WHO CAN BE A FARMER?? * Any farmer will tell you anyone can farm, but not everyone can be a farmer. There are certain traits that are necessary to have as a farmer that most people don’t possess. * Patience: Farmers tend to have a lot of patience and definitely need it in order to deal with the surprises that may come their way with their livestock, crop, equipment and weather. * The Weather : Farmers watch the weather every day to make sure their crop and livestock aren’t dramatically affected. Their ability to monitor weather conditions allows them to understand what they need to do when it comes to growing, harvesting, and selling their crop as well as producing feed for their livestock. * Risk Taking: Farmers take huge risks every year. The quality and health of their livestock and crop is never guaranteed. Factors such as the weather and local economic conditions can drastically affect a farmer’s business. But as a farmer, risks just need to be taken. * Hard Work: As a farmer, some years and seasons are worse than others and require more work. But farmers keep on going and work through the tough times in order to produce product for their communities. * The Environment: Farmers know better than anyone that preserving the environment is important. They constantly continue to make improvements to their land and the environment so they can have better crop seasons in the future. * Therefore, be encouraged, be motivated ,be dedicated and be proud as a farmer. Greetings to u all,from the stable of SEEDWORLD LTD 07082638957 .Do call us for your hybrid seeds for better productivity and great farming experience this season. |

WHY YOU NEED COCOPEAT FOR NURSERY OF MOST VEGETABLE SEEDS LIKE TOMATOES /PEPPER. Coco peat increases the porosity of the potting mix. This helps to keep the soil loose and airy helping in better root growth. Better root growth results in better plant growth and higher yield. Coco peat increases the water holding capacity of the potting mix even as it increases the porosity of the soil. This ensures that the plant does not suffer from overwatering or underwatering. High porosity, high water holding capacity and high cation exchange capacity together mean that the quantity of coco peat required per plant can be very less. Coco peat has excellent properties that make it a very forgiving hydroponic (soilless) medium. Being an organic medium it has high Cation Exchange Capacity allowing nutrients to be absorbed and released to the plants according to their need. Unlike peat, coco peat is easy to rewet. Dry coco peat is very hydrophilic and quickly absorbs water making it easy to use. Unlike inorganic medium such as perlite, vermiculite or rockwool, coco peat can be compressed to one fifth or less of its volume reducing transportation, storage and handling costs. Coco peat is a renewable media. It is extracted from the husk of coconuts. Coco peat contains natural trichoderma which acts as a Bio agent against harmful pathogens. It provides a great environment for beneficial fungi and bacteria to grow. Coco peat can be pressed into a variety of shapes and sizes to suit all growing applications. Coco peat mixed with coconut husk chips provides all the advantages of coco peat while increasing the drainage of the mix.

Re: Seedworld For All Your Hybrid Seeds by Seedworld: 7:18pm On Mar 02, 2018 |
A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE ON HOW TO CULTIVATE HOT PEPPER FOR PROFITABILITY. Cultivating vegetables for profit can be a very attractive engagement as there are many options of crops at your disposal but few stands in the way of hot pepper. One of the few factors that determine the profitability of cultivating any crop is the demand which is directly connected to the consumer base. Pepper surely has a very wide consumer base no doubt and this makes it a very attractive choice. Nevertheless, as it is with many vegetable crop farming, cultivating pepper whether on commercial scale or otherwise comes with challenges. There are two major types of hot pepper: habanero and chili. Your choice should be market driven. Going by my location, the former sells faster than the latter but this may not be applicable in your case. I would be enlightening you on the steps you need to take to make farming pepper a huge success. 1. LAND PREPARATION : Field preparation can take place simultaneously with nursery establishment since it is expected of nursery care to take 3 to 4 weeks period. Soil type is usually sandy loamy but not soggy soil with a pH range of 6-7. The forms of bed to be made depend on the season and irrigation method you intend to use. The rule of thumb is that you use high bed during wet season and a bit of low beds during dry season. Make sure the soil is well worked to enable ease of root penetration. You may want to mix the soil with adequate quantity of manure and compost before transplanting. 