Climate change is real folks, plan properly before planting especially if you ain't irrigating, a neighbour will have to replant his seeds for the second time.. may like August seems to now have a break...
God help us All

Cassava farming is the hot cake right now. a basin is currently 15k in my location ( Benin ), I did like 4 acres this year before leaving for Lagos. lol. by next year I plan on doing 8 to 10 acres. to my experience, the best time to plant cassava is after August break, you won't clear much And cassava is much resistant to drought. if you like big tubers, give enough space in your farm, if you like tiny tiny tubers, plant closely. the stress in cassava is the processing lol. that shit should be done by prisoners but hey, I'm a prisoner of money so I'll do it. lol. nice harvest man, on paper it's easy, na who don go know wetn he see.

Lol at "should be done by prisoners".
When you're used to it, it won't be so difficult anymore. Also, try mechanization. It safes a lot of time and stress.

hahahaha your so spot on, processing to garri can kill a person it's not easy at all

Happy Sunday folks sorry for the break in transmission.. the rain is finally here so we've been at the farm..

Farm15 is done and dusted.
Farm25 the harvest was bountiful.. God's grace and hardwork pays well especially if you made above triple of your investment..

Below are a little pictures of what WinFarms has been up to..

Well-done bro....work on the variety and your management practises ..These tubers are too tiny. You getting a Keke load from 400 heaps is not okay.Here farmers do get a full pick up(locally called ponpon) from 600 -700 heaps.I am a cassava farmer

your quite right, if you followed d thread from the beginning you'd see I mentioned it that a mistake was made in farm15 spacing between the heaps wasn't adequate, d labourers took advantage because I wasn't available farm25 was amazing, I'd be posting pictures of what we harvested from there soon

last month I did 4 basins in a day, and I tell you I don't need a doctor to advise me never to try it again..

And with this our thread comes to an end, thank you all for being part of this amazing journey, alot was learnt and shared here, it's my desire in years and years to come the future young ones would stumble upon this thread and be inspired, learn a thing or two even thought agriculture by then would be more advanced

Nairaland a home away from home, a school away from school, a farm away from a farm, lol I am still tapping from this beautiful nairaland so I will never stop giving back.. a young farmer is still on the move and your all invited, let the fun, learning, sharing continue...

if d Cassava plant has above a stem no much damage in cutting one off since you will be harvesting soon, based on low yield but cutting off all the stems ain't advisable

Above the stem how? I don't really understand your explanation. Pls can u rephrase your write-up thanks

[quote author=josh6633 post=103545882]

he meant that, if u have a cassava with more than one stem on a heap(say 3), you can cut two of it and leave 1 to continue germinating. but will be ditrastrous if u cut all the 3stem.

[quote author=Onisolasamuel post=103546046][/quote]
Ok. Understood

josh6633:


Above the stem how? I don't really understand your explanation. Pls can u rephrase your write-up thanks

has above a stem that is more than one stem you can cut the extra and plant, I don't advise cutting off the whole stem I feel this will overly stress the plant, and may cause shrinkage of tuber or even rot

Good one ,hope to locate you when i come to benue by November, i have cassava farm at adoka obena
