Can I plant cassava or maize between my young rubber trees while waiting for them to grow? | Yes, during the first 2 to 3 years when young trees are still small, you can intercrop with food crops like maize, cassava, or legumes. This helps you earn income and feed your family before the tree canopy closes and blocks sunlight. | Tree Crop Establishment | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
If I plant long-term tree crops like rubber on my land, will it ruin the soil for future crops? | Rubber trees actually protect soil from heavy rain erosion with their deep roots and fallen leaves that decay into rich organic matter. However, because they draw deep soil nutrients over many years, the soil will need fertilizer replenishment if you clear them later for seasonal crops. | Soil and Land Management | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
How do I know if my land is better suited for long-term tree crops rather than seasonal food crops? | Tree crops like rubber prefer deep, well-drained soils in areas with high, consistent rainfall. If your land gets flooded easily or has shallow, rocky soil, it is better for food crops like rice or vegetables rather than deep-rooted tree crops. | Soil and Land Management | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
Why do the leaves on my farm trees turn yellow and drop off during the dry season? | Many tree crops, including rubber, shed their leaves during the dry season as a natural defense to conserve water. This seasonal leaf drop helps the tree survive moisture stress, and fresh green leaves will sprout once the rains return. | Crop Behavior and Maintenance | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
Why is correct spacing so important when planting young tree seedlings? | Proper spacing ensures each tree receives enough sunlight, air, water, and soil nutrients. Planting trees too close together causes them to fight for resources, leading to thin trunks, low yields, and easy spread of fungal diseases. | Crop Behavior and Maintenance | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
Does harvesting sap from a rubber tree every week shorten the tree's lifespan? | If tapping is done correctly with the right depth and cut angle, it will not harm the tree. Properly managed rubber trees can continue producing latex safely for 25 to 30 years without dying. | Crop Behavior and Maintenance | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
Why do weeds grow faster and choke my young crop saplings during the rainy season? | Weeds have aggressive root systems that absorb rainwater and nutrients much faster than young crop saplings. Regular clearing around the base of your young saplings is necessary so weeds do not steal the water and light your crops need. | General Crop Health and Growth | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
Why are my food crops growing poorly when I plant them close to large shade trees? | Large trees have wide canopies that block essential sunlight needed for crop growth. Their big root systems also pull water and nutrients out of the ground before smaller crops can reach them. | General Crop Health and Growth | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
When is the best time to apply fertilizer to my crops so that rain does not wash it away? | Apply fertilizer when the soil is moist at the start or mid-point of the rainy season, but avoid applying it right before a heavy downpour. This allows the soil to absorb the fertilizer so the roots can take up nutrients efficiently. | General Crop Health and Growth | Wherever you go, you will rather see the land where we have planted rubber that our father left for you. | bi aworba na mmom wobɛhu asaase a yɛde dua rubber yɛn agya wo | bdtqaQEgYWs_044.wav |
Why are the leaves on my maize turning yellow instead of staying green? | Yellow leaves on maize usually mean the crop lacks nitrogen, an essential plant food, or that the soil is waterlogged and the roots cannot breathe properly. | Crop Health & Nutrition | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why do my pepper leaves roll up and curl during the afternoon heat? | Pepper leaves curl during hot and dry weather to reduce water loss from their surface, acting as a natural shield to survive heat stress. | Crop Health & Nutrition | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why are my tomato flowers falling off the plants before setting any fruit? | Tomato flowers fall off when temperatures become too high or when there is extreme wetness or dryness, causing heat stress that prevents pollination. | Crop Health & Nutrition | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why do my crops wilt in the hot sun even if I watered them in the morning? | In intense midday sun, water evaporates from leaves faster than roots can draw water up from the soil, causing temporary wilting until the air cools down in the evening. | Plant Growth & Behavior | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why does my cassava yield smaller tubers when I plant it too close to maize? | When crops are planted too closely together, they compete for sunlight, water, and soil nutrients, and faster-growing crops like maize shade out the cassava. | Plant Growth & Behavior | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
How do I know that my cassava roots under the soil are fully matured for harvest? | Cassava plants signal maturity when lower leaves naturally turn yellow and shed, and small cracks appear on the soil surface around the base of the stem. | Plant Growth & Behavior | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why do seeds saved from my previous harvest yield less than certified seeds from the agrodealer? | Saved seeds lose their vigor over successive generations and can carry seed-borne diseases, while certified seeds are specially bred for high purity, disease resistance, and yield. | Field Management & Seeds | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why is clearing weeds early in the growth stage so important for my crops? | Weeds grow faster than young crop seedlings and steal the nutrients, water, and light that young plants need to build strong root systems. | Field Management & Seeds | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why does adding dried cow dung or poultry manure help my sandy soil stay moist? | Animal manure adds organic matter that acts like a sponge, helping sandy soils bind together and hold moisture around root zones longer. | Field Management & Seeds | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why do young cocoa pods turn black and shrivel up while still hanging on the tree? | Cocoa pods turn black primarily due to Black Pod disease caused by excessive humidity and damp shade, or naturally when the tree sheds surplus pods it cannot feed. | Tree Crops & Perennials | So, it is not just about the price on the phone, but when you are doing business, you consider consistency, you look at those doing the work and their monthly charges, and you look at other factors that make sense so that you can go where you will get your quality, or if you have some money like me. | enti ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛboɔ no ɛwɔ fon saa nanso woyɛ business a wohwɛ ɛyɛ consistency wohwɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ adwua ɔmo ka bosome biara wohwɛ other factors naa make sense sɛ wobɛkɔ baabi a wobɛnya wo quality anaa apc wowɔ sika bi sɛ me | VvAlQUaUfQ0_035.wav |
Why are the leaves on my young maize farm turning yellow instead of dark green? | Yellow leaves usually mean your maize plants are starving for nitrogen, which is the main food plants need to stay green and grow strong. This happens when the soil lacks organic matter or when heavy rains wash away the nutrients from around the roots. | Nutrient Deficiencies | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
Why do my young cocoa seedlings dry up and die when I plant them in an open field without trees or plantains around? | Young cocoa plants have tender leaves and shallow roots that burn easily in full sunlight. Planting plantain trees alongside cocoa provides temporary shade and holds soil moisture, acting like an umbrella to protect the young trees during their first few years. | Shade & Intercropping | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
What is eating small holes in the middle leaves of my maize, and why do I see little green caterpillars inside? | Those caterpillars are Fall Armyworms, a common pest that hides inside the growing center of maize plants during the day to feed on soft leaves. If left untreated early, they damage the growing point and stop the maize from producing healthy cobs. | Pest Control | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
Why do my crops produce very thin stems and small fruits when I plant many seeds close together in one spot? | When seeds are planted too close, the growing crops fight with each other for sunlight, water, and soil food. Spacing plants properly gives each plant enough room to spread its roots and leaves to grow big and healthy. | Plant Spacing | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
Why do my cassava roots rot underground before I am even ready to harvest them? | Cassava roots rot mostly when water sits in the soil for too long during heavy rains, causing the roots to suffocate and decay. Planting cassava on raised soil mounds or ridges helps excess rainwater drain away safely. | Root Crop Disease | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
Why are the flowers on my pepper plants falling off onto the ground without growing into peppers? | Pepper plants shed their flowers when they experience stress, such as very high heat, dry soil, or sudden irregular watering. When the plant feels stressed, it drops its flowers to conserve energy. | Vegetables & Flowering | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
Why shouldn't I spread fertilizer on my farm right before a big rain comes? | Heavy rain washes fertilizer away off the surface of the soil before the plant roots can drink it, wasting your money. Fertilizer works best when applied to moist soil when rain is light or after heavy rain has passed. | Fertilizer Application | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
Why do yam plants grow bigger tubers when I give the leaves sticks to climb on? | Yam vines produce tubers using energy from sunlight collected by their leaves. Staking allows the leaves to spread out higher in the air to catch maximum sunlight, which results in larger yam tubers underground. | Crop Support | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
How do short weeds reduce my crop yield even if my crops are taller than the weeds? | Weeds have aggressive roots underground that steal water and fertilizer away from your main crop before it can reach them. They also harbor insects and plant diseases that can spread to your crops. | Weed Management | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
Why do my young tomato seedlings grow very long, thin, and weak in the nursery bed? | Seedlings stretch out and become tall and weak (leggy) when they are not receiving enough light and are searching for the sun. Giving nursery beds moderate sunlight and enough space between seeds builds strong stems. | Nursery Care | Mhm, oh, so those things that came out, it's not all of them, it's not all of them by hand, and it's not the women, there are some there that you can | mhm ei enti afirifii no ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa ɛnyɛ ne nyinaa nsa na ɛnyɛ mmaa no bi wɔ hɔ a wobɛtumi | xTk4Zl4bWlo_057.wav |
Why should I leave some big trees standing on my farm when I am planting cocoa? | Cocoa trees thrive best under partial shade because intense direct sunlight burns young cocoa leaves and dries out the soil quickly. Shade trees shield cocoa from high heat, retain soil moisture, and help cocoa plants stay healthy and produce longer. | Land Preparation & Shade Management | You will give it to the man's people; if you don't like it, don't include them, and if you are going to remove them, you have realized—do you have kyekye here?

