P3:
Yes pls, what if I need just 1000m of the drip tapes at 30cm spacing?

Yes. I can sell that to you.

Spraytubes with accessories needed to compelete an acre farmland (1100meters) It's here. Let's grow the naira

***Note **the sizes.

P3:
What is the spacing of the driptape, and what is the total length of the driptape in meters?

They come in 30cm and 50 cm.

Total length driptape for 1 acre is 4000m. This brand will not be destroyed even IF IT IS LEFT IN THE OPEN UNDER KADUNA SUN. Trust me on this. I have received the testimony!

They are Durable and made to last. Tried, tested and Certified OK

Determining your farmland size

Why is it necessary to know your actual farmland size? So that you will not be short changed in your business. As proper accounting is essential, knowing the exact land area is equally important to determine your productivity.

Productivity = Total output/land area cultivated

In order word: Productivity equals Yield per hectare or per acre , as the case might be.

Have a fruitful day

Layout for installation of spray tubes

atanda2001uk:
@Saliubello.i have the ff questios: What is the difference(s) btw the two? What are their lengths?

Drip tape drops the water at the root zones of plants only. High precision planting is needed to use driptapes. While spraytube sprays within 2-4m radius.

Agricultural Calendar to plan the production.

It is very important for you to personally develop your own agricultural calendar. Please note that agricultural calendars for two locations can not be same. This is in view of changing weather conditions in various locations.

Planning an agricultural calendar enables adequate deployment of resources needed for the Agricultural production per time. I.e executing the necessary farming operation per time.

For good yield, you as an agricultural entrepreneur must execute all operations PER TIME.

Example 1:

Take a Cassava plantation field
The list of farming operations are:
Land preparation,
Buying inputs,
Planting,
APPLYING fertilizer,
1st weeding,
Insecticides spray,
2nd weeding,
Harvest and
SELLING.

YOUR TASK?
Plot these operations again the time (month) of the year where know you will perform all this task.

Considerations :
1. Rainfall pattern
2. Availability of fund
3. mass harvest time
4. Stem for new field development
5.
6.
7.
8.

Dependent on individual characteristics.

KNOW YOUR MARKET !!!!

I get to receive calls from people from all works of life; most especially the youths who are interested in making it BIG in FARMING. Here is my personal findings:

1. Some think Agriculture is a GET RICH QUICK SCHEME!
2. Some think all knowledge related to crop production and livestock rearing can be gotten from the Comfort of the room.
3. Some think Agriculture has changed drastically as not involving any form of EXTRA EFFORTS or LABOUR.
4. Some just have the wrong notion that so long as they plant any seed in the field or keep a livestock, they must make profits.

Not true. Lots of things come to play!

Before starting out too far, let me share some basic truths with you.

a. Until you return from the market I. e after sales of your produce, you can not be sure that you have made a profit.

b. Your Success in your chosen agribusiness is premised on 2 (two) variables:

DEPENDENT (Good management practices ) or

INDEPENDENT VARIABLES (Cost of farm inputs, cost of sales of produce). You do not have control over these independent variables but the market does!

Therefore, You only have control over the dependent variables. I. e The summation of decisions you took and didn't take too (what input to buy, where to buy, when to apply them and what quantity to apply to get good results.

Knowing your market involves:
1. The location of the market (Primary, Secondary)
2. Who needs the produce and is willing to buy at ANY RATE.
3.The quality of produce that is demanded by the market.
4. The price of the produce compared to other markets.
5. What time of the year does the produce become scarce and command good money?

Add yours too!

Best of luck elsewhere friend.

To do successful business, the Agricultural entrepreneur finds out the prices of all inputs and produce at different markets. This allows the farmer to plan production and to make decisions on the sale of produce.

I remember growing about 500 broiler birds in JANUARY! what's was I thinking? who was I planing to sell to? which celebration was ahead self?

Make wise decisions by determining who will buy your products even before starting out.
