As the year 2017 is running to an end, i wish to hear testimonies from all agro-investors in the house; your gain,loss,new experience and challenges so as to encourage new farmers and help others learn.

MINE PERSONALLY

2017 i took the bold step of starting on crop production. i made a huge loss. i tried again with experience i gained from my first trial and it was a great improvement although not perfect. i believe next year i will get there.

Striker is selective. Atrazine is not. Generally, the word 'selective' is dangerous. Be careful what you spray once crop germinates. My neighbour lost his 100-acre maize this year to 'selective' herbicides.

thank u very much, just what I wanted to hear.... anybody with tested and trusted selective herbicide?

fison:

hi please i need the excel template for agriculture poultry(broiler) and catfish. somebody should please help send it to adeyemi.opeyemi90@yahoo.com. really really need it PLEASE

LucidG:


Buzz me on Whatsapp.check signature

not on whatsapp presently, can you please do it here ....ABEG

sunny777:
Please I planted this Oba seeds as early maize and I am just harvesting it now (dried), can I plant it as late maize or I still need to buy the packaged one? I still want to plant maize that will be ready by 75 days.

pleae can you help with operational details. really need the help ASAP because i plan on planting this weekend

stagger:


Paraquat and Atrazine are both herbicides. However I must say that they do not last the whole season, because I am on the verge of having to use a selective herbicide to spray again.

As per tractor work, there is:

- ploughing: initial tilling by tractor
- harrowing: splinters the ploughed soil further
- ridging: separates the soil into ridges for planting.

what is the name of the selective herbicide you wanto ue plus hope its trusted?

anybody knows about good pre emergence and post emergence herbecide? and one stupid question please how do we apply fertilizer? is it also sprayed like the herbicides

LucidG:


The only way you can have a decent yield is if your land is super fertile. Without the use of fertilizer/manure, you'll have a poor maize yield.

Don't even go near hybrid corn without fertilizer. Has a higher nutritional requirement compared to the regular op varieties.

can you please give me the step to step application of fertilizer for Oba 98 and the type and quantity of fertilizer to use per acre thanks

alakara:

nd apply fertilizers go for hybrid maize a

Thanks

[quote author=stagger post=57156253]I just got the following:

- 20kg of Oba98 at N375 per kilo from Premier Seeds: (7,500)
- Leased 1 hectare of land: 10,500
- land clearing: 20,000 (opted for manual clearing to preserve the top soil. I also want to plough in the stump remnants into the soil)
- 3 litres of Paraquat @ 1,600 each: 4,800
- 3 kg of Atrazine Powder @ 2,300 each: 6,900
- Sprayer will spray the herbicides at 10,500 for the entire hectare.
- Seed planter from China: 50,000 (could have been cheaper but I used express shipping). I plan to hire 1 person to plant the whole hectare in one day @ 5,000 max. I want to get the spacing spot on and reduce labour costs.
- Tractor hiring for tilling and harrowing: not yet negotiated.

some question bro,paraquat and atrazine powder are herbecides and insecticide respectively right?
2ndly harrowing and tilling what is their function?

TAYO124:
. Do you have sufficient rains now if so it's time to plant. In my area inadequate rain is preventing planting corn.

its still raining here...need expert advice this time, i planted open pollinated and i did not make use of fertilizer,should i go for hybrid this time?

TAYO124:
Which part of the country are you planning to plant?

Ogun State

when is it suppose to end,i planted first season maize and i get very very poor yield,yet to recover from the shock but i wanto try again

Hi Farmers In The House, Please When Are We Suppose To Start Planting Second Season Maize?
