Easier said than done. I advertised calling for investors of as little as 200,000 Naira each x six persons on this forum for over two years. Do you know that only one person turned up and thanks to God I am paying him this month

Bring the funds, partner with we rural dwellers. We will farm. As I type I just harvested maize this morning and heading for the farm.

Cool and well done. But starting with a negative remark is not good. You know whether I wan invest? Trust takes time and an essential commodity. Does an average Nigerian have that?

People would like to invest but due to experience with some "farm", some will find it difficult to trust anyone with their money.
Besides, agriculture is a very risky business. With the climate change challenge this year.
Keep doing what you are doing, you may not even need investors again as you grow.

How do you get to dry your corn? The weather is so cloudy this days that I have to spread corn everywhere even in my sitting room to avoid them getting mouldy and germinating

Off all things i fear in farming, its stolen harvest i fear the most......
Farmers are among the most monitored people in rural communities, if you dont have presence on the farm, you just fed the nation for free.....
Seriously. Ones hard sweat will become wasted efforts.

This is my problem with agriculture in Nigeria. We keep using toxic pesticides on our food chain that have been banned in other countries.

Atrazine, Paraguay and glysophhates are banned in many countries but they are in widespread use in Nigeria no wonder cancer
in on the increase and our exports are banned from entering some countries.

Best 4 armyworm is wormforce and punch. Chlorpyrifos also good

Wormforce or caterpillar force? Wormforce is normally used for treating soil against nematodes.

Is it cheap ?

Where do the jobless youths get at least 600,000-750,000 Naira to do this ?

Did your government provide 1 Million Naira grant to unemployed youths and they refused to get engaged ?
You don't need to have 600000 to start farming. .

Sorry you don't have land in your village. What Logisticss you need.
Farming does not need English grammar. I'm not in Nigeria but I have farm in Nigeria. So what does relocation has to do author Farming.
Moreover if have a piece of land anywhere even in Abuja or Lagos , you plant pepper and some fww.tnings at the back of your house

Smilesssssssssss, u are not in Nigeria and you have a farm in Nigeria.
Your workers are really trying for you, hope you are paying them well. Planting pepper at the back of your house isn't for commercial purposes.
Commercial farming can't be done at home...

Thanks for the insight. Can I make use of just one instead of the two products ?

Can you be kind to list two or three product names I can look for on the market that contain these active ingredients?

go for either thiram or carbendazine..

It will help to give a nice start to your seed.

because what u get from your hervest is called grains.

After u prepare it with carb or Thiram, thats when u get a seed.

Are these the names I should tell the Agro chemical sellers ? Are these produces recognized by these names ?


Do I have to use both or either of both ?

Thanks a lot. I am very grateful. You're a very resourceful person. Just that Nigeria never taps into her human potentials


Final question, what quantity of either of the chemicals do I need to coat like 40 kg seeds ? I like to make the right call about the quantity I am meant to purchase
