What are u still waiting for that u have not place order gir your hybrid suckers...remember that time waits for know one ......

Nematodes Nematodes are microscopic “worms” that penetrate and reproduce in the roots of the plantain, thereby destroying them. Infested roots die off, and the plantain can no longer extract nutrients from the soil and can topple easily. To combat nematodes, apply a mix of water, clay and nematicide to the base of the infested plant. However, the most effective solution is to use healthy source material and to rotate crops to include nematicidal plants such as marigolds or neem.

Black sigatoka is a leaf spot disease caused by a fungus that grows on the plantain leaves, causing them to wilt. The fruits are badly filled and maturation is abnormal resulting in poor taste quality and lower fruit yields. When black sigatoka is found, • Remove the damaged leaves (burning them, if possible); • Make sure plantations are not too damp: reduce the density of plants in order to facilitate good air circulation; avoid using plots that are too damp; and weed regularly.visit: www.sedulusplantainsucker.com.ng

Plantain is quite different from dessert banana, being taller and larger and more drought tolerant. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that develops from the underground rhizome. Like bananas, it too flourishes well under tropical moisture-rich, humid low-lying farmlands.www.sedulusplantainsucker.com.ng

Sucker treatment :To avoid wilt disease in Rasthali, Monthan, Virupakshi and other wilt susceptible varieties, infected portions of the corm may be pared and dipped for 5 minutes in 0.1% Emisan solution (1 g in 1 lit of water). Pralinage is done with 40g of Carbofuran 3g granules per sucker. (Dip the corm in slurry solution containing 4 parts clay plus 5 parts water and sprinkle Carbofuran to control nematodes).

Pseudo stem with foliage leaves. The cylindrical structure rising from the soil and carrying the foliage is not a stem in the true sense. It is a “false” stem or pseudostem because the growing tip (or meristem) of the plant remains near soil level. As the false stem consists of overlapping leaf sheaths, plantains are like giant herbs and not like trees. The leaf sheaths render support to the rachis of the mother plant. Young suckers (shoots from the main plant which can develop into bearing plants) have narrow, lanceolated leaves which are called scales and are easily distinguishable from the large foliage leaves.

Get Healthy suckers – Bananas and Plantain are not grown like other plants but its grown through suckers and as such, choosing healthy suckers goes a long way to producing healthy harvests. Always use suckers from matured and dying plantain or banana plants.

At least 116 plantain cultivars have been identified in West and Central Africa. Plant size and bunch type are the most important characteristics for production purposes.

Pruning of suckers This involves removing all the shoots that appear around the base of the parent plant in order to reduce competition during the initial growth phase. After flowering, keep the strongest sucker that is best placed in line with the plantation rows. Remove the others by cutting or pulling them out; this should be done at regular intervals. The removed suckers can be used as replanting material.

We recommend that Its strongly advice you run your soil analysis to before planting season... It's will keep you save from stunt fruits after planting ...visit : www.sedulusplantainsucker.com.ng for more details call 08057761905

Musa parasidiasca belongs to the natural order, plantaginaceae which contains more than 200 species, twenty-five or thirty of which have been reported. The common plantain (Plantango major) has broad, irregular oval leaves, abruptly contracted at the base into a long broad, channelled footstalk. The fully grown blade is 1.3–2.4 meters long and about two- third as broad, usually smooth, with several parallel veins

θg) is the mass of water per mass of dry soil. It is measured by weighing a soil sample (mwet), drying the sample to remove the water, then weighing the dried soil (mdry). .. Volumetric Soil Moisture Content refers to the volume of water in a given volume of soil as discussed on previous pages. This type of Soil moisture Content is measured in m3.m-3 (so howmuchofacubic metre is water out of the entire cubic metre of soil sample). Alternately, the Volumetric Soil Moisture content can be referred to as a % of volume (which is much easier)

The fully grown blade is 1.3–2.4 meters long and about two- third as broad, usually smooth, with several parallel veins. Plantain grows more than any other plant in compacted soils, is abundant beside paths, roadside and other areas with frequent soil compaction. It is also common in grassland and as a weed among crops.

Soil water content is expressed on a gravimetric or volumetric basis. Gravimetric water content (θg) is the mass of water per mass of dry soil. It is measured by weighing a soil sample (mwet), drying the sample to remove the water, then weighing the dried soil (mdry). .. Volumetric Soil Moisture Content refers to the volume of water in a given volume of soil as discussed on previous pages.

EXPENSES AND AMENITIES THAT COULD BE REQUIRE DURING FARMING.

Weeding the grasses every month (COST OF WEEDING =N350, 000.00)

Application of pesticides chemicals for pest controlling.( COST =N420,000.00)

Application of herbicide after 4month old .(COST= N400,000)

Application of fertilizers after 3month old from time of planting (COST=N510, 000.00)

Application of organic liquid fertilizer (COST = N390, 000.00)

LABORERS AND FARM MANAGEMENT STUDIES

With one acre of plantain farm ,we should provide sufficient laborers that can work without supervision .After the panting ,we will need to weed from day-1 to 90- days continuously because this are the time we call trial period for the plant and if this is not adequately taken care of, some plant will won’t produce up to the expectation and standard and below is the table on how we can be weeding from day-0 to 90-days. Its not that weeding don’t require after 90days but it will be minimal to that of 90 days ....or however herbicide van be adopted.

The experimental area was located in the northwest corner of the Iowa Conservation Commission State Forest Nursery, 1 mile south of Ames, Iowa. The soil of the experimental nursery area is O'Neill sandy loam, a brunizem. Its parent material is stratified outwash of the Cary or Mankato glacial drift, or both. This soil occupies high terraces that vary from nearly level to somewhat eroded.

Choosing the time to plant Plantains can be planted throughout the rainy season. How-ever, they should grow vigorously and without stress during the first 3 to 4 months after planting, and therefore they should not be planted during the last months of the rainy season. Planting with the first rains seems agronomically sound but not financially advantageous. Most farmers will plant at the onset of the rains, causing the market to be flooded with bunches 9 to 12 months after planting, when prices will be very low. Planting in the middle of the rainy season is a better proposition as plantains will then be produced off-season and get high prices.

Selection is the key to the whole operation: remove a healthy sucker
from the base of a fully grown cultivar. The sucker should have narrow,
sword-shaped leaves, with a pseudostem of 5 to 40 cm in height (sword
sucker), and the bulb should be free from traces of disease no fringing
or traces of nematodes.

9. Fertilizing To produce a heavy bunch, plantains always need some extra nutrients. These can be applied in the form either of inorganic fertilizers or organic fertilizers (mulch, manure or ash from wood fires). Inorganic fertilizers have the advan-tages of easy handling and concentrated nutrients. Organic fertilizers are very bulky, yet they manifest many important characteristics. They improve soil moisture retention, weed and erosion control, soil porosity and biological activity. F

The growing tip (or meristem) at the top of ·the corm continuously forms new leaves and later becomes the inflo-rescence. The corm produces many branches, called suckers, and the whole unit is often referred to as the "mat" or "stool". After the plant crop has been harvested, the mother plant is cut down and the suckers are thinned. Although all suckers are followers or daughter plants,
