Propagating and growing cassava Cassava plantation is thriving well with abundance of rainfall this season
Hello Hive
When you are a foodie like me, the sight of green plant and healthy growing crops gives you so much joy that food will fill your barn.
Be it tuber or grain we grow various crops in my family.
Coming from Benue state Nigeria tha has a slogan as the food basket of the nation, you should know that I love food and can't afford to go hungry for any reason, choosing not to be lazy has helped a lot too, you can see that basically all the food I eat comes from our family farm.
We grow grains tubers, vegetables and fruits.
We have fruit plantation like palm fruits, mangoes, cashew and African star apple.
We also prepare and export cashew fruits out of Benue state.
Been in the city doesn't hinder us from growing crops in the village.
Most times I send finances and have people look after these fruit trees in the village.
But here in the city we have this farming space that we cater for some fields we have used to grow rice, beans, groundnut corn, vegetables and all the tubers and others I haven't mentioned.
Formally cassava takes two to three years for a life cycle but now we have the engineered ones that matured within a year.
This has shortened the time frame needed to grow this plant such that we can make good use of a field every year rather than wait until after 3 years to replant on the same field.
Earlier this year when we had it propagated there was no rain and you can see how dry the soil is.
Cassava has a great tolerance for the absence of water and that has kept it alive till now .
You can see the transformation of this healthy growing cassava since the rain started and become more or less constant.
You cab hit me up to give you details on how to grow cassava and if you want to venture into an agriculture, growing crops and selling farm produce.
Firstly, I'm just knowing you are from benue state,... Cassava has high tenacity and resilience, infavt you can plant cassava and abandone it, against all odds it will still thrive! So when will this be ready for harvest by your own calculation, are you adding fertilisers or you so believe in this breed to give you an excellent results
it seems that your cassava land is quite large, and it looks very fertile. thank you for sharing
