jasper7:
from your narrative, am believing your land is in ogun. I heard the locals can be very unreasonable and sometimes aggressive. a friend of mine just had similar experience. Try and sort it out with them first, if not whatever project that goes on there is in jeopardy.

No.... Edo state

mercylicious:
i just feel i need to chip in. wen buying land, try and measure d land b4 u pay. get a trusted surveyor to reconfirm wat theirs measured. i will write my story at d right time.

Yo' right Mercy but I didn't buy it, I rented d land n d community boys are just so frustrating, they will always want to extort money from pple.

jasper7:
I am humbled that I have been able to impart in your life. and also excited about your fluted pumpkin testimonial. what is the size of your farm? do you use irrigation on it? I love to see young people making money from vegetable farming.

Its 2 acres but was not measured with tape n I'm not sure its up to 2acres. Eye gauge things.... the community boys refused to use tape. I'm not using irrigation for now n its affecting the yield but I'm managing it that way for now cos I'm doing all d work myself n its stressful. thanks boss.

Jasper, You are indeed a genius.... I have been following your thread silently from day one. like what was preached in church today, Jasper "You are in Purpose" n I love all you've been doing. God will CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU n You will NEVER experience anything "lack" I'm really impressed n encouraged n also envy You. I practically started my farm after reading much from this forum, I plant fluted pumpkin leaf n it has been my source of income that foots my school fees n other bills with little support from my family. I'm in HND1 now n hoping to expand my farm n grow other vegetables before rounding up with studies. I will be glad to see you live one day. Thanks to You n others like world1, jethro, kalusam who hv contributed to my life...... Pls keep d good work up. God Bless You all.

. Thanks very much boss

You welcome Sir.

Agricultural extension is a general term
meaning the application of scientific research
and new knowledge to agricultural practices
through farmer education. The field of
'extension' now encompasses a wider range of
communication and learning activities
organized for rural people by educators from
different disciplines, including agriculture ,
agricultural marketing , health , and business
studies.

Agricultural economics originally applied the
principles of economics to the production of
crops and livestock — a discipline known as
agronomics. Agronomics was a branch of
economics that specifically dealt with land
usage . It focused on maximizing the crop yield
while maintaining a good soil ecosystem . Agricultural economist is sm1 that studied or practicing agricultural economics.

Good morning

Please how many paint bucket of ugu do i need on an acre of land.

It depends on the spacing you used in planting. If they re planted closely, it will consume more. I didn't use any particular length for spacing cos i planted some very close n gave some enough space n I used up to 14rubbers n secondly you know the measurement of an acre varies base on ur location. Some people said d normal spacing is 1-1.5metres.

RealChris:
Pls what is the difference between the circled? Trend(CCI) and Oscillators(Commodity Channel Index), and also Trend(Stochastic) and Oscillators(Stochatics Oscillatore) inside indicators. Thanks

Pls someone should answer me...

My fluted pumpkin farm as at 24th November, 2014. I have harvested 4times from it.

nwimo22:
Please what is soil methodology? I urgently need the explanation,i will be going for an interview on it by wednesday.

Google it

ptoall:
@Realchris, what do u refer to 1 piece. You said 25 pieces was sold for 100 naira. Is it the stalk? Can u post some pictures?

The Piece I meant is the size of leave that can fill your fist tied together... Just like broom and 1piece is N100, that is, the 25 pieces are N2,500. I will try and post a picture.

smartoskie:
Great job bros. Keep it up.
Please i like to know where u are base, i wish to pay a visit to your farm if permited and learn from you. Can i reach you on the phone?

I live in Benin City, Edo state and you are permitted and free to visit anytime n anyday

focus7:
am sorry for the error, the right number is 08162782389

Noted.

smartoskie:
Have u harvested any from this section yet? what is the quantity like and at what rate did u sell them?

Yes.... Got 25pieces from there. it was sold for N100 each piece. its not much since its d first harvest from it. Harvested frm the first set I planted today again, its the forth time I hv harvest frm it. Didnt complete an acre at first due to d community youth disturbance n unavailability of seeds. Just finished it this month n I hv added an acre to mk it 2 acres. My issh is tht I'm not sure if its a complete size; thts 2acres but I'm sure of getting over 200 - 300pieces in every 10days harvest by January.

focus7:
RealChrist hi, happy to u as a colleague on the forum. I am an Ugu farmer, we planted almost the same period. I did my first planting first week of October and the second and third weeks after. If u don't mind I will like us to be sharing experience together, both here on the forum and outside. 08162782398.

I'm glad Focus. Was really lonely here, good to have U here. hope ur vegs are good. where do U base? will b glad to share experience.

Called but seems its a wrong number.

