I got a call that my banana plantain engulf my whole farm and that if others in ondo state.

My question is,
does fire kill the plantation? Or it just affect it for the year and I expect it to regerminate by itself and production can start the next year.

Reason is that I was told we need to clear the burnt and restart afresh.



Please I need expert advice

Clear and start afresh. All is gone

It's a blessing in disguise. Pray it rains early.the rate at which healthy suckers will sprout will surprise you.the fire have just refertlized the farm.though it will delay fruiting but expect bountiful harvest in due course.

If the burning is heavy, the quality of your fruits will be affected. Start afresh. The ash and carbon in the soil will help it grow better

Your comment is misleading. So that's why I quoted you.I repeat,there is no way fire will destroy a plantain farm to the point of starting afresh.

Oga I've been selling plantains for over 8 years and I have large expanse of land with plantain.

Only those that have attained fruiting stage will be adversely affected. In fact ,it will waste them but expect bountiful harvest from the new suckers.
Note this:one of the best way of rebranding a old plantain farm is setting on fire..
My advice to the person, leave the farm,ensure regular weeding n u will come here with testimony. Speaking from what I practice.
