    Do you feed the soil for long term soil building and regeneration?

    • @h_kipp
      @h_kipp  8 місяців тому +1

      It depends.. Regenerating soil can be done in many ways the common one is minimum tillage where a heavy harrow is used to mix organic matter with soil for it to rot while preparing land for maize instead of ploughing heavily to bring down fertile top soil

      Hi governor works. Personally i use lumax immediately after the crops have emerged from the soil up to 2-3 leaf stage, when weeds are actively growing.

      Immediately you spot pests. fall army worms can significantly reduce yields and make the maize rot. finding the best recommendation for pesticide to use from your local agrochemical supplier will do

      I prefer spraying pesticide routinely after 2 weeks of germination even if there arent any pests. Then a follow up when the maize is at knee size

      WEEDS: What you should know
      ● Weeds are mainly of three types, broadleaves, sedges and grasses.
      ● Weeds compete with crops for nutrients, water, and light.
      ●Weeds can be controlled manually (hand weeding), mechanically (using weeders or other implements when crops are line sown), through cultural practices (use of weed competitive crop cultivars, stale seed-beds, mulching, crop rotation) and /or chemically (using herbicides).
      ● Chemical management of weeds can be done at three stages: Pre-plant (burn-down), pre-emergence and post-emergence.
      ● Pre-plant burn-down herbicides are non-selective and are applied before you sow the crop to kill the existing weeds. These herbicides are especially important under zerotill/conservation agriculture based systems.
      ● Pre-emergence herbicides are applied after crop seeding but prior to emergence of weeds, 1-3 days after seeding or transplanting, by ensuring adequate moisture at the time of spray.
      ● Post-emergent herbicides are applied after the crop and weeds are emerged, generally at 3-4 leaf stage.
      ● Select the appropriate herbicides for specific crop considering type of weed that is a problem in the field (broadleaf, sedge or grass) and stage of weed control (i.e. pre-plant, pre-emergence or post-emergence).
