Hello sir, I have interest in this field but I have a 9am - 5pm job I do.. can the two be done and balanced?

world1:
The numbers can be determined by many factors
1. If you have drip irrigation you can do dense plantation of 1500 per acre.
2. If you have a livestock beside your farm or source for constant supply of manure and you can manage it then you can do high plantation of 1000 per acre.
3. Normal or say standard is 800 per acre
4. For research do 500 per acre.

What's the recommended spacing for the bolded part please? And what's the recommended flow rate(as per irrigation emmitter) for plantain? Thanks.

Please which plantain variety is the best to plant and why is it the best

Yes.

if manual clearing is done, is it necessary to do ploughing and harrowing of the farm land?

Plantain plantation isn’t rocket science.. It’s something that can easily done. If you follow this article.

Plantain is known to survive, no matter how harsh the conditions are.
Thanks for sharing

Good one

Can one plant tomatoes with plantain

Fortunately we don't charge a dime for consultation if we are setting up for you. We are trying to propagate our lovely suckers so we can buy back suckers from our networks of farm as the demand for this type of suckers is getting higher everyday.

please i need your contact info, want to discuss how you can help me set up a plantain farm

Hi world1, thank you so much for this priceless information.It is a wow! from me. You gave selflessly in a very selfish world. You deserve commendation. I followed the thread keenly with interest from the 2014 post till date.
Please I am very much interested in Plantain farming. I live in warri, Delta state. I am wondering if you can suggest to me the best access to land to start farming. Let me please state that I am willing to leave my comfort zone and move to any place for the sake of plantain farming if need be. I want to use this medium to ask for your permission to use some of the pictures you posted for illustrative purpose for a presentation.
I am waiting for your reply and permission.

Thank you very much.

Factors limiting production and availability in Nigeria

1. Land. The type of land tenure system (inheritance) practiced in most plantain producing regions of Nigeria does not give space for expansion. In some cases, where land is hired, its fertility is too low for plantain production and farmers maximize its use by practicing intercropping with crops like cocoyam and cassava.

2. Cultural Practices. There has been little or no change in the cultural practices of the crop in the last 20 years. The inadequate knowledge of improved cultural practices of the crop by the farmers, inefficient extension services systems by the government, and skewness of specialization in areas of research are part of the reasons why yield potential of plantain is still low in Nigeria. Farmers still depend solely on rainfall without irrigation. The average national farmer/extension agent ratio, which is 2500:1, also contributes to a poor movement of research results to end users.

3. Labour. Plantains are planted at the onset of the rains. This coincides with the time of planting of other crops. In most cases, shortage of labour makes cultivation of large farms difficult, resulting in delayed weeding and reduce yield. Constant high cost of labour is usually experienced in many oil producing states due to preference for higher paying jobs at oil companies.

4. Pests and Diseases. Black leaf streak and banana weevils are the major disease and pest affecting plantain production in Nigeria. The appearance of black leaf streak was noticed in the country in 1986. Most plantains are susceptible to the disease, which causes 30–50% yield reductions (IITA, 1989). Observations in plantain producing regions showed that the disease occurred more in distant fields than in home gardens. Banana weevils cause snapping of fruit bearing plants, which forces farmers to give continuous attention to this pest. Introduction of several resistant cultivars and better cultural practices seems to have reduced its occurrence.


5. Post-harvest Handling. High postharvest losses are among the major problems limiting the availability of plantain in the country. As a result of poor handling, postharvest diseases are commonly seen on fruits sold in the country. The fact that most large farms are always located inside the forests, far away from road access, makes the produce to stay on heaps for several days by the road side. In the late 1980s, transportation of this crop by rail to other non-producing regions was common, but the absence of a current rail system and adequate road network to most farms now hampers easy distribution to non-producing areas.

6. Storage. Environmental factors, such as temperature, relative humidity and air composition, do affect the shelf-life of plantain. Coupled with inadequate storage systems, insufficient distribution and lack of ripening techniques, environmental factors always result in a large proportion of the produce being wasted.

Dear Guys,

My name is Mr. Akeem, i have 20 arces of land at iseyin, oyo state which is good for agriculture. our area of specialization focus mainly on cassava and plantain plantation, i have not done any thing yet on the land, but i have done my consultation and a comprehensive business plan for both the cassava and plantation is ready but the finance to start is my challenge.

I want to use this opportunity to Seek for partnership/investor who are willing to take risk with me.

there is a ready made market for what we planned to plant (commercial market)i.e marketing our product after harvest is not a problem.


Any interested party can chat me on whatapp 07039657867.

please strictly for business.

Regards
