Hi, I have a piece of land size 5 acres in Jelebu N9 planted with Durians. Thinking of half the durian trees and start a farming venture. Planning to do full time after retiring at 55 recently.
My knowledge of farming is only 10% and have done a lot of reading recently. All you sifu can please give some advise. TQ |

QUOTE(ParaOpticaL @ Feb 23 2013, 12:14 PM) 505 is the commercial name of a type of insecticide. useful against trunk borer they said and confirmed by Agriculture Officer. Hi,A method to use is to clear the spot by poking and injecting via the syringe and either wait or cover up with earth. My planting distance is 10 feet. Hi Yongbs, welcome to the club like MrFarmer put it. All are planted with durians ?? Which clone/clones are they ? please let us have more details of the farm or more pictures will help   I have about 150 trees consist of D2, D24, D144, Kuning("wong yoke chai"), D197 and others which I could not identify. The whole 5 arces planted with durians. I have felled about 20 nos of D144 coz this clones never ripe properly but the color of the flesh is bronze. All the trees is about 15 years old except my D197 about 3 years old. Will get some pictures of the farm during my next trip next week. Cheers. |

Just for laugh and it is real. My last durian harvest in December where I let a friend collect the harvest and sell to middle man and the profit to be share 50/50. At the end of the harvest, I did not get any money(profit) and what I got from him was he bought me 5 nos of D197(musang wong) the reason was the rain that spoil everything, all the durians was not ripe. Believe it or not.

QUOTE(ParaOpticaL @ Feb 23 2013, 11:07 PM) Hi Bro, Hi Bro,i have a durian farm also. with multiple types of clones also. my farm is in mantin & pajam but the prominent one are D28 & Musang King & D144. From experience your D144 could be due to insufficient fertiliser input because for the past 2 season even though there was alot of rain all of my trees were fully ripe. Would be great if we could see your farm....eye opener for us. last season which was nov/dec durians, there was an oversupply of durian for the whole of malaysia and also places in N.9 suffered from excess rain thus quite a no of the farms had uneven ripening. so yes too much rain will cause that to happen. but that is also due to fertilisation apart from weather Since I am not full time at my farm yet I will make arrangement for the visit. Maybe I can also visit your farm. Cheers  |
