Emmah123:From my years of doing soil test from the south west Nigeria I have come across lot of sandy loam soil The best emendment for your soil are 1. Application of fertilizer (either organic or inorganic) in a priscribed Qty at the right time using the best application method 2. Observing Agricultural practice like a. Shifting cultivation b. Leaving your farm land to fallow c. Planting crop that are runner or known as Capet which are known to prevent leaching and erosion that wash away nutrient d. Crop rotation All these practice has long run positive effect in soil management However, to achieve maximum amendment, it important you have idea of your soil fertility by hiring us to carry out a soil fertility test on your soil....... |
A soil’s ability to react with positively charged molecules is called it’s cation exchange capacity (CEC). The higher the CEC, the higher the negative charge of the soil and the more cations that can be held. The most common soil cations are: calcium, magnesium, potassium, ammonium, hydrogen and sodium. Generally soils with more clay silt and organic matter have a higher CEC and the CEC decreases with increased sand content. The most basic thing to remember is CEC indicates how well your soil will hold onto anything, including nutrients and water. Below are some practical implications of your soil’s Cation Exchange Capacity: Low CEC soils need quick but frequent watering, while high CEC soils need slow water applied less often. When applying fertilizers and soil conditioners to low CEC soil, it is best to apply a little at a time to avoid the risk of leaching them through the soil and into ground water. When applying nutrients to high CEC soils it is best to incorporate them, if they are placed on the surface they are more prone to run-off due to the slow infiltration rate. The lower the CEC of a soil, the faster the soil pH will decrease with time. Soils with a low CEC are more likely to develop deficiencies in calcium, potassium & magnesium. Because they are resistant to leaching, high-CEC soils generally do not need to be limed as frequently as low-CEC soils; but when they do become acid and require liming, higher lime rates are needed to reach optimum pH. It only a reliable soil fertility testing that can reveal the CEC value of your farm soil. The implication of this is that to make a concise and logical decision on your farm crop/soil management, you need to have adequate knowledge of the farm soil fertility |

Soil structure: Soil structure is the ability of the soil to be stable in structure that is, to fighting or binding together of all materials that make up the soil structure. One of the materials is humic acid that is present in organic matter. A soil sample which is dark colouration is an indication of organic matter content. This will help the soil sample to retain their nutrients most importantly macronutrient (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) and available for plant uptake and this will lead to good yield. |
The following conditions and more necessitates the need for soil analysis of that farm land 1. A newly acquired farm land 2. A land you have been putting to use for over 3yrs 3. A land with poor yeild 4. A land with a soil suspected to be having soil for building construction 5. A land expose to direct sunlight for years and prone to erosion |
How is the rain in your farm area Seem the rain has taken s break |
Remember, a farmer do not have to blame his tools when his harvest is poor.....but put the Blame on your "kobo wise Dollas foolish" decisions and policies you made Do it differently this season by 1. Testing that soil 2. Buying our hybrid treated sucker 3. Getting as much direction you need from expect And bumper harvest is yours Cheers!!

Land preparation for a client. Application of herbicide + pesticide to the farm before planting. Importance of this operation 1. The sucker will be sure of weed free at least for 1month after planting which will prevent them from competition at their critical stage 2. The operation will ensure the suckers get enough water and sunlight since the soil is exposed So if you have cleared that farm land and burn, next step is application of herbicide.

dreamwords:Brotherly u just made me laugh out today stress ![]() Hilarious post though, but with a messg |
Athena4:U just spoke my mind ![]() I just taya for d guy ![]() |
If you are applying contact herbicide on your farm, be sure if the dilution formulae which often time depends on the how fertile or how degraded the farm soil is. So obviously lots of decision to be taken on your farm depends on the nutrient content of the soil We did a soil analysis on the field we are applying herbicide and this gave us clue as to the dilution factor we can adopt. |
What a life ![]() What some folks has spent and some still spending a fotune to get.....so sad |
Such a wicked world ![]() |
Keep your dream to yourself...

It time to cultivate that farm land that is left idle for years. Kenfarm perform preplanting operations in a client farm today in preparation for the planting of our hybrid suckers. Do you know it best to mix contact herbicide with atrazin powder While the liquid herbicide act on the leaf and surface root and atrzpazin will act on the weed seed.Also, do you know it not economically wise to apply systemic herbicide now that the rain is falling every day? Why? Check our blog Do you also know that it is not a good practice to mix systemic herbicide with atrazin? Why check our blog Seeking for information is the way to achieve bountiful harvest, save cost and save time Seek for info from the right source!!

Dirtydog:Where is the location and what type of cassava did you plant?? |
A visit to our TME419 farm today........picture attached... In no distance time, we would be harvesting the entire farm, process into yellow garri for exporting to UK and sales locally.,....will keep yul posted

Cluster driving is the cause of multiple accident....y drive bumper to bumper on a high speed....it crazy how some psychotic driver use Nigerian road that is not even car worthy |
This mumu geh for just take advantage of her dacing skill join all these musician wey dey use gehs dance.....since she was know for dancing in d house.......my Q is what do all dis bbnaija whatever folks do for a living? |
Whether you will be satisfy or dissatisfy on your harvesting day depends on your choice of suckers.....this follow the saying that what you plant is what you harvest.....make a wise choice by calling kenfarm for your genetically engineered suckers suitable for the tropical region. Do it differently this time and expect a positive different out come. Contact us via our customer care line on my signature |
We lost close to 100 stands of sucker already attained puberty in our experimental farm .....it a natural desaster we have no full control of. Deforestation is beginning to expose the Ecosystem and there is need to plant any tree you fall in that bush. The lose of the sucker is nothing to worry about as regeneration already increase as soon as the parent sucker is out of the way. No more broads carnation!!!!! The time to order for tour hybrid sucker and cultivate that idle land is now!!! |
Observation: many has opted out of cassava Biz because it is no more profitable. But the secrete is the result of many farmer opting out of Cassava is scarcity in the end of next season. Hence take advantage of the looming cassava boom and place order for our hybrid TME419 stem available at any Qty......information is power |
Treated hybrid sucker available for delivery |
tjadeniyi:Really appreciate yur feedback |