Is it safe for me to plant cassava and maize together on the same piece of land? | Yes, planting cassava and maize together is a great strategy. Maize grows rapidly and is harvested early, while cassava grows slowly at first and takes over the space after the maize is cleared, giving you two harvests from one land. | Plant Spacing & Intercropping | You will give it to the man's people; if you don't like it, don't include them, and if you are going to remove them, you have realized—do you have kyekye here?

Why does my land produce smaller harvests every year when I plant maize on the same plot every season? | Planting the same crop continuously drains the exact same nutrients from the soil every year and allows soil pests to build up. Rotating your crop with legumes like beans or groundnuts puts vital nitrogen back into the dirt. | Crop Health & Nutrients | How do we say this in English? We just left it and moved on.

Why do my maize plants produce very small cobs when I put four or five seeds in one hole? | When seeds are planted too close together, the crops fight each other for limited sunlight, soil food, and water. Planting one or two seeds per hole with proper spacing gives each plant enough space to make full cobs. | Spacing & Weed Management | How do we say this in English? We just left it and moved on. Yeah, everything is calm; by God's grace, everything is calm. Okay, let's see as the year draws to an end, but I've really seen a lot of drinking lately.

How do I know when my maize is fully ripe and ready to harvest from the farm? | When maize is mature, the husks turn papery and brown, and a small black spot appears at the base of each kernel. Harvesting at this exact stage prevents mold from excess farm moisture and protects the grain from field pests. | Harvesting & Crop Maturity | It is still ongoing. Ayekoo! Family, weddings, going to work, national service personnel on the farm—where are they? If you look at the song we are harvesting to, the joy of "work and happy" has come into it.
