Thank God its another friday, its a weekend! It was all sunny in its earlier part until around 17:00 it began to rain.
Well the rainfall is an occurence of joy for any farmer, so i am happy.
Our botanical insecticide is now ready for use, we will be spraying tomorow, so i will update us in any of my future post.
Today, we did mango plant grafting on our farm. The essecnce of grafting is to make a non producing plant start to produce or incorporate a desirable fruit type into another plant, there by eliminating the undesired one.
This is done by bringing a parts of a desired fruiting plant ( especially the stem) which is known as the grafting wood or scion and incorporating it onto the stem of the stock plant.
For the mango grafting process, i defoliated some stems on a fruiting mango tree, ensuring its a young and fleshy stem.
Yesterday made it 2weeks that i defoliated,so i went to cut it from the branch today.
The stem was then brought down to the farm for the next stage of grafting.
This is the stock mango plant we will be grafting, you can see its only producing leaves and no fruit.
Stay tuned for my next post if you can, while i update.
