@vanpeele, please how often do you fertilize and how many gram do you use per application. Thanks, and also when is the right time to use either npk or urea. Thanks once again

Once a week.
Depends on the stage of the crop.
A week or two after emergence.

Good job, vanpeele; very good job. I did sack farming from 2014 to 2015. It was interesting and challenging as well. Going through your thread has shown me what I can improve on. I will take another stab at it now. Thank you very much for sharing. God bless you.

I look forward to seeing posts on the other crops that you are growing now.

You stated those who don't have Lands'' there's no excuses not to farm abi and that's why yours is been farmed inside a sack?

How come, most of them are being kept on the Land and not in a sack being kept inside a Compound?

It's really a good job and a good effort. Keep it up.

I have some empty lands in kaduna that i can lane you incase you need more.

Please in need of land for lease. Where is the location of your lands? Thank you.

U need to get a curative fungicide, plug off infected leaves & emerging fruits that are infected. Yellowing of leaves can as well be attributed to deficiency of Nitrogen. Try planting a good hybrid seed for ur next planting & treat ur soil b4 planting. U can contact 08058173584 for ur hybrid seeds & how to manage ur cucumber farm. Thanks.

Get blood meal from abbatoir mix it with water and apply on the farm better still since the crops are about fruiting apply liquid fertilizer. As @akwonderman has said destroy the affected ones
Re: My Successful Cucumber Sack Farm In Kaduna by imhere: 10:40am On Sep 21, 2017
Use neem oil mixed with black soap to eradicate the pest that is if you are practising pure organic. If not purchase pesticide for it.

Once u plant, be very careful how u use herbicides oo. If u have not done it b4, try it on 1/2 plot or less and wait for a long time to see the effect. For atrazine herbicide, if u apply it at the proper rate it won't affect corn or cassava. U can also use paraquat to control weeds that grow between the rows.
