Hi Agroprenuers, welcome on board as I take you guys on good Agronomic practices in cassava cultivation.

(1) variety... TME 419

(2) Ploughing and ridging ongoing.

(3) Targeted plant population per hectare..(10,000 stands)

(4) spacing ( 1m by 1m).

God be with us!

Welcome to Lona farms Limited.

Ploughing I ongoing prior to ridging. Reason for Ploughing before ridging is to have a soft seedbed for the stem to yield. Targeted tonne per hectare is 20.

This is superb... With a spacing of 1m by 1m, the targeted population can be achieved... Thumbs up brother, May God bless the farm.

Cassava is the new oil money, very financial friendly.

Ridging commenced today, as some workers source for viable TME 419 stems prior to planting

Spraying of pre emergence herbicide commenced today prior to planting.

Good job. Please keep us updated with your progress.

Ridging continued

Planting commenced

Germination on point

I've been busy... Farming no easy wolai.... Manual weeding ongoing

Weeding result so far

More

More ridges making continued..as we are set to complete ridges making for the season... Weeding also continued in the germinating section as we approach dry season...

Manual weeding ke? Methinks pre emergent lasts for 3 months after application before weeds can grow.
By the way, why controlling weeds manually rather than using contact herbicide.

cost bro.... Soon dry season will come, we are Weeding manually now because, when the grasses inside dry, herdsmen can just throw fire into it during dry season.... Post emergence herbicide like potassun and gallant supper is now 10k per litre, and we have 20 hectare... 3 litre per hectare...that's expensive o... So manual Weeding is cheaper
