  • Maize farming under conservation Agriculture Lugari Kenya
    He is saying he expects to harvest 45 bags of maize per acre of 90kg each though he Harvested 49bags later
    He does conservation agriculture/farmimg meaning he doesn't do laborious, expensive and degenerative conventional farming. Conservation farming simply means:
    1.He does minimum tillage by doing Ripping using using oxen drawn Magoe Ripper though most farmers use Tractor drawn Ripper. And when weeding he still uses minimum tillage by using a shallow weeder which just scrabs weeds though others use selective herbicides
    2. After harvesting he rotates Cereal crop with a non Cereal crops mainly legumes
    3.after harvesting he leaves the maize stalks to cover soil though others use cover crops
    On land preparation cost he uses Magoe Ripper, he says he spends less than $10 (ksh 100 only) per acre while Conventinal land preparation in his area cost more than $60 (ksh 5000 on 1st and 2nd disc ploughing + furrow/holes preparation cost for SHF)
    He compares his maize to the imediate neighbours farm under conventional farming and the difference is evident that conservation farming guarantees a farmer better yields provided other Good Agricultural Practices area adhered to including early planning, Proper timing for every activity, choice of right certified inputs, proper crop protection as well as harvesting and post harvest handling etc.
    He receives trainings from Farm to Market Alliance Kenya #FTMA #FTMAKENYA and other previous and current stakeholders.

    Thank you Mr Peter for sharing this informative video with the whole world, I happen to watch your video by God’s Grace, I am a Maize farmer for 5 years experience big losses each years and high costs expenditures with

    That's very good, about 160 bushels per acre. That approaches the average for the American corn belt of 174 bu/ac. That's very good when you consider that the corn belt is black prairie soil and has 15 hour days in the summer.

    I went to School in Kakamega and I am wondering why these ideas can't be spread to everyone even if at a cost, perhaps sponsorship. This is one region where peasant farmers do lots of work but harvests are much less than inputs - they get negative value but they do not know. They only count maize harvest per acre, say 6 bags and they are satisfied. Ignorance.

      @@zamundaafrica4611 I agree. Although the yield looks good and healthy, that figure looks suspiciously high. In fact, more cobs per plant is not necessarily something to be proud of. It only means the crop was exposed to serious stress, maybe a period of draught. That leads to two smaller cobs, than one big one.
      That said, we have the plant spacing. The owner should give us the average number of rows per cob, and ears per row, and we can give him the expected output per acre. And that is even assuming he is achieving the minimum required grain drying.
      Will he take the challenge?
