Oranges prefer growing in an open place where they receive atleast 4 hours of sunshine in a day with pH 5-7 and adequate manure supply.
They take 3 years to mature though start fruiting at the second year. One tree produces 200-300 fruits a season #FridayMotivation#Dearfarmers
Holes should be 2 ft deep with soil mixed with organic manure.
We also encourage farmers to use Maxyield organic fertilizer which provides essential and non essential nutrients that are very important for tree development
Its a heavy feeder tree and needs enough water supply as well.
Pests and diseases are the main challenges but can be controlled.
Make sure that you carry out weeding oftenly before spraying your plants.

One thing you need to know about citrus trees is that maximum fruits production ia during the first 3 years of well takem care of.
For Pixie, Tangerines, lemon, lime and oranges among many more fruits seedlings,
In order to grow good tomatoes and get maximum yield one is supposed to begin with Proper seed selection. Tomatoes can be classified in to two broad categories;
The OPV’S popularly known as the open pollinated varieties.
Hybrids.
Most farmers are now shifting from open pollinated varieties to hybrids because of their high production and disease tolerance.
Papaya (Carica papaya) is a perennial fruit tree widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates for its nutritive and medicinal values. It is very popular in Kenya where it is grown for both local and export markets. #MudavadiSpeaks#SundayMotivation#SundayThoughts#kot
male (staminate) – this has male parts and doesn’t produce fruits. Flowers are produced in large numbers in long dropping branches.
The female (pistillate) has female parts only. Flowers are large, situated singly or in clusters near the tree trunk and close to the base of stalk
It is pollinated through cross pollination and produces fruits that are sweetest in all the varieties.
The hermaphrodite- contains both male and female parts on the same plant thus capable of self-pollination.
Hass avocados start fruiting at 16 months , that is when all agronomical practices have been met e.g. buying good seedlings, timely planting , timely manure application, timely application of pesticides in case of any infections and water provision. #SaturdayMotivation
Although avocados are fairly resistant to drought, well distributed rainfall of between 1000-1200mm is adequate for proper crop development. They also require well drained soils to avoid root rot. The best soils are sandy or alluvial loams with pH ranging between 5 - 7.
We have the best grafted fruits and vegetables seedlings delivered to you across the country within 24 hours

#Dearfarmers So lets talk about careless mistakes people make in farming.
A simple Thread worth your time.
- Lack of proper fencing.
We invest thousands or millions into farming but fail to impose proper security measures around the farm. #WednesdayWisdom #BBIReport#farming
Frequent theft and farm invading by livestock or wild animals results from simple ignorance or failure to protect your office. (farm)
Fencing is therefore a very important aspect that you should consider before venturing into farming
Lack of financial knowledge and risk management.
Farmers ought to know the estimated profit margin before investment. Don't be so much aggressive on decision making at the start and have less equity left out. Invest only whatever you are capable of.
Martin cooper, former Motorolla Vice president is regarded as the father of cell phones. He made the first call in 1973 with Dynatac 800x phone which weighed 1kg.
The impact of this innovative in #agriculture can never be underestimated.
Ever taken a moment to think of how this world would look like without this innovation?
Cell phone has undergone a series of evolution ever since its innovation and fare to say, each evolution comes out with an improved future something which farmers and everyone else embraces.
The first sms was sent in 1992 by neil papwprth a developer through @VodafoneUK to richard a company Dr at a Christmas party.
The first cell phone took 10hours to fully charge and would last for 35 minutes and it costed 3995$. Remember, it weighed 1kg
Hydroponic gardens efficiently use water and nutrient solutions minimizing maintenance cost saving the farmer lots of money.
Plants do not struggle to find the nutrients and water hence crops growth rate is much faster. #MondayMotivation#mondaythoughts #MashujaaDay2020Kisii
Hydroponics offers an eco-friendly method for farming in Africa. Hydroponic systems require less nutrient solutions, fertilizers, or harmful chemicals to grow crops than soil-based farming.
Lets engage more on hydroponics and other modern farming systems and help you set up one for yourself at your own convenience
