Good day all, I purchased roughly an hectare of land (14 plots) for plantain farming.
I have no farming experience, but I believe through research and guidance, it will be a success.
Questions will be asked, pictures of progress will be posted.
Thank you.

The future of your plantation begins with your sucker. A fruitful and bountiful harvest is determined by the type of suckers you plant.

Please gentlemen and other farmers, I need your input on the above.
A lot of people selling suckers call theirs hybrid. From the above, they look different but are both called hybrid.
I only need a clarification on 'what is what' or 'which is which'.
Thank you.

the ANS is simple.....if you plant your nursery suckers on yur farm, they will germinate to produce other sucker as children which is the once display on kenfarm pix.

So can't the parent suckers (Nursery suckers) and the children suckers (suckers on kenfarm pix) be called hybrid?

the answer is YES because genetically they have the same genetic makeup
Make further investigation
