Fertilization & Plant Nutrition

Fertilizers for cocoa, maize and vegetables in Cameroon

Acidic ferralitic soils in the Centre and South, volcanic soils in the West, sandy soils in the North: in Cameroon, the same fertilizer does not give the same result everywhere. JOGOO Agriculture starts by analysing your soil, then builds a programme with the JOGOO Fertilizer Collection: organo-mineral fertilizers, NPK foliar fertilizers, biostimulants and seed treatments.

A programme for each crop and each region

For maize, a base dressing at sowing then split applications up to flowering. For cocoa and coffee, applications designed to rejuvenate older farms. For tomatoes, peppers and cabbages, foliar feeding at key stages. The schedule follows the two rainy seasons of the South or the single season of the North.

Why feed the soil before the plant?

After several seasons without enough inputs, soils in Cameroon become depleted: plants grow more slowly, turn yellow and yields fall year after year.

Restoring soil fertility brings back steady harvests and makes every bag of fertilizer pay.

What good fertilization changes
  • Stronger plants from emergence
  • Higher, steadier yields
  • Better quality harvests
  • Crops that resist disease better
  • A better return on input spending
  • Soil that keeps its potential for the next seasons

What the JOGOO Fertilizer Collection contains

We combine several product families according to the crop, the soil and the irrigation method on your farm.

Plant nutrition fertilizers

Mineral and organo-mineral fertilizers supply the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements the plant needs at each stage.

We offer them for maize, cocoa, coffee, pepper, plantain and vegetable crops.

Expected effects
  • Fast vegetative growth
  • Deep rooting
  • Abundant flowering
  • Better fruit set
  • Fuller fruit and grain

Fertigation

Fertigation means injecting fertilizer into the drip network so it reaches the foot of each plant directly.

It is the most precise method for vegetable growers and orchards already equipped with irrigation.

Benefits
  • The same dose for every plant
  • Less fertilizer lost to leaching
  • Split applications that are easy to schedule
  • Faster uptake by the plant
  • Less labour for spreading

Biological solutions and soil improvement

A living soil holds water and nutrients better, especially under the heavy rains of the South or on the sandy soils of the North.

Our biostimulants and soil improvers help rebuild organic matter and biological activity in tired plots.

Objectives
  • Improve soil structure
  • Stimulate microbial life
  • Increase water-holding capacity
  • Maintain fertility from one season to the next

Different needs for every crop

A tomato, a cocoa tree and a maize field have neither the same needs nor the same calendar.

Our agronomists tailor each programme to the crop and its cycle.

We work in particular with:

Baskets of freshly harvested tomatoes
Vegetable crops
Tomatoes, peppers, cabbages, onions or watermelons grow fast and need regular feeding to keep their size and quality.
Papayas on the tree in an orchard
Orchards
Citrus, papaya, avocado or pepper vines need a multi-year programme to establish well and then produce.
Ripe maize cobs
Field crops
Maize, sorghum or soybean over large areas need carefully calculated rates to control the cost per hectare.
Chili peppers on the plant at full production
Horticulture
Flowers, ornamentals and nursery seedlings need precise, regular nutrition.

A recommendation that starts from your plot

No two farms are alike.

Before proposing a programme, we look at:

  • Your soil analysis
  • The crop and variety
  • The yield you are aiming for
  • Your irrigation system
  • Your production calendar
  • Your seasonal budget

You get a realistic fertilizer plan you can apply in the field.

  • Better harvest quality
  • Fewer visible deficiencies
For the farm
  • Inputs used better
  • A healthier margin
  • Better targeted spending
  • More stable yields
For the soil
  • Fertility preserved
  • Land that recovers
  • Natural resources managed better
