A mother plant and a daughter sucker is allowed to stand. You won’t be planting every season. Just one time setup and the rest is management

It's starts from Land preparation. You need to properly dig well during planting. And also ensure you have well populated field, in order for plants to serve as wind break. And also, you can have trees round your farm boundary to serve as wind break.

@@ChidavAgriculturalHub I have a 7 acres plantain farm that is now 6 months old. I’m currently dealing with the harsh Dry Season sun and I’m having some of my plants with stunted growth. I will be sending you a message on WhatsApp if that’s ok?

How to manage your newly planted suckers is by ensuring that the suckers are not in competition with any other plant. Ensure field is weed free, ok. Then, adequately manure to the plants

2 plots if that's what's available, can be used to start. But it won't give you the numbers to compete well on a larger scale. But it's a good way to start too

Well, the first thing you should do is to ensure proper maintenance practices into order to prevent any fungal attack, and ensure you use a disease free sucker when planting. Now, if you've done this and you still have a fungal problem or attack, you would need to do a combined treatment and one of the things you do is to ensure you trim out all the dead leaves or infected ones on the infected plantains and after which you apply fungicide to try to control the infection. And in severe cases, you have to uproot the plantains, so as to prevent further spread of the disease. But note, that the best treatment in the first place is to ensure that your field is well maintained, as well as follow good agronomic practices, as this would prevent any form of disease outbreak. Let me know if this was helpful.

That's why we always advice farm owners to learn to start their planting right

Well drained soil.

And when is the best time to apply it. I mean after how many months of growth..

NPK 15 15 15. From 2nd week after emergence of suckers
