Nope, but I could check around, the price was going down last I checked though, the only saving grace for cuke farmers in Akwa Ibom this year is the lack/high price of seeds, as the market here is very selective

if you did Saira, and have it in large quantities, then Akwa Ibom may be your target. but if it's not, you will still sell, but it may be a lil bit more challenging

bassey25:



Boss good day. Please do you have idea of current price cucumber there in your akwa ibom. . Happy sunday

Nope, but I could check around, the price was going down last I checked though, the only saving grace for cuke farmers in Akwa Ibom this year is the lack/high price of seeds, as the market here is very selective

I cultivate only veges, so I read every info available and experiment with them, to get a workable template based on my unique working environment, as what works for A may not work for B...the journey has been challenging and inspiring so far

willybaby:
hahaha @ideepaul seems you too are in the spirit, but how did you know..

I know all the most educational threads here and the number of pages because I have read every page I can more than once, including yours!

willybaby:
Wow nairaland is truly loaded with knowledge, enough to make anyone succeed, two days now have just been fixed on a particular thread reading meticulously from page 1 to page 118. New bigger things loading for WinFarms..

I bet my basket of tomato that this "thread" is okoroemeka's cucumber thread!

OluchiDelly:


Oh ok, from royal seed. I love its unique shape.

Yep it's lovely cultivar, can't wait to compare it with cobra 26 that's already fruiting too

OluchiDelly:

Nice fruit shape you have there bro. What cultivar is this?

Rambo

Farmerakinloye6:
nice one! On a seriously note this your project is a little bit risky, and you need alot of prayers ( no drip tape in place) never use any adjuvant/surfactant or any foliar fertilizer on my plant because I don't fancy it.

it all depends on the zone of the country, I am in the south south, and I have not had cause to irrigate except at the period of transplanting, drips are excellent, but sometimes life happens! My drips are lying waste due to circumstances beyond my control. As for Supergrow, it's a waste of funds for me personally, good old manure heaps serve the purpose of increasing organic matter and water retention, and also supplying micronutrients

harken0504:


Fungicide is z force.... Its suppose to be 60g to 16l water..... The plant are just 2 weeks old.....
Do i apply it like that or reduce the strength of the fungicide to maybe 1/2

I don't use Z-force, but I think it's either 50g or 100g per knapsack! not too sure, but since it's 15 days in the nursery, 50g per knapsack should do

harken0504:
URGENT PLS EVERYONE..........When applying fungicide to my 14 days old tomato....do i apply in full capacity or reduced capacity... i.e do i use the normal measurement which is 60g to 16l of water or use 1/2 power of the fungicide which should be 30g to 16l of water??

You have not even mentioned the fungicides...

What's the criteria for recieving a ban from antispambot, I only commented on the cost of waybill, I didn't attach a phone no, business advert, or anything of that nature, all this backward social media forums don dey tire me seriously

Wow, nice work sir!

Uncle Lienus, you 4 no like expand your business with the ROI wey you dey quote, an grow to a point we all know you, and you wouldn't be interested in the "very small fee"?
As Someone making 700k a month, shoe us images of your setup and work you have done so far...only you dey run investment software like piggyvest, you dey develop android apps, you dey run advert service wey one million people go see in 1 week, now you wan do mushroom consultancy service with ROI of 700k a month...BABA I hail thee

willybaby:
my oga you've been quiet fa, I so miss your inputs and all.. our plan is if he brings the stems, we will propagate it using the 3 node stem propagation technique if it performs then it can be cultivated next year..

that a good plan... Boss as money nor dey and farmwork stress wan kill your boy, how I wan do...abeg pass me 2 cups of your garri, I wan show NAFDAC something

willybaby:
Someone who came begging to buy my Cassava today, added he will introduce 4 months stem to me if I agree to sell..

Has IITA done another wonder ? Please whose come across this new 4months variety.. he says it's brown in colour and short in height thats stems branch but don't grow tall

In as much as I am not really into commercial cassava cultivation, I walk/work with few individuals who do. Not all improved cultivars can be cultivated anywhere, due to climate, soil texture, rainfall, nutrient availablity, market acceptance (starchiness, colour, cyanide level, etc), shade tree, etc, before you plant it commercially, try out like 20-50 mounds, see how they react to your environment, and if favourable, you could expand from there.
To make this clearer,let someone cultivars that are best suited to oil palm plantation and cultivate them in another open community, the results may be totally laughable. Another person will take some zone adapted stems and plant them by the riverbanks in the south, and weep for the poor growth, but when you uproot them, you will be pleasantly surprised

Am in the market at the moment. Crate 5500, housa basket 11000 naira.

Boss you don enter market already

ritzyluv:
I noticed today that my tomatoes is having end-rot despite I started using calmag 2weeks ago. What else can I use or is the dosage am using not enough?
I couldn't snap, there is no space in my phone

I hope you didn't apply the calmag via only foliar application? Fertigation is your sure bet right now, calcium nitrate is also a good option, but for quick improvement, fertigation is the best option (either manual or via your irrigation system)
Don't always assume you have calcium in your soil, there's a reason why most tomato farmers don't joke with either liming or application of calcium based fertilizers. It improves the fruit skin thickness, and hence duration b4 rot

Olaleyeabdullah:
I applied the cow dung to the soil while Haifa bonus is to d soil

Ok, but you said spray! Btw, are you fertigating with Haifa bonus? if yes, what's the NPK ratio?

ritzyluv:
This is what I saw this evening.
I was walking round the farm when due saw it

What's up with the puddle of water by the drip line? Isnt water too much on your soil? For the wilting challenge, I suspect fertilizer issues l, transplanting shock, or like seen in that image over irrigation!

Olaleyeabdullah:
I used cow dung supported by weekly spray of Haifa bonus

Fertilizer application for cucumber is done btw every 10-14 days and applied to the soil...foliar ko forest ni

Imagine

willybaby:
partly correct but there's something attached to the corn

atleast you'll give me 1/2 bag of the corn... popcorn or sweetcorn?

willybaby:

Only an abnormal person will overspeed on a congested or semi congested road, so all these questions of what to do when there is a vehicle(s) or traffic closely ahead of you doesn't make sense to me.
In an event where the urge to accelerate is great, calculate the possibilities and look at the vehicular flow, and only only drive at high speed on a road you are well conversant with and ONLY when there is an emergency that warrants such risk!
I never buy my own car sha

Duru9:
What if there's traffic ahead of you ?

how can you over speed close to a congested area?

ashpanez:
Pls, brothers and sisters. Can I use adult plant dose of incesticides and fungicide on a 2 weeks old pepper and cucumber plant? If no pls what dose is ideal for them.
I am battling whiteflies on my farm.
Pls ideepaul, oga okoroemeka,pipi I need ur help

2 weeks after transplanting or at nursery stage for peppers?
For cucumber, 2 weeks after transplanting isn't the criteria!
The severity of the attack, the health of the plant, the type of agrochemical, weather conditions usually influences the dosage

Farmerakinloye6:
just twice

Not enough sir!
Maybe 5-6 is applications of 5g per application (2.5g urea and 2.5gNPK) for first and maybe 2nd depending on the cultivar)
and (2.5g of NPK and 2.5g MOP) for the remaining applications, you could fertigate to ease stress. It works for peppers, tomatoes, and cucumber according to EWS recommendations...i won't lie, it's hard to follow this method sha

Wow
