The yield potential 16tonnes per acre at maximum when good management is taken into practice. The onion has an excellent shelf life and can be transplanted long distances without damage

Nursery Establishment

  • All onions are raised on a nursery bed before being transplanted onto the main seedbed once 1acre requires an average of 1-1.8kgs of seed depending on the variety and irrigation method used.
  • The plot should be prepared by digging and mixing the soil with well decomposed farmyard
  • For ease of nursery management practices such as weeding and irrigation, ensure thenursery bed is 1.2m wide and of a conventional length.
  • Make shallow drills of 1cm – 2cm depth at a spacing of 15cm – 20cm apart. Thinly sow the seeds and cover them lightly using soil or well decomposed and fine farmyard manure.
  • At this point you can drench your nursery using a bio-stimulant, fungicide and insecticide to control against early attack of soil borne diseases and pests.
  • Germination takes place in about 5-
  • Depending on environmental conditions, irrigate your nursery in the morning hours but maintain a damp condition during the 6weeks of seed raising in the nursery.
  • On the 6th week when seedlings have 3-5 leaves trim them and apply a fungicide to prevent attacks from Downey mildew. This facilitates more root development, more plant vigor and large
  • Seedlings are ready for transplanting when they have 3-5 well formed leaves
  • Before lifting the seedlings, the nursery bed should be irrigated a day before to avoid root damage of the seedlings.
  • The seedlings should be transplanted in rows 15-20cm apart and 8-10cm from one seedling to the At this spacing, the onions utilize fertilizer and manure applied efficiently which in turn makes onions mature fast and maximize yield per unit area. NOTE: During transplanting, don’t burry the onion seedlings more than 1inch into the soil.

Nutritional Requirement 

  • At planting, application of phosphorous is crucial as this acts a starter solution that invigorates young seedlings growth. One can choose to apply NPK or CAN. o After 2-3weeks when the seedlings have established, a top dress using a nitrogenous fertilizer is A second and third top dress split might be necessary depending on the soil analysis results
  • Foliar fertilizers can be applied in between the basal fertilization splits to maximize on nutrition required during
  • Once the bulbs start to form and push away the soils, minimize on Nitrogen application as this can lead to delayed maturity due to thick necks and soft o Since onions develop slower than other vegetable crops, they are more susceptible to weed competition especially during early stages of growth which can result to yield losses.
  • Weeds can be controlled by using pre or post emergence herbicides by using only registered products. Care should be taken to avoid damage to the bulbs when carrying out mechanical weeding.

Sweet Corn Royalty

Sweet corn royalty is a medium-sized, high yielding, disease resistant, hybrid seed.

  • Ear height: 70 cm
  • Cob length: 20 cm
  • Cob colour: Golden yellow
  • Maturity days: 55 days
  • Tolerances: Stewarts Wilt, Northern Corn Leaf Blight and Southern Corn Leaf Blight

Planting Advice:

  • Grow sweet corn in a spot that receives plenty of sunshine, in soil enriched with a lot of well-rotted organic matter.
  •  Seeds may be sown directly outside once the soil has warmed up, the safest way to sow is into pots or trays,
  •  Sowing two seeds to each module, 1 inch deep then removing the weakest of the two seedlings. They should germinate in 7 to 10 days.
  • Corn should be about 15 cm tall by the time you’re ready to plant them outside. Harden off the plants by leaving them outside for about a week.
  • Use a balanced fertilizer, spread evenly, and work it into the soil 3 to 4 inches deep.
  •  Sweet corn is wind-pollinated, so instead of planting in a long row, set your plants out in a block for the highest chance of success. If the corn isn’t well pollinated, it will be missing many of the kernels from the cob.
  • Try to retain as much of the soil around the roots when transplanting. Plant sweet corn 18 cm apart in both directions.
  • Remove any weeds that pop up within your sweetcorn by hand and continue while you are still able to get between the plants
  • It appreciates watering in dry weather, as the silks appear and the cobs begin to form.
  • The cobs are ready to pick when the tassels at the end turn dark brown, usually around six   weeks after first appearing.

Swisschard Fordhook Giant

Planting advice:

When to Sow March to August, but best in March or July/August.

How to Sow: Either indoors in modules/small pots with 1-2 seeds per unit and remove the weaker seedlings. Transplant out when large enough in spring spacing 15-25cm apart. Or direct sow thinly once the soil has warmed up in April-July into drills

2.5cm deep by 30cm.

Care: They must be kept watered in summer to prevent bolting, but if some do start to bolt just cut down the middle stem and give them a good water. Keep picking leaves to encourage new ones, and during winter take off old ones before they begin to rot & affect other leaves. Chard is not hardy but is tough enough to survive most winters, just cut off any mushy leaves and it will begin to re-grow when the weather warms up.

Harvest: 10 weeks after sowing, March ones will be ready late May onwards & August sowings will be October onwards. It is a biennial so will last 2 seasons.
