It needs oh though I told someone to be checking it for me. He also travelled last week. From next week, I will pay full attention to the place as I was even told its bushy and needs weeding. After this weeding, I will apply chemicals next time around. I want to irrigate before fertilization.

Hello, no update yet?

Wow, I thought they were drought resistant. I guess that only applies to the normal varieties.

.

EMMAACHILE:
I guess there were too young to resist drought and the lack of care including weeds covering the plants. With installation of a 5000 litre and hose, we should get the farm back up and running.

This particular variety seem to consume more nutrients than the local one. I have one local moringa in my compound but the leaves look normal even without fertilisation and additional water while this momax3 variety seem to grow faster thus likely needing more nutrients.

Without water and fertilization, the leaves of the momax3 was light green but regaining the normal darkish green now after fertilization at the weekend.

OK, good to hear. Thanks.

OK, wish you the best.

I will advise you not to use chemicals and to try to grow organic. Once you add chemicals, you have unable to use any seeds from the harvest for organic production - which is where the real money is.

Does fertiliser affect moringa oil quality?

.

EMMAACHILE:
I dont think. But the whites value trees strictly free from chemical fertilizers.

Well, the trees have to be nurtured properly to enable them reach their full potential. I have also visited websites with bulk oil buyers and despite their long oil requirements list, no one said anything about organic tree production rather the emphasis was on HACCP and HACRP.

its wonderful seeing your progress Mr. Emma, more grease to your elbow

EMMAACHILE:
I don't believe in organic and inorganic difference. All i do is give the plants the best treatment to reach their full potential which probably will be by chemical fertilizers. It's so cheap for 5500 for a 25kg bag.

Exactly, maximising potential is the main thing.

50kg bag you mean?

Where can I get momax3 seeds

.

EMMAACHILE:
The vehicle I was using to the farm had an engine seizure and thus couldn't reach there today. Tomorrow I will troubleshoot the vehicle and try to use an alternate vehicle if possible.

Sir, is there real market for moringa

I need like 200 seeds

.

.

EMMAACHILE:
If you have in small quantity, the hausas pick them from the farm but if it's wholesale or bulk volume, buyers can be contacted offline or online.
The hausas I met in Lokoja are ready to buy no matter the volume you have. These are middlemen who can make only 50 on a kg and move them to Kano.

What are the seeds used for in Kano?

.

EMMAACHILE:
Bought by Chinese or Indian businessmen for export.

After buying in Kano, they send them back to Lagos for export or they use Air cargo?

.

EMMAACHILE:
I don't know of that. What I know is that the Chinese occasionally buy directly from the farms here and take it to Kano before exporting.

Ok

Preparing for the farm

Is this sandy soil or loam and was fertiliser added?
