webhostbiz:Several things could cause that 1. Inadequate watering 2. Reacting to chemicals such as insecticide, pesticide or fertilizer 3. The soil is infected etc Check what and what you have been applying to your crop |

@ jethto, titanic2, neduzz, Watering has been adequate, no insectides or pesticides used and about soil infection, that may be another factor cause I noticed the pumpkin leaves nearby are like that ooo. Thanks |

yellowing of leaves is chlorosis ( de soil lacks nitrogen) and browning to death of leaves is necrosis. Apply compost manure, poultry, pig dungs. |

webhostbiz: Try to add nitrogen nutrients to the soil around the plant root. If you discovered tiny or spotty holes on the leaves, look out for beetles and find suitable spray to apply. Ensure they are having enough sunlight during the day |

It could be that the plant need some water. I once have those type of leave with my cucumber farm. I was still contemplating what to do when there was an heavy downfall which makes everything disappear. Adding more chemicals might compound the problems. |
Re: Cucumber Leaves Drying Off, Some1 Help by Soloxam(m): 7:43pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
@ op you said no chemicals has been used, I think this is a fungi infection called downy mildew, it started with a brownish spot at the middle and the leave margins burnt........ Copper oxide is the solution. It a major disease cucumber farmers face especially during raining season. One way to control is that avoiding over head irrigation but how do u control that in raining season? It not possible cos u can't stop rain..... That is why we advice u plant a resistance verities or a verity that is tolerant to such disease...... If it and Hybrid seeds u planted, don't worry much just apply the copper oxide but if it an open pollinated, pls try again later...... 1 Like |

Soloxam: How can he/we get the copper oxide? |
Re: Cucumber Leaves Drying Off, Some1 Help by Soloxam(m): 7:49pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
Neduzze5:Go to any agro shops who sales chemicals, tell them u want any fungicide that contain copper oxide...... I know of KOXIDE. |
Re: Cucumber Leaves Drying Off, Some1 Help by webhostbiz: 10:23am On Jun 29, 2015 |
@soloxam thank you. The seed I planted is murano the one I bought from your office at ibadan. I will buy the copper oxide and use to see the result. Thank you |
Re: Cucumber Leaves Drying Off, Some1 Help by Soloxam(m): 10:50am On Jun 29, 2015 |
webhostbiz:if it is murano u planted don't be disturb, it is tolerant to downy mildew, just get copper oxide and spray at 5 days interval. Cos it infected already. But I advice every cucumber farmer to start spraying as early as possible to prevents this disease, they said prevention is better than cure...... |
