Good day. Nice thread. I want to venture into cassava farming. What's the best specie to plant and what are the necessary process for one to follow. Only cassava no inter-cropping. Thanks

good! If the land is plough able, do plough and ridge if not brush,burn and then heap. Look for this specie, it is called white lion in Ondo state, I don't no what is call in your area, the difference between this specie and tme 419 is white (Both the tuber and the stem) it also perform better in terms of starch and yield. Lastly, make sure it weed Free!

Thanks for your prompt response. I guess this specie is better for garri production. Also how long does this specie stay before harvest.

yes the best! Market women will buy it first before any other ones. It command respect Both in starch mill and market. You can start harvest by 9 month, but I advise 12 month.

Pls can one mix Atrazine with Glyphosate + 2,4d immediately after planting maize?

have applied it once like that, and it worked but atrazine effectiveness was reduced. To me glyphosate +2-4d is okay, all this chemical are expensive.

Any maize project this season.? Please update us. Keep up the good work.

yes this is the best time.

Harvesting is still ongoing... this is the medium am using to transport the cassava (short frame ford) to market women or company. The last one I took to company is 92k why market women are buying at 80k. Problem with company is they will not pay immediately (at least two weeks) why market women are paying immediately. Labourer uprooting,cut, pack and load are collecting 15k why driver collect 20k per full load. I will attach company receipt soon...

Farmerakinloye6:

Thanks a bunch
How about the force up chemical, is it good on both cassava and maize farm?

force up is systemic herbicide, which you will spray during preparation of your farm land, of course it is good. It only that oba supa I don't like, the germination is rapid but take longer to mature, it will bring two cob but will not be big. I only like it red color. To me the seed does not worth the price.

Before planting, I should spray the chemicals?

It depends on how you want to prepare your farmland. If it is brushing, packing and burning, there is know need to glyphosate, but if you want to spray and heap no problems too.

OP can you please do a detailed calculation for your profit at the end of your harvest. It will be well appreciated

Hello sir @ Farmer Akinloye, please how can I get your maize specie, I need it, though I'm presently in Ekiti, and if Ekiti isn't possible I can send someone for that in Akure if it'll be available there, please I wanna buy

let me say, I cut like 700 (least) bundle of cassava stem on one hectare at #500 per bundle, that is #350k on an hectare for just stem. Do you think I can spend 350k on maize and cassava from land preparation to harvesting? Right now I have more than 5,000 bundle stem (contract) I want to supply which I can not even get from my farm.
