He explains that his current water storage capacity of 2,000 litres is insufficient to meet crop water requirements, particularly for orange trees at flowering and fruiting stages.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the role of social media, the farmer said online information has helped him improve production techniques, including soil enrichment through the mixing of sawdust and soil, and the effective use of drip pipes for water conservation.<\/p>\n<p>He identified major challenges facing his operations as an inadequate water supply, a lack of fencing, high labour costs, and the absence of mechanized equipment, such as power tillers or tractors.<\/p>\n<p>Jarjue urged young Gambians to take up agriculture and tree nursery production as a means of boosting forest regeneration and restoring the country\u2019s depleted forest cover.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently engaged in intensive vegetable production, orange grafting, and the raising of Gmelina seedlings, as well as high-quality guava and other forest species.
