okoroemeka:. What size of raingun did u use? I usually thought that breaker that ''slaps' the water repeatedly will effectively break the droplet size. |

DeLaRue: How long after the rains are gone should I expect to start replanting. My cucumber farm was devastated by DM, and I just cleared them last week, but the rains ain't here again. Surprisingly, even though most of the cukes didn't produce fruit, I was surprised to see that some produced, although fear no gree me sell them sha. I just left them all in d farm |

Yampotatocarrot: I personally stopped new cucumber planting a couple of weeks ago, but that's because September is the worst time for persistent rain in my area. I fear DM will be particularly problematic then. I have moved to cabbage for now. However, it's a personal decision. If you're ready to battle DM, you don't have to stop planting. Start applying fungicide early and stick to a spraying rota religiously. This should help you to manage DM and lead to a fruitful harvest. Go back a few pages and read Mr Okoroemeka's spraying recommendation. Finally, you should be selling the cucumbers your DM infested plants are producing. They're good to eat. Just make sure to pack only straight & perfectly formed ones as market women usually will not accept badly shaped cucumbers. In my experience, DM result in a lot of badly shaped cucumbers. |

Wow what a read... So it took me 2 days to go from page 1 to page 39. I must honestly commend Mr Emeka for this thread, it has really broaden my knowledge though I am still far from where I want to be. It's past 2 am and can't sleep, pondering and calculating on my next move. My little story I got a job, started on the 1 first of August and quit on the second because I am determined to make success out of farming. Not like I have all the needed tools and resources but I believe with kind people on this forum, I will be able pull it off. Right now, I am really counting on Everybody from @okoroemeka to @Wizs2019, @FarmTech @FMCASH and a host of others I may not have mentioned. I currently have 1 hectare of land close to ofada in ogun state and I have commenced land preparation basically on hermicide and ploughing. I intend to plant 3 different crops on the land including cucumber occupying one acre. I have plans for drip irrigation, staking etc. I was thinking pepaper on the other acre but since Oga Emeka is advising against it due to rain I am thinking of replacing it with another crope. While on the last acre I intend farming potato on it. Just to have a balance of from a high risk to low risk crops. I am hoping with your kind advice, gestures and help I will be able to pull this off. @Wizs2019 I will really apprecrate it if I can come meet you in person on your farm. Once aagain, i am glad to have come across this page. Thank you |

benardj3:deformed fruits can be the results of pollination problems,I read an article that said cukes female flower must be visited by bees for a minimum of ten times to produce perfect shape fruits,seems you have shortage of bees in that farm,stop using insecticide for the meantime let's see if the bees will come back. |

FarmTech:not that cabbage likes rain like rice,but it loves the cool weather that comes with the rainy season,the major issue I see in cabbage farming is bolting,if the temperature steps into the 30c range is a problem,but now we are having average mean temperature in the 20c and issa goal. |

4words:haaahaaa!!!wizs2019 is the new MVP in town,a confirmed no nonsense badass farmer,I was actually reading a write up by our analysts about safety in applying farmyard manure,while it's common sense to wear gloves and protect yourself well,going as far as wearing full body covering,oxygen mask ,eye goggles,etc is laughable ,if u try working under the sun with a full body covering you will understand what I mean,and also saying that manure causes cancer is clearly an indication that most people are far away from reality.and@4words watch this space keenly I will be going to NIHORT to check out their improved okra varieties today,so you can plan for okra on that your land,it's low maintenance,less labor and prices are good now. |

DeLaRue: Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. I believe the worse is over when it comes to rainfall in my own area, also I'm all about maximising available land (my farm is just about half plots, and I believe cukes will produce highest compared to other veggies, reason I'm sticking with cukes). I was worried the DM infected cukes will have a negative effect on human health, reason I didn't bother selling them, now I know better. |

okoroemeka: The highest I did when applying poultry manure was wrap something around my hands, although I think spraying insecticide might require the nose mask. However, my search for rabbit manure still continues, aside it has been said severally here to be better than poultry, I'm also damn sure it won't be as heavy as poultry manure, cos poultry manure is so so heavy to carry, walahi 1 Like |

Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by excanny: 5:02pm On Aug 07, 2019 |
vosquare: Get a large bin with tight cover. After pouring manure into it, put a carbon source(smooth sawdust, dry grasses, shredded papers, etc) on top. You turn the mixture together once in a week. And cover up. Like that for 6 months. By then, the pathogens would have died off and it will be odourless. You can then mix with soil for your nurseries or as side-dressing on your farm. |
