#Fertilizer
I have bought 150kg i.e 3bags of NPK fertilizer and 25kg of Urea, 1ltr of foliar/super agro liquid fertiliser

#weed control
Frstly i apply NICOVIEW, a herbicide engineered to kill all sort of weeds in maize crop with knapsack sprayer.

#Pest attack
My first major set back in the business was pest attack... There is this notorious cream like larvae with 3 pairs of leg called WHITE GRUB, this nasty pest destroy about 20% of the seedling. Couple with caterpillar feeding on the buds.. Which i have to replant/check the ones that died.

Due to the shortage of fund, i resort to using rickshaw to plow the farm I paid #10,000 for it. I hire labourers @ #1,500 each to sow the farm.

When the raining season rtarted fully, i bought 5ltrs of herbicide, spray the farmland... I have two different farms aproximately 3 hectares all together.

Farming is one of the most lucrative business if you can have access to farmland land and also capital to run the farm.
So in this thread, I will document my progress, also the challenges i have faced as a zealous and an amateur farmer.
HOW IT BEGINS
I leave Abia in late june 2022 for Borno state.

BBC
Two vintage World War Two-era planes have collided and crashed at an air show in the US state of Texas.

Footage shows the aircraft striking each other at a low altitude, breaking one of the aircraft in half. A fireball can be seen as it hits the ground.

The planes - one of them a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress - were taking part in a commemorative air show near Dallas.

It was not immediately clear how many people were in the two aircraft, or if anyone survived.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it will investigate the crash at the Wings Over Dallas Airshow on Saturday, which describes itself as the US's premiere WW2 airshow.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson called it a "terrible tragedy".

"The videos are heart-breaking," he tweeted. "Please, say a prayer for the souls who took to the sky to entertain and educate our families today."

The number of casualties are not yet confirmed, he said, but added that nobody on the ground had been reported injured.

The event's website states that several planes had been scheduled to do a flyover demonstration on Saturday.

The B-17 bomber played a major role in winning the air war against Germany in WW2.

The second plane, a P-63 Kingcobra, was a fighter aircraft used in the same war, but used in combat only by the Soviet Air Force.
