After clearing, pre planting herbicide application commenced. Pre planting herbicide application is important because it help to suppress weed intensity. Weed is a menace in agriculture, it competes with the crop for space, sunlight, water, nutrients etc.

Glyphosate was used for this operation.

Thanks a lot Boss


One quick question still in the spirit of the whole forum getting educated. In events of maize.plants getting sprayed such that they appear burnt, should farmers just forget about them and replant completely ?

Kobojunkie:
Protect your farm from cattle invasion by planting weeds poisonous to cattle(about 1 meter in width) all around the edge of your farm(length and breath). So many farms have been decimated by cattle in the last couple of years. It is high time farmers begin to more effectively defend their crops and livelihoods.

Another thing you can also do is spread rumours around through even the other farmers that you and other farmers have taken to planting poisonous grass in your farms to help curb the giants called cattle. The rumour may not work immediately but may cause the cattle herders to become wary of farms and growths in your area.

Boycotting their meat altogether is additional way of deterring them from going through your area. They have to go buy to feed their cattle and also to possibly reach your markets. If the demand for the plants are poisonous for their cattle and demand for their meat significantly reduced, they would definitely look for other places to forage and also to sell their meat.

wetin You go talk if I tell you say Fulani no dey near our street and the one behind it?
Of course that didn't happen without serious wahala. Me go cut you and the Malu. Got so serious that One day, they waitied for me on the road and 3 of them attacked me. both them + Me were surprized how I survived. of course I never attempted to run else that would have been my end. I fought back despite their 3 cutlasses, I managed to wound and over power them.

Funny enough, na Community dey give them power. Not all the COWs are owned by the Fulanis. In fact most are even owned by Oga of Soldiers and Area Commander of Police. Even community head sef dey follow get.

Well after everything, they tried coming thinking I would get scared due to what happened and the injury I sustained BUT I let them know that now, it would be worse.
Before na only beating I dey beat Malu, after that encounter, na Cut I dey cut Malu + you wey dey lead them if I cat any. So tey even dem Oga beg me say anyTime I see them, I should call him BUT I told him I am not interested in calling anyOne. Tell your people what routes to never pass through.

NowAdays, we greet, and I even greet them if I see them on the road BUT it ends there.

It's been close to 4-years now, all dey avoid our street and the street behind.

Another na Goat and I took care of those also. Me go just LAME your goat, carry am put for middle of road. Now even the One wey dey form Soldier don build PEN for him goat while the GOATs sef don get sense. Dem dey avoid our street join.

So you see, continue crying and nothing changes. me no wan die BUT I still no fear to die.

Funny enough, Most fellow community members would support you in FRONT but behind you, na opposite. Glad I ain't the type that moves with crowd.

Una go continue to cry till the day you dry youe TEARs and do something about it.

Esude007:
before u can blame the variety, did u follow gap?

(1) What was your spacing.

(2) what is the population of crop per acre

Population plays an important role in the yield.

You are expected to plant 20kg of this sc510 per hectare.

Meaning a population of 53,333 per hectare

We have 2.5 acre in 1 hectare.

Meaning 21,333 per acre.


Did u monitor This?
