REUBEN010:Wow sorry about that. I hear say na Maize Farm dem dey always destroy. Can you give me the method of soaking the seeds inside the insecticides so the seeds won't lose it's potency |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by REUBEN010(m): 4:13pm On Sep 22, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: You soak the seeds in water and add a drop of the systemic insecticide or 2 pinches of furadan/wormforce (depending on the volume water) 5mins to planting. Just before planting, you drain the water and plant seeds. If possible, apply furadan/wormforce nematicide at the planting hills/holes while/after planting to further safeguard your seeds. 1 Like |

Nezzjnr: They also uprooted my planted okra seeds in 2019 but the damage was not as extensive as that of the maize. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 4:49pm On Sep 22, 2021 |
REUBEN010:Thanks a lot. Hope it won't have any effect on the seeds in terms of Production |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by REUBEN010(m): 6:46pm On Sep 22, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: No it won't. I've always treated my seeds such way before planting and haven't had any issues. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 6:52pm On Sep 22, 2021 |
REUBEN010:How do you measure the insecticide in which you use to treat the seeds |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by REUBEN010(m): 8:37pm On Sep 22, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: 1 drop in 50 - 100ml of water if liquid insecticide and 2 pinches if nematicide. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 8:40pm On Sep 22, 2021 |
REUBEN010:Is the drop a Tablespoonful of the Insecticide?? Looking at Imiforce as the Insecticide to use. Thanks a lot Boss |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by REUBEN010(m): 10:02pm On Sep 22, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: No Boss. Just like a drop from the fingertip. |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by aquadude15: 2:44pm On Sep 23, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:an acre is too much. it depends on the price at the particular time that you are selling. but with GAP you should be able to get about 70 bags or more on a plot |

OfficialSam:that is Downy mildew. senior, you need to do aggressive pruning on that your cucumber (cut all the lower leaf,and yellowish) if you can get your hand on Cabrio it will work fine at 50ml per 16lit. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Farmerakinloye6:850k is the Total excluding Borehole irrigation. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by OfficialSam(m): 5:01pm On Sep 25, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6: I don't use Cabrio though. I use Jumper D. It's in Powdering form. I have not been applying as often as i should due to persistent rainfall. I guess the inconsistency could be the issue. I will do pruning on Monday. Thanks boss!

Every farmer shud read this! Farming may go extinct in the future. Scientists can now grow food as microorganisms. And this can replace meat, milk, grains, pulses etc! We are talking about what may happen by 2030!! Read and tell me what you think: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/08/lab-grown-food-destroy-farming-save-planet |

Just finished reading this thread it's not easy . Want to go into farming. Hope u guys will guide me as it's my first time doing farming. So no much ideas hence will be coming with questions |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 9:55pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:. You are right bro. But then, if they succeed, competition for fruits and veg will be very high. I like the concept though, and with time, I will start my own experiments. Currently gathering as much knowledge as I can. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:37am On Sep 27, 2021 |
Beava:if you can talk with practicing cucumber farmer in your area will also be helpful! Ask your questions bro,I will always try to help. Welcome,and good luck. |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by uche393: 5:24pm On Sep 28, 2021 |
Good evening everyone, I finally settled for 500m drip tape since it can irrigate 1500+ plants, can 1 inch pvc pipe do the job effectively as mainline? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 8:47pm On Sep 28, 2021 |
uche393:How much did you use in Total for the 1500 plants for the drip irrigation |