2. NURSERY PREPARATION : Farming methods and techniques are factor of season you are in. Using one size fit all approach doesn’t work most of the time. Pepper would surely require nursery preparation irrespective of the season. These are the factors to note: (a) Seed procurement : Procure seeds from reliable sources mainly based on recommendation from people who have planted similar varieties in your geographical location. The use of good viable Open pollinated seeds and or heirloom pepper is also an option but do note that, choosing a good cultivar would ensure resistance to diseases and good yield. In addition, there are numerous cultivars of hot pepper going by sizes, shapes, colour and hotness (heat); your choice must be guided by market sentiment. In my locality, local retailers and consumers believe that small sized habanero is more hot and poignant than the bigger type. (b) Nursery type : You can decide to raise your nursery on seed beds, nursery trays, cups or nursery bags. For the seed beds, ensures that the seeds are well spaced on the shallow seed rows and lightly cover with soil. As for the nursery bags, seeds trays and nursery cups, plant one seed per hole or container. Make sure the soil is continuously moist but not waterlogged during the period before germination. Germination starts between 7 to 12 days after sowing the seeds. Ensure you properly cover the nursery from the direct sunlight to prevent scorching by the sun which may cause seedlings’ death. (c) Grow medium: As for the seed beds, it is vital you enrich the soil with old or industrial manure, compost in order to supply essential nutrients to the seedlings and give them good start in life. As for the seedling trays, use quality coco peat while the nursery cup or bag should also contain rich soil with a lot of old manure. (d) Soil drench: You may want to apply fungicide as soil drench to prevent damping off and also as folia spray (Active ingredients: metalaxyl and or macozeb) after two weeks especially during wet season. (e) Liquid fertilizer: You may also decide to apply folia fertilizer to supply essential micro-nutrients after two weeks of germination. (f) Net house: It is essential to put your nursery into one form of net house or the other to prevent attacks from insect especially leaves feeders and cutworms. (g) Hardening: Hardening of seedlings should be done few days before transplanting. This is a process of exposing seedlings gradually to direct sunlight in order to enable them to acclimatize to life on the field/farmland beforehand. 2.TRANSPLANTING MEASURES AND SPACING : Transplanting of seedlings would take place after the seedlings spend 3 to 4 weeks in the nursery (at 5 true leaf stage). Ensure that transplanting takes place toward evening except on a cloudy day. The soil on the field should be well soaked with water on the day of transplanting and should be adequately irrigated or well moist for the first to second week after transplanting. All the seedlings may not have the same vigor therefore, choose only seedlings with strong vigor first. Ideal spacing for pepper is around 60cm x 45cm double rows per bed while the inter-bed spacing should be around 100cm to ensure adequate ventilation and also ease working the farm. 3.APPLICATION PROTOCOL : After transplanting your pepper seedlings, it is essential to apply some practices to ensure that you have good yield and quality produce. I would explain some of these practices bit by bit. (i) FERTILIZER : To have exceptional yield, a fertile soil is a must. This is where fertilizer comes in. You have a range of options before you – from green to animal manure, compost to inorganic fertilizer. Ideally, it is advisable you do soil test(Can also get soil test kit to know the nutrients available in your soil ) but if your farm is located in a place with limited access to such opportunity among other reasons, you may just submit to using ‘blind application’. A blind application of fertilizer is a practice of applying fertilizer that contains all the essential nutrients without regarding the domicile nutrients composition in the soil. It surely would work provided you provide all the ESSENTIAL micro and macro nutrients. I would give you a summary of fertilizer program for pepper. Please note, it is essential you bury fertilizer; never apply granular fertilizer by leaving it on the soil surface otherwise you may just be wasting it. ***SOLID/GRANULAR FERTILIZERS** ** NPK 15:15:15 or 20:20:0 and Double or Single Super Phosphate (DSP or SSP) at 7-10g per stand: This mixture in the ratio of 50:50 can be applied as basal during transplanting or as side dressing 5 days after transplanting. The focal nutrient here is phosphate which supports root proliferation while the Nitrogen would aid early leave formation. Potassium is not needed at all at this stage. 