LAND PREPARATION/SOIL TYPE
• Deep well drained loamy soils with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 is ideal.
• Effective rooting depth is 60 cm. Plough and harrow to a 60cm fine tilth seedbed.

PLANTING AND TRANSPLANTING
• Sow directly by drilling in the farrows 1 to 2 cm deep at a seed rate of 0.5-1kg or raise seedlings in nursery beds and transplant 6 to 8 weeks later.
• Transplant during cool part of the day (early morning or late afternoon) to avoid wilting of seedlings.
• Space the plants at 40 cm between plants and 100 cm between rows to give a plant population of 6,250 plants /hectare.

FERTILIZER PROGRAMME

Someone once said, "If you fail to plan, you have just planned to fail".

Write a Farm Action Plan for the year. Here are 7 pililars that you need to cover in the Action Plan.

Use the acronym "HARVEST", to help you memorize this.

1.🔹 H- Human Factor. Start with your farm employees. Plan for recruitment, training, staff welfare, motivation, performance review & rewards.

2.🔹 A - Asset Base. Invest in your infrastructure. Resuscitate vandalized assets. You obtained it, but can you maintain it?

3.🔹 R - Return on Investment. How can you make more profit from the same plot? What leakages need mending?

4.🔹 V - Value. If you cant go for volume, go for value. If you cant go extensive, go intensive.

5.🔹 E - Effectiveness & Efficiency.

If you are growing the right crop, you are effective.

If you are growing the crop right, then you are efficient.

6.🔹 S- Seasonality. How can you maximize on the seasons? What can you grow off-season? How can you shorten or lengthen your season.

7.🔹 T - Target Market. Don't you need to upscale your market? How best can you widen & deepen your reach?

For your Action Plan to be effective, it should be specific rather than generic. Write clear timelines for each of the 7 pillars.

To help jog your memory, just remember the acronym "HARVEST".
