Chiansky: Pls ao many litres of nicogold is required for an acre of maize farm? |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by Chiansky(m): 9:55pm On Jun 28, 2019 |
ifedola28: 1 litre is enough. |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by Nobody: 6:37am On Jun 29, 2019 |
Chiansky: Thanks |

Chiansky: Is nicogold safe for farms intercorpped with maize and Cassava? Is there a less toxic option to force-u-ron that works well? |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by Chiansky(m): 1:45pm On Jun 29, 2019 |
Egbefarm: It's not o, ur cassava done go be that, I heard about one chemical but its 6k, I don't know the name, do research on it. |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by Chiansky(m): 1:46pm On Jun 29, 2019 |
ifedola28: But when you get it read the direction of application before use. |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by OluchiDelly: 10:24am On Jun 30, 2019 |
Chiansky: She doesnt need to get it, she has it in warehouse already, , only that she is too busy to read d label to know what is meant for. Chiansky: 6k herbicides are usually d ones that kill grass-like weed(including maize n rice), the popular ones are d fluazifop families. As u v said, he should research well b4 all his maize wl be gone. |

Hi guys, Have you all heard of alfasafe? It's main function is to radiate toxin in the soil. Application method is broadcast. I use them everytime I plant maize. Best for maize farmers that dry their maize. You sell at a high price and poultry farmer and companies rush your produce. Below are pictures from my farm and when I applied it.

Re: Maize Farmers Only by Nobody: 2:07pm On Jul 07, 2019 |
Inspectahdeck: I deliberately kept off this thread because of this particular post of yours sir just to see if anyone will support you. It is time to address it. This post and that of importation of armyworm to Nigeria through seeds tell me you are a farmer who is likely to have human compassion by adhering to principles laid down for our safety. Can you see that everyone ignored because application of Alfasafe does not affect their crop yield, and cannot kill armyworm. To these farmers, it is a useless addition to the cost of production. Hehehehe. Why will they care sir? Tell me why? But this product you brought out which is as the outcome of partnership between IITA and some other companies is a must for all farmers in many countries. If any farmer is caught without applying it, he is spending time behind bars. I mean what has Nigeria done to deserve what we are passing through? Who cur.sed Nigeria? Like you said, it is a fungi in the soil called Aflatoxin , (and I strongly believe it was imported to Nigeria through smu.ggled seeds) that affects some crops, but that of corn is extremely high. A terrible toxin. I don't eat corn again. Never, and never. 100% of corn sold fresh are filled with Aflatoxin, but the simple solution is to use what you prescribed here. See, they will not prescribe this, they will not buy it, and they do not want to know about it. But chemicals.....their ears stretch like the antennas of rabbits. Hehehehe. They must make sure they draw the details of chemicals out of ones mouth. You don't tell them, they are filled with rage. They bounce on you from no where, and they build up irrelevant issues against you. I have been victim for many years, but I stopped that no.nsense. Let them go to places. Who cares about them? My oga sir, I hope you get where I am coming from now when I cried out about chemical prescription here. Dem no send at all. The rate of cancer is getting too high in Nigeria. Terribly getting high. The only language farmers who do this understand is violence and counter stubb.ornness that is more powerful than theirs. I am obliged to cry out to tell everyone about this ma.dness. They are desperately wic.ked. Any farmer who does not apply aflasafe but is aware of its necessity is a de.vil. It is simple as ABC. If such farmer comes online to face me, I will face him back. If I show rasc.ality to stop such cra.zy farmer from ki.lling Nigerians, I am justified. If we all keep silent because some feel we need to compose ourselves well online in their own definition, then, our life expectancy will soon drop to 30 years of age in Nigeria. Sir, this is one of my mission in this Agric thread. To show farmers that chemicals can be used, but we must follow the rules. When the soil is treated well, we will need less chemicals. And when we use products like Alfasafe, we are protecting ourselves. Gradually, the toxins will be eradicated, and we can put to shame the wicked people who developed the fungi in their laboratory just to sell their products. It may even be the people who created Alfasafe that developed Alfatoxin...hehehehe. That is the irony of life. Aflatoxin is associated with stunted growth, delayed development, liver damage, and liver cancer. Children are more affected, and animals have zero immunity to it. So, no animal feed producer will ever use corn seed with Aflatoxin. But I doubt farmers formulating feed in Nigeria are aware. They return to complain feed formulation does not work, whereas it's the Aflatoxin in the corn that messes them up anytime they formulate feed. I know many farmers who grow corn to make feed for their poultry, but at the end, their feed are of poor quality. The only issue was Aflatoxin in the corn they used, and they come online to ru.bbish feed formulation. Sir, some farmers are deaf. This gentleman approach you use is like you are wasting your Internet data plan. What they need is force. In fact, the average Nigerian needs to be pushed. Police and the authority are not exempted. By the time this cancer campaign is serious and people start shouting on farmers and the police, thenafter, many farmers will start compiling. But not until many have tasted prison corn made with special aflasafe. Hehehe. I am always afraid to eat fresh corn. It scares me so much despite I love it so much. 1 Like |

