Cost is a big impediment to irrigating sizable acres of land. I will look into that down the road. Nezzjnr: |

joyoftheearth:It's better to look at the Irrigation part cos one can't predict rainfall again But I do see some Plantain Farms without irrigation How they pull that out is a mystery to me |

A lot of plantain farms in Nigeria are done without irrigation. I will say most farming in Nigeria is without irrigation. You can tell from recent maize and rainfall issue. Nezzjnr: |

Due to the prolonged lack of rainfall, some of the plantain died and are currently being replaced. |

joyoftheearth:Wow So sorry to hear about that One has to plan for irrigation when going into this |
Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by joyoftheearth: 4:12pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
We wont be able to do irrigation at the moment but its something that will be looked at soon. Nezzjnr: |

Emempaul: hello, i got 30 -32 match box per one kilogram of npk. i want to know if it's the same with your measurement. Applying 8 match box of npk per month, will it have adverse effect on the plantain? |
Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by Emempaul(m): 5:27pm On Oct 17, 2020 |
brtrip: no it won't so long as it's not too close to the stem of the Plantain then you're good to go |

Happy New Year everyone. Our plantain farm is still going well but we only have about 40% of the interplanted maize reach maturity due to intermittent rain. The hope is to build on last year knowlegde for the upcoming plantain season. Our contracted workers will arrive at the farm next week and we will probably commence clearing the following week. |

Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by Nezzjnr: 8:55am On Jan 07, 2021 |
joyoftheearth:Wow Hope your harvest last season was top notch and how did you achieve that with just rainfall alone |
Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by joyoftheearth: 6:57pm On Jan 07, 2021 |
We will start harvesting last season plantain around Mar - Apr. These workers are for the expansion. Nezzjnr: |
