Chidiebubeoji:How your farm now bros... Harvest go don full ground o😊 Just planted my yesterday... |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 9:46am On Sep 28, 2023 |
omoniyisam: Root knot nematode no try at all. But I thank God. The plants are really trying and thriving to still produce under the pressure. Just did my third harvest yesterday. Wow. What cultivar did you plant sir? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by omoniyisam: 10:41am On Sep 28, 2023 |
Chidiebubeoji: Oh really? Sorry about that o boss. Jorad and murano. Like how many bags so far now |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 3:38pm On Sep 28, 2023 |
omoniyisam: 12 so far. Jorad and Murano? Thats Good👍 These are both very high yielding and female flower dominated varieties. If you manage them well, you don blow be that ! Infact I'm planting greengo next. Let me try a cultivar with a different fruiting habit. You should be ready to fertilize and water to prevent fruit abortion oh. Please sir, which of both varieties do you think is closer to greengo when it comes to deep green colour? 1 Like |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by omoniyisam: 6:55pm On Sep 28, 2023 |
Chidiebubeoji: Exactly, I plan to be fertilizing 5g every week. MOP and SSP and Calcium sulphate don dey ground. I have already made arrangement for reservoir of 10k litres of water. I'm expecting to start harvesting jorad by day 35 and murano by 42day. Our people here are really in love with Murano because of it's size but both are very green |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by omoniyisam: 7:05pm On Sep 28, 2023 |
Chidiebubeoji: Ah... the plant no too try this time o... I saw someone that planted darina and had 28bags from first harvest... 2,200plantd |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 9:48pm On Sep 28, 2023 |
omoniyisam: If it's cu99, with that population of 2,200 (of healthy plants). First harvest won't give you more than 8 - 10 bags plus or minus. Peak harvest from my experience was btw 2nd and 3rd harvest. Cu99 is good. Larger fruits. It's yield is not bad. But I don't think it's fair to compare its yield with Darina, greengo and the rest. Cu999 (African giant) has a monocious flowering habit (much more male flowers) |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 9:49pm On Sep 28, 2023 |
Farmerakinloye6: Ok thanks sir. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 10:04pm On Sep 28, 2023 |
omoniyisam: That's good oh. All the best. About the reservoir, how do you plan to irrigate sir? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by omoniyisam: 8:00am On Sep 29, 2023 |
Chidiebubeoji:I've gotten holes that my boy will be using for irrigation for now... I will install drip by the time we enter dry season full-time |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by omoniyisam: 8:02am On Sep 29, 2023 |
Farmerakinloye6: Hello boss. Are you still harvesting from your 4k stands? Pls how many bags so far? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by opes: 1:10pm On Sep 29, 2023 |
omoniyisam: How about using watering can sir? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by omoniyisam: 1:35pm On Sep 29, 2023 |
opes:The stress of refilling watering can will be much now ... the holes will just be connected to the reservoir simple |

omoniyisam:remain like two times harvest, most will be small small. Till next year again! 1 Like |

Farmerakinloye6:Wow next year?! Dry season farming between Oct to dec doesn't worth it or why till next year pls |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 4:23pm On Sep 29, 2023 |
Farmerakinloye6: Wow. Is it that you have started holiday sir, or you're focusing on tomatoes right now. I thought maybe you might join us to sell December. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 8:02am On Sep 30, 2023 |
omoniyisam:if you plant October, Then harvest Nov-dec make sense! I will not be planting again because am preparing for holiday, and I have lots of tomato stand that will be ready for harvest from October ending till early January. 3 Likes |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 3:50pm On Sep 30, 2023 |
opes:. Yes. But rotate it with others like saaf and hexaconazole-mancozeb |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by opes: 6:25pm On Sep 30, 2023 |
FarmTech: Thank you. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 11:00am On Oct 02, 2023 |
Land soak today! Price today 10-8k but I sold my own 6k because it has so many (last harvest) small one, and not so green . |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Bettergoat: 3:20pm On Oct 02, 2023 |
Is there anything we can do to make them greener Farmerakinloye6: |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by omoniyisam: 9:19am On Oct 03, 2023 |
Chidiebubeoji: Hello bro. How's your cucumber thriving under the attack of nematodes now? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 4:11pm On Oct 05, 2023 |
omoniyisam: Manage harvest six times now. One more harvest, then I clear off. Cuz they're going already. I guess i saw this coming but understimated it, the ravaging power of nematodes. I will never try and plant without the intensive use of wormforce again. That's an experience for the sake of the future. Excited for the next project. So, how's yours. Guess you've planted. 1 Like |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by omoniyisam: 8:37am On Oct 06, 2023 |
Chidiebubeoji: Eyah, sorry about that. But are you sure it's nematodes... is the nutrient and fungi management good enough? Yea, I've planted last week. |
