Pineapple farming is not a quick money making enterprise as when compared to annual crops like maize, cowpea, cucumber and so on. Although, it is a sure way of making sustainable income over time after it’s initially established. When they are properly monitored, they yield money all through the year.

Clear the farmland of any stumps and from that point furrow the land, abandoning it for up to 14 days in order to uncover conceivable creepy crawly aggressors to daylight. From that point, you can edge the farmland.

Encounters have appeared ongoing occasions that pineapple develops and does well when planted on edges than on a level harrowed arrive. This is because of the delicate idea of the root. So guarantee that the land is appropriate worked, also plant pineapples on edges/beds.

 

Pineapple plants are usually set out in twin/double or triple rows. A spacing of 1m from center to center of beds/ridges, rows 60cm apart within beds/ridges and plants 30cm apart within rows is recommended (30 x 60x 100cm) giving a plant population of 55,000 plants/ha.

Ensure that your suckers are ready like 1 week before planting. Peel off the first two-leaf layers of the root base so as to expose the young roots, thereby hastening growth rate. While planting, ensure to plant the suckers at a depth of 10 cm.

• It is important to control weeds in pineapple farm during the first four months after planting so as to avoid slow growth of pineapple plants which could arise as a result of competition for space, nutrients and air with the crop.
• It is advisable that a A pre-emergence application of Atrazine @ 4kg a.i/ha is is to be applied immediately after planting in other to block the germination of weed seeds for as long as possible.
• Thereafter,a tank mixture of Atrazine and diuron can be used subsequently for weed control in pineapple. Meanwhile, weeding in a pineapple farm is done at least three to four times with a growing season to prevent the farm from being overtaken by weed

It takes pineapple 9 months to be of sufficient mass (dark green in color) to produce a good sized fruit. At this point it is set for artificial inducement.

NOTE:

This period of time for maturity is particular by pineapples propagated by suckers only.

Note; it is not advisable to plant pineapple on a lease or rented land because pineapples produce all year round.Plant it on your own land.

Purchase of pineapple suckers of 25,000 pieces is needed for one acre of land under standard planting method at the rate of #30 per each suckers…..

1. Purchase of suckers=25,000 suckers×#30=#750,000
2. Secondly, cost of planting per suckers #3×25,000 suckers=▶#75,000
3. 2 bags of fertilizer is needed▶ #20,000
4. Labor for the fertilizer application▶ #8,000
5. Also, cost of induction chemical ▶#60,000
6. cost of Herbicide▶#30,000
7. Likewise, cost of labor that will apply the herbicide. ▶#10,000
8. Cost of Transportation▶50,000
9. Similarly, Cost Analysis Totaling the sum of.▶#753,000
10. Future Expectation on one acre of pineapple farm
11. Minimum price per fruit at local market sold at the rate of #150 per fruit……

Hence: Let’s assumed that 20,000 suckers was successfully Germinated and due for harvesting where as 5,000 suckers is still under Harvesting due to slow germination or died suckers. So 20,000 suckers × #150= #3,000,000 and This is just for the first production of the fruit….

1. Pineapple repeat Production I.e once you plant the suckers it will last for Good 12 years under Good management
2. You will have opportunity to Generate suckers from the farm after Second production of the produce
3. Induction must be done at appropriate time.
