Thanks a lot. I am very grateful. You're a very resourceful person. Just that Nigeria never taps into her human potentials


Final question, what quantity of either of the chemicals do I need to coat like 40 kg seeds ? I like to make the right call about the quantity I am meant to purchase

the quantity to use is clearly written on the product.

But I use 250g for 10kg of maize grain.

You can also add dress force from jubaili to the list.

I once used carbendazim(saaf) to protect pepper and tomato seeds, (none germibated)

This were seeds bought in the market, I dont know why the seeds did not germinate

Could it be the fungicide or its just dat i bought dead seeds

It rained while trashing my corn yday, how do i go about getting somebody with dryer ......... no time to spread in d sun and guide it from rain

I will apply same way as you. Thanks for the tip

What qty of water do you add to the 250grams if I may ask ?

half a litre

Good Afternoon betabread,
Sad the seeds didn't germinate after the application of the carb.
But why not try buying pepper and extracting the seeds yourself and allow to dry for 3 days before nursing..
Don't preserve with carb. Try this and let's see how it goes.. will be expecting a feedback. You can try with pepper worth 1k just for trial oooo...

Thanks. I will squarely follow your directives.

I read your comment on Cornforce. Truth is I like to combine with Gu[img][/img]ardForce. I like to enquire please, can you be kind to intimate me with a product that is a dorwct alternative to cornforve that I can combine woth GuardForce/Striker ?

Day 83

Can't really say another company producing herbicide with halosulfuron as the active ingredient except Jubaili.

But I can still advise you to go for post emergence herbicide with a combo of nicosulphuron and atrazin

I should combine GuardForce and Atrazine you mean ?

ActiveFarms:

yes .. it also works.

They are some post emergence of maize that comes with the combo.

Atrazin is also a post emergence of maize.

But it should be applied when the weed is at 3 to 4 leave stage

Should a farmer be worried if after threshing and bagging, and then covered with tarpaulin outdoors overnight into the next day, sweating is observed in the bags. Is there any major cause for worry. What should be done

Maize can only sweat when it is not properly dried.

They need a minimum of 40tons

Farming around them has made me reconsider my philosophy of farming

Off all things i fear in farming, its stolen harvest i fear the most......
Farmers are among the most monitored people in rural communities, if you dont have presence on the farm, you just fed the nation for free.....

Good morning, please how does one have presence on one's farm to prevent stolen harvest?

casualobserver:
This is my problem with agriculture in Nigeria. We keep using toxic pesticides on our food chain that have been banned in other countries.

Atrazine, Paraguay and glysophhates are banned in many countries but they are in widespread use in Nigeria no wonder cancer in on the increase and our exports are banned from entering some countries.

Suggest alternatives to any toxic substances you notice and you can motivate us to make changes. Example I am switching to Ginger, Garlic, Tumeric and Neem Extract to take care of pests and insects

Neem extract yes

But dont go ginger and tumeric unless it has been documented and tried

Dont use ur farm for experiment, no body will emboss u d money lost
