RE: CACAO FARMING: Getting reading for the biggest crop of the year
These cacao plants look gorgeos. Can you pollinate these flowers artifically to increase the harvest? And isn't there always too much rain in Porto Viejo?
Hola @flauwy, I have "midges" pollinating for me. And my trees are more loaded than anyones, so all is good. Now we just pray for not too much rain!
Midges like in mosquitos? The translation of that word into German is very confusing.
Yes, @flauwy, a "Midge" is a mosquito like being who does not bite. Yes, a good mosquito of sorts. A very important pollinator. If we were to "overly" clean the cacao farm we would wipe of the Midge population and have less fruit as a result. One of those good reasons, "not to clean!"