Re: Maize Farmers Only by stagger: 3:04pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
Pistotita: The fungus in question is Aspergillus Nigra. It is black in colour and produces the toxin known as Aflatoxin. I have used it and I believe it costs N5,000 for a hectare's application. Aspergillus also affects and produces aflatoxin in groundnuts. |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by Nobody: 3:45pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
stagger: Yes, the toxin is Aflatoxin. The fungi responsible are two: 1. Aspergillus parasiticus and 2. Aspergillus flavus. There is another called Aspergillus Niger which is responsible for Ochratoxins, and not Aflatoxin. Aspergillopsis Nigra is another name for Aspergillus Niger which I believe is the you mentioned. These ones affect cheese, wine, etc. But really, these things are broad that they keep linking with themselves. Perhaps A. Nigra/ A. Niger is also responsible for Aflatoxin, not so sure. But these things are too broad with new results frequently. Thank you for pointing my attention to it. |

Quick question bro. Is it OK to apply fertiliser in the same hole with a maize seed? Pistotita: |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by Nobody: 6:45pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
numen:It's the best if you can do it as long as it's diluted with the soil so it does not burn the young seedlings as they emerge, but it's time consuming. Therefore, fertilization depends on your planter design. Or if it's just for seed only, have someone run fertlizer side placement beside the rows. It is better placed beside seeds than not apply at all. Or if you can, draw a line at a distance from the seeds along rows, place fertilizer and cover. Can be hard if doing large expanse, but can be used if still 1 ha with fast boys. From my experience, grains production is team work. 1 Like |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by numen(m): 6:58pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
Thanks for the response. I was asking because am considering purchasing a dual chamber seed planter that applies fertiliser as it plants. I was hoping it's ok to do so. From your response, I gather the only worry is "the fertiliser should be dissolved by rain or irrigation before the seed germinates?" Pistotita: |
Re: Maize Farmers Only by Nobody: 8:48pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
numen: No. My concern is that when the fertlizer is disolving, it should be diluted with soil to bring the ph up so that it will not be too acidic and burn your roots. I prefer it dissolve gradually so it will not hurt the roots. Also, I prefer it last longer there. You can use it on a small portoon, and check how the seeds and fertilizer are placed next to each other. 1 Like |

numen: Hi numen, In case you want to buy the 2 in 1 maize planter that applies fertilizer at same time, I have a new one for sale (it has never been used and has all the accessories intact). I wanna sell it at giveaway price of 40k. Other sellers sell for above 50k. I'm in abuja if you are interested. Shoot me an email. I respond fast. Thanks! 1 Like |

Now I'm going to give someone opportunity to make money from my farm. I have over 80000 stands on my maize farm, I will pay 1.5 naira for each 10000 fresh maize you can help me sell, email me if interested. Mostly if you are in ibadan or ogun state. Note, 80000 maize can be sold in a day if you have the right market. |