7g to 10g per stand can be measure using leveled cap of soda bottle. *** NPK 20:10:10 or 15:15:15 at 7-10g per stand: This should be applied 2 weeks after transplanting as side dressing. The critical nutrient needed at this stage is Nitrogen which is responsible for massive vegetative growth. This can be repeated twice or if you can afford it; every two week as targeted application in order to stem leaching. Never use only Nitrogen based fertilizer alone (unless you are a pro) such as urea for this purpose because it may cause burning effect. ** NPK 10:20:20 or 15:15:15 and Murate of Potash (MOP) at 7-10g per stand: The mixture in the ratio of 40:60 can be used. This should be used 6 to 7 weeks after transplanting as side dressing. It can be done twice. The focal nutrients here are potassium and phosphorus which are responsible for budding, flowering and fruiting. ** LIQUID FERTILIZERS : Aside granular fertilizer, you could also applied liquid fertilizer through irrigation often call fertigation. Only make sure the liquid fertilizer contains these macro nutrients in the proportion shared. In addition, it is good you provide also essential micro nutrients to promote crop resistance to diseases, good yield and healthy growth. Therefore, ensure you apply liquid fertilizer containing major micro nutrients also as folia spray especially if you have been applying only granular fertilizer. You should also spray toward evening and every 3 weeks interval isn’t a bad ideal after all. **CALCIUM FERTILIZERS : Pepper may suffer from non-biotic disease called blossom-end-rot which is as a result of calcium deficiency in the soil or inability of the plant to uptake calcium. To tackle this, use calcium based fertilizer 2 to 3 time during budding, early flowering and fruiting. 4. INSECTICIDES CHEMICALS If I begin to mention types of insect that you may encounter on your pepper farm, it may just be tantamount to wasting time of time. I would rather summarize some of the likely insect you may see into group and the likely active ingredients you should use: Biting and chewing insect: These are the class of insect that feed on the leave. Pepper hardly have much problem with this, however, you should be wary of cutworms that may cut tender seedlings after transplanting. If you are into organic farming, you may consider the use of pepper spray mix with ginger and garlic spray. As for conventional farming, use insecticide with the following active ingredients either alone or combined into one package: Lambda Cyalotrin, Cypermetrin, Profenofos, Methomyl etc. Please ensure you follow dosage rate, Post-Harvest Interval PHI and use your Personal Protection Equipment PPE. Sap Suckers: Pepper has great issues with this class of insect such as aphid, whiteflies, thrips etc. They are also responsible for transmitting viral diseases such as leaf curl and bunching top viral disease which are not curable. Viral disease is one of the major challenges of cultivating pepper. Use insecticide with the following active ingredients: Thiometoxam, abamethin, BT, Profenofos etc. Please ensure you follow dosage rate, Post-Harvest Interval PHI and use your Personal Protection Equipment PPE. 5. FUNGICIDE CHEMICALS. As for fungicide application, in dry season you may apply little to no application (unless you are doing aerial wetting) but in wet season, it is essential to use fungicide application. Use combination of contact and systemic fungicide every two weeks interval in wet season (or more regularly if heavy rainfall is regular). Some of the common fungicide are Copper spray (organic), Metalaxyl (systemic) Mancozeb and Copper hydroxide (contact). Also go for quality brands (base on recommendation) but not necessarily cheap brands. 6. HARVESTING AND PACKAGING OF PEPPER. Harvesting of hot pepper begins from around 80 days after transplanting. Most market would want it red in colour while some prefer green or greenish yellow. Please note that there are also other coloured varieties of hot pepper especially yellow when fully ripped. Harvesting would take place every 5-7 days interval. Ensure you understand the market demand/requirement before deciding what to harvest. Never harvest unripe pepper (not fully red) if your market demands for fully red one. Unripe pepper unlike tomato would not naturally turns red after harvest so make sure in this case you harvest only red ones. 7. PEPPER MARKET APPROACH Packaging materials defer base on the type or structure of intending markets. You should please understand this beforehand and follow suit. I would focus my explaination on open(general) markets in Nigeria and the commonly used packaging material. The farmers use 25kg capacity sack (Golden penny or Semo vita sack). The sack is fill and sealed at the top as seen in the picture. The sacks are carefully loaded into vehicle and transported to final destination. Never put harvested peppers in the sack and tie it up unless you are ready to transport this to the market immediately. 8. PEPPER PROFIT ANALYSIS. Your yield is directly proportional to your inputs and management practices. No two farms would have exactly the same yield from using the same variety of seeds. An average yield should be around 4-5 tons per acre. Each bag of pepper would contain averagely 30kg. This means an acre would should give you between 120 to 150 bags. The prices varied from location to another and also fluctuate according to market trend and the degree of demand/supply. An average price in Southern Nigeria market ranges from N7,000 to N20,000 per bag. This should give you an idea of profitability potential. NB. All of the above boils on good farm management practices . For quality pepper seeds purchase, do contact SEEDWORLD LTD 07082638957 (Whatapp 07082638957) 1 Like
