Are you looking for high-quality seedlings for your farming venture? Look no further! Our experts at Egerton University have got you covered.
Arrowroot Seedlings ¶
Arrowroot is a highly productive and high-value crop that thrives in soils with high moisture content. It requires spacing of about 30cm by 30cm and takes around six months to mature and be ready for harvest. For quality arrowroot seedlings, contact Madam Hannah on 0723684523 or try Tich Kouma, a CBO in Nyalenda, which multiplies arrowroot seedlings for sale.
Strawberry Seedlings ¶
Strawberry farming is a lucrative venture that can earn you a good income. The crop takes 70 days to mature and harvesting continues twice a week. Depending on the variety, good agronomic practices like using drip irrigation and mulching and use of farmyard manure should be employed. The production can be 30-80kg of strawberry per week on a eighth acre. Strawberry farming has good returns as it goes for Sh200 per kilo.
Avocado Seedlings ¶
Pinkerton avocado is a commercial variety that is grown in a number of countries, with its origin being South Florida. It has a generally thick skin that maintains the green colour when ripe and is easy to peel. For quality Pinkerton avocado seedlings, contact Kalro on OR 0722206988/0736333294.
Traditional Vegetables ¶
Traditional vegetables like managu and terere are a good venture as most people have turned to them because of their nutrition and health benefits. You can visit Karlo headquarters at Loresho and they will give you more information on growing of traditional vegetables.
Watermelon Seedlings ¶
Watermelons are warm season crops and will not do well in cold areas. You can go to the Ministry of Agriculture offices in your county and get the necessary information or they can direct you to a farmer who has successfully grown watermelons. You can also get the same information from the Karlo branch near you.
