QUOTE(MrFarmer @ Mar 12 2015, 04:47 PM) Too subjective to provide suggestion. 4 plots, close to each other? Logistic ? Location? High value land? You may be better off renting out the land if it is high value? Water source? Weather history? helloo, 4 plots are close to each other..no problem for logistic..area port dickson..last transacted price is RM5.5 per square feet. My land sizes is between 55000 to 60000 sq ft. No issue with water and electricity. Weather is pretty hot mos of the time. Location is good..easy access. Planning to plant chili probably on first plot. will need suggestions and feedbacks. Thank you.

QUOTE(Michael J. @ Apr 18 2015, 08:57 AM) kamisama: Not exactly a long term solution, but you could try posting for free on Mudah.my (limited to single ad, and only personal ad). There are also many other websites and forums with dedicated aquaculture business threads. You could also register with DOF, and have them list your company as one of the suppliers for the fries; and since you are producing fish of somewhat specialist niche (tenggalan and sultan are not commonly supplied), you might gain some traction. http://www.dof.gov.my/eaquaculture2Aside from all that, the most important thing is visibility. You need to get your business known; but you will also need to know who you are targeting. If you are targeting the internet savvy modern farmer, then having a blog or dedicated website that is well designed and laid-out will help a lot. Or collaborate with dedicated blogs that do so, eg. http://www.usahawantani.com/2008/05/pengel...pertingkat.html (however, the blog seems dormant now... so please double-check beforehand). Other than that, you could look up people who do conduct aquaculture training, such as STAC, and work with them and their network: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sepang-Today...171117842981126http://www.stac.com.my/index2.htmlHope this helps. Hi Michael, Thank you so much for your suggestion. I will definitely check it out.

QUOTE(iyeap @ Nov 12 2014, 05:19 PM) Hi Mr farmer. Not a good idea for a visit. We are still building and renovating a lot and the place is in a mess. Maybe in a few months should be alright. Our place is such a mess now, not worth a visit yet. Can i ask? What type of farm is ur fren intending to do? Concrete, poly tanks or earthen ponds? If ur fren really wants a visit to a farm, i know of a farm in rawang doing tilapia which is one of the biggest players, i think. And they are also distributors for CP(starfeed). I think that is a better choice for a visit for ur fren. Our system also isnt that good yet and needs a lot of improvement. Maybe i can post up some pictures later so your fren can have an idea of how it looks like? I am interested in getting into aquaculture in Rawang as well.

Hello everyone, I was looking for information about durian grafting method until i stumbled upon this thread. Just to share with you one video i found on youtube http://youtu.be/jVOO-WrMltMIt's about top working of old durian trees. I have a few questions and hope some of the sifu from here might be able to provide some insights. Thanks in advance! 1. Is using D. graveolens as a rootstock for, let say, musang king a viable option? Anybody tried with it and does it really provide extra benefits in terms of phythophthora resistance? 2. I dream of seeing durian sulok ( hydrid of graveolens and zibethinus, common in sarawak) being hybridised enough times with premium zibethinus clones to result in a clone that posses graveolens' creaminess and fineness in texture and zibethinus' sweetness and rich taste. In fact, (it could be only me), i think that red prawn's creaminess has hints of graveolens' taste and texture. If i am not mistaken, i read somewhere on the net that durian banyuwangi in indonesia is in fact a hybrid of graveolens of zibethinus. I am an enthusiast in agriculture and have not own any orchard yet. Happy farming! This post has been edited by tshuong: Sep 27 2015, 04:39 AM

AS far as my understanding goes, grafting / top working only provides the characteristic of both the rootstock and that of the mother tree scion in a tree but, in different section of he tree. The section beneath the grafting union still holds the characteristic of the rootstock (only) and the section about the union has the characteristic of the mother tree (only). I think you need to work on hybridization should you want to "combine" the characteristic of different tree into one. This can be done by seed hybridization / tissue culture / genetic engineering.
