Farmerakinloye6:
I use three different insecticide with different active ingredient, Caterpillar force is one of it...so I rotate!

Okay. But sir, can cyper force ( cypermethrin 10 ec) be an alternative to this caterpillar force? Incase I don't find caterpillar force.
Thanks

HornyTave1:


Mine was Jorad. The ones I sprouted are doing fine.

Okay. Please what's the cost of 50g Jorad and the likely performance (yield and disease resistance)?

REUBEN010:

I bought for 15k excluding waybill.

Yield and disease resistance depends on your agricultural practice

cypermethrin has no or little effect on caterpillars. If you want quality fruit use caterpillar force.

Okay. Noted. Thanks

Please, any farmer with experience on this;

1. Please what is yield comparison between
Greengo, cu999 and Murano F1?
Assuming they are all managed efficiently.

2. Also, is it safe to plant two different varieties at once?

Thanks for your response

1. Have never seen cu999 production but I have seeing Murano. In terms of yield and market respect, I will give it to greengo. In my market if you bring other cultivar when greengo is available, your face will be like 😕😟😒. Imagine others selling at 10k and your own is be pricing 4k?
2. Both cultivar will cross..

Alright. The way you love this greengo ehn...

So sir, I'm currently on a greengo project.
And I agree with you on yield. But I still have a lot to learn

This is the thing.

My plants normally set out female flowers all over. But 98 percent of plants only focus on one fruit at a time, then aborts the rest until I harvest before it grows another fruit.

How are you able to get 2,3,4 and even 5 fruits from a plant at a time

These are some pics though...

Do you fertilize well? I also read where some people combine it with those that bear many male flowers.

I spray foliar fertilizers more often than I use NPK side dressing.

So you suggest it's a pollination and fertilizer
Problem right?

I'm not sure for now. Like how often do u apply npk and foliar. How much npk do u apply?

I use super gro and calcium nitrate weekly.

But NPK, I've only used two times since planting. I guess it's a time factor. Because I spend most of my time irrigating every day and
It is manual irrigation with cup,. So I don't have enough chance to put npk one after the other. But for the few times I put, I dissolved it in water then make the solution very thick. After that I make my holes and feed plants with about half plastic spoon each.

The weather is extremely hot. So I have fear applying npk in granule form

The npk is not enough. I use 30ml NPK per plant, once every 2 harvests or more. You also have to water very well.

By 30 ml, do you dissolve npk too??

Please stol using supper grow @ flowering stage. It might be the course. I have that personal experience on my last project.

Wow, so what fertilizer do you use then?

Chidiebubeoji:

No oo. No time for that. It's unneccessary. I meant using a 30ml plastic for measuring herbicides. Then fill it with npk and apply.

Hmm... That is a lot of quantity compared to the bottle top i used to hear...

So do you spread round the plant or you bury on one spot?

Pls how many hours will be enough to irrigate cucumber plants using drip tape on a daily basis.

I make a shallow hole that is about 5cm long a d 5cm away from the plant. Bottle top is too small.

Chidiebubeoji:
These are some pics though...

from your picture I can see your farm land is still fertile and your farm is neat. However, your water is not enough and the weather is hot, this will definitely affect yields. Try it again when rain start, you will see difference.

if am in your shoe, I will irrigate in the morning for like 30-50 minutes in the morning, then 30minnutes in the evening.

You can use DPRO Incase you don't find caterpillar force... Empty a sachet into 5 litres of water. Measure 100ml of the solution per 16L knapsack... Super effective

It's available on Cedagro.com

Chidiebubeoji:

Use D.I grow red
Boost extre
Npk foliar etc

Yes sir !!!! Thanks for the compliment. I tried my best to do it your style. Only thing is I don't have drip and enough water.
😊😊 I'm excited and warming up for my rainy season project !!!

But I'm worried about fungal infestation.

Remember that video where you told us that you spray twice in a week and after rainfall,

1. What if it gets to the point where rain falls every day, do I keep spraying every day? That is a lot of fungicide oh.

2. And since Cabrio duo is systemic, how often do you use it sir?

1. no! Sometimes I even spray just once, where is the time and money to waste!
2. Depends on rain, sometimes once in two weeks or Three weeks.
