Please, I Need Help On Cucumber Cultivation by NewDawnEra: 4:51pm On Jun 15, 2018 |
Hello Nairaladers, I reside in warri Delta state, and I have this passion for Agriculture. My area of interest is cucumber, but I dont have the idea, I had to contact two different nairaladers on these forum, surprisingly, I was ask to pay twenty thousand naira for three days training by one Mr Israel while another guy (Jay Jay) said I should pay in eight thousand naira into his account before he can send me his eBook. I know that knowledge is not acquired on a free mode, but I also believe that there are people that are ready to impact others with knowledge they've acquired, and as a result become a mentor to those that are ready to learn, that's the main reason for this write up. Please I need somebody with vast knowledge of cucumber farming to help me or guild me on how to go about it. I want to start it on a small scale size of 100X50 plot of land, also I will like to know if forty thousand naira capital can be enough to invest on it. Thank you and God bless |

NewDawnEra: Very wrong approach to start mentioning names of people you talk to privately on a public forum. Anyway, you need a good water source and irrigation kit for cucumber farming. If you are 100% sure of getting rain every 2 days for 2.5 months to 3 months, skip this. Lol. I bet you can't get it even during rainy season. So, make sure you install irrigation because you need to irrigate daily. Cucumber needs water. Else, you are on your way to loss. You should have around 1,600 to 2,500 plant population on your plot of land. You need around 80 grams of seed if seeds germination rate is 90% and you aim at 2,500 plant population for most hybrid seeds. Some new varieties will be around 50 grams or less. Im sure you will spend minimum of N15k. Better to buy bags of fertilizers...a bag of npk and a bag of urea. Then, you need to get calcium and magnesium based fertilizers with micro nutrients foliar fertilizer. If you want good harvest, you should get your spraying program intact. Get quality fungicides and pesticides of different brands. Fungicides are expensive. Honestly, you cannot use N40,000k. I suggest you make research based on what I have written above. Reach out to sellers. Get the costs of all you need. https://www.nairaland.com/4422247/using-micro-scale-agricultural-systems#66218273 Check this thread, and learn how to become an entrepreneur before you become a farmer. Make thorough research. Go through my posts and you might learn some lessons which will help you. Approach a winner and not just take advice from every Jack and Jerry. Best of luck. 1 Like |

Other people are learning. can i plant cucumber during this raining season |
Re: Please, I Need Help On Cucumber Cultivation by Nobody: 11:29am On Jun 20, 2018 |
kripen: You cannot learn by just reading cucumber threads on nairaland. But if you are smart, you can get it right without visiting any farm. It is the worst and the best time to do it. Why the worst? Rain spoils it. It causes fungi infection, and 90% farmers don't do it during rainy season. Northen farmers dorminate market all through dry season. Therefore, you must use the best seeds, quality agro chemical (forget organic farming during rainy season if you do not want to cry, except under greenhouse), avoid weeding, etc.. Why the best? Selling price is like four to five times higher during rainy season. Cucumber and Tomato. Both can make you extremely rich. And can frustrate you to a point you hate the word "farming". |

NewDawnEra: Will you be giving out the cucumber out for free when you produce it? Sure the answer is no But you expect someone to put you through the process of planting for free ![]() To be frank with you, there is no amount of internet reading or suggestions that will give you a break through in cucumber. You will just be wasting your fund and your time Not just cucumber, but in every farming business I will suggest you go learn from a practising practical farmer. Pay your dues and get the work done Quote me anywhere And my word will keep ringing in your head after you must have gamble with the little fund you have if you don't go an acquire practical knowledge Why did you think people run into farm and rushed back? Because they fail to plan You can't avoid practical paying experience for you to be successful in farming business. He who has ears let him hear |
