When you talk about lucrative Agricultural business, leafy vegetable production is one of it, it’s one of the farming in which you u can make money continuously through out the year even during dry season unlike other crops that can only be grown only during rainy season, the duration of vegetable from sowing till harvesting is just 3-4weeks, so we can continuously make money from it within shortest possible time, also in terms of market, there is market for it, people eats vegetable soup Becos of its nutrient,so one can’t venture into this business and loose, every market u go, u see ppłe selling vegetables, why, becos the demand for it is high
PLANTING IN DETAILS
1) SITE SELECTION : choose a site with sandy loamy soil, vegetable does not grow well on clay nor sandy soil.
2) PRE-PLANTING OPERATION
A) Bed making : vegetable strives well on bed, raise the bed up and this will ensure speedy growth
B) Apply manure: farmyard or compost manure should be added to the bed and shud be left for like a week for it to decompos,after that,planting can be done
3) PLANTING : this can be done via drilling or broadcasting method depending on our choice but I prefer drilling Becos it makes it organize and mature
4) POST PLANTING OPERATION : IF it’s during raining season, No p, but if it’s during dry season, irrigation system shud be provide such dat wetting is done very early in the morning and late in the evening, pls do not wet in the afternoon, it might kills d plant
PEST AND DISEASE CONTROL : This should be properly taken care of very well as it can either reduce profit or not getting any profit at all
A) to be on a safer side, green house should be constructed, this prevent pest and some disease causing organism from infestation
Also, wen Dia is observation of infestation, be4 it goes wide, prepare extract of neem or moringa and spray, if u still see symptoms again, pls uproot the infested ones to prevent contaminating the healthy ones, green house is Encouraged as it prevents this
U don’t need to waste money on seeds again as u can get seeds from d vegetables
GOD BLESS U all✋�✋�
