Yemighty2:

Mr nezzjnr kindly help me with ur number for more Cucumber output

Kindly send a Mail Boss

Farmerakinloye6:
I applied potassium nitrates yesterday, I will see maybe it Worth it....men this fertilizer is too expensive 30k for just 25kg. Cucumber price at the moment is 7-6k.

.
Pls, is that pure potassium nitrate or does it contain other additives? Pls check the content label.

FarmTech:

additive as in? It 13:0:46 potassium nitrates by jubaili.

bozz can this be used for tomatoe, or potassium chloride us better.

No micronutrients.

Nitrates such as above are more expensive than chlorides MOP 0:0:60 because of the salt content.

ok thanks.

ideepaul:

Maxi potassium nitrate by jubaili should be a lil cheaper than that, but thingz are changing though! Just don't apply more than 5g per stand, watch out for the taste, size, and yield, and report to the house on this later. Btw, I hope the cucumber planting without manure will NEVER cross your mind again!

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.

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!

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.

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.

You can also Spray that Maxi potassium Nitrate

5 tablespoons per 16L Knapsack

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.

I'm still trying to Learn that Fertigation through drip... Won't it block the Drip??

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.

So Urea can be Fertigated??

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

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.

Nezzjnr:

Yes. Very water soluble. Though plants love a combination of nitrate and urea for best results.

I thought as much

Ssp and Manure before planting na heavenly combination

I think it High time i she'd some( strategy) light on how to make profit from farming cucumber, mass production don't equates huge profit, true fact! Ayam coming.... do you have interest drop comment..

i think instead of planting lots of plants at once, it is more profitable planting it in batches

Following

pls do!

yes so true!

Farmerakinloye6:
pls do!

When do you intend starting

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...

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
