@ kedoty. Keep up the good work. Thought as much it was 719. Is it yellow or white? Late maturity? How many days to harvest? 70,80,.. |

Why opt for the late maturity hybrid? Any advantage? |

northbird: 75 DAYS |

My experience with SeedCo was disastrous. I do not want to go into it here because I filed a report with one of the senior guys in that company and heads rolled. Let's hope it is better with you. I have found Premier Seeds' OBA-98 and other OPV seeds of theirs to be worth the money. All those other exotic seeds from Pioneer, Mosanto and the rest are all junk. Even the cheap foundation seeds I got from a nairalander proved to be a stunning success when I planted them. |

northbird: It's White, Late maturity and 75 Days maturity I chose late maturity because, the yield is higher than the early maturity. |

Today's update on 10 Hecters of maize cultivation Spraying of chemicals started today. The chemical we are using is LAGON & ROUND UP LAGON is to seal the land from further growing of weeds for like 2 months. With application of LAGON weeding is not necessary. ROUND UP is to killed the remaining grasses that didn't die during ploughing and harrowing time or some weeds that have grown up during the time of planting I'm using 30 bottles of 250ml LAGON and 30 bottles of 1 litres of ROUND UP 3 Bottles of LAGON Per Hecter 3 Bottles of ROUND UP Per Hecter LAGON is 3k per 250ml bottle x 30 bottles = N90k While ROUND UP is 4k per bottle x 30 = 120k Next update will be on fertilizer application, may God keep us till then. 5 Likes 1 Share |

shariff84: Sir , pls tell me the weight ranges of a bag of dry maize packed in those northern 100kg bags....... I want to believe it is variable based on the seed weight, a friend of mine had planted pioneer before and the ogi yield from the corn is about 2.5 times that of normal varieties around but seeds look same size I really want to understand the origin of seed yield data as advertised by sellers |
Re: My Experience Cultivating 10 Hecters (25 Acres) Of Maize Farm Land by staga: 9:35am On May 04, 2022 |
betabread: Seed yield as stated by sellers are as obtained under laboratory controlled conditions. They do not reflect what you find in the field where soil quality, pests and crop maintenance practices vary. Last year, I modified my seed planter to deliver urea, which I applied only once when the plants were 4 weeks old. The results I got from this singular change of methodology in fertilizer application was stunning. |

Your corn is nearing 2 months now and y are preparing for harvest...... At this stage i ask, are u selling fresh or dry, If u are selling fresh the price of fresh corn has dropped, there is glut in the fresh corn market currently, but if are going to dry your corn please state the strategy you would use to dry ur corn, i want to believe the coming august break is too short a time to dry out ur corn as any little moisture in d nteak will lead to either fungus over growth or seeds germinating on cobs |
Re: My Experience Cultivating 10 Hecters (25 Acres) Of Maize Farm Land by Taigaban: 5:55am On Jun 08, 2022 |
Kedoty:Sorry please You didn't tell us how many seeds per stand and the spacing. For me I planted five seeds per stand, but ended up having four and three surviving. Strong wind brought down some. I just harvested mine yesterday, but noticed some stands has flowers but never bear seeds. |
Re: My Experience Cultivating 10 Hecters (25 Acres) Of Maize Farm Land by mastervick4glo: 6:04am On Jun 08, 2022 |
betabread: please I have a question for every maize expert. selling fresh versus selling dry which one is more profitable.? |
