Why macropropagated suckers is the preferred suckers among Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire farmers:
- Disease and pest free
- Very long plantation life span
- Rapid and vigorous growth
- Uniformity and synchronized harvest
- Early maturing and huge bunches

The best time agronomicaly to plant plantain is the beginning of the raining season. But it would be harvested during the dry season when plantain is supplus in the market.

The best time for profit is to plant at the middle of the raining season ( June, July and August), the plantains would be harvested when plantains are scare in the market.

You may not have plans to plant plantain this year, but you may have a relative or a friend who does. Don't allow them reduce a ten years investment to a mere two years.

Tell them about macropropagated suckers and they would forever be grateful to you.

Many thanks to all those who have been Calling to make orders and inquiries.

For those who are yet to,

How we ensure our Suckers are pest and disease free:

1. Corms are only selected from healthy looking mother plant.

2. We then wash the corms to remove soil debris that usually harbor soil pathogens.

3. The roots and outer layer ( that are usually infested with parasitic nematodes) are peeled off as yam is peeled till they become completely white.

4. Corms that contains beetle tunnels and discolored corms (which signify that they are diseased) are discarded.

5. The completely white corms are them immersed in a 15% gik solution to kill any remaining pest.

6. The corms are then air dried for 24 hours.

7. Thereafter they are placed in the sterilized environment of the propagators ( having about 100% humidity and 40 c) and multiply 30 folds

People ask, apart from the fact that macropropagated suckers are completely pest and disease free, what other attributes makes it superior to the normal suckers?
The answer is macropropagated suckers are like a miniature adult plantain with well deleveloped shoot ( leaves) and root regions. As a result their plantation establishment is extremely fast as their roots start assimilating nutrient from the soil and their leaves start photosynthesising from the get go.

Dr KWA Moïse The Cameronian Scientist that invented macropopagation Technology. The technology is now adopted in Cameroon, ivory coast, Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria and Carebbian countries. It has been accepted by FAO as a method of producing disease free planting materials .

What IITA and CARBAB say about macropropagated suckers:

" Farmers usually depend on natural regeneration of plantain for the supply of planting materials. This is a very slow process that often produces small numbers of planting materials that are usually contaminated by various soil pathogens such as nematodes and shortens the lifetime of plantation to only one or two cycles of cultivation, beyond which lodging occurs. IITA has developed techniques for the rapid multiplication of healthy planting materials. " IITA Ibadan.

"The cultivation of plantain is underexploited due to the inadequate provision of good quality propagation materials. The negative influence of parasites also leads to the use of poor quality suckers, resulting in growth cycle of only two years. The return on effort put in by farmers is therefore unsatisfactory, leading to further discouragement among plantain growers.
Fortunately, a number of intensive production techniques have been developed, including in vitro cultivation, typically used in research centres and macropropagation using the plantlet from stem fragments." (African Centre for Banana and Plantain Research, Duala Cameron)

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the pleasure of low price have been forgotten- Thomas Ruskin

Planting suckers obtained from old plantain farms transfers plantain weevils (pictures 1&2) and nematodes (pictures 3&4) from the old farm to the new farm.

Plantain is an important staple and a source of income for many farmers. The fact that, plantain fruits throughout the year add to its importance as a food security crop.However, the productivity and lifespan of plantain has drastically reduced due to lack of proper scientific cultivation practices, inadequate high quality seedlings, pest and disease pressures, etc. These problems are escalating because farmers in Sub Saharan Africa use suckers and corms which in most cases are infested with pests and diseases.

In addressing this major challenge, macropropagation technology was developed by International Institute for Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan and the African Center for Banana and Plantain Research, Duala. Macropagation technology eliminates sucker-transmitted pests and diseases.

Advantage of macro propagated suckers:-

- few high yielding cultivals can be rapidly multiplied.

-Seedlings will be free from pests and diseases.

-Can expect uniform growth of the plants and increase in crop yield.

-Early maturity of crop can be expected and maximum use of land is possible.

-With macropropagated suckers, farmers can go for round the year plantation as seedlings available throughout the year.

