How far with your test papaya farm? Fruiting yet? |
Re: ... by Nobody: 10:25am On Jun 07, 2018 |
mfm04622:I will update by weekend |
Re: ... by ishaqteejay(m): 5:57pm On Jun 08, 2018 |
Please how many Fruit can one plant produce up to 2.5 years .is it 100 Fruit per tree entirely for the 2.5 years. |
Re: ... by Nobody: 9:25pm On Jun 08, 2018 |
ishaqteejay:It should produce above 150-200 fruits before replacement. It is advisable to renew the plantation at most in 3-4 years. |
Re: ... by mfm04622: 4:59pm On Jun 09, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE: Except there is new improved versions now, from research (I still be internet farmer) after the second year, the fruits are smaller in size and number. It is no longer worth it. Better to replace after 2 years 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: ... by Nobody: 5:13pm On Jun 09, 2018 |
mfm04622:It depends on variety too. Some stay as long as even six years but the average is 2.5-3 years especially the dwarf variety. The life of most dwarf variety is 0-6 months 6-30 months - fruiting average of 1 a week After this, decline sets in. |

Please sir, is the market for pawpaw large? I mean are there ready buyers? |
Re: ... by Nobody: 8:26pm On Jun 09, 2018 |
Idemujoseph:This one I am raising is for home consumption. From lokoja, the market should be able to take a trailer load easily a week. From my findings, I was told by the local sales people that even if I farm 20 hectares, the north will easily consume it. 2 Likes |
Re: ... by Idemujoseph: 8:42pm On Jun 09, 2018 |
OK sir. Thanks! |

EMMAACHILE:where is your location please? The MORINGA seeds are they hibrid? |
Re: ... by Nobody: 6:45am On Jun 13, 2018 |
lizdammy:I don't have it currently. They are sold in India but expensive at $1000 per 1kg (3000 seeds) |
Re: ... by Idemujoseph: 8:27am On Jun 16, 2018 |
Mr Emma good morning! Please update us on your pawpaw sir! |

Idemujoseph:I have been away from lokoja for long. This is the picture sent to me last week.

I planted 10 germinated plants and gave out the remaining. Currently, there are six pawpaw trees alive as the other four died out of dehydration earlier during the dry season due to my absence from the house for over two weeks with no one present in the compound. 1 Like |

EMMAACHILE: Good info, please tell me more about the dwarf ogbono how much does it cost to do an hectare plantation and how long does it takes from planting to maturity and how long does the tree lives before dying. Thanks always! |
Re: ... by Nobody: 9:59pm On Jun 16, 2018 |
olushollys:I don't have accurate figures. The info I will divulge here was given to me by an agric extension worker. Starts fruiting from 18 months if irrigated Hectare to cover 120 trees and expected to yield upto 25kg/tree after at least five to seven years Lifespan of tree is above 50 years. Cost of seedling is average of N350 per plant. 1 Like |

EMMAACHILE:ogbono issa goldmine but looks like moringa is the fastest cash roi among all you have listed so far! |
Re: ... by Nobody: 5:53pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
suyamasta:Moringa is the best crop for fast roi especially if you have the resources to convert to oil, moringa fragrance or biodiesel. The estimated earnings for a hectare from 3000 litres of moringa oil is avg price of (30,000,000) 3000*10,000 or min price of (15,000,000) 3000*5,000 Some of us are still looking for commercial land and when this fulani herds men trouble will go away. 3 Likes |
Re: ... by Idemujoseph: 6:54pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
Sir how many years or months does it take for moriga to start producing and how can I cultivate it? |
Re: ... by Nobody: 7:53pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
Idemujoseph:4-6 months but this variety needs irrigation to do well. |
Re: ... by Idemujoseph: 9:16pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
OK thanks! Bit I might not need irrigation because I am in Delta State. |
Re: ... by Nobody: 10:16pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
Idemujoseph:What of between December to February? If it doesn't get water enough during these periods, there will be decrease in expected yields. The first year is expected to yield 2 tons per hectare to 5 tons second year to maximum of 8 tons from fifth year onwards. I have the feasibility for upto 15 years 2 Likes |
Re: ... by suyamasta(m): 11:16pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE:Wow superb, but i wonder who are the target buyers because i see most houses around me having moringa trees |
Re: ... by Nobody: 11:38pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
suyamasta:Mostly traders from the north buy in bulk in Kogi I know. Even if you have 100 trailers, it will be taken. 2 Likes |
Re: ... by olushollys(m): 7:28am On Jun 18, 2018 |
Interesting my fear for morning a has always been the market., but for this info another issue is the herders i.e Fulani and their cattle. I guess the plantation might serve their meal in minutes since the variety is dwarf as you said. What's your opinion on this? Thanks always EMMAACHILE: |
Re: ... by Nobody: 9:18am On Jun 18, 2018 |
olushollys:Lol. I don't know if cattle eats the leaf. Another solution is using plant defense plants like jatropha to seal off the farm. At least let's see how this fulani encroachment is handled by the government. |
Re: ... by suyamasta(m): 10:33am On Jun 18, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE:Wowww thanks for this info! |
Re: ... by olushollys(m): 11:29am On Jun 18, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE: Talking about plant defense tree/ plants how can one get the jatropha seed or seedlings in large quantity to plant round a two hectares farm ![]() |
Re: ... by Nobody: 12:06pm On Jun 18, 2018 |
olushollys:It will be available if you look for it. Check local markets or agricultural dev offices or even ask on nairaland here |
