I use chemical to weed... Gallant super for post emergence

You are doing well OP. Following with keen interest, great and educative thread. I am 100% novice in sesame arena. I have lots of questions to ask you.
1. What is the avg weight of the bag that sells for 150k?
2. Someone mentioned grade 1 sesame, what is the yardstick for the grading? Or how do you ensure your produce comes out with good grade?
3. Is it also used in preparing soup like Egusi?
4. How is it harvested?.
5. Does it also need peeling/de-husking like melon/rice?

Let them stay in their city and not come and spoil market for us that have soji o. Àbí which kine thread be this?

Lol. U are not nice at all.

GideonOludayomi:
This is for many people in Lagos. Even though I understand that farming is no longer an alternative option and can't just be dabbled into. I sincerely pity many who live in Lagos, working like a jackal and living like rats and cockroaches when they have lands at 'home' being taken over by strangers.
Granted, there is money in the city but then what is the profit of chasing a money that can't even help you build a home that you can retire to without money problems after working yourself out for years?
I just hope many people wake up soon.

Are u Mr J from EMR, WWW.

Is it too hard for you to share what you know in the public domain for others to learn? Must everything be monetized Mr consultant?

emmaodet:
I am planting maize now and early September.
Go for sammaz 27. 75 days maturity
Rain will still be available till mid November in southwest so it is safe

I will agree with planting till early Sept, but will not agree with the bolded. Beyond Sept 10 is not safe to plant.
We had a little disappointment from a tractor oprator that made us to plant our corn Sept 15 last year in SW. It did not do well cos there was no single rain in Nov. We managed to get scanty rain in Oct. Though we did not run at loss, the yield was below expectations despite planting drought resistant hybrid.

Thanks; One time premergence chemical weed control using contact herbicide . Two times manual weeding with hoe at 4 weeks and 8 weeks.

You really tried man. 2 times manual weeding of 15 acres of veggies is not cost effective. In my area labourers charge almost 20k per acre.
There are some pre emergence herbicides that are veggie friendly that u can mix with that your contact herbicide that will reduce your manual weeding to one time. You can lay your hands on products that contain either pendimethalin or Metholachlor as a.i. If you are not comfortable using them, u may experiment with one or two plots of the whole portion of the farm and compare with your usual method. if you spray well, esp on a moist soil , u will definitely see the diff.

Tohsynetita1:
nothing than regular weeding, either mechanical, cultural

He said it's 15 acres. if you have farmed up to 1 acre before, you will not be be mentioning those methods.

shariff84:
they can only drop for you @ ore junction.

why dropping at Ore when trucks going to Ore will need to pass through Ife first, i have received order from ore truck before or are they not taking ife route again?

Dadadididacontr:
It the first harvest from different varieties of crops on my 15 acres farm.
The output is encouraging despite inconsistent water supply.
The best bet is irrigation system which is in progress.

This is the second truck load trip to market

Nice one , your farm looks neat and weed-free. most melon farm i had visited always are always full of weeds, it appears farmers find it hard to control weed once the vines start tangling. will you mind sharing how you manage to control your weed on that large acreage.?

Redomi:
I love this, I just wanted to go into pepper farming with 2000 stand. I just did the nursery last week, I couldn't afford hybrid pepper price, I bought from a friend that have hybrid pepper and wanted to try the first generation

You mean you bought the seed extracted from the hybrid fruit? if yes, the seed has become 2nd generation (F2) and not first generation. hybrid seed are called first generation (F1).

Olurashy:
Yeah.... 51k for 1000 seeds

i did not notice this your post before i dropped my last post up there. At 51k, your vendor is still considerate, most vendor sell between 55k to 60k.

lereinter:
Nirit habanero

Expensive but very productive

Yea, that is the reason i saluted the courage of the guy cos majority of our markets dont appreciate the value. just like he has rightly buttressed. imagine a farmer buying a product of 1000 seed counts(which is less than 10g) @N55k/N60k and another farmer buying hybrid say avenir, 50g @N50k/N55k, at the end of the harvests, buyers want to buy at same rate from them... this is worrisome. Also, if farmer "A" want to plant like one acre, meaning he will need to buy like 5 packs of the 1k seed count amounting to almost N300,000.

Olurashy:
Spicy super habanero is now available. It is affordable and we sell per kg. Our farm is located at kobape, but we can send to anywhere in the country. To order, you can call or WhatsApp me on 08165394740. Thanks

Healthy plants and good fruits you have there. why not move your pepper to market instead of selling in bit/per kg, this is a perishable goods bro and you are surrounded by lots of markets like ibadan, abeokuta, sango and the rest. pepper is currently hot cake cos northern supply is diminishing and south pepper will start hitting markets fully by june.
how many stands give you this harvest? i have about 4k stands but still at the fruiting stage. you get mind for this your variety sha, israeli products and price hike... i feel 1k seed @around N60k is outrageous.
