because of demand, this thread had to come up.

note that majority of irrigation matetials are imports and the exchange rate affect its cost. objectivity and practicality/reality should be put into consideration by the intrested farmer.

i noticed that many people thrive on lies and enjoy deceit alot. computer or internet farming is very far from practical agriculture and many dont care to understand. many factors are involved in agric production which if not carefully planned and budgetted for can bring grave effect to the whole venture.

irrigation is supplying water to plants in required quantity per location, per time.
in planning irrigation, the following are factors to consider:
soil texture
water availability
water table
soil structure
topography
drainage
crop to be planted
vegetation and others that may erupt with peculiar locations.

all interested farmers should note this, i am based in akure, nigeria and your location is not a barrier but you have to be reasonable and look into yoyr budget before requesting for my services. you cant invite me to lagos for lets say a " mini irrigation set up or repair work" and when after finishing your work satisfactorily and you change your voice, agreement and look and start begging me with lower service charge giving several excuses why you dont have up to that again. this is bad experience i dont want to repeat itself again as it used to. i decide not to say the city where this practice is common.

the beauty of my work is, i use locally available close substitutes to achieve success in my works. it all boils down to thinking wide.

keep the talks and calls coming in and lets do business.

Sincerely,

Good afternoon. I want to know the best irrigation (sprinkler or dip) for plantain plantation of about 8 ha.

It depends on your budget. Your pocket.

Sprinkler is cheaper than drip.

If you use drip, it is advisable that you also use mulch film. But you will need less labour when using drip than sprinkler because of weed growth

Nigerian weather is unpredictable because of green house effect.

This may either make or mare your enterprise.

The wise think of how to manage the situation and the cool hearted only complain and talk about it.

Irrigation is the way to go now.

Yes, most of it is completely out of the reach of the common naija farmer but there are ways around it now.

Wise farmers now buy inevitable parts of the irrigation and use local available materials to complement and run the irrigation effectively.

I spoke with a couple of my colleagues that import and sell irrigation materials and we have reached a conclusion on how to help intending irrigation lovers with shalow pockets.

N100,000 can set up a mini sprinkler/drip irrigation on a 1 plot of land and. This include:

One role of 8mm, 1000m drip tape/ 36 peg sprinklers

1 5.5hp 3" hose gasolene water pump

Some local connecting pvc pipes and locally available connector substitutes.

Excluding:

Water source: well, borehole, stream, lake, brook...

Service charge.

The customer can buy the materials by themselves incase of doubt, fear or mistrust.

I am the irrigation technician that makes everything work and it's funny I lost my pictures to my hard disk crash some months back. # that's bad for business now# #laughs#

I can bring you back to all year round crop production if you are painstaking enough to set up your irrigation now.

While others groan, grin or are grounded, you grow and gather your harvest and ganner your gains.

Think about it.

God bless your hustle.

Sincerely,

Pls what will be the best type of irrigation to irrigate a 200plots of land, considering cost. Water source will be borehole. The land will be use for plantain n vegetables. Waiting for ur reply

Are there local.tufts growers in Nigeria now? It seems like a great business in country where a lot of lawns manicuring and pavings are the future if our surroundings are ever going to make sense.

The best irrigation is drip irrigation system where the plants get water droplets directly to their roots. The major constraints is money. It's expensive for a normal Nigerian farmer. These materials are imported and the exchange rate greatly affects it.

Many Nigerian famers have been calling me and other people in the irrigation sector of a probable way to dance around this cost and still have a good or similar output. That was when I introduced them to buying drip tapes alone and I use pvc and other plumbing materials to run it conveniently. Even the drip tapes are expensive #thouthful#. Just imagine some farmers had to pay school fees last month and the crops are failing. I was overwhelmed by the trauma caused by the unpredictable weather. Just imagine if they got their money from bank of agriculture or other banks that are farmer friendly.

I advise people to try set up the mixed irrigation type I earlier talked about. They will recoup their money within 2 years.

God bless

At noble farm:

Drip is good for both plantain and vegetables but sprinkler can still do a good job and rain gun can do a nice job in the plantation

Drip as well as sprinklers can do but however information on slope, soil type and water-source proximity will help in giving the best suited package.
Drip work best on level land, you need to mount your high tank at peak of land for slopes to compensate the pressure.
If your water source is a canal and the farm on level or near-level land then water pump can help with deep furrow forth nightly irrigation.
its like in production - MIX.

thanks@ happybrother.

well said.

me? i no get sweet mouth, when we get to the farm and i set it up, the irrigation system will speak for itself.

God blessyour hustle
