At this stage, any step you take will determine the
rate of your profit you make at end of the day. But I will show you how to
maximize your profit with little resources. We are to make use of 1 acre of
land as example.
Below are tools you need:
· Tape
rule or measurement device
· Rope
· Digger
· Cutlass
I will advise you to make
use of 8×8 ft which will give you 1000 stand of plantain in 1 acre of farmland.
What this simple means is that your row should be 8ft to 8ft column to each
other. This will form a cube.
You mark the field with
cutlass and u make a straight light with help of rope. You dug the hole between
40cm -50cm with help of digger. You continue with this format till the whole
field is occupied.
If you chose difference
dimension you have difference Numbers of plantain stands. If you choose lesser
than this dimension, the number of plantain stands will be more than 1000. If
you chose higher you get lesser than 1000 and these will determine your profit
at end of harvest.
But it is advisable to
give more space during spacing because plantain reproduces geometrically. A
healthy sucker will give minimum of 5 plantain stands. So if you don’t properly
space it, it will affect the rate of grown.
So it is advisable to give
enough space during planting.
