Hello Martin Mwangi. We planted several long season varieties in different areas of the farm. Some single and others double cobbers. Details of the same are available in agro-input shops near you.
Hello Toussaint Kodjo. NPK fertilizers contain Nitrogen, Phosphorous & Potassium in different ratios. Mixing that with urea only increases the Nitrogen Level. At planting, what is rrquired in high quantities is Phosphate. So increasing N may not help and will end up leaching or disappearing into the air. Best time to apply is at 6 weeks and do rhe right quantity
Hello Nelson Mukuka. For some areas, we removed tassel & leaves so you can see the cob. Since cob has reached maturity, it won't affect filling of grain. Also we do that to allow sunlight light inside so we can plant crops like beans
Hello Daniel Mwangi, Depending on your strategy either crop is profitable depending on season. Farm-gate value for those harvested green for roasting is 200,000ksh (1,562USD). When dry & shelled is 248,000ksh (1,941USD). For those with large farms, they would rather sell dry & shelled because U can't get buyers to consume like 50 acres crop

Hello Nelson Mukuka.
