• Contact insecticide:
This type of insecticide has immediate effects on insect when sprayed, they penetrate into the supporting systems of the insect such as nervous system and respiratory system, causing a total break down of the insect. They are available in powered and liquid form which can be applied on the insects when noticed on the farm, they are very effective in action. Examples are Malathion, Decamethrin, Perfecthion, Carbaryl etc.

The heavy weight of the plantain bunch bends all bearing plants and can cause doubling (pseudo stem breaks), snap- off (corm breaks, leaving a part in the ground) or uprooting, also called tip-over (the entire corm with roots comes out of the ground). Plants are generally weak during the dry season and strong winds, nematodes and stem borers also increase the rate of loss. For these reasons, bearing plants always need support from 1 or 2 wooden props, usually made of bam- boo. If a piece of bamboo is used, the support is placed alongside the bearing plant and the top of the plant is tied to the bamboo. A lateral branch at the top of the bamboo prop sometimes forms a natural fork which can be used to support the plantain without being tied to it. When 2 pieces of bamboo are used, the bunch and not the plant is supported in the first place.

Good morning ,have you check the growth of your farm today? Its better you follows up to check if their is any hindrance attach..

11. Intercropping : Plantain fields are arranged in rows spaced 3 m x 2 m. As the canopy closes only some 5 to 6 months after planting, a fair amount of inter-row space remains un exploited during the first months. This space can be used for plants which have a short life cycle and which do not compete with plantains. Groundnut, yam , cocoyam and maize are suitable intercrops although maize effectively delays the plantain harvest by about 2 months. Cassava and cowpea are not suitable, because their yields are reduced under the shade of plantain rows. Plantains can be used as a shade crop for young cocoa and coffee plants.www.sedulusplantainsucker.com.ng

2. Preparing the field : Fields are to be prepared with minimum disturbance to the soil (no-tillage farming). In consequence, manual clearing should be preferred to mechanical deforestation because bulldozers always remove topsoil with the important organic matter and compact the remaining soil. When an old natural fallow is cleared, the debris from the forest should be burned if plantain cultivation is planned for 1 or 2 cycles only. If perennial cultivation is being considered, planting should be done through the mulch .Young fallows of about 3 to 5 years or improved legume fallows should be simply slashed and left without being burned. Trees must be cut but the stumps are not to be removed, and the trees should be left to grow again. They can be pruned only when they start to obstruct field activities or shade the plantains. Once the fallow crop is slashed, the field is ready for pegging. Drains should be dug if some spots in the field tend to waterlog after heavy rains.

We thank you for your effort and join work so far for establishment of plantain farms but we hope to see to some more work in accordance.. Thank You from All of us Sedulus Plantain Farm

We are supplying up to 900,000 pieces of suckers to some government agent but we want it to be fast so we here to sup let to you to supply 300,000 pieces ....we will call you for more details ...Thank you From Sedulus Plantain Farm

Fertilizer treatments: The field was laid out according Sedulus Plantain design with three replications and four mats per replication. The following N-P-K fertilizer treatments were applied: T1 = no fertilizer applied; T2 = 300-50-250 g/mat/yr; T3 = 600-100-500 g/mat/yr; and T4 = 900-150-750 g/mat/yr. Fertilizer application rate was based on a generally proposed fertilization program (600-100-500 g/mat/yr N-P-K) for Plantain plantations grown in southern Nigeria (MoA, 2006). The fertilizers used in this experiment were urea as source of nitrogen, triple super phosphate as a source of phosphate, and potassium chloride as a source of potassium. Fertilizer treatments were divided and applied in 5 doses distributed throughout the cropping cycle. Treatment fertilizers were applied in 20 cm depth circular bands at 30 cm distance from the plantain mat. Following application, fertilizers were covered with soil and the plants were irrigated through drip irrigation system for 30 min. In addition, organic compost (20 kg /mat) was applied twice during the same period and supplemental micronutrient foliar spray (Fetrilion Combi, 300 ml per 200 L H2O) was applied 3 times before flowering, at flowering and during fruits maturation.

The recommended spacing is 3 m between the plantain rows and 2 m within the row (in other words. 3 m x 2 m). An alternative is 2.5 m x 2.5 m. If spaced 3 m x 2 m, 1 hectare should contain 1667 plants, but with a spacing of 2.5 m x 2.5 m, it should contain 1600 plants. Rows should be straight in flat fields to give plants the maximum amount of sunlight. However, on sloping land, rows should follow the contour lines in order to decrease soil erosion.

Good work Mr.Ken

Good morning house.... I av you ever consider the business you can do without any instincts of loosing? Yes if you av not then ken farm has bring to your door step the kind of business its ....which is plantain farm ...owning a plantain farming is the best idea one can venture on without any fair of failure...

A field that becomes unproductive should be left fallow when the plantain mats have been destroyed. Good results can be obtained with the use of kerosene, glyphosate or 2-4 0 but the plantain mats can only be completely destroyed by hand. This ensures that no live material remains to harbor pests and reinfect the field.
