Farmerakinloye6: I also use that method for tomato � cos tomato will spend several weeks in nursery and need nutrients to develop true leaves. But cucumber � will only be transplanted with the 2 seedleaves hence no need for any tapping of nutrients from the soil. Allowing the roots of these cucumber seedlings to be firmly attached to the soil which eventually break at the point of transplant will cause big transplant shock. Cucumber not too forgiving with that unlike tomato. I will always prefer to put nylon on the floor before placing my seed trays like in the pic. However, if you can work your ways around your method and it works very well, no wahala. 1 Like

Farmerakinloye6:Greengo ryt |

Planting on a virgin land has its own cons oo. Applied Glysophate and Paraquat but the weeds are still coming up oo... Na to just go The Manual way oo |

Farmerakinloye6:Greengo beats Jorad by Far in terms of Commercial Market because of it's size and Colour. Jorad loses it's colour on time. I'm planting Greengo this weekend. |

Nezzjnr:I never for once use herbicide on my vegetable farm after transplanting, it always manual weeding. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:30pm On Nov 09, 2021 |
FarmTech:I have seen! and practice different spacing, but i prefer 1.2m by 30cm any day anytime. If you know when and how to prune, believe me! 1.2m by 50cm or more is just a waste of land. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 7:44pm On Nov 09, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:Do you make use of the manual weeder or you employ hands? This particular land is way too fertile |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:52pm On Nov 09, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:hand weeding( I get a year worker).... why do you say the land is fertile? You have seen it physical ? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 8:01pm On Nov 09, 2021 |

To replace the stress of side dressing. Fertigation through Venturi is the best 2 Likes 1 Share

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Yemighty2(m): 2:55pm On Nov 10, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: With this calculation below can we use ½paint (small one) for 500plants and full paint for 1000plants during fertigation? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 4:45pm On Nov 10, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: I personally think Potassium Nitrate and MGSO4 can be applied via foliar @ 1 and half spoon per knapsack and you'll see result. Just ensure you apply frequently. Aside NPK and SSP that I apply as basal,( I also fertigate urea) other ones can be applied as foliar and they work very effectively. I have applied Calcium Ammonium Nitrate as side dressing (fertigation) like 3 times to my tomato and still had blossom end rot. Subsequent planting, I applied just 1.5 table spoon per knapsack almost every week and noticed I didn't see one case of blossom end rot. Now imagine the wastage in side dressing bags of expensive fertilizers with just using 1.5 teaspoon. 1 Like |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 4:55pm On Nov 10, 2021 |
flowmama:Yes Pottasium Nitrate... Magnesium sulphate and Calcium Nitrate can be sprayed. I do 5 Tablespoonful and it's always once in a week. Npk can be Fertigated... I'm not sure about Urea ooo... How do you dissolve it. I apply Ssp before planting |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 6:01pm On Nov 10, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: I think 5 table spoon of those Nitrates fertilizers too much oo. NPK cannot dissolve totally. the Phosphorus won't allow it. Urea can be dissolved and fertigated. I use 1kg of urea dissolved in 200 litre water and pass through drip. It does not burn whatsoever. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 6:10pm On Nov 10, 2021 |
flowmama:5 table spoon for 16ltrs Knapsack too much?? Won't Urea Clog the Drip?? How do you measure Urea for 12000 Cukes plants |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 10:00pm On Nov 10, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: First, 5 table spoon from my calculations is much. If 128gram of Calcium Nitrate for example should be dissolved in 94.64litre of water, it therefore means 1gram should be dissolved in 0.739 litres of water 21.65 grams should be dissolved in 16litre of water (knapsack) 21.65gram is about 1 and half tablespoon. Kindly see the attached. Yougerrit sir Secondly, Urea is very soluble in water and can be passed through drip. Lastly, I don't use venturi. I dissolved and add to my fertigation tank and mix with stick. Same way I irrigate for 15 to 20mins depending on my drip pressure, I also add fertilizer solution after I must have irrigated first to allow the soltion percolate down the soil. 1 Share
