Go to page 1 of the thread you will find a picture that may help.

There is no need again since you will be using fertiliser.

Dadanoah:
pls dnt be vex abt my question....Do u mix insecticite and fungicide together and spray it every four!four! interval or what?...please which method do u use to spray it in time of harvest?,because chemical wil be at the cucumber skin and its harmful like that. THaNKS

I mix insecticide and Fungicide

I spray the plants but it's done at least 48 hrs before the day of harvest

owoademola:

I really appreciate your effort, kindly continue to work towards greater goal.
This is what I want to be seeing from NL not abusing the Man that said we should look inward.
I will be posting my Processing Plant soon, once its completed not depending on Dollar like some ignorance on this Forum that does not know the meaning of opportunity.
Kudos to you guy.

Thank you my brother.... Looking forward to seeing yours too very soon

You apply local fertilizer(dungs) while planting? How long does it take from planting to harvesting?

Please @jephito how do you apply the npk and urea? Do you just place them near the plant? or digg and mix them in? Thanks and congratulations on your harvest.

I just place them about 4"inches away from the plants.

No, I don't have the figure. But you can buy one and count to get the number of seeds in a 50g can

4th Harvest

You really did have a bountiful harvest!

Hope you will avail us what you made from it in respect to sales......is all about the figures!

Is this in line with the withdrawal period specified on the pesticide bottles

I think 48 hours is to little for the pesticides to get broken down and go into the harmless state

Please check.

Lol... There no cause for alarm.. The hot weather is responsible.
Just irrigate properly
