@Op from my little experience when I used to own a farm around iseyin axis, there are cashew plantation that are as old as 30 years and still producing maximally. You need to state the location of the farm, find out from other farmers around your area to see if it is weather problem. But honestly you need to really know the species you planted. I once own about 20 acres of land around iseyin, then I sold it off when I noticed I could not guarantee the safety of the crops I planted then. I intended planting cashew then , but caved in when Fulani issue was rearing it ugly head then, I mean around 2018. Mind you got some guys who bought about 100 acres and was planting cashew on the land in phases then , I remember the dude told me in import the species then from I think Brazil . 1 Like |

Gastrocnemius:Output of farm produce has to do with season. This year harmattan has a negative effects on output of Cashew this year. The low yield generally affected this year output 1 Like |

Gastrocnemius:The trees have passed their prime productive years and soil nutrients depleting. I suggest you should be replacing old trees with new seedlings little by little. Also apply fertilizer to replenish the soil. Above all, never neglect the spiritual aspect because the spiritual controls the physical. |

Coming from the physiology angle,how was the flowering as at last year .Possibly your cashew tress had enough flower last year which invariably affected this year flower production .Check out for pest,diseases ( especially( Anthracose). 1 Like |

Gastrocnemius:The prolonged winter, which led to elongated Harmattan btw Dec and Jan, to early Feb did not go down well with fruiting of cashew trees. Generally there is a very low yield all across so its not just your Dads farm. The weather was cooler (I love it though) and less favourable to cashews. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Gastrocnemius: Do not listen to any warrior on this thread telling you to cut down the trees or introduce a new specie. My advice: Plants and field crops are sensitive to environmental changes due to variations in interannual temperatures and rainfall. This might be the reason your cashew farm is declining in yield. A good approach would have been to observe previous yields and compare them with previous climate. However, this is not easy to do especially if you don't understand the science. Another approach, which is what I think you will do is to option for induced pollination. A standard duration and temperature is required for pollens to move from anther to stigima. This is called natural pollination. But then climate change has altered most of these natural processes. This is why artificial pollen induction is required. Seek the services of an agronomist with good track records in plant breeding. He or she will provide expert advice and opinion on what best to do. Hope this helps. 2 Likes |

There are number of factors that can lead to yield in cashew orchard, namely farmers' plant seeds of open pollinated nuts with poor genetic make-up, high cashew population density, poor pest and disease management and less attention to soil management issues etc. I can't see your plant in question so, I can't diagnosed it, but I will encourage you to make research on management of cashew orchard or preferably you consult an Agronomist. Do you practice any of this following ? For all these are very important in management of cashew orchard. 1 pruning 2 selective thinning 3 pollarding 4 coppicing 5 top working 3 Likes |

Gastrocnemius:This answers your question. They are aging and can't be bountifully reproductive every year. You need to do away with the very old one and plant new ones |

you have to prune the branches. pruning is like trimming the branches. you can read more on pruning. it increases production of fruits |

This year cashew season is almost rounding up. Start next fruiting season by clearing all vegetal covers that might be competing for niche on the farm. If the farm is not receiving adequate rainfall, try and dig some well that can be pumped out with mobile generator. The plantation needs water to flourish. Your knowledge of entomology needs to be put into use from 2nd week of flowering. Introduce bees by taking artificial beehive from bee farmers to the farm and the hives needs to stay between 5 to 7 weeks for adequate pollination. Remove beehives thereafter, continue with watering during the dry season. Ensure no fire, no smoke around the farm. Gammaline 20, 200, Pyrethroid in gaseous or liquid form should not be allowed close to the farm. All form of mistotles should be detached and unhealthy branches should be well pruned for adequate resource utilization. Maintain the farm stead to be free from rodents. Aphids and tree cutters should be removed before flowering time . Keep farm neat at all times. Have a bounty harvest next season. 5 Likes |

Gastrocnemius:They probably aging and may likely need a new replacement. Again I hope they are not infected with fungi disease and other common plant disease. These economic trees can be a mess sometimes even after huge resources invested in them. My best economic tree remains palm. See if you have cashew farmers around, consult them and explain the problems, they are in best position to fix the issue. |

I think this is a general issue. In my area, most of the Coconut trees just wildered and died. Some mango trees didn't bear any fruit this season while some other fruits are having one issue to the other. It may be related to radiation or the 5g stuff. |

Gastrocnemius: Haba!!! 20 years! I had even started thinking soil test and analyses. You know these things reach a peak, and then start to decline. PLUS, a huge element is the climate that has changed. Guy, trees too dey feel am. confluence: While improved varieties might perform better, I don't understand how 30 year old cashew trees can still produce maximally. There are still peaks and then a steady decline. Knowledge of the variety might help inform your decision HOWEVER if indeed it is less a production decline, my suspicion still falls on the weather. For annuals, the most important time is flowering, and water has to be plenty then. If water no dey, yield go low. Perhaps na the same for tree perennials |
