HOW TO APPLY FERTILIZER TO YAMS IN SACKS/ how to plant yam/ yam farming/ step by step to yam farming

[@Inubaye.]

I applied one teaspoon of npk on each bag and water very well every other day. This was after i had applied organic manure a month before. And they're doing wonderfully after 4weeks

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Well done. Success in your venture

[@Inubaye.]

@@ChidavAgriculturalHub thanks Dave. I think what people who are interested in farming yams in sacks must put in mind is regular watering! I never took that seriously when I started 3yrs ago as I didn't usually water the yam in sacks anytime it rained. But now, I know better since last year and tubers were bigger. This year I have decided to plant 2 yam seeds in a bag since I mostly used rice and flower bags.

[@ndumnwerejohnsonikechukwuv5886]

Do you cut your yams before planting

Tthank you for sharing this, pls can one use both organic and inorganic at the same time?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

You should pls. Those would work perfectly well. Just have more of organic 70% to 30% ratio

[@anulikanjepuome9792]

Is it advisable to still apply fertilizer after you've already used organic manure like pig dung?

[@inubaye2030]

I think you can still apply inorganic fertilizer since the organic fertilizer digest gradually into the soil for longer periods. The case is different on the other one which is more faster but very technical! Hope this helps you.

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Yes, you can. The inorganic fertilizers are readily available to the plant over a short period. So, you can apply inorganic fertilizers for quick action on your field.

[@akokorapiaw6855]

Can I apply 20 10 10 during the early stages of growth (1-2 months after sprouting)? I think this will assist with built up of vegetative tissue, intense root ramification and profuse leaf formation. Then switch to 15 15 15 from the third month post-sprouting. Thank you.

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

If that's what you have pls do, but if you have access to npk 15:15:15, then use it instead

Great video, much appreciation. Please, is urea necessary for yam in bag? If yes at what stage of the yam will it be applied. Thanks

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Urea not as necessary as your phosphate fertilizer and potassium giving fertilizers. They are tuber crops. I would advise you use an NPK 15 15 15. Once vines are well developed, you can apply

[@inubaye2030]

Thanks again for the update my brother. But is it true NPK fertilizer is good for yam other than super gro fertilizer that can be sprayed on the leaves and veins? Someone said the NPK 20,10,10 or 15,15,15 can make yams to turn coloured and lose its taste instead of white. How true is this? I'm presently using super gro fertilizer.So I'm confused if I should start applying the one you just emphasized on. Thank you.

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

The yams are not meant to change colour if your application is done at the right rate

[@obilorgerard4272]

Using the Yam miniset technique, do I have to allow the yam sprout first before transplanting to the bag or just have it planted directly to the bag without it been sprouted? And how many yam seed can I actually plant per bag?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Minisetts won't give you ware tubers, but seed yams for planting next season

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

For MINISETTS, I'll advice you plant them in ridges and not sacks.

[@aderayoadeleye1221]

Thanks a lot but what is the name of the ferterlizer, where do I get it to buy and when do I apply it

It's an NPK fertilizers of ratio 15:15:15. It's a compound fertilizer having all the primary nutrients of equal ratio. You'll be able to get this from any agrochemical company

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Just ask for any brand on an npk 15:15:15 fertilizer, when you want to purchase

Is it a good agronomic practice to mix NPK and Urea fertilisers and apply? Not just yam in this case but also to plants like pineapple and vegetables.

Npk already has urea in it. The N in the NPK, is nitrogen which is same as urea

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

I don't advice for the usage of 20 10 10

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

The reason being, urea, which has the 20, is responsible for growth and development of leaves, and the purpose is for the tubers to develop well, so as to get the best out of the tubers

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

But, if 20 10 10 is only what you've got, then, you should use it and try combining any animal manure with it

@@ChidavAgriculturalHub Could that be the reason I explained above regarding 20,10,10 not good for yams because it makes them turned coloured? I'm just being inquisitive!
