Hi Guys, good morning to you and I trust this post finds you well ? Recall when I was looking for land for farming earlier this year: https://www.nairaland.com/8321639/need-farm-land-kuje-abuja Well I finally got one and planted corn and groundnut on the farm. Overall it was a tedious process but I was able to harvest about 1.5 tons of corn from my farm and I would be sharing pictures with you the Nairaland team to encourage all of you guys to go into farming Overall the start to finish was: clearing of the farm, making of ridges, grammasol application, fall army worm pesticide application, fertilizer application 6 bags for 1 hectare, selective herbicide application, weeding and finally harvest I listed them out like this because I discovered I don’t have pictures of some processes Photo Collection 1: Planting, Gramasol Application, Photo of Fall Army Worms Attack cc: lalasticlala, seun, onira, mynd44, farano

Nice one... Looks good. I did 3 acres of maize and okra. Fulani herdsmen with their cattle ate up everything one not so good day. The only thing they left was the okra which didn't do well because of lack of attention. I lacked motivation to even continue with the okra. The maize was just few months to harvest! |

Well-done, More grease to your elbows... Please I will like to know, at 1.5 tonnes how many hectares were you able to cultivate? What do you have to say about the output in relation to the worms attack? What would you do differently next time? |

amah4game:Thanks for your questions, yes the output dropped by o.2 tonnes due to fall army worms infestation. I would plant a bit late when rainfall is heavy and also ensure good road access I cultivated on about 2 hectares |
