@vanpalee... great job my brother. I am also a cucumber farmer. Just had a very bad experience. lost my farm to pest attack. ... White flies, leaf miner, nematode. My raining season planting was so smooth .Didn't experience any itch. ...Nematode was the last thing I ever thought off. The whole thing all started with whiflies. Those things don't finish. it's like the more you spray them , the stronger the come back. I tried about 3 different insecticides. ... attacked, avesthrin and rocket. .... Thought white flies was the only issue until I uprooted one cucumber plant. lo and behold, nematode.....They almost have the same symptoms.... Yellowing of leaves, stunted growth etc. I tried all I could to save them, but it was too late. Painful though, but it was a great learning experience. Very important to treat your soil with nematicide.....leaf miner was the last to show up. Though called the Ibadan office of Agritropic, but it was bit late as I couldn't get somebody to help me get fighter from them...Please how effective was the fighter 35ec for white flies? Did it also work for the leaf miner? Did you have any experience of nematodes? ....Also let us know your rate of application and the quantity per knapsack... This your NEVER USE POULTRY MANURE stuff is a bit confusing. I have always used it. And I am very sure other people will want to know too. Most people are used to poultry manure......Abeg jasper, Soloxam your contributions will also be helpful. Thanks 1 Like |

Your thread has really made me more determined. There is no going back. Cucumber is one of the best vegetables to grow. Will definitely start work on the sack project. Thanks |
Re: My Successful Cucumber Sack Farm In Kaduna by vanpeele: 7:47am On Jan 31, 2016 |
@kaybosedemi Fighter is very very good. I use 1ml per 1 liter. When I had severe aphids attack I used 2ml per liter but only once but then continued with the first rate. I sprayed everyday till I was sure they were all dead. I sprayed once in 3 days after that then once a week when flowering began but stopped entirely because you need them bees. Take your time and spray on and under the leaves, and on the stem. Nematodes don't like a lot of water in the soil. Try drowning them. Don't let your soil dry out. Chicken manure in sack is what I'm against. It killed all the experiments I've used it with (maybe I'm unlucky with it). I hope this helps. |
