Cocoboms:hello bro, please can you share your experience on kenzo f1, is it better to Tokyo f1 in terms of yield, size, how many days to first harvest and resistance to disease, thanks. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Cocoboms(m): 3:05am On Apr 28, 2019 |
FMCASH: Hi sir, I haven't grown Tokyo f1 before, so I can't make a comparison. I'll start with resistance to disease. I'm growing Kenzo 2 f1 for the first time this DRY season and I'm regular with my pesticide spray program every 10days. Fungal disease hasn't been a challenge to me cos we just left dry season. I didn't spray a single dose of fungicide on my Cucumbers throughout the dry season. But I started adding fungicide to my spraying just few days ago as a precautionary measure since d rains have started. I havent noticed any other disease on my Kenzo 2 f1. Now I believe you know Kenzo 2 f1 is a "completely' Gynoecious hybrid producing only female flowers. I use drip irrigation and I fertigate with soluble plant nutrients through the drip irrigation water on a daily basis. With this practice, I have noticed Kenzo 2 f1 is an aggressive grower (the vines get very big very fast). It produces alot of side shoots which are very productive. The fruits are also big in size (close to Murano 2 f1 in size) and even more dark green than Murano 2 f1. It takes 40days till first harvest. I hope this helps. However, you can't plant it alone as it doesn't produce male flowers. 1 Like |

Cocoboms:thanks very much, did you allow the side shoot to grow or you prune off? Its kenzo f1 differ from kenzo 2 f1. Very great that all is female, you do harvest up to how many fruit per plant with good agricultural practice, thanks? How much is 50grams

okoroemeka: What's the effects of these systemic chemicals on human health? |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 1:34pm On Apr 28, 2019 |
excanny:if it has any effect all of us should have been dead long ago, because without these chemicals it's impossible to grow vegetables in the tropics,the humidity and temperature helps everything to grow to the next level including weeds,insects,fungal and bacterial issues, even all of those chemicals sometimes can not kill some insects like leaf miner and whitefly. |

FMCASH: Since I started the cukes in the dry season, I didn't bother to prune. I don't know if Kenzo f1 differs from Kenzo 2 f1, Kenzo 2 f1 MIGHT be an improvement on Kenzo f1. But most 50g tin available come as Kenzo 2 f1. I have only ever seen Kenzo f1 as a 5g sachet. This is my first time of growing Kenzo 2 f1, so I'm not sure how many fruits per plant, but I can clearly see that it's very productive. But you mustn't forget that your yield for any good variety still boils down to GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Cocoboms(m): 1:39pm On Apr 28, 2019 |
FMCASH: I have noticed that Murano 2 f1 can comfortably produce 10 fruits and above with a very good fertilization program. 50g of Kenzo 2 f1 when I bought mine was 6700 naira. |

I bless the day that I saw this thread. My Ogas in the house thanks for all the Info. Plz if at all there is a whatsapp group for this thread, kindly share me the link because there is more that I am yet to learn |

okoroemeka: Why are they banning them in the US and in Europe? Moreover, don't expect them to kill instantly. We are talking of slow cancerous growth over the years. 4 Likes |

Cocoboms: Please, what soluble fertilizer did you used(brand name and active ingredients). NPK granular is hectic to work with(making sure it doesn't burn the fragile cucumber root, and at the same time, it must be applied closely as possible is really stressful) . |

ogbongenet:this is a serious crisis,the weather definitely is changing and we have to adapt and change with it,the last rain in our area in 2018 was on 14 October and it didn't rain again until middle March 2019 and since then we have seen rain roughly 4 times, planning for drip irrigation is a must for any big vegetables farmer this coming dry season, because there will be less rain,high temperature and soaring heat. 1 Like |

God wil help us with dis rain of a thing o, please do tomato seed needs to be soaked or given any special treatment for the seeds to germinate also how do i achieve a higher percentage of seeds that will germinate fromm pepper. frm d can i bought (big sun m). i dnt have up to 700 germinatd seedlings |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by ogbongenet: 3:50pm On Apr 30, 2019 |
Jove2012:You can also soak tomatoe seed . Tomatoes seed has higher germination rate compared to pepper seed.That 700 seedlings is not too bad , if you maintain it very well just 3 times harvest will cover the cost of the seed.The one I did last I got more that 4k seedlings but I wasn't around to wet and my wife that supposed to cover up for me fell sick,i lost more than 80% of the seedlings ,very painful. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by ogbongenet: 3:55pm On Apr 30, 2019 |
okoroemeka:You are right bro.irrigation is just the solution,though it's expensive but it's the best if someone want to make it in vegetables farming.CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 4:52pm On Apr 30, 2019 |
Jove2012:hmm,700 germinated seedlings from a 50 gram can, average 10,000 seeds,that is a disaster,many things can cause that,1,we use soil that has been strelized by burning firewood on top this eliminates all soil parasites,2 covering seeds with a thick layer of soil makes it difficult for young crops to come out,3 over watering,a nursery tray topsoil will be dry before any watering,4 hot pepper seed need to be soaked in water overnight to speed the germination process, because the more a seed stays in soil many will rot |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Jove2012: 11:19pm On Apr 30, 2019 |
okoroemeka: THANKS. I will take note and make amendments |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Jove2012: 11:22pm On Apr 30, 2019 |
ogbongenet: THANKS. NOTED SIR |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Pes13: 11:37am On May 01, 2019 |
Cocoboms: No sir. But what type of soluble fertilizer do you use for fertigation. I am planning for drip irrigation in my subsequent planting, but it's quite expensive though. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Cocoboms(m): 8:50pm On May 01, 2019 |
Pes13: Urea and some other jubaili fertilizer |
