Description

Banana Sucker + Plantain Sucker

A sucker is a plant growth that develops from the rootstock of a plant that has undergone grafting.

A sucker grows from the base of the root of the plant at a certain distance away from the plant.
This undesirable part of the plant should be removed to prevent it from sucking away the plant’s energy.
Rooted suckers can be dug up and planted elsewhere.

Banana suckers

Both wild species of bananas and cultivated bananas produce suckers.
The clump of plants formed by the parent plant and its suckers is commonly called a mat. The botanical term for a mat is genet, and for a sucker is ramet.
Banana plants (Musa spp.), with sweet, nutritious fruit and attractive foliage, have many uses in the kitchen and home landscape.
Suckers come in three different types, but only sword suckers, or those with a well-developed root system, grow into thriving banana plants.
Maturity generally ranges from 15 to 24 months.

Plantain suckers

Farmers traditionally depend on the natural regeneration process of new plantain suckers to replace their plantain plants.
They often remove all the suckers on a mat, except for the ones selected to replace the mother plant.
However, with the advent of technology and other sophisticated techniques, planting and harvesting plantain suckers require fewer inputs and can be planted immediately on the field.
Generally, plantain requires 10 to 12 months from planting to harvest.

Considerations before planting sucker

If you are planting a larger number of suckers then it makes sense to think carefully and plan the layout of the new field. To do this, you have to take into account: planting density, number of trees, shade trees, the slope of the field, and windbreaks.

Planting density refers to the number of trees you plant in a given area.

The planting density is influenced by:

Size of the mature suckers (larger trees means lower planting density).
Amount of maintenance you intend to do (higher planting density means higher maintenance, more pruning in particular).
The soil fertility and if fertilizer will be applied every year.

Things needed for sucker planting

Narrow digging bar
Pruning shears or sharp scissors
Shovel
Compost
Container (optional)
Potting mix (optional)
Mulch
Fertilizer

Warnings!!!

Do not plant suckers that are affected by any type of disease or pest problem.

Shipping & Delivery

Afrimash provides various shipping methods. These methods vary based on the class of the item being shipped, the weight, and/or the customer’s choice at checkout.

We currently offer three shipping options: Local Pickup shipping, Economy shipping, and Convenient shipping options.

Local Pickup Shipping

Local Pickup is the shipping option that gives our customers affordable delivery fees with flexible control over the pickup of their orders.

This means that the customer can pick up his or her package from a local road transport park or an agreed pickup point close to his/her home or office address. We ensure swift and secure deliveries through commercial vehicles from third-party transporters and road transport agencies across Nigeria.

We also make sure the third-party transporters are supplied with the contact details of the customers for communication and a smooth delivery process.

For this type of delivery method, we always encourage our customers to get ready to pick up their items before the drivers get to the agreed pickup point or park.

Customer Guidelines for Local Pick-ups

Please get to the agreed local park or pickup venue early enough before the arrival of your order, which is packaged and sealed with your invoice.
Please inspect your item immediately at the pickup point before leaving.
If there is any problem, please contact the Afrimash logistics team on 2348092323212
Also note that Afrimash works with 3rd party transporters/drivers, the rigors of the journey may affect their temperament while communicating with customers, thus we advise for patience and tact when communicating with the drivers as well as picking up your orders.
Drivers are always paid per order before dispatch unless otherwise stated prior to dispatch of your order.
Kindly disregard any solicitation for extra payment from any driver before picking up your order.

Local pickup is suitable for customers who are ready to pick up their items within 24 hours after order confirmation. Local pickup is also suitable for customers who are close to central locations and motor parks as this gives them easy access to the pickup of their goods.

Economy Shipping

Economy Shipping is a convenient and affordable delivery option we operate and manage in partnership with GIG logistics services which allows our customers to pick up their order conveniently at any GIG Office across Nigeria.

Economy Shipping is also suitable for moderately fragile items with breakable parts and other fitting parts that need proper packaging and care.

Convenient Shipping

Our convenient shipping is provided in partnership with DHL Express, such that, customers get doorstep delivery of their packages.

As personalized delivery can enhance customer experience and increase brand loyalty when used as an integrated part of the customer’s purchasing journey, we have included this option to service customers who wish to have their ordered packages personally delivered anywhere in the world.

This option especially appeals to customers who wish to bypass the rigors of local pickups at car-parks or the use of pickup stations. It is suitable for non-weight and fragile items with smaller parts and fittings.
