This Is The Reason Farmer Struggle Financially? by Rkiki: 11:52am On Jul 18, 2022 |
Did u have challenge in your farming business? We all face these problems and how do we Increase yield and have returned income. I understand as an agronomist for some years that the cost of production in farming is on a high side most farmers put in a lot of effort both physically and financially yet the output are not commensurate. So what is the way to minimise cost of production? Let break it down into Bricks and rigs. Break down Land lease (1 acre) - 150k Land clearing 1 plot(25k) x 6 = 300k Planting media (maize seed) 1plot (1bag =2500) 6plot planting by 20mx30m spacing = 10k Inorganic fert: NPK 15-15-15 (Golden super 50kg) (40k) for 2plots for 6plots 240k Pesticides : Force-up 1litre (non selective ) = 4200 Weeding :1plot (20k x 6plots) = 120k may twice for in 3-4months Looking from the producer side the bulk of money is spent on fertilizer. Now considered the possibility of reducing it below 80% yes I mean 80%. It cost 25k for 5litres (5000ml) and how do you use this? 1ml to 5litres of water using 15 litres Knapsack sprayer, 3ml to one Knapsack tanks. When spraying with single mouth noozle it cover 30mx22m = 672sqm (1 plot) for 1 acre 672x6 =4044sqm (1 acre)/6ml for an acre (though it can be more for effectiveness). This will save you 80% money spent on Fertilizer. Why SuperGro? super Gro is an active liquids Organic fertilizers that work in concert with soil microbes that break fertilizers down for plant uptake. Because they don’t add excess salts and acid to the soil, organic fertilizers are beneficial in encouraging healthy soil biology rich in microbial activity example is Super Gro Organic liquid Fertilizer is liquid Soluble water Constituents. Nitrogen (N) 72g per litre (Macro) • Phosphorus (P) 45g per litre (Macro) • Potassium (K) 30g per litre (Macro) • Sulphur (S) 15g per litre (Macro) • Calcium (CA) 9g per litre (Macro) • Magnesium (MG) 7g per litre (Macro) • Iron (FE) 5mg per litre (Micro) • Iodine (IoD) 3mg per litre (Micro) • Marine Salt (MS) 1mg per litre (Micro) • Zinc (Zn) 1mg per litre (Micro).
