Farmerakinloye6:. Pls, is that pure potassium nitrate or does it contain other additives? Pls check the content label. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 11:56pm On Aug 11, 2021 |
FarmTech:additive as in? It 13:0:46 potassium nitrates by jubaili. |

Farmerakinloye6:bozz can this be used for tomatoe, or potassium chloride us better. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 8:36am On Aug 12, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6: fiddzy:No micronutrients. www.farmsquare.ng/shop/maxi-k-soluble-potassium-nitrate-fertilizer-25kg/ Nitrates such as above are more expensive than chlorides MOP 0:0:60 because of the salt content. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 6:30pm On Aug 12, 2021 |
emmaachile2:ok thanks. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 6:39pm On Aug 12, 2021 |
ideepaul:pls I will like to get your clarification on this 5g per stand, do you calculate your plant population and dissolve in water times the 5gram each and fertigate, or u just measure on a spoon n apply near plant for water to Dissolve it into the soil thanks. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by ideepaul: 9:42pm On Aug 12, 2021 |
fiddzy:He didn't fertigate, that's why I said not more than 5g per plant, fertigating is a different ballgame entirely, you don't apply in lump-sum, just in little quantities but more frequently! |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 12:24pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
fiddzy:5g per plant is applying into the soil usually in two weeks interval. If you fertigate, you cannot apply more than 15g per every 20 litres water except you want to burn your crops. 10g per 20 litres water is usually recommended. The difference between fertigation and side dressing is that fertigation is very fast for plant uptake compared to side dressing but it cannot be applied in lump sum as the other guy advised. |

ideepaul:Thanks sir. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 1:17pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
emmaachile2:ok sir, so if I am correct this maxi npk can be used for both fertigation and side dressing. I am looking at making use of venturi fertilizer injector. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 3:00pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
fiddzy:You can also Spray that Maxi potassium Nitrate 5 tablespoons per 16L Knapsack |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 4:11pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
fiddzy:It can be used for fertigation and side dressing Nezzjnr:That 5 tablespoons is about 75g per 16 litres which I consider too high for foliar spraying. Fertigation is safer than foliar spraying for that concentration though not advisable. Go with 1 full tablespoon per 20 litres. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 4:18pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
emmaachile2:I'm still trying to Learn that Fertigation through drip... Won't it block the Drip?? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 5:37pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:It depends on the quality of fertlizer. If you use those blended fertlizers mixed with soil, it will block it. Go for water soluble fertlizers like urea, mop, sop, granular npk and also ensure they are from good brands like Tak agro, Notre or Dangote, etc. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 5:54pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
emmaachile2:So Urea can be Fertigated?? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 8:15pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
emmaachile2: Boss, SSP not soluble. Same phosphate makes it difficult to fertigate NPK easily, it won't just dissolve. Calcium Nitrate, Potassium Nitrate, Mg sulphate, these can dissolve |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 10:23pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
flowmama:It's error. Disregard. SSP fertlizers are not water soluble and are mostly used before transplanting as the phosphate is immobile in soil. It's mostly used by the side dressing method or basal application before the plant is even transplanted. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 10:25pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:Yes. Very water soluble. Though plants love a combination of nitrate and urea for best results. |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:51am On Aug 16, 2021 |
Cucumber is not only commodity I grow, so I watch how it market tread. The best time to always plant is when seed is scarce and there is glut in market! Some farmers will hear cucumber is selling at the moment, next thing, they will plant 10-12 thousand stand just because they heard I plant just 3k stand, and I realize over 500k. When their cucumber is out, the price will be like 2.5k-3k, it get worse sometimes there will not be buyers for it.. more loading... 3 Likes |

Farmerakinloye6:There's a secret about time for planting Cukes Plant Cukes early in the Year and During the last months of the Year. I know one Man that plants 120k stands of Cukes by January and another 120k by August. That is what he has been doing for 4 years now. He'll just be laughing at us that are planting all year round 3 Likes |
