This was quite insightful. The method of clearing round the root of each plantain sucker before application of herbicide is a great technique. Thanks CAH for sharing😊🙏

[@olatunjibalogun5872]

You're very correct ma'am

Been thinking on what to do with my plantain field for quite a while now.

Great

[@bonaugwunweze6565]

Thanks Chidav. Your channel is quite informative.
Please does it mean you have to replant plantain sucker every farming season on each stand given that in most cases its expected that only the mother plant will be allowed to stand for maximum yield?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

A mother plant and a daughter sucker is allowed to stand. You won’t be planting every season. Just one time setup and the rest is management

[@olufemidaniel6812]

Well done sir. This is quite insightful... I enjoyed watching the clip. Please I need to know if 2 plots of land is good enough to start up a successful plantain farming. Stay blessed as I anticipate your quick response sir.

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

2 plots if that's what's available, can be used to start. But it won't give you the numbers to compete well on a larger scale.
But it's a good way to start too

[@RoseMary-lh7mc]

Please how will you prevent plantain from falling during storm

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

It's starts from Land preparation.
You need to properly dig well during planting. And also ensure you have well populated field, in order for plants to serve as wind break.
And also, you can have trees round your farm boundary to serve as wind break.

[@henryekomabasi8994]

Pls how can I manage newly planted suckers

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

How to manage your newly planted suckers is by ensuring that the suckers are not in competition with any other plant. Ensure field is weed free, ok.
Then, adequately manure to the plants

[@bodybypriest3325]

Which soil is best for planting plantain?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Well drained soil.

[@chineduogor3405]

What will u do if fungirs
atacks ur farm

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Well, the first thing you should do is to ensure proper maintenance practices into order to prevent any fungal attack, and ensure you use a disease free sucker when planting.
Now, if you've done this and you still have a fungal problem or attack, you would need to do a combined treatment and one of the things you do is to ensure you trim out all the dead leaves or infected ones on the infected plantains and after which you apply fungicide to try to control the infection.
And in severe cases, you have to uproot the plantains, so as to prevent further spread of the disease.
But note, that the best treatment in the first place is to ensure that your field is well maintained, as well as follow good agronomic practices, as this would prevent any form of disease outbreak.
Let me know if this was helpful.

@@ChidavAgriculturalHub I have a 7 acres plantain farm that is now 6 months old. I’m currently dealing with the harsh Dry Season sun and I’m having some of my plants with stunted growth. I will be sending you a message on WhatsApp if that’s ok?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

That's ok

[@imntyourboy]

[@imntyourboy]

And when is the best time to apply it. I mean after how many months of growth..

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

From 2nd week after emergence of suckers

[@asepiosylvestersylvester-sx7wq]

[@turninggreenfarms1888]

This land does not like fertile. The owner made a fundamental error.

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

That's why we always advice farm owners to learn to start their planting right
