One of the secret to making good profit in maize farming is the plant population. Personally, I don't advise Intercropping maize with cassava. If you want to make money from maize farming, then plant it alone. But you will be planting up to three times in a year without irrigation and up to 5 times with irrigation

The seed planter comes in two different forms

Single chamber
Double Chambers

The single chamber comes with a seed chamber only

A double chamber comes with both seed chamber and fertilzer chamber. Using a double chamber implies that as you are planting, you are applying fertilzer at the same time

Looks like you are an emotional person. Well, my apologies. My brother/sister, it is all about improvement. Why will I want to rubbish your points and opinions? Of course, I don't do that.

You are not alone in experiencing people rubbing it (you rendering help and voicing out your opinions) at ones face. I get it like minimum of once a month. But this past week has been crazy. lol. From asking me to prove my case to demanding me that I must create time (not 1 person)...bla bla bla. So, if you feel offended, please forgive me.

Usually, I don't jump into threads, but when I see a well organised, brilliant, and intelligent person, I cannot resist rubbing minds with the fellow. But you gat some toughness in you. Really, you do, cos you still dished out the info cos you know what you are saying. However, I have proved my cases at times, dropped it, and accepted to look into my opponents'. And I have returned on some occasions to give feedback that my opponents' idea seems to outweigh mine.

If I believe you at your words without analysis, how can we improve? Don't get me wrong. Just like you, I feel I have no one to question my style since I am not feeding under anyone. But really, I check myself many times also.

Once again, do not feel too bad about the first person's comment, and mine. Not meant to attack you. Infact, you should ask your opponents what they saw, and why they chose the opposite of your believe. That's real discussion. You then may want to ask about their methodologies. I do it many times. From this, I might spot a new way of doing it better. May even not necessarily be that you will do fresh maize, but you might get tricks to improve dried maize production.

Lastly, anyone who holds information firmly cannot receive. This has been a secret that has been shooting me to higher places. As you release, much more come your way. Even people who hold back will sneak to your door and share privately. It pays more to share than to hold on to. Trust me. And the evidence is in social media, digital marketers have realised that free flow and sharing of information is real marketing. And when you share, be ready to receive punches on your face, it is you who will find a strategy of using everything (the good, bad, beautiful, and ugly) to your advantage.


Now, I hope you don't mind the comments of mine about your yield. I think it is low. See, a fresh maize farmer knows that grains on his cobs must be filled to get good deal. So, he does everything possible not to have scanty grains on the cobs. But for the farmer who sells dried, he cares about the total grains. Also, the more the cobs and grains, the more the yield. The standard population for maize is around 53,000 to 60,000 per ha. And pop corn variety is even higher. When you get into sweet corn farming, then, you understand me well. Just watch vegetables farmers who dive into sweet corn production. They are master if fresh maize production. Hope you get me. I think you should aim at minimum of 7 tons per hectare, and 10 to 13 tons is possible. As long as the seed has the potential, it can do it. The issue is that one must remove all hindrances and hurdles to make it possible. You may need to try another variety which might give more yield. I am not criticizing you. But if you are contented with 3 tons, then, who am I to convince or confuse you? My apologies if you find my comments offenssive. But I am sure OP gat it. And I am sure she will get to the secrets of getting high populstion. But she has even already shared it. lol.

It is all well. Have a nice day bro/sister.

Happy birthday sir, you just stumbled upon the right thread for maize

Inspectahdeck:
I shared a picture of the spacing below. I use labour but monitor closely. I am very sure it is not more than 1 -1.5mx2m

I use premier seed oba super 1. You can check the expected yield per hectare. From experience this hybrid resist army worm attack. This is an on the field experience. I used solo yellow maize last year dry season to complete the remaining portion of my farm. The solo was attack and I had to spray pesticides but the hybrid was also attacked but when rain started the army worm disappeared. Also, the hybrid is drought resistant.

I prepare my land well then plant. After a month or so I weed manually and once the maize is up they cover the weed and limit its growth. Then I apply selective herbicide a month to harvest. I always clear any Bush at least 3-4m away from my farm to avoid antelopes etc from invading. At the other side I constructed ropes so I get to take Bush meat home.

