Why are the lower leaves of my maize plants turning yellow and dying before harvest? | Yellowing lower leaves usually mean the maize plant lacks enough nitrogen in the soil. Nitrogen is the main food maize needs to stay green and produce strong stalks, so adding compost or nitrogen fertilizer early in the season prevents this. | Nutrient Deficiencies | Yeah, okay, as for this, look, if you check the system and there is something new to tell them, look, when we go to the event, I ask, this that we call a network house, it is not a green house, apart from what you can [do] is very | aane okay wei deɛ hwɛ yɛ afidie mu a sɛ biribi foforɔ hɔ abɛka akyerɛ ɔmo hwɛ a yɛkɔ dwumadie a na memmisa sɛ wei yɛse wei yɛ network house ɛnyɛ green house apart from wobetumi is very | qtFmtZC6WLU_075.wav |
Why do my cabbage plants remain loose and leafy instead of forming hard, solid heads? | Cabbages fail to form tight heads when they lack adequate nutrients like nitrogen and potassium, or when the soil gets too hot and dry during the period when the head is supposed to form. | Nutrient Deficiencies | Yeah, okay, as for this, look, if you check the system and there is something new to tell them, look, when we go to the event, I ask, this that we call a network house, it is not a green house, apart from what you can [do] is very | aane okay wei deɛ hwɛ yɛ afidie mu a sɛ biribi foforɔ hɔ abɛka akyerɛ ɔmo hwɛ a yɛkɔ dwumadie a na memmisa sɛ wei yɛse wei yɛ network house ɛnyɛ green house apart from wobetumi is very | qtFmtZC6WLU_075.wav |
Why is it bad for me to plant cassava on the exact same piece of land every single year? | Cassava draws a large amount of nutrients out of the soil to build its big roots. Planting it in the same spot continuously wears out the soil, leading to smaller tubers and a buildup of soil-borne pests and diseases over time. | Soil and Crop Rotation | Yeah, okay, as for this, look, if you check the system and there is something new to tell them, look, when we go to the event, I ask, this that we call a network house, it is not a green house, apart from what you can [do] is very | aane okay wei deɛ hwɛ yɛ afidie mu a sɛ biribi foforɔ hɔ abɛka akyerɛ ɔmo hwɛ a yɛkɔ dwumadie a na memmisa sɛ wei yɛse wei yɛ network house ɛnyɛ green house apart from wobetumi is very | qtFmtZC6WLU_075.wav |
How can I tell if I am giving my pepper plants too much water? | When pepper plants get too much water, their roots drown from a lack of air, causing the leaves to turn pale green or yellow, droop down, and drop off prematurely despite the wet soil. | Water Management | Yeah, okay, as for this, look, if you check the system and there is something new to tell them, look, when we go to the event, I ask, this that we call a network house, it is not a green house, apart from what you can [do] is very | aane okay wei deɛ hwɛ yɛ afidie mu a sɛ biribi foforɔ hɔ abɛka akyerɛ ɔmo hwɛ a yɛkɔ dwumadie a na memmisa sɛ wei yɛse wei yɛ network house ɛnyɛ green house apart from wobetumi is very | qtFmtZC6WLU_075.wav |
What makes my yam tubers rot underground before I get the chance to harvest them? | Yam rot underground is caused by excess water staying in heavy clay soil without proper drainage, which creates an environment where soil fungi and tiny worms called nematodes attack and decay the tuber. | Water Management | Yeah, okay, as for this, look, if you check the system and there is something new to tell them, look, when we go to the event, I ask, this that we call a network house, it is not a green house, apart from what you can [do] is very | aane okay wei deɛ hwɛ yɛ afidie mu a sɛ biribi foforɔ hɔ abɛka akyerɛ ɔmo hwɛ a yɛkɔ dwumadie a na memmisa sɛ wei yɛse wei yɛ network house ɛnyɛ green house apart from wobetumi is very | qtFmtZC6WLU_075.wav |
Why do the flowers on my tomato plants fall off without producing any tomatoes during the dry season? | When weather temperatures get excessively hot, tomato pollen dries out and becomes sterile. Because the flowers cannot be pollinated, the plant drops them to conserve energy. | Heat and Flowering | Yeah, okay, as for this, look, if you check the system and there is something new to tell them, look, when we go to the event, I ask, this that we call a network house, it is not a green house, apart from what you can [do] is very | aane okay wei deɛ hwɛ yɛ afidie mu a sɛ biribi foforɔ hɔ abɛka akyerɛ ɔmo hwɛ a yɛkɔ dwumadie a na memmisa sɛ wei yɛse wei yɛ network house ɛnyɛ green house apart from wobetumi is very | qtFmtZC6WLU_075.wav |
Why are the leaves on my cassava plants twisting up and developing yellow patches? | Twisted leaves with yellow patches are a sign of Cassava Mosaic Disease, a sickness carried from plant to plant by tiny insects called whiteflies as they feed on the sap. | Pest and Disease Identification | Yeah, okay, as for this, look, if you check the system and there is something new to tell them, look, when we go to the event, I ask, this that we call a network house, it is not a green house, apart from what you can [do] is very | aane okay wei deɛ hwɛ yɛ afidie mu a sɛ biribi foforɔ hɔ abɛka akyerɛ ɔmo hwɛ a yɛkɔ dwumadie a na memmisa sɛ wei yɛse wei yɛ network house ɛnyɛ green house apart from wobetumi is very | qtFmtZC6WLU_075.wav |
Why do I get smaller cobs when I plant my maize seeds very close to one another? | Planting maize seeds too close together forces the plants to compete against each other for sunlight, water, and soil food, resulting in thin, weak stalks and small or incomplete cobs. | Plant Spacing | Yeah, okay, as for this, look, if you check the system and there is something new to tell them, look, when we go to the event, I ask, this that we call a network house, it is not a green house, apart from what you can [do] is very | aane okay wei deɛ hwɛ yɛ afidie mu a sɛ biribi foforɔ hɔ abɛka akyerɛ ɔmo hwɛ a yɛkɔ dwumadie a na memmisa sɛ wei yɛse wei yɛ network house ɛnyɛ green house apart from wobetumi is very | qtFmtZC6WLU_075.wav |
Why are the leaves on my young cocoa trees turning yellow and dying during the dry season? | Young cocoa trees have sensitive leaves that burn under full sun and heat. They need shade from plants like plantains or leguminous trees in their early years to keep the soil moist and protect them from direct heat. | Cocoa Farming Basics | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it. Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
Why are my maize leaves turning pale green and yellow starting from the bottom leaves? | Yellowing that starts at the lower leaves usually means your maize is hungry for nitrogen. Maize needs nitrogen to stay green and grow heavy cobs, so adding well-rotted manure or nitrogen fertilizer will fix this. | Grain & Cereal Health | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it. Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
Why do my cassava plants produce long, thin roots instead of big, fat tubers? | Cassava roots cannot expand if the ground is too hard and packed down. Loosening the soil before planting allows the roots room to swell into large, heavy tubers. | Root Crops | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it. Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
Why are the flowers falling off my tomato plants without turning into fruits? | Tomato plants drop their flowers when the weather gets too hot or when soil watering is irregular. Giving the plants steady water and mulching the soil helps the flowers stay on and form fruits. | Vegetable Crops | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it. Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
Why do I need to raise stakes for my yam vines to climb on? | Yam vines need to spread their leaves high in the sunlight to make energy for growing large tubers underground. Staking also keeps the leaves off damp ground, preventing leaf diseases. | Tuber Crops | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it. Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
Why do my maize leaves have small holes eaten through them with dirt inside the funnels? | This damage is caused by caterpillars like Fall Armyworm that hide inside the central leaves of the maize plant. Checking plants early and applying correct controls protects the growing stem from destruction. | Pest Management | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it. Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
Why are the leaves on my pepper plants twisting and curling upwards? | Curled leaves on pepper plants are usually caused by tiny insects like mites or thrips sucking leaf sap.

Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
Why shouldn't I leave all the young suckers growing around my main plantain stem? | Too many suckers compete with the main plantain stem for nutrients, water, and sunlight, leading to tiny bunches. Leaving only two or three strong suckers ensures a big, heavy bunch of plantain. | Plant Propagation | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it. Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
Why does my lowland rice grow much better when there is standing water in the field? | Rice plants are uniquely adapted to thrive in flooded soil, while most weeds drown in standing water. Keeping water in the field prevents weeds from stealing light and nutrients from your rice. | Cereal Farming | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it. Therefore, we are doing our best to do our part so that it will be beneficial for the farmers as well, and so we are moving forward. | ɛkwan no yɛnyɛ ɛda nti yɛde afidie kɔsii so bu dosa yɛn ho adwuma ansa na yɛde grada yɛde ɛrekɔfa so nti yɛbɔ yɛ ho mmɔden biara sɛ yɛn afa mu deɛ no deɛ yɛbɛyɛ na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no nso ɛyɛ maa yɛn nti anamɔn | _XYCGWR19nM_016.wav |
How do my groundnut plants form nuts underground after flowering up in the air? | Once groundnut flowers are pollinated, they grow long pegs that push themselves down into the soil. Once inside the dark soil, the tips of these pegs swell up to form the groundnut pods. | Legume Farming | The road is not in good shape, so we used machines to do the groundwork before using a grader to level it.

