Optimization of productivity is a considerable factor as far as achieving food securty in Nigeria is involved. There are two tenets that are important in order to realize success in the enhancement of maize productivity.


In every case, it is important to use the appropriate type of seed. The climate change caused the right seed variety namely the drought resistance seeds.


Always follow the good Agronomic practices.

This research is aimed at verifying the potential of yield of Seedco SC719



The yield is also significant to the Maize population. It is because of this reason that the right quantity of seeds are to be planted rather than quality seeds.


My target is between 2.5 and 3 tons per acre. To achieve this objective, one must plant atleast 8.5 KG.


With a planter, planting precision can be achieved, however, in it's absence, if you are to cultivate manually, always have this calculation in mind :


One Acre = 4,000 sqm.


4,000/0.75 x Y = 21,333 plants. If you use a calculator or pen and paper, you would come to this spacing calibration :


0.75 x 0.50 = 2 Seeds per hole


I ensure the workers planted using two seeds per hole, sometimes, three seeds. This leaves the allowance of 5-15% mortality. In case 5-15 of the seeds fail to sprout, then the resultant effect would be that I will get 17,000 - 19,000 successfully growing plants per acre.


More Arithmethic :



When you have say 20,000 stands of maize in ur farm, and then one maize cob will weigh 350g when Agronomic practice is done well. Following shelling it can decrease to 250g.




Farming is a business that is extremely difficult to get into, but when you get into it right, then you will become UNSTOPPABLE



Agricultural projects should not wait, quit procrastinating and start now !

This initiative is quite impressive. Well done, Op.

id4sho:
What's the spacing between each hole?
I just planted my Maize Corn on Friday 🤷

Agriculture is easy if money is involved, all this herbicide, pesticide is not cheap I'm a living testimony, it's when I enter into farming I realized the reason why local farm product are costly than foreign food...

I don't get it. Do you mean planting maize in June and harvest in October? That's a whopping four months. I harvest my maize in 60-80 days, although it's just a small farm. I'm eagerly following this thread. I want to learn more.

When I open the thread and I read some of your post, I fell in love with what you are doing, I love farming especially maize farming. I travel to iseyin to purchase about 10 acres then, I did very well for about 2 years, towards the end of buhari regime, Fulani people became very dangerous, twice my farm was encroached on, and they pay dearly for it , Subsequently I begin to sense danger , when stories of how farmers are abducted some times even killed. Sold of the land and headed back home. I hope Fulani people are not around that area because they can ruin people investment.

sunnyg12:
May God bless your hustle.you didn't tell us your location.

Dogalmighty17:
No be your legs be the problem. Na the tire wey you carry sew shoe dey shock me. Whatever happened to actual protective wear? The terrain you operate in looks like somewhere snakes reside in so why leave your feet unprotected?

Banters aside, in your 3rd posting, you talked about how absence of rainfall is worsening. Some sections of the country are only just beginning to experience rainfall. Are you saying the rains will cease early this year?

Sp33i:
Let's be kind to one another. Don't you think your comment is extreme ? How is this am old thread when i clearly indicated its a June 2025 project

Dayotheeone:
As someone actively involved in agriculture, I find this really interesting and engaging.
Well done.

Sp33i:
Can you imagine that i interrogated a security man that works around the farm this project is setup and i asked him how come such a good land is unused. He said for the past four years the land was unfarmed because people did not have interest in farming.


Please push this thread to the FrontPage let's encourage more and more youths to take up agriculture.


Also, this thread will help inform farmers the way to go about Farming maize in June
