How I Converted An Abandoned Land In My Area Into A Sesame Farm. by Esude007: 10:34am On Oct 19, 2023 |
Good day fellas, I want to take u guys on my journey of preaching good Agronomic practices in farming. On the 14th of August, I took the soil sample of the abandoned field, I did the test myself because I have a soil testing kit, I found out that the soil ia deficient in Nitrogen, so I am set. On the 15th of August, i started planting. 4 cups of pure sesame seed ( ncriben 04e ) was planted with the help of some young kids in my area. I used dibbling method because the land was strong. Some boiz done turn am to football field ![]() 54 Likes 8 Shares

Funny enough, this is the most less stressful farming to venture into. The only issues with sesame farming is that the moment it is time to harvest and you extend the time even if it is by just a week, you're sure of loosing almost half of the farm because it may spill open and then the whole grains will otilo. 60 Likes 3 Shares |

Since this post made frontPage, you haven't added any educative content to it. Just dey gather comments and Likes. Even when asked questions, you rarely respond, and even when I asked a valid straight forward question, na political response you give. Still I appreciate the likes of @gidjah and others who have educated us wey no sabi one way or the other. According to @Curious345, "This crop gives you just 300kg per hectare" . For those who don't know what a Hectar is, an Acre is 6-Plots of land, while a Hectar is 15-plots of Land. So @Esude007 (Op) is gonna get just one paint rubber of sesame seed harvest from this farm. Now that's highly unlikely since there would be other factors that could REDUCE his outPut. ...but @stagger said "I actually have sesame planted on half a plot which I was told can yield me up to 1 bag." finally OP (@Esude007) said "if u plant Ncriben 04e, u can get 10 bags per hectare,That isif u adhere to good Agronomic practices." But @Curious345 responded to OP's claim that a hectar (about 15-plots) could produce up to 10-bags by saying "this one na Ai farmerππππ don't let google break your heart ooo" Also @billyG said "That crop is a lucrative cash crop,d international demand is more than d supply,it main setback is you need several acres of land to get good bags at harvest to really hammer.which will be capital & labor intensive....those who make it is middlemen who buys from several farmers hoard it & sell to exporters. @Ignyte asked OP (@Esude007) many questions, but OP asked to be sent a whatsApp message instead. Wonder why OP didn't respond in here for the benefit of forum users. 2 Likes |
