When she will be watching her weight for the contest.

She over did it, trying to look like the American model. Those guys are practically bones covered with flesh working about the place.

Tanyabee:
so you prefer overweight ladies?

Na aaa, I don't like overweight ladies, come on that's sickness. But it's not for her to be looking like Nigeria's problem. She is just too skinny. You can practically see her vj protruding through her swim suit.

Every extreme of human weight is Bad and should/can be corrected.

I have nothing to say

I am sorry to say, but this girl needs to put on some flesh is she on hunger strike or something.

Come on guys, we all know this is not Nigeria. The name and image of the country is soiled enough, let us not add to it.

Not Nigeria

Spaxon:
Lwkmd....

Spaxon:

Okay
Now that you've guessed right, what can i do with it...
My being single is a personal thing, I am doing it deliberately..


Single or not, what i wrote in the other thread is true.... And this your moniker, hope it's not someone I have vowed to ignore no matter his words or what he does

And for the bolded, lol it's not a sure thing.

Lol

You will hardly find me commenting on nairaland posts. I don't know what got into me tonight. We'll my commenting comes with season . So I am sure not the someone.

And as for your being single, your comment on the other trend was quite subjective. Though I read all other comments and I couldn't agree more and that's why I had to modify.

Right now, I am guessing you're going to be...

Spaxon:
so terrible if ur friend Is involved

Believe me, I know this. I have been bitten by a very close friend now number 1 enemy just because of a relationship. Story for another day.

Anyways I am glad you're still open to love. You never can Tell where it is lurking.
