Nezzjnr:please, can this magnesium sulphate be gotten from Epsom salt |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 9:30am On Oct 20, 2021 |
bassey25:Yes Sir |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Ufeolorun(m): 1:21pm On Oct 20, 2021 |
LovesonBlezz: It looks like mg. Issue but since you spray foliar fertiliser, it could be a chemical burn. So you may wish to monitor things for a little while before rushing out Epsom salt. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by LovesonBlezz(m): 1:58pm On Oct 20, 2021 |
Ufeolorun:Alright |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 10:28am On Oct 21, 2021 |
fiddzy:Downy mildew resistance and green level. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 10:34am On Oct 21, 2021 |
LovesonBlezz:Downy mildew infection.... nothing you can do about it than to start managing it, cut the affected part, spray fungicide twice in week (preferably Cabrio@50ml in the evening) no how! you will see your own before it life span end. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by LovesonBlezz(m): 11:28am On Oct 21, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:okay boss, thanks... I have Cabrio on ground already. I've spread once though, definitely going to spray it tomorrow. Can l mix Cabrio with the forliar fertilizer and spray ![]() |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 5:51am On Oct 22, 2021 |
![]() Farmerakinloye6:sir u mean the downy mildew resistance is not satisfactory? But murano can come out dark green too I use magnesium sulphate on it. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 7:39am On Oct 22, 2021 |
fiddzy: Whats is the dosage used per knapsack for foliar pls? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 8:42am On Oct 22, 2021 |
flowmama:I use 50 grams per knapsack. It is a micro nutrient. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 8:54am On Oct 22, 2021 |
fiddzy: Thanks. But instead of using Mag sulphate as micro, why not by chelated micronutrient and apply as foliar. This contain lots of other micronutrients 1 Like 2 Shares

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 4:28pm On Oct 22, 2021 |
flowmama:you can use that too, but check the recommended dosage. As a farmer u have to make the most of what u have during production, when chelated micronutrients is not readily available i opt for epsom salt. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 4:29pm On Oct 22, 2021 |
flowmama:how much does it cost by the way. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 1:19pm On Oct 24, 2021 |
fiddzy:yes! Downy mildew is not satisfactory, and is not green enough for my market. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 1:44pm On Oct 24, 2021 |
LovesonBlezz:personally I don't like it. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Olaleyeabdullah(m): 3:15pm On Oct 24, 2021 |
bassey25:are you still in need of drip tape? Cedagro have the 50cm drip tape at 63k for 2000m. We both can share it into two if you still have interest. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by ideepaul: 8:55pm On Oct 24, 2021 |
I hope we all know that cabrio duo has a 7day preharvest interval, so from spraying to harvest can't be less than 7days if we follow standard practice, taking into account the implications of long term exposure to such chemicals, I am not castigating anyone for using cabrio, as I use it too, but at a different growth stage, just wanted us to think critically and come up with solutions that are effective, and also consumer friendly! Good evening ladies and gentlemen! 2 Likes |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 10:10pm On Oct 24, 2021 |
ideepaul:It's meant to be once in 7 days. Twice during raining season |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by ideepaul: 6:38am On Oct 25, 2021 |
Nezzjnr:When you spray cabrio duo, ethically, you can't harvest anything from such a farm until you meet the 7days preharvest interval! Same thing applies with some pesticides we use. My recommendation would be to use cabrio duo during the flowering stage and switch to a mancozeb based fungicide during the fruiting stage, space out crops for more aeration, and feed your crops properly |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Nezzjnr: 6:56am On Oct 25, 2021 |
ideepaul:Everyone should just do what works for them so far they're getting it right. I spray after every harvest. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by bassey25(m): 8:50am On Oct 25, 2021 |
Olaleyeabdullah:Yes I am still in need of it but I need a 30 cm drip spacing of both 1000 metet or 500. Al I want is an available 30 cm drip urgently I DNT mind if it's 1000 meter or 500 meter. Please in case you have or anyone does. Let me know Please WhatsApp 08034957525. I can't pick calls now cus I have hearing issues. Thanks |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 11:01am On Oct 25, 2021 |
Boss Farmerakinloye6, I intend using seedling trays with cocopeat for my dry season production . The place dey inside bush small but na roadside sha with borehole. I don't want to do direct planting because of increased insect presence during dry season . Pls other farmers too can contribute. How long will my seedlings be in nursery before transplanting to the field. I know tomatoe is like 3-4 weeks but don't really know about cucs. Make the thing no go overstay . |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 11:22am On Oct 25, 2021 |
fiddzy: 4 to 5days okay. Make sure you push the tray from beneath before pulling the seedlings to avoid root disturbance. Also, makes sure you don't place the trays directly on the soil so the roots don't attach to the soil when ready to transplant. Cucumber seedlings are very delicate. Overall, doing nursery saves lots of seeds from wastage. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by fiddzy(m): 12:06pm On Oct 25, 2021 |
flowmama:thanks |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 1:55pm On Oct 25, 2021 |
fiddzy:depends on weather ( temperature) sometimes I transplant on the 5th days why sometimes I wait till 8-9days, the last one I transplanted was on the 9th day. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 2:07pm On Oct 25, 2021 |
flowmama:I normally put all my seedling trays on soil ( nursery) both cucumber and tomato, the idea is for the seedling to tap nutrients since am not using manure nor fertilizer with the cocopeat, and I always have excellent nursery result. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
