Make Money by Maize Production

1. Soil Requirement: Maize will require sandy-loan or clay-loamy soil.
2. Land Preparation: This can be done manually or mechanically with the use of tractor which involves the 1st plough, 2nd plough and harrowing, ridge is often optional, but it is often recommended in an environment with sandy-loamy soil. The reason why mechanical land preparation is preferable is that this method helps in loosening the soil in order to allow for penetration of crop roots for easy uptake of water and nutrient and also as an indirect means of weeds control.
