Good morning and many thanks for the various contributions Whenever plantations of fruits are mentioned, we must cater for the activities of pollinators and pollination agents... I suspect the activities of OP's neighbours might have killed or scared off these pollinating agents: thereby the flowers fall off without getting to becoming fruits Encourage optimal pollination by having bees nearby. Bees are the best pollinators as they forage for flowers' nectar. In fact, build their hives inside the plantation itself and very soon, your production of pure, natural honey will be the talk of town! Symbiotic living and existence. Everyone is happy. And you get gallons and litres of honey in addition as a byproduct 3 Likes |

Gastrocnemius: It's everywhere cashew output this year is generally poor. Sometimes this happens for two or three consecutive years and then following year it blossom again. |

Some of the bee Hives. Bait the bees... Once settled down, they are not likely to leave except for a major catastrophe like fire (or deliberate chemical spraying) |

@op. I don't think you have a big problem. I am a field agronomist with 5 years of cashew plantation knowledge. I don't know all but I can guide you. You can not get good result without spending good money to engage seasoned hands to reason your matter. Firstly, with cashew, the older the better. The older the tree the higher your yield. At 20 years after planting you should have nothing less than 10kg cashew nuts per tree. With all humility, I am one of the little agric boiz that make things happen within western agric space. You can check @adewumijnr on intagram and Facebook. Back to cashew... Yes, length and intensity of harmattan greatly affects cashew fruiting. That wasn't favourable this season. Irrespective of that your yield is too low. Do you have cashew anthracnose disease infestation? This is how you notice it. Leave necrosis(yellowing of the leaves turning brown and dry). That can reduce your yield seriously and you will not notice if you aren't an expert. Cashew is a draught tolerant crop( it means it performs optimally at dry environments. It doesn't like alluvial soil( forest soil). This brings me to the question... Do you have a soil test result you can post here for me to interpret and give you recommendations? If not, getting to the root of this might be difficult. Because your soil can be fertile and not productive( this means you can have some nutrients in abundance when actually you need them in trace quantities. Its just like hormonal imbalance in women. They will be menstrating monthly and never conceiving irrespective of coupulating at the right time). Leaching might be fighting you ( leaching means rain water or any water you use on the farm washing away the required soil nutrients beyond the reach of your tree roots for uptake) Wrong use of agrochemicals... Many things can affect your yield and they are very simple things that might be ignored. Let me leave you with this note, count all your cashew trees above 7 years and multiply the number by 10kg. That's the quantity of cashew nuts you should be getting annually on the average. God bless and increase you. 1 Like |

TheUnbeatable: Wow Just few of the trees show necrosis ( they hardly bring out flowers) I don't have a soil test results. Perhaps, I don't have any idea on how to carry out the test From eye-sighting, I think the soil is fertile and leaching is not a problem at all. |

Gastrocnemius: It depends on the type of soil/land were it was planted & i advice you people should contact an agricultural consultant |

TheUnbeatable: We do plant yam on the land before the cashew took over. We usually have a good harvest. |
