Nezzjnr:10 acres equivalent to 4 hectares, how will he handle pruning! and harvesting?? And with just 10 handdds? Nezzjnr hope you are not using me to catch cruise? Dem no Born anybody papa to plant 1 hectare of cucumber at once here in akure (ondo state) at any time!!!! Nah pig go eat 50%, ask aquadude? Well! It can be possible in SS and SE. |

Farmerakinloye6:why ss or se? Although, it's true that animals are not usually allowed to roam about in the east but we might have to deal with assorted rodents and other wild animals like antelopes, monkeys, wild pigs especially those that plant deep in the Bush. |

Farmerakinloye6:Baba people are even doing 5 acres at a go Planting at once His variety is Jorad... Jorad doesn't really need pruning unless you wan stress yourself. He hires women when it's time for Harvest. He plants 2 acres under one day... So he uses one week to plant an acre. He hires women for that Job... Same with side dressing |

Any update on the current cucumber price? And any effective combo for downy mildew this period? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 6:52pm On Aug 16, 2021 |
abouzaid:what I mean in that "context" is SS and SE are the original lover of cucumber, only few Yoruba really like to eat it, so there is potential market in SS and SE than South West. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 6:53pm On Aug 16, 2021 |
Olaleyeabdullah:it was sold here today at 9-8k per bag |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:15pm On Aug 16, 2021 |
One of my strategy is to always Dodge heavy competitor, at the moment, I noticed me and one colleague is harvesting thesame day (three times in row now) this is someone that can arrange cucumber very well, if he did not sell his Cucumber finish no buyers will look my own despite removing 1k from my own. I called him today, he said "he will harvest today and bring it to market tomorrow" ![]() 3 Likes |

Cucumber buyers always comes to buy between 6am-12pm here, if there is no environmental or rain. Exactly 6am too, I will be in market to sell, I always make sure I sell all my Cucumber before I leave market even if I need to reduce price, I don't want Agent palava. 1 Like |

Farmerakinloye6:boss, l am really inspired by this thread..thanks a million! I am about to start a pilot cucumber farm(1 plot) somewhere in Ogun. Please where can l get the greengo seeds? What quantity will be enough for a plot and how much will it cost? I will sincerely appreciate your reply, thanks |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 3:32pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
LovesonBlezz:1. Contact Cedagrochemical, she has #9,500 for 1000 seed. 2. 1000seeds at 30cm. Cucumber on a plot of land is not a pilot project, for it to be successful you need some level of seriousness..use manure,stake, spray when you suppose to, prune, and apply fertilizer. If you want to do pilot maybe you should grow between 5-100 stand, 1,500 stand no be moimoi Good luck! 2 Likes |
