Yes o my people am back, this thread is for those who persevere and want bumper yam harvest 2017,
.

Part of my yam seedlings I am going to plant around late April or early may in Abuja. If u look closely u will notice I used ashes in preserving my seedlings , the head or top of my yams are always cut out neatly and rub with ashes to prevent them from decaying easily until the next planting season.


The second picture is whole seed yam I.e these ones are just the way they are brought from the farm and have not been cut, I didn't rub these with ashes cus they are not cut, but during planting I will cut them rub with ashes before planting them

Honestly my last harvest was a bumper so i decided to share with those interested on how I did it

This thread is going to last for one year as I will be updating step by step

A lot of techniques and strategies will be revealed on how to have a bumper and also experience 90 to 95 % growth during sprouting of the yam vines

I plan to make about 600 to 1000 heaps next year, o don't sell is solely for family consumption

This is the land I harvested from last year, I am going to expand on it this year

God bless you bro,am following you bumper to bumper

What's the best time of the year to plant yam?

Planting of yams is between December and February depending on location

are u going to plant that big yam whole?

My brother the best time to plant yam is when you start having regular rain fall like ones or twice a week

It also depends on your location, like for me I farm in Abuja, so from my little research I will start planting from late April and early may

People who planted around December had to use enough mulching to ensure the seedlings don't burn, but they still experience lost as a result of delayed rainfall which is beyond their control

I have also come to realise that in terms of size of the yam, during harvest, there is no significant difference between who plant late and who planted early infanct those that plant late gain more

Those big yam are still going to be splitted into three sets or part, why I did not cut them into sets now is to reduce rotten seedlings, so when I want to play I will cut them and immediately rub them with ashes before putting them inside the heaps

What's the maturity period for yam?

Between 5 to 7. Months

These minisets are a bit big, I think you can still reduce the size and get more seed yams

Everyone please I want to know how much yam seedlings cost. Let's say per acre how many seedlings can be planted

Good days, im in abeokuta. Can i plant yam in april and how can i get the seed(lings) and how much of it would i need for one plot and the cost. Thanks

My people you must not plant seedlings, you can buy yam tubers and diced them for planting. And the process is simple

Good pls explain the process