-Two successive ratoons are possible in a short period which will minimize the cost of cultivation.

-With this macro propagation, no staggered harvesting.

-The productivity of the plants are high where 95% to 99% plants can bear bunches.

watin concern me

Never take a monster for a ride.

I once created a thread that talked about something similar. www.nairaland.com/3634928/5-agricultural-economic-principles-every

"A farmer's income increases when success is achieved at growing a crop in which other farmers had widespread failures"
The truth is not always palatable

The controversial arms procurement deals under the immediate -past administration of Goodluck Jonathan have become a subject of litigation in the United States, where a national of Niger Republic , Hima Aboubakar , and a US arms dealer , Ara Dolarian , are locked in a legal battle involving a $ 246 m contract .

The $ 246 m order at the height of the Boko Haram insurgency in 2014 was for the supply of weapons and equipment , including helicopters, bombs and ammunition .

According to AFP , the deal reportedly collapsed in 2015 and the arms never arrived , forcing Aboubakar to sue Dolarian for fraud in a Californian court .

Aboubakar claimed the US arms dealer failed to ship $ 8 . 6 m worth of bombs and rockets to Nigeria as ordered , damaging his reputation as “ a trusted arms supplier to the Nigerian military ”.

Dolarian , however , alleged in court documents that he was unwittingly caught up in a “ money laundering scheme” and that Aboubakar ’ s arms money was “ stolen from the Nigerian government ” .

Campaign group , Transparency International, described corruption in the defence procurement sector as “ the new diesel for Nigeria ’s kleptocrats ” .

It estimated that more than $ 15 bn had been stolen , “ leaving the military without vital equipment , insufficiently trained , low in morale and under -resourced . ”

“ This has crippled the Nigerian military, ” it added in a new report published on Thursday .
But the Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen . John Enenche , rejected the TI’s report , describing it as “ a sweeping allegation.”
Enenche said the defence ministry now did “ government- to-government ” deals and no longer used contractors.

Pieter Wezeman , a researcher at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, said Dolarian ’ s deal with Aboubakar and his company Societe d ’ Equipments Internationaux “ rings alarm bells” .

Court documents show SEI signed off on the purchase of six Mi- 24 and Mi- 35 helicopters from Dolarian for $ 25 m each , which Wezeman said was far above their normal value of $ 5 m each.

A former National Security Adviser , Col Sambo Dasuki (retd .) , is answering charges for criminal diversion of $ 2 .1 bn arms fund , breach of trust, money laundering and arms possession.

He was accused of orchestrating a sprawling embezzlement scheme that saw “ phantom contracts” awarded for personal and political gains .

Last year , a committee set up by Buhari indicated that SEI played a “ major ” role in the alleged scam after being awarded nearly $ 1 bn worth of contracts “ characterised by irregularity and fraud ” .

Aboubakar , however , told AFP , “ We continue to work with the Nigerian Army. Forget about what the people say ; they lie .”

How do one get regular supply of cassava if one don't have a cassava farm?

A high profile Republican governor has declined to sign into law, a measure that would have made his state the first to ban
child marriage without exception.
Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey and someone who has been a staunch supporter of Donald Trump , said such a ban would conflict with religious customs. He did not specify what religions he was referring to.
Reuters said underage marriage is widespread in the US, where about 170,000 children were wed between 2000 and 2010 in 38 of the 50 states where data was available.

I doubt u cuz he sent a US aircraft carrier which has just reached South Korea. Plus he is installing high tech US made missile defense system in South Korea.

Have you forgotten that Hamas archaic rockets where beating the "high tech" missile defense system the US installed in Israel?

The lessons from North Korea is that you don't have to be able to defeat your enemy, you just have to let your enemy know that you have the capacity to cause him serious harm.

No man would fight with a small child who is an expert in bursting scrotums.

Still about Jonathan again.
This guy is a legend

Even Anini is a legend to some.

To be candid, those that campaigned for Jonathan in the south, made it difficult for the Northern PDP politicians to work for Him.

May God give the president good health. It's good to know that the VP is trusted.

What about Johnson Suleman's Mother?

He was arrested base on logistics.
