I will be going with agrovert 20:20:20 has a balanced fertilizer as Okro grows while still producing pods hence needs every nutrients required to boost growth and flowering. |

I learnt from a cucumber farmer that they boost their yield by applying nutrients back to the plant through basal or foliar spray after every harvest, so I’m thinking of doing a trial on that and apply foliar fertilizer after every 3 harvests. Will keep you posted on my results stay tuned !! |

Having the right knowledge with the right team goes a long way in sheep farming and animal husbandry in general. I have been fortunate to be on this journey and I will preserve no matter the adversity. Thank you all for being part of the journey, we move 3 Likes |

Animal husbandry is sustainable and can create wealth irrespective of which you do. I chose sheep for my own personal reasons, my environment and opportunities around my farm. Sincerely I haven’t regretted it a bit. The journey is stressful and not for the faint hearted but it keeps my dream of one day getting out of the rat race alive. For a 28 year old man I’m doing fine 2 Likes |

Hello everyone!!! I believe this message met you well, Nigeria is in good crisis and those that took the right steps before now are hoping for the best. I never thought I was wealthy until I took some rams to the popular Kara market in my axis (iwo) and I cashed out big time with many more still on the farm. 2 Likes |

Okro planted on the 10th of February, it was pre-germinated by soaking in water for 12hours to speed up the germination process. This helps in uniform seed germination 1 Like |

Start getting prepared for the next year planting season. Get your seeds and other chemicals(both insecticide most especially IMIDACLOPRID and herbicides) ready. |

Good management (both insect especially whiteflies and weeds that accommodate them)practices can really help with the virus |

From my personal experience the okra leaf curl mosaic virus is still out there ravaging many farms and making dry season Okro farming very difficult this year. I sense a high scarcity of Okro by January next year guys. Happy New Month |

willybaby: Thank you my brother, farming really can be funny sometimes you might have all the right things but it’s some unexpected factor e.g rain especially might mess everything up. We just don’t give up here sha, we go again and again with every new experience we have gathered through the years consistently . 1 Like |

safarifarms: The main difference is the composition. Salt lick contains only sodium chloride while mineral lick contains all the major minerals needed by an animal to function properly hence while it’s more expensive and effective. |

The cause of the swollen head is a worm called lungworm[/b]and the name of the condition is called [b]bottle jaw. You can read more on it. Treatment is by giving fast contact dewormer like levamisole and isolating the animal. I also gave iron dextran has the lower eyelid is already pale. 1 Like |
