Roots

Roots are the part of a plant that are buried in the soil. They grow out of the seeds during the germination. Roots perform very important tasks, which include:

Absorbing the water and the necessary nutrients and sending them to different parts of the plant.

It provides a good grip to the stem of a plant so that it can stand against the wind.

Some plants store the food in their roots. Examples of these plants are carrots and potatoes.

Stems

Stems are connected with the roots and grow outside the soil. All the parts of the plants are connected to the stems. When a plant is young, its stems are green. But as they grow older, their stems turn their color and become hard. Stem performs functions, which include:

It provides support to the leaves, flowers, and fruits.

It carries the water and nutrient absorbed by the roots to all parts of a plant.

Stems also store food in many plants, like sugar cane.

Buds

Buds look like a bump on the stem of a plant. These are the developing shoots, which will become branches of the plant.

Leaves

Leaves are the important part of the plants, which have green color (not all plants have green colored leaves). They produce the food for the whole plant by the 

process of

photosynthesis . In photosynthesis, plants take the carbon dioxide from the air and light from the Sun to make food. Also, they produce oxygen for us to breathe.

Flowers

When the plants become mature, they produce flowers (only flowering plants produce flowers). Flowers have beautiful colors with attractive fragrance. They play an important role in the reproduction of the flowering plants. They also make the seeds and the fruits of a plant.

Fruits

Apple

Fruits are the parts of plants that bear its seeds. The fruits are made when the female part of the flower are pollinated. Making delicious fruits is the strategy used by plants to disperse it seeds to different locations. Because fruits are delicious, when animals are humans eat them they will through its seeds to land.

Grasscutters are one of the most profitable mini-livestock that you can produce; they can get most or all of their food from eating grass. There’s a huge demand for them. Last year alone, grasscutters worth millions of naira were grown and sold. Not only is the demand high, but crossbreed grasscutters are very easy to raise. They grow fast and take about six months from start to reproduction time, and no full-time commitment is necessary.

You can still have a full-time job or other commitment and be a successful grasscutter farmer. If you have a few hours a week to spare, then you have enough time to produce grasscutters for huge profit.

So what kind of money can you make? Grasscutters are currently selling for about $10 to $15 per Kg in the international market and N2000 to N2500 per Kg locally. Fully grown grasscutter can weigh up to 5kg. A room space can produce, on average, 1000kg in a year. That’s around $10,000, or $15,000 or N2, 000,000 a year. Need more money? Expand the growing area to produce more grasscutters. Growing crossbreed grasscutters for profit is certainly not a get-rich-quick scheme, but you can make a nice income. So how do you get started in grasscutter farming?
