Seems like your area is so much sunny like mine... what if you do some mulching to retain moisture and reduce water loss through evaporation. And did the termites attack because of the dryness of the area especially around the root of the plant???? I would love to know
Yes. We have a lot of sun shine up to 11 hours per day currently. I think it was just an incidental thing because I water them all at the same time. That one didn't receive less water than the rest. But I think I will do mulching very soon. I have been thinkering with the idea for some time.
I was among the customers that Catherine Wambugu supplied seedlings to in Lafia through Cross Country transport from Lagos in 2019, however termites destroyed all of them. She was advising me to use Perfect Killer insecticide but it was late. You were mentioning Gefuran in the video, is it a powder insecticide or liquid e c? What of the fertilizer is it only cow manure that will make the apple grow or there are other organic materials? I would also wish to know your contact phone and email I have been thinking on the best option to raise rootstocks of apple for my farm in Lafia.
Thanks for reaching out sir. Really sorry to hear that you lost all your apple to terminate. J-Furan is some kind of small granules that you can apply to the hole and soil before planting. As for the manure, it's only cow dung I have been using and they're doing very well so far. You may reach me on WhatsApp only through 08069554334 to see how ever way I could be of help.
The soil is really poor,but u re really putting in Ur best despite the poor nature of the soil
Thanks
How old did the older trees have when they started producing?