It is difficult to spray herbicide when the maize is young, it may affect it. That is way I wait for it to grow well. Also, very important maize and broad leaves weed are the same. Using herbicide that kills the formal may also kill the latter.

You can spray herbicide glyphosate before planting. It was reviewed that the danger is minimal. As seen in the picture below.

I think your question was directed at the op but I think I shared my experience.

Then the world would have to rotate anti-clockwise.

Typical ignorant, arrogant 9ja FOOL!

AmazingELixir:
Hmmm

I hope Ihedioha didn't contest the governorship position for the sake of vendetta..Rochas Okorocha has his shortcomings no doubt but mehn give the guy a break how much more can a single person take....Efcc is on one side hounding him, INEC withholding his return certificate on the other side, Ihedioha poking him from under and El Rufai/ Oshomole launching their attack from the top.

It's well..

You can't be asking low IQ people to help with a survey for youe friend. People with low IQ don't understand the purpose or idea of a survey, however, you can take this to Quora, where everyone there has average to high IQ and seek their input

What's wrong with us in this country sef?? How can we praying for a suspected fraudster..instead of everyone to ask that the right thing be done, if he is clean freedom should be his and if not punishment should follow...how can people be calling defrauding another person mistake?? We all cry for a better country but when a thief is caught, we ask for forgiveness, when a corrupt politician is caught we go tribal, when a yahoo guy is caught we go same way...we are always the one that goes to police station to bail our friends/families that goes against the law and then turn back to castigate the country as being bad..this guy naira Marley is suppose to be a role model to other and his action should portray so and any deviation should receive an hammer from us

Buhari never promised anyone president.
It was Boss Mustapha who went about using it to campaign just to win votes from the east.
On the other hand, Fashola and Osibanjo campaigned in the south west with assurances that the region will definitely produce the next president if the Yorubas vote for Buhari.
Again, Buhari didn't make that promise to anyone.
Come to think of it: why would he even make that promise when it took a merger of his CPC with other parties to become president after three failed attempts?
Please let's be objective with our criticisms

NPComplete:
He is the interim champion because the champion's out sick.
A lot of people still believe Izzy is a hype though because he couldn't finish Gastelum despite his significant height and reach advantage and Gastelum is like the 4th ranked Middleweight fighter. But at least with this fight he has proven he is a top 5 contender at the very least.
I will like to see how he does against the likes of Whitaker, Yoel Romero and Luke Rockhold in this 185lb division before I actually decide about him.

For now he should shut up about Jon Jones and focus on acquiring some grappling skills. Jon Jones will maul him judging by his recent performance against Silva and Gastelum.

RichBoy247:
Avoid Saraki's troubles. Throughout the four years that Saraki usurped the Senate Presidency, Saraki never slept with any of his eyes closed. Both of his eyes were opened always even when he was sleeping. It was four years of troubles, different court cases, police harassment, DSS invasion, fellow Senators revote, always one trouble or the other. Why go through all the trouble when you can respect the party's position and be in peace with everybody? At the end of the day, Saraki is not returning to the Senate and his puppet too did not win the governorship, not even one Assembly seat was won by Saraki group. Ndume, be warned.

EMMAACHILE:
Papaya was only a trial. Its still producing in my house but lost new fruits since nobody was around to water them in february. For those who want to go for full commercial papaya production, i say go for bigger fruits variety as the market prefers them. Currently in Lokoja, it goes for N3500 for a dozen fruits (medium to large size).

My moringa seeds should be in Nigeria this week or next.

N84.6m Fraud: EFCC Arrests Fugitive Owner of Enugu Wonder Bank, KSLEY Mega Vision

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Enugu zonal office has arrested Kingsley Amechi Ubenyi, the operator of a defunct Enugu-based Wonder Bank, KSLEY Mega Vision who is standing trial on alleged illegal operation of a financial institution and obtaining the sum N84,600,000 (Eighty Four Million, Six Hundred Thousand Naira) from hundreds of his victims.

Ubenyi’s arrest on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, followed a bench warrant issued by Justice A.M. Liman of the Federal High Court, Enugu and upheld on March 28, 2019 by Justice I.N. Buba who took over the case having noticed that Ubenyi had yet to appear in court and had through his lawyer, John Bigwan, brought a medical report purportedly from Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, G.R.A. seeking leave for his continued absence in court to answer for his alleged crime.
