WHY GROW PEAS?
Peas offer farmers an opportunity to diversify income, improve nutrition, access high-value markets and introduce a legume into cereal-based rotations.

But success requires more than planting: right variety + right environment + right agronomy + right market.

Friday doesn’t need many words.

A well-taken-care-of wheat crop says it all.

We’re marching towards our national wheat volume targets, and I’m sure we share the same vision.

Happy weekend, farmers& wanna be farmers🙂!

Every step we take today can shape a stronger tomorrow. Building rural communities one step at a time, through the adoption of climate-smart agriculture.

When farmers embrace knowledge, innovation, & climate-smart practices, we improve harvests

“Yield potential is built before flowering, but yield is secured during grain filling. Every healthy green leaf during this period is a factory producing carbohydrates that ultimately become grain. Protect the canopy, manage irrigation wisely, & allow the crop to finish strong.”

[Dior Pote @PoteDior]

Africa’s future won’t be secured by producing more grain alone, it will be secured by owning more of the value chain.

Grow maize.
Process it.
Brand it.
Distribute it

Diversify horizontally with climate-smart crops like SC555, SC547, SC Nua 45, and SC Daisy tomato.

August is a month of opportunity.Let us plant and recover what we could have lost. We do not have luxury of not growing food. People still need to eat. Plant green mealies, tomatoes, okra & cucurbits.

It doesn’t matter whether your field is big or small,what matters is maximum production per unit area.Gross Profit per ha matter now, considering Global Economic Shocks & VUCA. Let’s talk about what you want to grow. Your crop journey matters.

The journey of agronomy is never walked alone. No one has a monopoly of knowledge. Every farm visit is a chance to listen, learn and share experiences.

Great spending time with @ForwardMakasi1 & several farmers. Together, we can serve farmers better through a shared vision, shared responsibility,

Did you know that the flag leaf is one of the most important leaves on a wheat plant? It is the last leaf to emerge before the wheat head and acts as the plant’s powerhouse during grain filling. Research shows that the flag leaf can contribute up to 40–50% of the carbohydrates needed to produce well-filled, high-quality grain.

1. Captures sunlight efficiently for photosynthesis.
2. Supplies energy for grain filling.
3. Supports higher grain weight and better yields.

Protecting the flag leaf through balanced nutrition, timely disease control, and effective pest management is essential to unlocking the full yield potential of your wheat crop.

So many times i get to remind farmers that good genetics alone is not enough. The best wheat varieties only reach their full potential when supported by excellent agronomic management.
-No moisture stress
-Effective disease control
-Timely insect pest management
-Balanced crop nutrition

Every management decision influences yield, grain quality(utility, premium) , baking qualities, & profitability.

Wheat Update (Weeks 7–10)

Flag leaf ➡️
Booting ➡️
Heading ➡️
Flowering & Pollination.

This is the most yield-sensitive stage. Protect the flag leaf, maintain field capacity, apply fungicides on time, scout for pests & diseases, and avoid moisture stress during pollination.

Proud to share my latest feature in @agribusinesszw - Agribusiness Magazine!

Knowledge is the greatest yield multiplier. From crop scouting , pest identification to disease management & fungicide timing, informed decisions are what separate good harvests from exceptional ones.

Let’s continue sharing science-based agronomy that empowers farmers & strengthens Zimbabwe’s food security.

GREEN MEALIES THREAD (Part 1)

Are you planning to grow green mealies after the cold winter?

If your answer is YES, this thread is for you.

Growing green mealies is one of the quickest ways to generate income if you plant the right variety, establish the correct plant population, and target the market at the right time.

NB :-Assumption is pH is within tolerance (5.5 and 6.5).

•Nutrition will feature in part 2
•Moisture management part 3
•Weed Management in part 4
• Disease and Pest Management 5

1/ Why grow green mealies?

Green mealies offer:

-Faster cash flow than waiting for dry grain.
-Strong demand from vendors, -supermarkets, roadside markets, institutions, and urban consumers.
-Lower exposure to late-season drought since harvesting occurs before physiological maturity.
Opportunity for multiple planting windows where irrigation is available.

2/ Which varieties are preferred by the market?

The market consistently favors:from @SeedCoZimbabwe

-SC727 (Nzou)

Large, well-filled cobs.
Attractive husk cover.
Excellent eating quality.
High market acceptance and premium prices.
Long shelf life

- SC608 (Shumba)

Uniform cob size.
Yellow in color
Reliable performance across many production areas.
Strong consumer preference.
Excellent fresh market quality.

Both varieties have established reputations among traders because consumers prefer large, sweet, well-filled cobs with an attractive appearance and Lengthy shelf life.

3/ Use Gaucho-treated seed and other seed dressing (nutritional micro elements)

Always plant Gaucho-treated seed .

Benefits include:
- Early protection against soil and early-season insect pests.(Grasshoppers)(preventative of MSV instances)
- Improved crop establishment & root formation
- More uniform plant stands( high vigor)
- Reduced early pest damage, allowing seedlings to establish vigorously.

4/ Target the correct plant population

For green mealies, aim for approximately:

44,000–46,000 plants per hectare. 46 k takes into account 3-4% establishment germination losses. (0.75 m X 0.27m)

This population helps achieve:

-Good cob size.
-Uniform cob development.
-Better marketable yield.
-Reduced competition between plants.

Remember, green mealies are sold by cob quality, not simply by tonnes.

5/ Soil fertility matters

Green mealies require:

- Well-prepared, fertile soils.
-Adequate nitrogen( Nitrogen Units).
-Balanced phosphorus and potassium.
-Sufficient moisture throughout growth.

NEVER compromise on fertility if premium-quality cobs are your target.

6/ Irrigation is key (600-750mm of water)

Consistent soil moisture is essential during:

-Germination.
- Early Vegetative (V4) - cob size determination)
-Tasseling.
-Silking.
-Cob filling.

Water stress during these stages can significantly reduce cob size and market value.(Reduced attractiveness)

7/ Common pain points

Many growers struggle with:

-Poor plant populations.
-Incorrect variety selection.
-Fall armyworm and other pests.
-Inconsistent irrigation.
-Nutrient deficiencies.
-Missing the optimal marketing window.
-Harvesting too early or too late.

Good agronomic management minimizes these risks.

8/ Final thoughts

Success in green mealies production begins with:
Good land prep (Seed soil contact)
- The right variety (SC727 or SC608) Gaucho-treated seed
-A plant population of 44,000–46,000 plants per hectare
-Good water management (600-750mm)
-Weed free environment (pre &post weed control)
-Balanced nutrition (NPK , & micro elements) ,Split fert application can be done
-Producing the quality the market demands.(No Fall army worm Damage) use a chemical that is ovicidal and larvicidal.

The best returns come from producing cobs that consumers want to buy ,not simply producing more plants.

Happy Weekend, STOP for a minute. Right now.

No one knows what tomorrow holds. We spend so much time planning, worrying, & rushing that we forget to appreciate what we already have.

The fact that you’re breathing, reading this, and able to feel….that is the gift. Life itself is the gift.

Don’t waste this moment.

• Smile at a stranger.
• Forgive someone who doesn’t deserve it.
• Tell someone you love them.

Choose kindness. It costs nothing, but it can change everything.

It remain my primary goal to serve farmers with distinction around issues of Agronomy creating value in their businesses since farming is a business. Gross Profit per ha matters, sustainability and continuous improvement is key at farm level.

Adapting to economic & climatic shocks is becoming more of an agronomic skillset, which we continuously find a way to make it live in the minds of farmers. End game is making business to the farmer, improving local economies and alleviating poverty and hunger at household level
