Hi all, i am not sure if is the right place to promote the fry that i am selling here. But, our farming is having opening promotion. 50% discount for [preorder] grass carp fry.
Let me know if you're interested. Thanks

Hi everyone. I would like to buy red tilapia fries. Does anyone here sell? Preferably has a mygap certificate.

My farm is in Karak.

any recommendation to get tilapia fries around kl/ selangor region? Thanks!

Actually I'm also looking g for tilapia fries. Anyone know where I can get all male red tilapia fries?

Anyone know what is the latest hype about agriculture nowadays?

Planting Figs

Anyone can recommend good books relating to farming and agriculture especially in Malaysia?

What crops are you looking at? Farming / Agriculture is rather specific.

Found this great thread here... I'm planning to do aquaculture as well, but still planning and looking for suitable place... and minimal knowledge as well... thanks all for such valuable information!!

I am interested in getting into aquaculture in Rawang as well.

Hei guys, i am thrilled to share you my farm progress.

Shifting Tengalan to our newly built pond



Hopefully the fishes can adapt 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-WrMltM

It'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!

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.

Thanks for your input mr farmer. Too bad over here everything relies mainly on serendipity in order to develop a more desirable cultivar. I have heard it times and again, many interesting cultivar were lost due to growers' inability to clone them. Not a grower myself yet, i dream of becoming one when i retire one day. First of all, save money first.

The reason i mention hybridization is because as a nepenthes grower i did try out hand pollination with nepenthes flowers and this practice is very common especially among those who grow more than 5 years. However, i wonder besides MARDI, anybody else have hands on with hand pollination of durian flowers? As i mentioned earlier, durian sulok is a common sight in limbang dividion of Sarawak, and it might be a good candidate to start with, but the main draw back i can instantly think of is that, how many 10 years do i have to see them grow up and produce fruits. That's crazy.

I did actually wanted to look into hybridization of Avocados. After looking into the options, I realized that I do not have the means. It is a very tedious project and a very long term too. So much that I had given up.

The next best think I can think of is to work with researching bodies, whom are already doing research in that particular variety of plants that you are keen with. You do not have to re-invent the whole wheel, by working with relevant bodies, you get to tap into their expertise / facilities.

Anybody knows how to tanam taugeh for small scale production? About 10 kg a day...

I saw on the net about using black bin method but don't quite understand...
