🌍 Happy New Month, Farmers.
November is here, another great opportunity to keep our farms active and productive. What crops are you planting this month? And have you set up your irrigation system yet?

The dry season is fast approaching, so maintaining a steady water supply is key to healthy growth and good yield. Whether you’re using drip, sprinkler, or any other method, make sure your irrigation is working efficiently.
Let’s keep farming smart and ensuring food security, even in the dry season.

🌍 This is sesame, also called beniseed, an important oilseed crop cultivated widely in Nigeria. It produces small, nutrient-dense seeds rich in oil that is used for cooking, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

The plant grows well in well-drained sandy-loam soils and is highly tolerant to drought, which makes it suitable for both northern and southern parts of the country. It matures within 90 to 120 days, forming slender pods that dry and split open to release the seeds.

Sesame is also valued in crop rotation systems for improving soil structure and requiring little fertilizer. With increasing local consumption and export demand, it remains one of Nigeria’s most profitable and sustainable cash crops.

🌍 Happy Sunday. Africa is richly endowed with fertile soils, favorable climates, and resilient crop varieties that naturally perform well across the continent. The key challenge is not lack of resources, but how those resources are managed. When land is properly utilized through smart planning, good agronomic practices, and strong support for farmers, the continent can produce more than enough to feed itself. With the right approach, Africa moves from food dependency to food security and even becomes a major supplier to the global market.

🌍 The legal cannabis industry in South Africa and Zimbabwe is expanding rapidly, yet the benefits are not reaching the smallholder farmers who have cultivated the crop for generations. Despite new regulations permitting medicinal and industrial production, the extremely high cost of licenses, greenhouses, and compliance has made legal participation accessible only to wealthy investors and large companies.

Meanwhile, rural farmers who historically relied on cannabis to support their families remain largely excluded and continue operating in informal markets. This deepens existing inequalities and mirrors patterns seen in other commercial crops where the value chain favors capital over community.

To ensure cannabis becomes genuine “green gold” for local economies, policies must change. Affordable licensing tiers, farmer cooperatives, local processing hubs, and community–investor partnerships are key steps. Most importantly, traditional growers’ knowledge and role must be recognized. With inclusive reforms, cannabis has the potential to strengthen rural livelihoods rather than marginalize them.

🌍 The black, sunken patches you see on this pepper fruits are symptoms of Blossom End Rot. This is a physiological disorder caused by calcium deficiency during fruit development. This condition often results from irregular watering, rapid vegetative growth due to excess nitrogen, or poor calcium uptake from the soil.

To manage it, maintain consistent soil moisture, apply calcium nitrate or CalMag foliar spray, and avoid overuse of nitrogen fertilizers. Since it's already mulched, ensuring good soil aeration will also help prevent recurrence. Prompt correction will stop further fruit damage and restore healthy pepper production.

🌍 Onion growth and yield in Nigeria depend largely on matching the right variety to local climate and daylight conditions. Varieties such as Red Creole and Grano 502 perform excellently in the warmer, humid environments of Oyo, Ogun, and Osun because they are short-day onions that form bulbs under 10–12 hours of daylight.

On the other hand, northern long-day types like Ex-Kirikass and Bima Red require longer daylight (13–16 hours) and cooler, drier air. When grown in the South, they continue producing leaves without proper bulb formation, leading to poor yield and low market value.

The high humidity in southern zones also promotes fungal diseases and rapid respiration, which affect bulb quality and shorten storage life. Short-day tropical onions such as Red Creole and Grano 502 are naturally adapted with tighter skins, lower moisture content, and better resistance to rot, making them more profitable for humid regions.

🌍 In many parts of Nigeria today, people are turning uncompleted buildings, structures without roofs or floors into farmlands. A remarkable example is a lady in Kogi State who just harvested cassava tubers from an abandoned site. Her plan is to process them into garri, one of our most consumed staples.

This trend reflects the growing creativity and resilience among Nigerians facing food insecurity and land scarcity. Instead of allowing uncompleted buildings to rot away, people are reclaiming them as productive spaces. The exposed ground within these structures, often enriched with organic materials over time, provides a surprisingly suitable environment for crops like cassava, potatoes, and vegetables.

It’s a clear sign of adaptation, a response to harsh economic realities, rising food prices, and limited access to farmland. Urban and peri-urban dwellers are proving that with determination and innovation, food can be produced anywhere.

🌍 In cucumber production, the flowering stage serves as a clear indicator of the plant’s internal balance and response to field conditions. When only male flowers appear for a long period, it’s often a sign of excessive nitrogen fertilization, prolonged sunlight, or high temperature. These conditions increase gibberellin activity in the plant, which promotes male flower formation while suppressing ethylene the hormone that triggers female flower development. Adjusting fertilizer schedule toward more phosphorus and potassium can help correct this imbalance and encourage female flowers.

The dropping of female flowers without fruit formation is largely due to poor pollination or environmental stress. Inadequate moisture, high heat, or nutrient deficiencies disrupt the balance of auxins and cytokinins hormones that control fruit retention, causing flowers to abort before fruiting. Deformed fruits often point to incomplete pollination or inconsistent water and nutrient supply, which affect cell division and result in irregular fruit shapes.
