Please great farmers how do you deal with rodents (suspecting rats) on the farm. My matured cucumbers are being eaten up by these rodents. Applied rodenticide and the attack stopped for some days n now it has resumed Is there a more effective way of dealing with these rodents |

Bigfellas:1.Cucumbers can be grown all year so long u have irrigation but the period for abundant yield is the rainy season but that is also when u have high disease attack.2.manure must be used as basal before planting then u can use NPK and foliar fertilizer to push it.3.yes,at vegetative 20 10 10,flowering 15 15 15 or you can use foliar spray. 4.my area is imo and anambra state, if u are in my axis I will give u one buyer u can't meet up.5,for your area it will be murano 2 f1.but my side is Cu 999.if u are not ready to put manure,fertilizer, stake,spray insecticide and fungicide please forget about cucumber. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Functionoftime:yes u are right.we have stopped using chemical fertilizer but we apply foliar fertilizer for micro nutrients, going organic all the way.more stress but u can reuse the same soil indefinitely, we have now planted 6 times with the same soil in our sack farm,we top it with manure every 2 weeks 2 Likes 1 Share |

okoroemeka:I thought you said we should adhere to foliar spray this dry season to avoid burnt? |
Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 4:13pm On Dec 25, 2018 |
FMCASH:it depends on soil,some soil are so infertile that fertilizer is a must,while some will give a good yield with only manure and foliar sprays,and also in very big farms using manure every 2 weeks is almost impractical,moreover the 1500 batch we planted without chemical fertilizer is out we have harvested twice and it is still like new..inorganic fertilizer is a double edge sword it will give u good healthy crops ,if used well but it will gradually destroy the land,if manure is used on a land it reconditions the soil and the microfauna that the soil can be used indefinitely without losing fertility. if given a choice I will take manure we don't have large lands for crop rotation in the east.and also note that chemical fertilizer do not increase yield it only makes the crop healthy what gives yield is the genetics of the seed,A GOOD YIELD STARTS FROM THE SEED! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 9:29pm On Dec 30, 2018 |
Cocoboms:from the little I know,that cucumber variety is only meant for climate controlled greenhouse it produces only female flowers and need no pollination, it is not meant for the open field and will not survive tropical conditions. |

okoroemeka: I am currently putting down my fungicide schedule from ur write up in the first page, since organic might just not cut it for me U said saaf and ridomil gold every week, then insecticide should only be applied once signs of insect attack are noticed (Laraforce if not fruiting, then actara if crops are already fruiting). Please, any adjustment to this should be stated. Also, what's the schedule for fertilizer application, although I'm gonna apply poultry manure to the soil in the bag before planting. Do I need to buy a sprayer to spray them, if not, how do I spray? Starting with 150 bags, two seeds per bag #Happy New Year# to everyone on this thread, may it be a year of divine favour for us all, Amen. 2 Likes |

Yampotatocarrot:anyone between the two fungicides can do,not necessary the two together its dry season fungal spread is very low.you can also use imiforce insecticide all through very low dosage and very active(5-10 ml per knapsack).20 10 10 NPK at vegetative growth(15-20 days)15 15 15 NPK at flowering (28 days)also spray foliar weekly.yes you will need 15 ltr capacity knapsack.but 150 bags is small now or do u want a pilot program. 2 Likes |

okoroemeka: My friend bought her cuke seed from Johnny seeds. They are expensive. Parthenocarpic cuke seeds are usually expensive. But their yield more than makes up for d cost of buying them. The one I bought in Nigeria last 2 years has been discontinued. But East west seeds has a parthenocarpic beit alpha variety in Nigeria called Basimah f1. Very very expensive 1000 seeds cost about 35k. Crazy! 1 Like 1 Share |