Why are the lower leaves on my maize plants turning yellow in a V-shape pattern? | Yellowing leaves usually mean your maize lacks nitrogen, which is essential plant food. Adding well-rotted manure, compost, or nitrogen fertilizer early in the season keeps leaves green and strong. | Soil & Nutrient Management | The District Chief is the 2019 National Best Farmer; we are having a conversation with him. Perhaps you have just heard about it, but you haven't really taken the time to fully understand it. | district panin no ɛyɛ 2019 national best farmer yɛne no twetwe nkɔmɔ ebia wote yɛ kɛkɛ na mmom woanhyɛda anhunu gyaee | GV1jUdzu2FM_004.wav |
Why shouldn't I plant maize on the exact same plot of land every single season? | Planting maize continuously drains the same nutrients from the soil every year and allows pests to multiply. Alternating maize with leguminous crops like cowpeas or groundnuts naturally puts nitrogen back into the soil. | Soil & Nutrient Management | The District Chief is the 2019 National Best Farmer; we are having a conversation with him. Perhaps you have just heard about it, but you haven't really taken the time to fully understand it. | district panin no ɛyɛ 2019 national best farmer yɛne no twetwe nkɔmɔ ebia wote yɛ kɛkɛ na mmom woanhyɛda anhunu gyaee | GV1jUdzu2FM_004.wav |
Why should I avoid putting fertilizer on my field right before a heavy rain falls? | Heavy rain washes the fertilizer off the farm or pushes it too deep into the ground before roots can absorb it, which wastes your effort and money. | Soil & Nutrient Management | The District Chief is the 2019 National Best Farmer; we are having a conversation with him. Perhaps you have just heard about it, but you haven't really taken the time to fully understand it. | district panin no ɛyɛ 2019 national best farmer yɛne no twetwe nkɔmɔ ebia wote yɛ kɛkɛ na mmom woanhyɛda anhunu gyaee | GV1jUdzu2FM_004.wav |
Why do my yam vines need wooden stakes to climb on instead of growing on the ground? | Yam is a climbing vine that needs to lift its leaves toward sunlight to make food. Staking allows the foliage to catch maximum light, which helps build large tubers underground. | Crop Behavior & Support | The District Chief is the 2019 National Best Farmer; we are having a conversation with him. Perhaps you have just heard about it, but you haven't really taken the time to fully understand it. | district panin no ɛyɛ 2019 national best farmer yɛne no twetwe nkɔmɔ ebia wote yɛ kɛkɛ na mmom woanhyɛda anhunu gyaee | GV1jUdzu2FM_004.wav |
Why do my tomato flowers drop off the plant without ever producing any tomatoes? | Tomato flowers drop when temperatures get extremely hot, when soil moisture swings from too dry to too wet, or when insects fail to pollinate the flowers. | Crop Behavior & Support | The District Chief is the 2019 National Best Farmer; we are having a conversation with him. Perhaps you have just heard about it, but you haven't really taken the time to fully understand it. | district panin no ɛyɛ 2019 national best farmer yɛne no twetwe nkɔmɔ ebia wote yɛ kɛkɛ na mmom woanhyɛda anhunu gyaee | GV1jUdzu2FM_004.wav |
Why do my crops stay healthier during dry weather when I cover the soil around them with dry grass? | Covering soil with dry grass or leaves, known as mulching, acts like a blanket. It traps moisture in the dirt, keeps roots cool in hot sunshine, and stops weeds from taking over. | Crop Behavior & Support | The District Chief is the 2019 National Best Farmer; we are having a conversation with him.

How do I check my young maize field early enough to see if Fall Armyworms are attacking? | Look inside the center funnel or 'whorl' of the young maize leaves. If you see small holes in the leaf blades or droppings that look like sawdust, armyworms are present and need treatment before they destroy the crop center. | Pest & Disease Control | The District Chief is the 2019 National Best Farmer; we are having a conversation with him. Perhaps you have just heard about it, but you haven't really taken the time to fully understand it. | district panin no ɛyɛ 2019 national best farmer yɛne no twetwe nkɔmɔ ebia wote yɛ kɛkɛ na mmom woanhyɛda anhunu gyaee | GV1jUdzu2FM_004.wav |
Why are the leaves of my young maize plants turning yellow instead of deep green? | Yellow leaves on young maize usually mean the plants lack nitrogen, which is the key nutrient crops use to build green leaves and grow strong. It can happen when heavy rains wash nutrients out of the soil or when the soil lacks organic matter. | Soil & Nutrients | We cannot build a nation like that.

How do groundnuts help make my soil better for the next crop I plant? | Groundnuts are legumes that pull nitrogen gas from the air and convert it into plant food stored in small bumps on their roots. When the groundnut crop is harvested and its roots decay, that stored nitrogen remains in the soil to feed the next crop. | Soil & Nutrients | We cannot build a nation like that.

Why do my pepper leaves wilt in the hot afternoon sun even when the soil is wet? | During the hottest part of the day, leaves lose water into the air faster than the roots can draw it up from the soil. The plant wilts temporarily to protect itself from heat, but it usually recovers in the cooler evening. | Crop Water & Weather Reactions | We cannot build a nation like that.
