Very well. It's a good prospect. We just hope our government can give us the needed security.

Cassava I guess.
I still feel like going back to farm o but I'm afraid for herdsmen. Let me still be hustling here in FCT for now.
I miss farming so much I even dream about it often. Hmmm.

good morning everyone.. a lil reminder this is still open

willybaby:
Am sure some keen followers would have been asking when would land preparation start for the new season, well it's because this season machines are doing all the work, the plan is to cultivate double digits in heactres for Cassava and maybe a heactre or 2 of maize,

if you'd observe no specific number of heactres was given this is due to the fact that there's an open room to partners

please note am not saying it's an investment program where you put this to get that, infact if you do not have passion for agriculture it's advisable you stay off,

Proposed land to be cultivated is in Benue State Nigeria, lower Benue basin authority, 2000 heactres of arable land is available, human labourers, tractors, harvesters, etc all available for rent and personal tractors / machines can be brought in too. No Fulani issues, you can sell from the farm or process harvest using one of the numerous factories near by..

I and my team are fully on ground, you can come visit in person, send a representative/ lawyer etc for more facts finding there's no rushing

you can farm with us in two ways by
1. running your farm yourself while we act as supervisors and get paid a fee

2. An agreed percentage of what's cultivated while be yours at harvest..
you tell us how much you willing to put in, all factors are calculated and agreed by all parties, we cultivate everything and at harvest you produce is all yours

3. my number remains 08062429778 call, visit etc you too can be a part of winfarms let's start together

your welcome to call or visit.. it's still open let's do business

Please can someone educate me on which fertilizer to apply to my maize, method of application? I have just planted the maize yesterday, so they are yet to germinate.

Thanks

@ wilybaby,

Please,

1.what's the name of the other herbicide you used with Rooter when you wanted to plant the cassava stems.

Please,

2. What's the application procedure. How many tablespoon scoops to 15 litre of knapsack sprayer.?


You mentioned the other day that the farm was almost 1 ha.

3. Did you eventually use more than 2 sachets of Rooter powder.

northbird:
@ wilybaby, Please, what's the name of the other herbicide you used with Rooter when you wanted to plant the cassava stems.

You can use any paraquat brand like paraeforce, dragon etc.

You can use NPK 15:15:15 or 20:10:10.

Thanks boss.

You may need to look at the numbers again

Depending on the specific gravity a dyna has been calibrated as 3 tons of cassava- that is the rough and dirty estimate

A plot of land in your area is 100ft by 100ft or 30.3 metres by 30.3 metres equals 918.18 sqm and 5 of this is a little higher than 4000sqm meters which translates to an acre

With good practice you can get between 15 and 20 tons of cassava per hectare

So your calculation of 1.5 dyna per plot is 4.5tons per plot and in 5 places gives 22.5 tons per acre and in 2.5 places gives above 56 tons per hectare. This would appear fairly high

You might wish to look at this for further readings

Thanks

HAPPY EASTER everyone, hope you all had a blissful day, now to the answers....

1. Am harvesting, my Cassava June and yes it's easier harvesting during the raining season the soil is soft and wet so pulling the Cassava out of the soil ain't to difficult, now a little bit of crop science Cassava grows in stages and during the dry season the Cassava generally shuts down, the leafs fall off, and growth partially stunts, this is its way of coping with the drought but once the rain resumes even if it's just a rain you see the Cassava in days looking all green with new stems etc this is the cassava taping starch and water from the tubers underneath to help it grow, it's a very bad idea to harvest just after the rains resume even if your Cassava is up to 12months. you can harvest a month or 2 after the rains by this time, your tubers ain't just back to its former size but it's added in size and moisture content...

2.. I think Cassava is of more value after the very first harvest season.

3. An Acre here I will be using 5plots of a 100 by 100 that's how we measure in my locality.. Dyna is here once again, a plot that does "extremely" well can give you 1.5dyna load a Dyna should be able to produce 6 to 10 basins of garri depending on the kind of tuber, moisture content etc. garri production really has no fixed input to out put conversion rate because no variable is constant. time of harvest, variety, peeling, fermentation all this can affect output..

I chose to use Dyna because you really can't run from it esp if your business would be within your location, you can use the example I gave of a plot to calculate an Acre even heactres. I hope I was of help, thank you..
please my bosses can help out more and correct me if possible too

NPK 15 15 15.. would help your maize at its earliest stage then before taselling apply Urea...

Hi, I am interested. What is the estimated cost of clearing, tilling, harrowing and ridging a hectar. Thanks
