get a suitable land location

Nice thread! Please how do you plant the rice? By broadcasting, direct seed planting in rows or using a planter.
Kindly shed more light on the process and stages of the application of fertilizers. Thanks

It's either you can't differentiate between acres and hectare as a farmer which is unlikely

Or

You are out to showcase what you know nothing about

hect 10,000 sqr meter

mohisd:
hect 1000 sqr meter

An acre is 4000square meter
An hectare is 10,000 square meter

I will suggest you go and ask the owner of the farm more details about the rice farm.

So that you won't mislead people into wasting their hard earned money.

am kinda surprise at d figure too... have bn into the rice biz for 2years now. (ofada) have not gotten 1/3 of dat figure. maybe i need to learn from op

In lokoja, 6.5 bags was gotten per plot (30mx30m); That is about 65 bags per hectare. The whole farm was covered in nets and have been just harvested.

be careful rice is for the career farmers u can easily get burnt ,I know a friend that lost #500,000 on rice year due to birds,we tried everything from knockout bangers to placing loudspeakers on the field.

Please which type of net you used and how much it coated to cover the hectare?

This is serious ... How many plots did they cover with nets ?

Yield per hectare for rice is generally BTW 1 -10 ton depending on your farm practices.

noblefarm:

It was borrowed from a farmer. The farm does not belong to me but a relation. Since the coverage area was relatively small, nets were very simple to install and there was no single damage to the farm from birds.

Willie2015:

About 3 plots because a total of about 19.5 (long rice paddy) bags was obtained

100kg bags?

Should be. It's about the size called size 8.

https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/we-have-identified-faro-61-as-high-yielding-rice-seed.html
When you plant Faro 61 and apply adequate fertilizer at the appropriate time with adequate water supply, it will be ready for harvest within 90 days. At harvest, you only need to cut the panicle leaving the stem.

When you apply fertilizer and water to the rice plant, it germinates again. The interesting thing about it is anywhere you harvest one panicle of rice, about three or more new ones will come up. Since you did not plant it fresh, it takes only 30 days instead of 90 to harvest. And any farmland you harvest 20 tonnes the first time; you will be expected to harvest about 50 tonnes at the second harvest which is just 30 days away. After the second harvest, you will again apply fertilizer and water and wait for another 30 days for another bigger harvest where you will get far more than what you got the second time. Since every panicle of rice you harvested, three or more new ones will germinate, the more you harvest the more the yield. The farmer is expected to clear the farm and plant new set of seed once in a year after over five harvests.

The harvest going on in my farm right now is the fourth harvest and next month we shall harvest the same plant for the fifth time. So, it is only the first time that you plant this seed that you will wait for 90 days before harvesting. All other subsequent harvests will be after every 30 days. You can get five to six tonnes per hectare after harvest. But we are buying the seed from the research institute with our money.
