emmaachile2: Could that have been Profitable Cucumber Farming Group? I think I saw something like that. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 9:15pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
emmaachile2:But most markets don't buy them |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 9:17pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:Don't buy which one? Seedless cucumber? zxcvbnmlkjhgfds:It's the group. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by zxcvbnmlkjhgfds: 9:20pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
emmaachile2: Most times I double check any information I get from that group. I was told there not to spray fungicide again even after rain fell later in the day I sprayed. Meanwhile I've learnt from FarmerAkinloye6 and Google that it'll be necessary to reapply the spray! |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 9:20pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
emmaachile2:Yes... Seedless cucumber Unless you are selling to all these Top Restaurants and Shopping malls and it has to be grown using the Organic pattern. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 9:25pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:This our area buy all kinds of things. I don't think any variety outside the light green ones are rejected here. The markets here are more matured than most other markets. Naija get problem sha! |

emmaachile2:I'll try one of those seedless cucumbers one day |

Bro Kindly enlight me on how to use SSP with manure before planting cucumber with dosage. I mean how many grams of SSP per hole? emmaachile2: |

komoland:Pepsi plastic Cover |

Nezzjnr:. If he has time and the number of plants is small, he shud use knapsack. If he can afford spray tube of N12k (100m), he shud go for it. . From my experience, afternoon watering is very good. Evening watering shud be avoided by all means bc of foliar diseases. The leaves shud be dry by evening. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 3:45pm On Aug 24, 2021 |
FarmTech:One Hour is okay to water 1k plants using Knapsack... I've tried it before. But the pressure of the Knapsack isn't too Fast |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by komoland: 5:12pm On Aug 24, 2021 |
Thanks Nezzjnr: |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 5:54pm On Aug 24, 2021 |
komoland:10g per hole but I have my own formula I use. I mix with npk+mop given my targets in split doses all through the life span. Cucumber just like tomato are a few of available plants that needs potassium more than nitrogen in all stages of production except the first week of planting. This is my formula for most cucumber production and I use a software to calculate this need from the 2nd week of planting. This should do for most cucumber except for very high production types like the seedless/parthenocarpic ones, there is a recommendation I get from the beit alpha cucumber which is almost double others. From the 4 week, increase dosage to 40g per plant. 3 Shares

@emma all this ur paparazzi too much |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 7:15pm On Aug 24, 2021 |
emmaachile2:. Cukes can do that. But the only problem u may encounter on a large scale is root knot nematode infestation. |

Cedagrochemical:. I think this will apply only to sandy soils. |

FarmTech:It's an inbuilt software from an agro Israeli company. Just give me your fertlizer types and I will do the calculation for you. Recommended fertlizer types are npk, SSP or dap or map, potassium nitrate or sop or mop, Epsom salt with limestone or calcium nitrate. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 8:50pm On Aug 25, 2021 |
emmaachile2:. Thanks. I will email u when ready. |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:16pm On Aug 26, 2021 |
FarmTech:yes, it was cost and scarce as at that time. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:27pm On Aug 26, 2021 |
emmaachile2:deep green is the deal here, yields is additional! If I see other cultivar that is green, and yield more than Greengo, of course I will sharply switch. Dem market women here no get joy at all, you will see them hissing up and down if it not dark green. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:33pm On Aug 26, 2021 |
Nastolly:I don't like how you throw subtle shade, that is your second time... what you call paparazzi is actually a deep insight! |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:35pm On Aug 26, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:no sir! But I will try it soon...are you sure it will not trigger change in color of fruit? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:51pm On Aug 26, 2021 |
zxcvbnmlkjhgfds:spraying after rain fall make sense, but some times you will not have choice than to comot eye, for example, when you spray expensive fungicide like Cabrio duo, the question you will ask yourself is "if you spray,and it rain again " immediately I harvested on Sunday, I sprayed both fungicide and insecticide, 10 minutes later it rained heavily, the pesticides Wash and I don't spray back. The result today is me harvesting many unmarketable Cukes (many Cukes with hole) 1 Like |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 11:05pm On Aug 26, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6: Noo... It won't Sa Infact some of my Jorad have started shooting out already... Something i watered on Tuesday ooo |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 11:15pm On Aug 26, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:Lol for those market women. Have you tried darina F1 before? It's seedless and extremely dark green like your greengo. If you get time, buy small pack and test on a portion on your farm. Seedless doesn't mean light green. Mydaz RZ f1 for example is darker and longer than greengo. Darina F1 is extremely dark too and looks just like greengo. The only con with all these extra productive varieties are management and more nutrient management because all flowers will bring fruit. Mydaz is also very expensive but delivers when compared to most other varieties (potential of 40 fruits). Because of cost, many small scale farmers into seedless cucumber go for Darina f1 which is a cheaper alternative to Mydaz RZ f1. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 4:19am On Aug 27, 2021 |
emmaachile2:darina is not in league of both JORAD and Greengo In terms of yield and green level, I will even rate Tokyo over darina in terms of yield. It that Mydaz RZ f1 have never see it production, how much is it, and how many seed inside it? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 7:55am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Has anyone gotten uniform germination here?? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by emmaachile2(m): 9:03am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:Unbelievable! It's likely the management oh. Mydaz RZ F1 is about 3500 for just 100 seeds. Darina F1 is up there if you get the nutrient right. Darina should give minimum of 10 mature fruits under open field but if no nutrient, even Mydaz may not even give 3 fruits to maturity. |
