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.

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.

Whats is the dosage used per knapsack for foliar pls?

flowmama:

I use 50 grams per knapsack. It is a micro nutrient.

Thanks.

But instead of using Mag sulphate as micro, why not by chelated micronutrient and apply as foliar. This contain lots of other micronutrients

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.

how much does it cost by the way.

yes! Downy mildew is not satisfactory, and is not green enough for my market.

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.

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!

It's meant to be once in 7 days.

Twice during raining season

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

Everyone should just do what works for them so far they're getting it right.

I spray after every harvest.

Please WhatsApp 08034957525. I can't pick calls now cus I have hearing issues. Thanks

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 .

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.

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.

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. The only 1 time I have issue with my seedlings is when I bought fake Cocopeat
