Dont forget i got a lot of fruits setting and getting to maturity. Did i forget i had to contend with i ''dont know wat'' for my fruits. They just had a way of puncturing my fruits at maturity or almost ?

Rafaelbeulah: Go to any agro-allied shop and ask for Khaltodim, Lambdashi, Lambda Plus, or Lara Force. They're the best and most effective all-purpose agricultural pesticides/insecticides available for now. They go for between #2000-#4000 per litre. NB Your mixing should'nt exceed 0.35liters per hectare. God bless your hustle. |

Re: Who Has Seen This? by Pavore9: 2:40pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
Penalty82: That should be Hami melon. |
Re: Who Has Seen This? by Penalty82(m): 2:44pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
Pavore9:Thanks though you didn't sound convincing, I have not seen it before. |
Re: Who Has Seen This? by Pavore9: 2:59pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
Penalty82: It is Hami melon, have it juiced and get a better feel. |
Re: Who Has Seen This? by Penalty82(m): 3:01pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
Pavore9:Where can I find it? |
Re: Who Has Seen This? by Pavore9: 3:11pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
Penalty82: It is also known as musk melon, I don't know where it is grown commercially in Nigeria but since the OP did get to harvest thus proving its viability. You can buy the seeds in China and have it grown. |
Re: Who Has Seen This? by FarmTech(m): 8:32pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
For disease ctrl, use fungicides every 5-7 days. See instructions here: http://www.farmersjoint.com/thread-28687.html. For insect pest ctrl, use insecticides like ddvp, cypermethrin, lambda cyhalothin, imdacloprid etc. Instruction coming soon on my blog. B/4 u go commercial, find market first and get the agronomy right to avoid had-i-know. |

Rafaelbeulah: I have seen it very well. it is planted at the back of my apartment in ile ife while is school in OAU, infact the leaf is used for vegetables. not the matured leafs though... you cut the leafs (the fresh young ones) with the long soft rope of the plant.. I hope you understand. that's how we cook it, boil it with salt and cook with egusi. I have eaten it times without number. |

If you look at the leaves in one of the pictures, they have been eaten by pests. So, it means, pests have been feasting on the leaves. The plants might have virus infection too caused by aphid, thrips, whiteflies etc. If i was the owner of the garden, I would treat it for pests, virus and fungi. I would be hard on the pests; hence, I would use systemic powerful insecticide with the active ingredient called dimethoate like Action 44, Action 40, Dimeforce, Magic Force etc. Thenafter, I would fight viral infection with the active ingredient called Imidaclorid like Imiforce or Contact. In addition, I would use a copper based fungicide like RedForce and rotate it with Mancozeb or Carbendazim like ZForce, FunguForce or Forcelet to combat fungi infection. Finally, I would add foliar NPK 20 20 20 with trace elements. Summary: systemic insecticide + Imidaclorid + Copper based Fungicide + Fertilizer. Mixed all in a knapsack and spray. Change systemic insecticide after spraying twice to contact insecticide like LaraForce or Cypermethrine. If you had been using this formular, you would have saved yourself this stress. Remember, using inorganic chemical is not as bad as you think. You just must learn how to use it well so that over 99.9% of the chemicals must have been washed away from the plants and fruits before consumption. Otherwise, you may make people get sick. |
