Good morning all.. A little science gist, we actually had some Lagon herbicide bottles remaining from what we used earlier this season so I did a test to see if it would work for okra too.. So two experiments was carried out Experiment 1 Step 1 I created a seed bed in a very comfy area.. Step 2 planted my seeds and sprayed judiciously with Lagon Step 3.. watering and pictures Experiment 2 I simply planted okra seeds on an already existing ridge sprayed Lagon herbicide and left it to the rains that's normal conditions |

Pictures from experiment 1.. Bed created, planted and sprayed.. subsequent day to day pics .. germination was visible from day 2 20 seeds was planted 14 germinated but some young seedlings had yellowish leafs 1 Like

Experiment 2.. pictures of germinated seeds on old existed ridge .. 10 seeds was planted here

Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by willybaby(m): 11:00am On Aug 26, 2021 |
So from my first experiment it showed Lagon had a little effect.. for conclusive evidence I decided to carry out another 1 this time I used the seeds we would be planting, soaked a little in warm water from last night and planted today |
Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by willybaby(m): 11:02am On Aug 26, 2021 |
Pictures below show a single bed.. 2 seeds planted by hole, bed was divided equally into 2 parts and one part was drenched in Lagon

Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by willybaby(m): 11:03am On Aug 26, 2021 |
Part appearing yellowish and having a plastic bottle beside it Chemical was applied... Let's see what the results would be

Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by willybaby(m): 12:32pm On Aug 27, 2021 |
Conclusive evidence shows Lagon herbicide as a premergent ain't good for okra.... |
Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by willybaby(m): 12:36pm On Aug 27, 2021 |
Ploughing done and dusted, harrowing things on point

Currently a basin of okra keeps rising and rising in price, hmmm just how much might we make that's the question been asked ![]() I for one don't count my chicks before they Hatch

willybaby:Good job , this water is good to be tested , I replied the email you sent me but didn't get a response again from you Congrats I will wish to try this but have in mind that if you don't mulch it means you will fall back to hand weeding as no chemical will work here so you may need to consider both options on cost effectiveness Goodluck |
Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by OluchiDelly: 11:49pm On Aug 27, 2021 |
noeloge82: Great job you are doing in your poultry/animal biz/threads. As regards mulching films, it will not be cost effective for okra as okra does not belong to the league of tomato,cucumber etc in terms of ROI. A big basket of watery local tomatoes in my area was sold for 20k today but such is not possible for okra . |

willybaby:What is the average yield you expect for this crop per hectare? ![]() |
Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by noeloge82(m): 7:48am On Aug 28, 2021 |
OluchiDelly: Thanks you are doing great also you have been a great asset here But pls will the manual weeding not be expensive considering the size of farm , what do u think |
Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by willybaby(m): 10:11am On Aug 28, 2021 |
OluchiDelly:yes you did and your absolutely right, I try not to think about what the price might be when we start harvesting come October... ![]() |
Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by willybaby(m): 10:15am On Aug 28, 2021 |
noeloge82:we plan to mulch with rice husk or dried corn stalks after our neighbours might have harvested but not for weed actually but to conserve soil moisture. In regards to weeding, I don't know about any premergent for okra that's why I did the test with Lagon, so we have no option but to weed when the time comes or spray with contact herbicide, nature of weed will determine |

Kobojunkie:@oluchidelly is the boss on this, but as for us we have a minimum target measured in baskets and once achieved its smiling into the end of the year ![]() |
Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by willybaby(m): 10:23am On Aug 28, 2021 |
So this would be our guard against pest, actually didn't know I still had this, am glad I will be saving money.. hello house hope this would be effective

Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by Kobojunkie: 3:10pm On Aug 28, 2021 |
willybaby:So how many times, each year, do you plant? ![]() |
Re: Winfarms 2021 Raining/dry Okra Farm by noeloge82(m): 3:45pm On Aug 28, 2021 |
willybaby: Good plan , the truth is that their is no post emergent chemical for okro the best you can use is using small mouth nozzle and spray gently in between the okro but that should as from 3 weeks old , using contact chemical. But carefulness and steady hands is the key cos it will burn the okro once it touch the leaves Goodluck 1 Like |
