Nezzjnr:baba I'm planning to use hose irrigation, l can't afford the drip system for now ![]() |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 5:38pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
LovesonBlezz:Please use what you can afford... But the Hose should be faced directly to the root... Don't allow water to splash on the leaves |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 7:26am On Aug 21, 2021 |
LovesonBlezz:Bro I'm not a Pro... Okoroemeka and Farmerakinloye na dem dey run the show now ooo. Regarding your question... That's why you have to use a Fungicide like Cabriduo from week 2...alternate with another Fungicide like Ridomil Gold.... Once the plant has passed ground level... Concentrate the Nozzle of the Hose to the Root 1 Like |

Nezzjnr: Nice! I applied fungicide yesterday morning and rain fell later in the evening. As I type this, it's raining again! Do I need to reapply the fungicide? If yes, at what day interval? Shalom. |

fiddzy:. Chloride is not so good for plants. Sulphates and Nitrates are better. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 3:28pm On Aug 22, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:. Ok. I just want to make sure that it can be used for some chemistry experiments I have in mind. |

Farmerakinloye6:. Nice info. |

Nezzjnr:. I think spray tube will be easier for him oo. So long as he irrigate in the morning or afternoon, he won't have serious problem with fungal diseases compare to rainy season. . Another advice I have for farmers that work under the sun is this: Go to an eye clinic and check the health of your eyes. Then buy photochromic eyeglasses. They protect your eyes from the sun's UV rays. This dangerous rays can lead to blindness, dry eyes etc as you get older. Also protect ur body with trousers, long sleeve shirt and a wide brim hat. The sun can cause cancer of the skin. Work mainly in the morning and evening. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

FarmTech:Spray Tube might seem expensive for a starter. If he has the strength to carry a Knapsack sprayer... That'll be the fine because the Nozzle has a direction. Spraying in the Afternoon should be when the seeds has germinated already i guess because if you spray water on the soil... It might boil the seeds |

Another harvest today..I took this picture earlier today, if a Gardner tell me he achieve 15-20 fruit per stand, no cap! I will believe because I know he will have the time to care for it. This is two stand and I had already harvested at least 4 fruit from each. 3 Likes

Nezzjnr:. Do U mean irrigating with knapsack sprayer? . I never knew afternoon watering will boil ungerminated seeds. Have u had bad experience with it b4? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 1:52pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:. I usually think that rainy season is a period of glut oo. Was the seeds costly when u planted? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 3:36pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
FarmTech:Yes you can irrigate with Knapsack... I've done that before. Most people said Watering in the Afternoon isn't ideal. It's either early in the morning or late Afternoon or rather Evening |

Nezzjnr:I posted about SSP fertlizer on a WhatsApp forum and I was challenged by the owner of the group that it was not relevant to cucumber. I couldn't believe my ears.� SSP fertlizer is the foundation for all crops as it has 20% phosphorus, 18% calcium and 11% sulphur. I don't post much as I do formally due to a lot of ignorant folks online who think they know all about farming. We learn everyday. My next cucumber must have 40 fruits by fire by force� 3 Likes |

Nezzjnr: Yes, watering in the afternoon isn't ideal not because it will cook the seeds but because the rate of evaporation will be so high and the plants might eventually not utilize the water... I hope this helps |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Cedagrochemical(f): 7:10pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: If you can get a quality SSP Fertilizer, it's a great idea... But if you ain't sure of the quality, manure alone does the job for me |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Cedagrochemical(f): 7:12pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6: Thanks for your recommendation sir... Kudos to you for the great work you doing here |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 7:20pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:Look for parthenocarpic variety and the yield might even be more. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 7:27pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:Lol. Imagine a cucumber plant above 12 weeks and still thriving and fruiting and bringing out new branches. It must be the additional nutrients from these fertlizers especially SSP and mop that is assisting. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 7:44pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Cedagrochemical:Thanks for your Input. Even in the evening... It has to be anything From 5 |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 7:46pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
emmaachile2:I haven't allowed my Cukes to go beyond 10 weeks ooo Maybe I'll try it in my House garden |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 7:52pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:I saw some new fruits on three new bramches. I cut off the old branches which was drying up and the fruit count so far from that particular plant has been about 18 harvested. I noticed a difference in taste between these seedless fruits compared to other seed variety. It's way better and a little saltier compared to most tasteless cucumbers I have eaten from the market. It could be the treatment they are receiving anyway. Next planting with Diva F1 from east west should be in two weeks time. I don't want to run out of cucumbers/tomatoes ever at home again. 1 Like |