Juliana7:
@ realchris, pls in one of ur earlier posts u mentioned dat u "used extra boost to spray the leave" are saying u sprayed chemical on d leave. Is it herbicide or insectide, i learnt d formal will kill ur vegetable. So which did u use?

Yes, I used boost extra. Boost extra is like a liquid fertilizer which enhances d veg to grow fast but frm my observation it only changes the colour of the leaves n mks it to look fresh, just like treatment; use it when the leaves are yellow. Will advise U apply normal granule fertilizer like npk15:15:15 or urea. but I mixed both n applied once n the ugu looks sweet. will try n get some shots

ptoall:
Why don't you put poultry dungs around the plant?

There is no poultry around but i have applied urea n npk fertilizer. Only wanted to know how super grow works. thanks

Good day, pls I want to know if anyone here have used GNLD Super Grow. If any, pls how was the yield like? thanks for ya quick response.

bamiwale:
Thank God you have devised a way of dealing with the boys. As per the price of an acre around here it varies depending on proximity to a major road, market, city, etc. Around Ibadan villages, the price can be as low as 120k or less in some places for an acre. However, some areas are more expensive in the range of 200k, or even 250k.

Thanks Bamiwale. is tht amount for rent per year or for outright purchase?

bamiwale:
I deduce you have raised 3 important issues here. One, the issue of proper and accurate measurement. Two, "community boys" issue in Benin area. Three, finding another farmland.

The first issue you raised is part of land management practices that still bedevil our land system. This kind of thing depends on the area where your land is located. Harmful practices like these vary from place to place and are more prominent in certain places. The disturbing thing is that reporting to the police may not achieve anything positively. Anyone with experience of dealing with "community boys", Benin branch should please share with us. The solution is usually area specific and sometimes depend on understanding the local culture.

To the second issue. I will advise that you tailor your use of the land to animal husbandry as it seems animal rearing is more prominent in the area. It is easier to deal with the problem of animals eating your crops when there are more crop farmers than animal farmers. These issues are better resolved jointly.

About the land purchase, there are places I can suggest to you in Oyo and Osun states but for the distance from your location. Coming to farm in Oyo or Osun state is complete relocation and demands a lot from someone that is a bit far like you. I hope people that are closer to you who know places that does not have the issues you have raised above would kindly suggest such to you on this thread.
All the best.

I'm managing d size as it is for now and as for d youths, I hv settled their bush inspector n i'm now working without disturbance for now. I only hope that they shouldn't come again with another story cos i'm only into vegetable(fluted pumpkin) farming for now which I hv started harvesting with hope to expand to other crops and animals as time goes on.

For me, relocating is not an issue cos farming is what I want to do for a living provided the place is conducive for living with any form of disturbance.
How much is an acre or hectare of land in Oyo or Osun n what village is that? Are there cows in the bush that eat up crops? Are d lands there suitable for vegetable farming? will there b good source of water in the farm or close to the farm? what about quick access to market? thanks for your assistance Oga Bamiwale

I will b glad if I get a good place in Edo state though.

LONGFELLOW02:
Which community is that?

Its Obagie community. Where Presco is located

Pls If U are a Vegetable farmer (fluted pumpkin leaf, tomatoes n pepper) in Benin, Edo state, let me know. I will love to visit your farm for sighting n learning purpose. Thanks

Happy Birth Day To You, ADENIYI SOLA BUNMI (World1)

I used to hv issues with the community youths that sit at home doing nothing than to smoke, drink n wait for farmers they can oppress for settlement. I have paid like 10k for an acre of land which is not even up to d normal measurement cos they used eye gauge to measure it for me, they refused using a tape to measure it. And 2ndly cow disturbs a lot in d place I'm farming, they eat up pple cassava farm n also eat pple water melon. I planted fluted pumpkin leaf n i'm planning to relocate by next year to any other place around Benin that is good for vegetable farming n other crops with accurate measurement on lands without community boys or youths n cows disturbing. Anyone with good place should let me know, advice n suggestions also needed. thanks.

Kalusam:
I cannot categorically tell you whether it will have a bad effect or not. Fertilizers are meant to supplement available soil nutrients, so how rich is your soil in Nitrogen? Is it necessary to add more of Nitrogen rather than phosporus or other elements? Answering these will help you to make a more informed decision.

Actually, I didnt do any soil test but farmers around do apply only NPK15:15:15 to their own but I was told that Urea mks it to produce good leaves while NPK helps for seed production... So I just decided to mixed the 2. I also use extra boost to spray the leaves. I know soil test is very very compulsory n important but I dont know where to do it and how much it can cost me. Thanks for ur replies Kalusam, It helps.... I will appreciate if there are more advice for improvement.
