Nope ooo.

This is for side placing.

Fertigatiom is every 2 weeks.

Spraying Potassium Nitrate, Calcium Sulphate and Magnesium Sulphate works better than fertigating them.

Spray Calcium and Magnesium from week one and Magnesium from week Three

Your plants are looking very healthy sir. Congrats.

But this your bagging style is still shocking me . grin Honestly.

Please sir, if you don't mind me asking some questions,

1. Please what's your plant population that gave you this nice harvest?

2. Is it pig manure.

3. Which fertilizers are you using for the project?

Mine is about to commence. Rain fed.
Any advice is welcomed sir

Unfortunately, I'm yet to count the plant population but I have that in mine.

Initially I used pig manure in the planting holes and every week or so I side dress with chicken manure.

Fertilizer is 20 10 10.

Timely fertilizer application is very important. I apply weekly at 30ml per plant. Pest control and watering too.

growing process is thesame. I planted the one am harvesting now on 14/3/2023 why the young on the 10/4/2023. The only difference from the previous years is foliar (once in a week) fertilizer I introduce, apart from npk 15:15:15: which I use like three times.

Alright. Thanks

So sir, how is your experience with pig manure?
Did you still use the quantity of half herbicide container per plant?

Because it's what I used. Also added little quantity of chicken manure though.

Just one heavy rain to soak down the manure, and then, the journey begins.

What variety did you plant?

Good and ( free) cheap. Yes that is what am using at moment. Always make sure your manure is at least (completely dry and free of maggots) a month, but I prefer 6 month -1 year own. Always mix after you apply it, manure that is not dry completely can harm/kill plant. Between I sold 8k flat today.

Thanks a lot.

The pig manure I got was super dry and light in weight. I belt it should be more than a year . It has almost 0% water retention capacity on it's own.
Unlike chicken manure that gets heavy and extremely soggy after rain,

The pile pig manure in my farm no even no say rain dey fall.
