Redomi: for the leafy, you can broadcast urea in the evening and water/irrigate immediately to avoid burning of leaves. for fruity, u can side-dress with NPK. |

Jub101:. Farmtech not Fatmtech lol. Anyway, for leafy vehetables, chicken manure is the best. For fruits like cucumber, I use pig manure in the planting holes, after some weeks I side dress with poultry manure and during flowering, I use NPK weekly and also side dress with poultry manure. Side dressing with pig manure have not given me gud result unless it is buried. |

Jub101:. Do sth about the weeds. Paraquat will do a great job. |

11-3-23 weeding process with hoe ongoing. Farming is hard don’t let anyone tell you otherwise but with great work comes great reward so we endure the pain and wait for the gain. Management is key in every business. It been a while here 2 Likes

I enjoyed your thread and the clarity in it. So what time is most appropriate to spray the herbicide? Because I'm a bit confused here. And is it compulsory to spray it ? Jub101: |

How many times have U applied fertilizers on them |

Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 11:10am On Mar 13, 2023 |
joyousever:Spray immediately after planting and if work doesn’t permit spray no longer than 2days after planting |
Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 11:12am On Mar 13, 2023 |
Bishopatra:I haven’t applied fertilizers at all. I do use foliar fertilizer tho. I will be doing just one application with 20:10:10 NPK |
Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 11:14am On Mar 13, 2023 |
Jub101:Application of fertilizer depends on a lot of factor which is why soil test is very key. The land I use is very high in organic debris I can even do without fertilizer if I want to but to get an optimum yield I will apply a little to reduce stress of pod formation on the Okro plants |

FarmTech:Forgive my typo jare |
Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by joyousever(f): 4:44pm On Mar 13, 2023 |
Okay. Thank you. Please how is okra planted? Is it planted by boring holes and putting the seeds inside or by just spraying it on the soil? And can it be planted immediately after tilling the ground or after some time? Jub101: |

FarmTech:I had to stifle a laugh… You corrected OP on the right spelling of your name and then went ahead to spell vegetables as vehetables. It just proves that no one is above mistakes. But that’s on the lighter side… Nice thread. Kept me engaged till 12. 52 a.m had to read till the last page 7 even though feeling sleepy. But it was a good read and worth it. I sure learnt a thing or two here. Kudos to OP for sharing your knowledge and every other person that contributed to make the thread interestingly educative! 1 Like |

Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 4:09am On Mar 19, 2023 |
Vegetable farming is very tedious so pleas think about it before you start o. Lucrative IF cultivated at the right time but not easy. |
Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 4:11am On Mar 19, 2023 |
To newbies please always try and start small even if you have the money to spend. Your first project should always be your learning curve. Don’t go and waste your time, money and effort. 1 Like |
