Organic Fertilizer-The Answer to High Fertilizer Prices

Farmers have been grappling with high input prices over the years. Of note though has been the price of fertilizer that has been increasing each year. The fluctuating price of petrol has not helped it either as farmers have found farming costs not matching the output.
One form of fertilizer though is bound to change the setting for good if well received by farmers. Liquid organic fertilizer said to be much cheaper and good for the soil unlike the famous DAP.  Twenty liters of this fertilizer is enough to spray 5 acres of land. One liter the fertilizer goes for 300 shillings only. If you do the calculations well you will notice that 6 thousand shillings is enough to serve a whole five acres something that cannot be compared to the price of DAP.
The Auto Booster works well in all crops from wheat, maize to tea. One great advantage with this fertilizer is the fact that it does not acidify the soil like DAP or the other chemical fertilizers do. It also has fungicide effects in it as it helps crop be resistant to maize streak, plight and frost.
A total of 8 liters of the fertilizer will be enough to cover a one acre piece of land both for the initial application and top dressing.  A farmer will there need only 2,400 shillings in cost for fertilizer and they will be covered for the entire season.
The fertilizer which is extracted from plant extract is manufactured locally by Ngariet Limited.
If farmers get this new variety of fertile then we will be well on our way to solve the high food prices  we face every yea.

HERE LIES A SOLUTION TO THE HIGH MAIZE PRICES

Are you making noise about GMO maize in Kenya, then this should make you wail.

The Kenya seed companies are reaping farmers while the ministry of agriculture and KARI watches. The need for profits from sell of maize seed contributes to the cost of maize production in the country. The high maize seed price however is nothing compared to the secret terminator gene that seed companies are using to hinder maize produce unsuitable for seed use. The seed companies induce a gene in their seed varies that makes any produce from their seeds to be infertile meaning you cannot use them as seed for the next season something you would comfortable do save for the induced gene.

Despite this big conspiracy, the good researchers at KARI came up with a maize variety KSTP-94 that has no terminator gene and is therefore not barren. The trick is to harvest the maize from the center of the farm once you plant this variety and store it for use as seed in the next season. The onus of picking the maize from the center is to avoid picking the side maize that might have been pollinated from maize from your neighbor’s farm thus not pure for seed quality.

The strange thing though that makes one wonder is the laxity of the ministry of Agriculture to tell farmers about these seed variety by KARI and also avail it in the market in mass.

There is a lot that can be done in Kenya to alleviate the daily blunders called “National Disasters” the cash cow of RED CROSS and other NGO’s.
