We plan to intercrop egusi and maize on 3 acres of virgin land. It's too small to get a tractor to plough it. We don't really like fertilizer and we prefer organic manure. But someone said we don't need that for virgin land. Is that correct?

Nobody has ever farmed there. So all the manure from every plant and animal that ever died there is there.

You don't need any additional fertilizer, the land is fertile already since it's a virgin land so, continue with your farming without fear

Mist virgin land have excellent fertility and does not require any fertiliser
