RAINFALL IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE TODAY IN TERMS OF ONSET OF RAIN, SPREAD, INTENSITY,COVERAGE,DURATION,FREQUENCY  ETC

THE PLANT NEEDS SUFFICIENT SOIL MOISTURE AT ALL TIMES FOR THE ROOTS TO TAKE UP NUTURALLY OCCURING NUTRIENTS IN THE SOIL AND THOSE THAT ARE APPLIED.

RAINFALL DOES NOT OFFER ADEQUATE MOISTURE THROUGHOUT THE GROWING CYCLE BUT GOOD IRRIGATION DOES.

THEREFORE WE FIND AN IRRIGATED CROP DOES BETTER.

SINCE WE GENERALLY CANNOT CONTROL RAINFALL PATTERNS EXCEPT THROUGH AFFORESTATION, REAFFORESTATION OR GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION WE CAN USE CROP FERTILIZATION AS A POWERFUL TOOL TO STILL MAXIMIZE YIELDS.

THE ANSWER IS FOLLOWING A PROGRAM TO ENSURE YOU GIVE THE PLANT A BALANCED DIET, SATISFY THE PLANT AND GROW IT FAST BEFORE RAINS SUBSIDE.

GENERALLY IN RAINFED FARMING A 3 MONTH CROP EG.BEANS HAS GOOD YIELDS BUT THE 6 MONTH CROP EG. MAIZE GROWING TOGETHER AND PLANTED AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME FIELD HAS POOR YIELDS.

THIS IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF CHALLENGES IN RAINFED FARMING.

THE BEAN CROP WILL RECEIVE ADEQUATE MOISTURE IN 3 MONTHS BUT THE 6 MONTH MAIZE CROP DOES NOT BECAUSE THE RAIN SUBSIDE GENERALLY FROM THE THIRD MONTH ONWARDS.

OUR PRATICAL SOLUTION IS FOLLOWING OUR PROGRAM TO GIVE THE PLANT A BALANCED DIET, SATISFY THE PLANT MEANING APPLYING THE FERTILIZERS AT THE RIGHT TIME AND WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNTS WITH THE RIGHT INTERVALS AND GROWING THE CROP FAST THROUGH THE USE OUR POWERFUL ORGANIC HORMONE NAMELY CITISHOOTER WHICH IS FOLIAR APPLIED AND CITISHOOTER GRANULES WHICH IS SOIL APPLIED

THINK ABOUT A 6 MONTH CROP, HOW MANY DAYS DOES IT HAVE ADEQUATE SOIL MOISTURE DURING THE GROWING PERIOD.

GENERALLY THE DRY PERIODS ARE LONGER THAN THE WET PERIODS WITHIN THE 6 MONTHS.

THIS TRANSLATES TO POOR SOIL MOISTURE LEVELS HENCE COMPROMISED NUTRIENT UPTAKE RESULTING IN LESS PRODUCTIVITY.

CROPS REQUIRE MORE MOISTURE AS THEY MATURE.SIMPLY THE WATER REQUIREMENT OF A YOUNG PLANT OR CROP IS LESS THAN THAT OF A MATURE CROP.AS THE CROP MATURES IT REQUIRES MORE WATER OR MOISTURE IN THE SOIL.INFACT IRRIGATED FARMERS INCREASE IRRIGATION FREQUENCY AS THE CROP MATURES.THIS IS A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMMENT HENCE WE SEE BETTER PRODUCTION.

IN RAINFED FARMING THE REALITY IS AS THE CROP MATURES THE RAINFALL AMOUNT SUBSIDES, THEREFORE LESS MOISTURE IN THE SOIL FOR A CROP THAT REQUIRES MORE WATER.THIS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO DEPRESSED YIELDS IN RAINFED FARMING.

THE IDEAL SITUATION IS MORE RAINFALL AS THE CROP MATURES.THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND WITH CLIMATE CHANGE WITH US RAINFED FARMING CROP PRODUCTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO BE DEPRESSED.

IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN THE CROP WATER REQUIREMENT IS HIGH DURING THE VEGETATIVE,FLOWER AND FRUIT STAGES BUT MOISTURE IS NOT AVAILABLE OR SUFFICIENT,THE CROP IS STRESSED AND HAS LOW PLANT EFFICIENCY.THE CROP WILL GROW PHYSIOLOGICALLY IN THESE UNIDEAL CONDITIONS AND MATURE,BUT RESULTANT YIELDS WILL SHOW.

GENERALLY MOST RAINFED CROPS YIELDS ARE LESS THAN 50% OF THE POSSIBLE OPTIMAL YIELDS.

THEREFORE WE CAN TAKE GOOD CARE OF CROP FERTILIZATION, PEST,

DISEASE, WEED MANAGEMENT VERY WELL BUT ALWAYS FORGET THE STRESS AND LOW PLANT EFFICIENCY THE CROP UNDERGOES DUE TO POOR RAINFALL AS IT MATURES.

IF A CROP MATURES IN 6 MONTHS IN RAINFED FARMING, HOW MANY RAINY DAYS OR RAINFALL AMOUNT DOES IT RECEIVE, WHATS THE SPREAD WITHIN THE GROWING PERIOD.NORMALY IN RAINFED FARMING THE DRY PERIODS ARE LONGER THAN THE WET PERIODS.

WE HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THIS LOW STRESS TOLERANCE AND LOW PLANT EFFICIENCY.APPLY CITISHOOTER ORGANIC HORMONE DURING THE EARLY GROWTH STAGE AND VEGETATIVE STAGE.MIX WITH FOLIAR FERTILIZERS USED DURING THESE STAGES.ALSO TOP DRESS WITH CITISHOOTER GRANULES A GRANULAR ORGANIC FERTILIZER WITH OVER 12 IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS.

WE WILL ACHIEVE HIGH STRESS TOLERANCE AND HIGH PLANT EFFICIENCY TO ENSURE INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY OVERCOMING RAINFED FARMING DEVASTATING CHALLENGES.

SEE OUR INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT BROUCHURES FOR CITISHOOTER AND CITISHOOTER GRANULES AND CROP PROGRAM FOR THE CROP YOU GROW FOR DETAILED INFORMATION ON USE OF THESE PRODUCTS.

REMEMBER THE REAL PROFIT IN FARMING COMES FROM THE QUANTITY OF PRODUCE YOU DID NOT HARVEST YET YOU WERE CAPABLE OF HARVESTING.THIS IS PROFIT LOST SINCE YOU DID NOT USE IMPORTANT GOOD AGRICULTURAL PROCTICES SUCH AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.STRIVE TO MAXIMIZE PRODUCTION TO ENHANCE PROFITABILITY.
