trilacos:
how much would it cost to start?probably a rough estimate.thanks

follow the thread from page 1 to 5 you will find your answers

zuxstine:
There is this farmer around my neighborhood he is good at cucumber and watermelon � farming. But he does not share the knowledge, if he helps you to buy seed he normally removes the label so you won't get to know the brand of seed he bought. So how can one get a good seed

Getting good seeds is not rocket science you can always get them from agro chemical shops but if you don't mind i can source them for you

zuxstine:
I learnt that source of seed matters alot as well as treating the seed before planting. I will like to know the name of the seed u have been using as well as chemical used in treating the seed.
Secondly is it cost effective using drip irrigation, if yes which products last longer from experience

follow the thread from page one you will see the answers to your first question.No.2.Drip irrigation is cost effective but the best the drip tapes always expires after 16 months due to heat from the run

Bro, please let's talk about groundnut.
Do you use hybrid seeds or local?
How many kilos of seeds do you use per hectare?
And what is your harvest rate per hectare?

I use local seeds i usually plant one and a half basin of shelled seeds per hectare and in places like ekiti the yield always ranges from 3 to 4.5 tons per hectare

Almost everything that is planted in the north west and north east can also be planted in the south west.

Thanks for this succinct analysis.
Two questions please

1.How did you control your weeds? - Manual, mechanical or chemical control

2. What is the difference between the insecticides you bought at N4,500 each and the imiforce you bought at N400 each? - price differentials appears to be high
