I'm in the same position but I have only one kid at the moment. To born another one no hungry me at all.

I've tried so many things but nothing seems to work.

I am currently trying to raise funds to get a laptop with long battery life and go into coding fully, as I already have experience in IT, and see if I can hustle some remote job.

I really don't know have any advice but can I contact you on WhatsApp maybe we can run minds once in a while if you need someone to talk to?

I'm a very optimistic person and in times like this you need optimism to overcome

I can be contacted through the number listed in the OP.

What is the mixing ratio to that of water in d knapsack sprayer?

Actually, there are 10 small sachets in the small container (Top Nicol) Bought the. container for #2000. So one sachet for a load.

peterbello:
OK. Thanks for the prompt feedback as I am about getting Striker. From the name, Top Nicol, it means it contains Nicosulfuron as the active ingredient just like Striker. It's only Striker we get in my place. Maybe, I'll just increase the concentration of the Striker when I get it.
Did you mix it with Atrazine when you used it? Because for me, Atrazine didn't do anything even though I sprayed it 2-3 days after planting. Probably there is something I am not doing right. Thank you.

Cc: famagro, stagger, alakara.

Nope. Didn't mix with athrazine. I think what athrazine does for the most part is to stop growth of weed and prevent quick germination of weed on the farm. Although it's also a selective herbicide, when mixed with paraeforce and sprayed immediately after planting before germination, its helps to slow down growth of weed while the paraeforce will burn the weed. Try asking around for that Top Nicol if you can get it, it's far better than striker for me although the action is quite slow but the long term effect is fantastic.

Very interesting piece. But I sincerely hope that this research will not disprove Einstein's Theory of Relativity because we will probably have to reconfigure our knowledge of the physical world as it were.

peterbello:
So what is the update? Did the Striker work for you?

The striker was not as effective as expected so I used another selective herbicide, Top Nicol and it was fantastic. In about three weeks time, it should be ready for harvesting.

peterbello:
So what is the update? Did the Striker work for you?

Actually, it didn't really work. Got another chemical called Top Nicol and it worked like magic. Though it's quite slow as it took about three weeks for the weeds to die but it worked all the same.
So painful I didn't go for this choice earlier on.

Farming is very lucrative when it is in large scale and not subsistence level but it has one big problem - theft.
So think about how you can negotiate this problem before ever going into it.

OK. Let my share a little experience.

I started about a million naira project with less than 50,000NGN recently.
I just informed people that I'm going into so so project and the expected profit. showed them pics of the project site and convinced them to do same but I will supervise it for them. Though it was difficult carrying out my own project and supervising theirs, I was able to get the needed cash to carry out my own project along with theirs and it has been a thrilling experience so far.

Lesson: Sometimes, you just need to do a little thinking and the problem of capital will be solved.

omo17:
Pls someone shd say something, I want to learn oo.

Can't u do manual weeding? because at that stage, maize plant shd be free from weed totally. Pls act fast

Manual weeding is costly and there is possibility of accidental disturbance of the maize plants.

saliubello:
Dear friend,

All of your questions are very simple to attend to. But in answering them, some pertinent or basic things need to be known. The efficiency of any brand name herbicide is strictly dependent on its Proper application.

Will you be using the manufacturer' application dosage or your instinct??
The timing of your application will equally determine its efficiency. A fairly wet soil will allow for herbicide efficiency than a dry/ caked soil.

Any brand of glyphosate must not be used at all at this stage. - for obvious reasons.

You are at liberty to choose between "Stricker" herbicide (if the field has a high percentage of grasses than broad leaved weeds) or any other brand of " 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid" herbicide if the field contacts largely broad leaved weed or go with gramoxone or paraquat groups to just suppress the foliars of perennial grasses.

I hope this helps!

Nonetheless; its not usually a one cap fits all.

The pump or noozle calibrations, the walking speed of the farmer and deligence of the applicator will invariably affect the efficiency of herbicide choosen afterall.

I can't thank you enough for this advice. After contacting an expert who works with IAR&T, He gave exactly the same advice today and I've purchased the herbicide. It will be applied from tomorrow.
I'm so grateful sir.
I'll keep you updated with the outcome.

Update:
Just got Striker by Saro Africa. To be mixed with athrazine.

please respond if you have an idea

I just planted about 30 acres of maize only and sprayed with chemical immediately

But there is a little problem. The maize is about three weeks old but it has almost been taken over by weed. This is despite spraying with athrazine and ParaeForce herbicides immediately after planting.
Now I don't know which herbicide to use that will not affect my maize but will kill the weeds both broadleaf and grasses.
Any expert advice will be appreciated.

Update:
I have been able to clear the land and planted my maize.
The farmland has been extended to 30 acres of maize only for now.

But there is another little problem. The maize is about three weeks old but it has almost been taken over by weed. This is despite spraying with athrazine and ParaeForce herbicides immediately after planting.
Now I don't know which herbicide to use that will not affect my maize but will kill the weeds both broadleaf and grasses.
Any expert advice will be appreciated.

Correct score: 3 - 1.

This woman should not go to the sharia court with the man. From every indication, the man is not contributing much to the upkeep of the family. Keep on trusting God and hoping that a day comes when you will be out of this mess.

A Christian and nonbeliever of Islam should go to Sharia court?

sleeknick:

Good morning @Sagacious2016, hope all is going fine with your farm project? Pls I'm interested in farming this year especially now that it's lucrative. How can I reach you? 08157976560

Where do you intend to do your farming? I stay in Ibadan.

muhamm3d:
Is it the tractor clearing that is 4k or what? Can you kindly connect me to the tractor driver?? Thanks.

Sure. Renting of tractor is quite cheap here. In fact in most LG in Ibadan, they collect 5000 naira per acre. And there ways you can still bend the rules too.

bizzibodi:
use tree killer chemical to kill d trees & spray herbicides to kill d grasses,which u will still need 2 remove the standing dead grasses with cutlass,gather & burn them.That land is about 60 plots it is advisable u start small,large farm required high cost to manage,large farm need 2 be mechanised to b successful,u will need over a #1milln to successfully manage such large cassava & maize farm.

Thanks so much.

PS: You don't need up to a million naira to manage 10 acres of maize and cassava farm. About 500,000 naira will do at the beginning. I've done all the necessary enquiries plus not my first time of farming.

omo17:
Y don't u hire tractor nd clear it at once, I know you will get tractors to do d job in abeokuta, please where is ur farm.

Thanks. I'm already speaking with a tractor driver and we are negotiating. #4000 per acre. But he wants to check the place himself to see if it is 'tractorable'.
My farm is not far from kila

Cee9:
I will advice u to do a smaller number of acres,with time u can expand.by then u can understand things more.labour&cost of such things doffer from place to place

I've actually paid for 10 acres. And I have little farming experience. I studied agric related course but the only problem I'm having here is that of labour cost

Cee9:
get labourers to remove d few trees.Tractor will work on d shrubs.Then spray immediately after tractorization with pre&post herbicide. This will rid the area of weeds..

I'm trying to look at the cost too

soil9:
Go to any agrochemical store and ask for Unitedforce.

How effective is it in terms of killing the ground vegetation and how long do i have to wait before plowing?thanks.

farmerwealth:
I'll advice you look out for cheap labour outside that area, because you'll still have to plough the land and it won't be possible for tractor to move.

How about using herbicide (chemical) to clear the non-woody plants before using labour to cut down the trees and shrubs?
