Nairaland GeneralHow To Start A Lucrative Cabbage Farming. by Rosemallow(op): 12:59pm On May 10, 2022
Cabbage farming is not very popular in Nigeria because of the belief that it will not do well except in a place like Plateau State. Cabbage is a leafy vegetable from the family of Brassica. It is the head that is mostly eaten while the leaves are either cut out (dispose), use for compost manure, use in the feeding of animals etc. It grows better in a cool moist environment; the temperature is between 55-60 F. They are some species that accepts temperature within 20-25F.In Africa especially in Nigeria, for you to find out or know exactly if cabbage consumption is high, is during festive periods such Christmas, Sallah etc.

Cabbage is mostly used in salad preparation, food decoration, vegetables for soup/pottage and can as well be eaten raw. It contains calcium which is very good for human health. They are very helpful in the development of snails.

THE TECHNIQUES TO USE ARE:


Chose sandy-loam soil rich in organic matter,

Plant when the weather is favourable mostly during raining seasonFirst of all plant them in a nursery before transferring to the main field Use a very good variety it's very important.

At best plant hybrid cabbage for better yield, quick maturity and disease/pest resistanceApply fertilizer at every stage of their development, organic manure is preferable.

Harvest early to avoid yellowing or botching of the leavesThe spacing should be 45cm apart and the rows 45-60cm apart. Their spacing also depends on the type of variety you are planting.  Early cabbage takes 50-70 days, mid-season cabbage takes 70-90 days while late season takes 90-125 days.PEST/DISEASES OF CABBAGE

The commonest pesticides are cabbage white, flea beetles, maggots, imported cabbage worms, loopers etc. While the commonest diseases are Fusarium yellows, club root, black speck, rot; fungal disease that builds in the soil.

SOLUTION; Plant resistant variety and practice crop rotation.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO INTO CABBAGE FARMING

Banana farming is the most neglected farming in Nigeria. Yet, holds more promises and profit potential than most other farming. Knowledge is power and useful, but when it is kept away from the others it becomes useless! In this post we want to take a look at plantain and banana farming in Nigeria and how to get started.
You can be making N1million monthly from plantain and banana farming if you take it to commercial standard. If people in Nigeria today could sit down and review their living standards, they would realize that most of their complaints for poverty and their inability to take care of their situations were actually their own making.
Why would the city be clustered with hungry people who are doing nothing when the surrounding states are made up of vast expanses of productive farmlands? Why would people prefer to suffer even when they can make millions from farming without stress? Take up banana farming today and see how much you will be making in the next two years. Let's get started. Guidelines For Starting Banana Farming in Nigeria
Hear what a man said with regards to Banana farming in Nigeria: “I was shocked to realize that I was largely to blame for the poverty I was wallowing in. Since I started plantain and banana farming, things have turned around for good for me and it can for you too if you Start up somewhere.
family.”
Here are the steps and guidelines to start yours,but if you need more private discussion
Here's my number 09056506931.

1. Look For The Right Climate
Plantain and banana have one thing in common and that is, they thrives very well in an average climate that is neither too hot nor very cold. They do well in naturally fertilized soil or thick compost manure. Having them in groups is another tricks to getting good harvest because they protect each other from harsh rays of the sun.
Alternatively, if there are other trees to provide needed shades that could help to maintain the humidity of the environment, that would be very nice.Certain states are more favourable to banana cultivation in Nigeria, and they include all states in the South-East, South-South and South-West geo-political zones. Some parts of Kwara, Kogi, Niger, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Taraba and Zamfara. Transplanting
While transpl anting, make sure that the stem or the roots at the bottom is trimmed properly to facilitate good growths. Give five meters gap between plants and keep the plants moist at the early days. Do not over wet the soil because the leaves are not yet out for much water evaporation.
Banana And Plantain Suckers
4. Maintain The Banana Farm
Apply any method to have it protected from strong winds. Throwing the dead plantain leaves back into the plantation is good to sustain the needed manure for good growth.
Do not leave much suckers to be attached with a plant as two are usually enough. Cultivating plantain or banana doesn’t usually cost much except the initial capital to secure the land and plant the suckers after which the plants keeps growing unassisted.
Once it starts to produce, another form of work involved is to make sure that strong winds doesn’t get freely into the plantation as that could lead to the falling of the banana trees.
5. Cost of Starting a Banana Farming
Starting a plantain or banana farm is not in any way expensive if you have a sizable land. The only thing that you would spend little money on is the clearing of the farmland and buying of thesuckers for the banana.
For an acre of land, you may spend less than N300,000 to have every thing done and that includes clearing as the needs may be until the first harvest.
Once a plantain plantation picks up, the owner stands the chance of continuous harvest for the next 20-years or more depending on how the farm is maintained.
6. Recommended Species
The best breeds to go for is the ‘hybrid species. This is a good specie because apart from producing on time when properly taken care of, its usually very big and long.
Maintaining the plants doesn’t entail more than heaping soil around the suckers, removing of the unwanted suckers, fertilization, mulching and weeding once in a while.
Starting a banana or plantain farming is very lucrative because any amount you realized in the first harvest, be sure that with less hard work, you will have an increase the next harvest. You will be making an increment year by year till the next 20 years or there about.
Though the business is lucrative, here is the advice from long time farmers, ‘The size of your farm should depend on the size of your dream, creativity, and innovation. Avoid taking on too much than you can be able to handle financially and in terms of personnel’. Besides, embracing modern farming practices, seeds and technology, be passionate about what you do and give your plantain and banana farming additional time’.
“I had always dreamed of becoming a big farmer. Naturally, I was inclined to the agriculture sector, in which I believed I had some basic skills to do a decent job.”
These are the words of a long time banana farmer in Nigeria who have achieved countless of his dream goals through agribusiness and banana farming in particular.[/quote]
